"This interview of yours really made me wait." As soon as he saw Lin Sen, Rhodes complained half-jokingly.

He originally thought that he would not wait long, because he was sure that Malaga would sign Linsen soon, but what he didn't expect was that due to the need for transfers, the signing was delayed until a few days ago, which was nearly two weeks later than Rod expected. In Rod's words, it's just waiting until the flowers are gone.

"Rest assured, it's still within the expiration date." Lin Sen also joked. At the moment, he is already the head coach of Málaga and there are some rules to be followed by the club, but Málaga gave the green light for this interview, and it is clear that they also want their manager to have a good relationship with the media. Malaga is not a big club, but its image is not big or small.

Exclusive interviews, for journalists, the good thing is that there are almost no restrictions on the scope of the question, and even some privacy questions can be raised, of course, whether the person is willing to answer or not, that's another matter. Because of the previous meeting, the conversation between Lin Sen and Rhodes went on very easily.

From when Linsen came to Spain, why did he become a team doctor, and why did he suddenly become the manager of Atletico Madrid...... Rod was not polite at all, the questions were simply varied, he didn't even let go of the question of whether Lin Sen had a girlfriend, and Lin Sen had nothing to hide, he answered truthfully one by one, and soon, the question came to the Malaga team.

"There's always been a rumor out there that the transfer rights for Malaga are in your hands, is that true?" Rod said quietly, as if the question was as common as the gossip questions that had come before.

"Not exactly." Lin Sen glanced at Rhodes and smiled, "But one thing is for sure, all the players that Malaga has brought in at the moment are the players I need." ”

Hearing Lin Sen's answer, Rod's heart moved: "So, I can understand that you were at least involved in the transfer of Malaga?" ”

"That's understandable." Lin Sen nodded.

He knows what Rod means, La Liga has always been the head coach only responsible for cooking, not responsible for grocery shopping, participating in grocery shopping, whether it is solely responsible or not, at least in La Liga is a special case.

"It's part of the contract too?"

"Nope. No, you don't. Lin Sen shook his head this time, and then laughed at himself, "You know, Malaga is not rich. ”

Not rich? Rod couldn't help but wonder in his heart, poor is poor, right?

"As far as I know, there are nine players in Málaga so far, except for Wellington, who played for Malaga last season, the others are all new faces, and among these new faces, apart from Gabi, the other seven players are basically under the age of 20, and the youngest Isco is not even 17 years old. Is this kind of recruitment idea the club's decision? Or yours? ”

'All the recruitment plans are decisions made by me and the club, and of course I don't deny that most of them are my decisions.

"So, this group of young players, will all enter the first team right away? Or is there selectivity in the first team? ”

"All the signings are part of the first-team program." Lin Sen's answer was affirmative.

"Does anyone think you're too risky with young people?" Rod looked up and said.

"Anyone?" Facing Rod's gaze, Lin Sen seemed to be smiling.

"Well, well, I think so too." Rhodes was a little embarrassed, but he still spoke his mind frankly.

In fact, it is not anyone, but almost all of them, who think that Malaga's current recruitment ideas are too idealistic, you know, they will no longer play in the second division in the new season, but the first division. If the second division is still a proving ground, then the first division is a killing field, the two are almost two different concepts, at this time, Malaga also intends to use young people to fight the world, undoubtedly too naïve.

"Before I answer the question, let me ask you a question, what do you think of Cork's table last season?" Lin Sen asked with a smile.

Cork?

Rods froze for a moment, but soon his mind was filled with a professional reaction to the youngster's rating of 6.2 who broke Atletico's record for the youngest appearance in Atletico Madrid's history last season. In the few games that Linson has played in charge of Atletico, Linsen has promoted three youngsters, including Koke, the youngest Koke has the lowest rating, the highest is Camacho with an average score of 7.1, and even De Gea has 6.5 points.

However, the reason why Koke's rating is so low is that the own goal in that game against Laco was a big hindrance, and in that game, Koke was rated as the worst in the game, scoring only 4 points, that is, if it wasn't for that game, Koke actually averaged nearly 7 points in other games.

