Chapter 19: Genius

"You don't have a third phase, do you?" When he said this, Livermore had meant to speak in a joking tone.

Unexpectedly, Lin Sen actually nodded, which made Livermore's eyes almost darken, but fortunately, there were two more words behind Lin Sen: Originally.

Originally, there were.

"I remember that at that time, your attitude towards transfer work was to focus on stability, supplemented by tinkering?" Livermore shook his head angrily, and then said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Do you count this as a breach of contract?" If I had known that you were so diligent in making harassing calls, I should have fought for my position as sports manager. ”

"It's late." Lin Sen didn't care, and laughed, "You don't look at the Malaga squad at that time, as for the rest of the players, only Bach and Balista are more important departures, but you also know that there is no way to do it." Most of the others stayed. Isn't that stable? ”

"It's stable, but you're too good at tinkering." With that, a helpless Livermore walked to the drinking area to the side and asked, "Coffee?" ”

Lin Sen nodded.

Soon, Livermore came over with two cups of coffee and handed one to Linson, who took a sip and said, "Instant? ”

"Are you used to drinking?" Livermore smiled.

"No, it's not that much." Lin Sen shook his head and smiled and took a sip, this is not polite, compared to coffee, Lin Sen actually prefers tea, but in foreign countries, coffee is still the mainstream, so although Lin Sen has his own coffee machine, he is not so picky about coffee, but the taste of freshly ground coffee and instant coffee is still known as soon as you drink it.

"That's good, but you don't have a choice." Livermore sat down and said, "Just like Malaga, now you can only drink instant coffee." ”

"Instant coffee has the benefits of instant coffee." Lin Sen still had a smile on his face, and he didn't seem to hear the deep meaning of Livermore's words, and said lightly.

"Indeed." Livermore nodded, then smiled, "However, you have a coffee machine now, and it's up to you whether the coffee tastes good this time." ”

"Don't worry." Lin Sen took a sip of coffee and said lightly, but his tone was extremely confident.

"Actually, I've always been curious." Livermore glanced at Linson, "What exactly are your criteria for selecting coffee beans?" ”

"It's delicious." Lin Sen is still two words.

Livermore shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Then how do I know if it's good or not." ”

"It's simpler. If you drink it, you will know. Lin Sen shook the coffee in his cup and said calmly, "Ruak coffee is one of the most expensive coffees in the world, can you imagine that it is extracted from cat feces?" ”

"Poof......

Livermore had just taken a sip of coffee when he squirted out and couldn't laugh or cry.

Lin Sen, on the other hand, calmly drank the coffee in the cup.

-----------------

The next day, Linson received news from Livermore that Bonucci had agreed to come to Málaga, and the official announcement of the transfer entered the countdown; And Arezzo finally gave a reply, they accepted Livermore's second option, that is, 1.5 million plus 30% of the next transfer fee, it is said that they also rejected the Serie A team's **1 million euros to buy half of the ownership of La Nocchia, and then, Malaga will negotiate a personal contract with La Nocchia.

If one qiē shun lì, Lin Sen's second phase of transfer work will be declared complete, although the way is different, but the six transfer goals can basically be determined to be all smooth. The third phase, which almost scared Livermore, was originally a top priority, became less urgent because of Gabi's arrival, and Linson's final job for Livermore was just to wait and see how the transfer market would change next, and if possible, bring in one or two more midfielders on loan.

At the same time, the European Championship entered the first stage, and the four teams that reached the semi-finals decided the final team in two life-and-death matches: Germany and Spain. The German Chariots defeated Turkey, arguably the toughest team of the tournament, 3-2 in the Battle of the Wills, winning the game in the 90th minute thanks to Lahm's goal. Spain, on the other hand, repeated the scene of the group stage, beating Russia 3-0.

Since then, one of the two items that Lin Sen bet on the top scorer still maintains the hope of winning the bid, the top four has made Lin Sen instantly become a millionaire, after paying taxes, Lin Sen only earned more than five million in the top four, if Villa's top scorer has no accidents, after the final, he will also have more than one million income.

I have to say that after opening the plug-in, the speed of money coming is a little unreal, but this is also why Lin Sen doesn't care too much about Malaga's salary, but the instant bulging of his pocket has not brought much change to Lin Sen's life, for Lin Sen, his family is not short of money, on the contrary, more money is not necessarily a good thing for the family, he does not have many friends, and there is no shortage of money, as for himself a bachelor, he is not short of money, so Lin Sen does not dare to say that money is just a number for him. But the fact is that now he really has no shortage of money to spend.

Three days later, it was the final day of the European Championship.