Although there are not many games, it is definitely not a bad score.

Seeing Rod's expression, Lin Sen knew that Rhodes understood what he meant.

"I don't know what kind of adventure they are referring to. If they're worried that young people are too young to fit the game, I don't deny the idea of taking risks, but La Liga has never been a physical, and we all have to admit that young people are stronger now than they used to be. If they're worried about young people affecting the team's results, then I would say I'm willing to take that risk because I believe in their ability and Malaga needs to take it because Malaga has just returned to La Liga. People should pay more attention to what they can do rather than what they can't. Age is just a number, and as long as it is used properly, it should not become a shackle. ”

Rod nodded, in today's major European leagues, La Liga is one of the leagues with relatively low physical confrontation, and it is based on this atmosphere that a large number of organizational backs have been created. Lin Sen's statement may still be too subjective and one-sided, but it is not unfounded, at least, it is already an answer.

"Well, you convinced me. However, that didn't convince the people out there. Rod said with a wry smile.

"Of course. Convince them that it must be on the field. ”

"So, in the new season of Malaga, will it be a Young Guard? I'm curious what the goals will be for Malaga in the new season? ”

"European Arena." Lin Sen's voice was flat, but it made Rod's eyes widen instantly.

"Europe?"

Just rely on this group of main players of the second division to mix and match a group of young people?

Lin Sen persuaded him that he was right, but if he wanted to go against the sky in the first season with this group of young people, then Rod would not believe it if he was killed, La Liga is a hotbed of talented teenagers, and it must be guaranteed that geniuses count, who can guarantee that these young people in Malaga are all geniuses?

"You agree with that goal?" Rod subconsciously thought that this was the goal that Malaga had set for Linson.

"This is what I proposed."

Why???

As soon as he heard Lin Sen's words, Rod couldn't help but look at the young coach in front of him with another eye, he was very optimistic about Lin Sen, but even he didn't understand why Lin Sen dared to set his goals so high.

－－－－－－－－－－

It's not just Rhodes who wants to know why, Tapia also wants to know what Lin Sen is just.

After Muniz left Málaga, he originally thought that his position as manager was already secure, but he did not expect to kill a so-called former Atletico Madrid manager halfway through. But that's not a problem, he's up and down, and since he can accept that he can return to the youth team of the same team as head coach after being ousted from the first team, he can accept a position that has not really come to him and someone else, so he accepted the club's decision to make him an assistant coach.

However, not minding obviously does not mean that you fully agree.

Although Malaga has just officially announced the signing of Linsen, Tapia knows that as early as the end of May, Linsen actually reached an agreement with Malaga, and Malaga's transfer work should have started at that time, which means that until today, in less than half a month, Malaga has introduced nine players, and it can almost be said that it has basically completed the replacement of the squad for next season. With the coaching staff on vacation, such an efficient recruitment work, if there is no involvement of the head coach, who loves to believe in it, Tapia does not believe it anyway.

Tapia is positive about Malaga's efficiency, fans always like to have Mr. X on the last day of the transfer window, but for any coach it is not a good thing. Because completing the squad change as early as possible means that the team can prepare for next season as soon as possible, which is rare for a team that has just been promoted. However, Tapia can't help but question the quality of Malaga's signings.

It's no surprise that Málaga's signings have been more focused on the second tier, but to Tapia's surprise, Málaga's eyes are not high, but they are far away. Of the nine new signings, only half of them are Spaniards, with the exception of Wellington, which is rare in a promoted polo team in Spain, let alone three of them are free of charge.

Tapia doesn't think it's a credit to the scouts, not to belittle the scouts of Malaga, but simply out of scope. Every time Malaga announces a signing, Tapia immediately searches for relevant information, but apart from a few Spanish signings, whether it's Reus or Lewandowski, Tapia gets very simple information, as simple as a few general seasons.

Tapia originally thought that many of them might be added to the second-tier team, but Aguilar told him that all the reinforcements were first-team reinforcements, and several of them were even brought in by the standard of the main team.

As a result, Tapia decided to end her vacation early.