Lin Sen, who had been immersed in the game video before, was an otaku almost all of the time, except for taking time to visit the old couple of Cruz during the period, but this time, he still planned to take time out to watch this game, purely as a fan, and the right to relax. To his surprise, the old man Tapia actually came to join in the fun, of course, inevitably carrying a dozen beers in his hand, and a large bag of melon seeds that Lin Sen thought was purely a scourge.

Lin Sen, who was originally rolling all over the ground and no one cared about it, had to tidy up the room, and finally sorted out a place to watch the game, Tapia, who had seen it for a long time, didn't care, and just found an open space and sat down, and the game had already begun.

"Which team are favored?" As soon as Tapia sat down, she grabbed a large handful of melon seeds and opened them.

"Spain." Lin Sen opened two beers, sat down too, handed it to him, and replied casually.

"Like the Spanish team?"

"No, I don't have a favorite team."

"What about the Chinese team?"

"I'll support it, but I can't say I like it."

"You Chinese are really incomprehensible."

"Football is inherently confusing. Look at the game, look at the ball, the German team is going to score......"

“…… Wasn't the ball still in the German half? ”

"Oh, I read it wrong. I'm sorry, I've watched a lot of videos lately, and I'm a little dizzy......"

“……”

The two looked at the ball with or without a match, chatting, after withstanding the fierce offensive of the German team in the opening stage, the Spanish team gradually grasped the initiative back in the midfield, and the war spread more to the German team's half, Tapia looked more and more energetic, his eyes seemed to be shining, and Lin Sen, who noticed it, smiled in his heart, fans, sure enough, regardless of profession or age.

Thinking of this, Lin Sen suddenly became a little envious of Tapia.

"Rest assured, Spain will definitely score in the first half."

In the middle of the game, Ramos crossed at a 45-degree angle, Torres pressed Mertesacker with a header, the ball smashed on the low end of the post and popped up, Tapia slapped his hands fiercely, sighing pity, Linsen glanced at the game time and said.

"Is that your prediction?" Tapia turned his head and smiled, obviously, Lin Sen's words reminded him of Lin Sen's previous prediction for the semifinals of the European Cup, although he regretted a little bit that he didn't make some extra money according to Lin Sen's plan, but as Lin Sen thought, he didn't think that Lin Sen's prediction was just a chance guess.

"You say yes, yes." Lin Sen shrugged his shoulders.

"Predict who will score a goal?" Tapia said again tentatively.

"Torres. Xavi assists. ”

I never thought that Lin Sen would really come with his mouth open, and by the way, he also came with an assister.

"Twenty euros bet, you guessed wrong!" Tapia glared, "Do you dare?" ”

"Get the money out first." Lin Sen stretched out his hand directly.

"You're so sure you can guess?"

Lin Sen smiled and did not answer.

Ten minutes later, facts speak louder than words.

When Lehmann made a reckless choice to attack in the face of Xavi's through pass, and the famously steady Rahm was forced to overtake by Torres behind him, Tapia's eyes almost popped out, and after a few moments, he looked at Lin Sen as if he had seen a ghost.

Luck? It must be luck! Otherwise, how should this be explained?

Watching Lin Sen drink beer gracefully, Tapia once again found an explanation for herself.

As a head coach, Tapia hates the idea that football is a game, but sometimes he has to admit that football is a very numerical sport. The state of the player can be used to draw the most intuitive conclusion from the number of goals, assists, passes, and running distance, while the state of the team can also be reflected by the number of pass success rates, shots on goal, possession rate, etc. So, since the game can be counted, it means that the game can also make predictions, which is as simple as knowing that two is greater than one, and then coming to the conclusion that two plus two is definitely greater than one plus one.

But are predictions like football matches really accurate? Tapia doesn't believe it anyway, because he's a manager, and he knows that in football, one plus one doesn't necessarily equal two, so two doesn't necessarily have to be greater than one. But now, what is Linsen's prediction criteria? He's a football coach, right?

Seeing that Tapia kept looking at himself, Lin Sen finally couldn't pretend anymore, and he tried to say, "If I say it's just a coincidence, do you believe it or not?" ”

Tapia shook her head decisively.

"If I say that this is a judgment based on the shape of the field, do you believe it or not?"

Tapia thought for a moment, but shook her head.

"Then if I say that I can predict the prophet, you should believe it, right?"

"Poof......

Tapia almost vomited a liter of blood.

"Alright then, I'm a genius coach!"

Tapia still wanted to vomit blood, but this time, his heart suddenly froze.

This...... Seem...... Makes sense?!
