On July 1, for the head coaches of European giants, this is like the first day of the Lunar New Year for domestic children, and there will be all kinds of red envelopes, big or small. For the first-level head coaches of the powerhouse, their role has become that of parents, constantly giving red envelopes, but as long as they have children, they have to take them back. The most unfortunate is the weak brigade level, for them, this day is not the first day of the new year, it is purely a year's pass, the situation is slightly better, only need to consider how this year should be lived, the saddest urging, is nothing more than a debt owed, there is no money to repay the debt, naturally it is inevitable to smash the pot and sell iron.

At this time, naturally a few families are happy and a few are sad.

Malaga is also poor and can't open the pot, but as a promoted horse, he has finally changed from a poor peasant to a tenant, Lin Sen tried his best to make careful calculations and Livermore jumped up and down, barely even owed eleven dishes on credit to pass the New Year, and on the first day of the New Year, he notified some friends and set off firecrackers, so he greeted the New Year, and the red envelopes could not be counted on anyway.

As for the local tyrant at the head of the village, Real Madrid began to set up a stage to sing the summer idol bubble drama with Cristiano Ronaldo as the protagonist, and the wealthy gentleman Barcelona at the end of the village began to recruit troops to prepare to defeat the local tyrant, Lin Sen is not interested anyway, not only does this have nothing to do with Malaga's half a dime, but also because he knows the ending, Real Madrid's stage has been set up for a summer, and the big stars he wants to invite are not invited, but his own pillar has been hooked up by Manchester City, and Barcelona will soon become a giant......

What Lin Sen is more concerned about next is the parent-teacher meeting in a few days: the return of the coaching staff.

It is undoubtedly appropriate to describe Malaga's coaching team, although it is small.

With the addition of head coach Lin Sen, including scouts and team doctors, the entire coaching team has a full 18 members, and compared to the streamlined management of Malaga, Málaga's coaching team is undoubtedly very complete, with a head coach, assistant coaches, three first-team coaches, two physical coaches, two goalkeeper coaches, two youth coaches, four team doctors and three scouts.

Nominally, the entire coaching staff is under the command of the head coach, but in reality, only half of the members are actually directly under Lin Sen. Because of the academy coaches, team doctors and scouts, these people are either not involved in the day-to-day work of the first team, or they all have their own heads, for example, the head of the team doctor is Juan Carlos, and the head of scouting is the head scout Sebastián Moreno.

In this regard, Lin Sen is not surprised, Spanish clubs have always had their own youth training traditions, and youth coaches naturally do not need to be under their own management, as for the model of team doctors and scouts, these Lin Sen was already very clear when he was in Atletico Madrid, if he had something in this regard, he only needed to communicate directly with the person in charge.

To Linsen's surprise, the age of his coaching staff is unexpectedly young, assistant coach Tapia is the oldest person in the entire coaching staff, 48 years old, the other members are almost between 30 and 40 years old, and Sarguero, who is in charge of youth training, is even in his twenties, which is younger than Linsen's age. For Lin Sen, this was an unexpected surprise. Because whether Lin Sen wants to admit it or not, the factor of age is counterproductive for him to win the trust of others. But now, he doesn't have to worry about others thinking he's too young, even though he's still one of the youngest on the coaching staff.

A few days later, accompanied by the team leader Balkase, Lin Sen officially met with everyone in the club's living room, and then there was nothing unusual about his self-introduction, when he shook hands with Lin Sen, all of them were smiling, Lin Sen was not stingy with his smile, lowered his posture and nodded his head to greet, during this period, Lin Sen did not use his special ability to observe the color on the top of their heads, but what made him a little disappointed was that he did not find any surprises, almost all of them were very peaceful, Occasionally, a few colored ones are also in the normal category.

After a harmonious meeting, Linson left behind the personnel who needed to be involved in the team's pre-season training plan, and then he stepped aside in the surprised eyes of the other coaches and gave up his place to Tapia.

Ignoring the other people's gazes, Tapia sent out a copy of the materials that had already been prepared to each of them before he began to speak.

"I just sent it out, a draft of the team's pre-season training plan, which I have discussed with our head coach, so you can take a look at it, and if there is no problem, then prepare according to the plan."

"There is also a detailed information of the current team members, I believe everyone knows that this season's team lineup has been updated relatively large, we will have a lot ......of new players, their individual training plans need to be formulated by us, this information needs to be familiar to everyone, so that the players can be targeted when they return."

"As always, I hope that your work report will be handed over to me earlier this year, preferably within this week."

……

Watching Tapia explain the instructions one by one, while the other coaches nodded frequently, Lin Sen, who had been observing the changes in their feelings with his eyes on the side, knew that his hard work as an expert and a god a while ago was not in vain, whether Tapia was overused by himself I don't know, but with him as an assistant coach, at least in terms of training, it should be promising to be a shopkeeper.

When Tapia finished explaining everything, when the others saw that Lin Sen finally stood back in his original position, almost everyone thought that they could guess what Lin Sen said, which was nothing more than hoping that everyone would work together, but they didn't think that Lin Sen only said two words lightly.

Meeting.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

The living room suddenly emptied.

Tapia smiled bitterly, he chattered like an old butler for a long time, Lin Sen was good, with a wave of his hand, he came directly to the end of the meeting, if he hadn't communicated with Lin Sen in person before, he couldn't believe that he actually lost to Lin Sen in the battle for the head coach, this is really the genius coach he imagined? Doesn't he know that this is the time to boost morale and buy people's hearts?

"Let's go......" Ignoring Tapia's expression, Lin Sen urged him, "Eat, eat." ”

"You wouldn't be in a hurry to break up because you were hungry, would you?" Tapia said angrily, a little regretful that he went to Lin Sen's side to watch the game that day, and inexplicably lost a bet, and now he still invites Lin Sen to dinner.

"How do you know?!"

Lin Sen's answer made Tapia almost hit his head against the wall, but Lin Sen himself smiled and went out first.

In fact, Lin Sen didn't think about what he should say when he met today, how could he not want to? You know, to be exact, the head coach of Malaga is his first official job as a coach, and he was only a temporary worker at Atletico Madrid. Therefore, from the simplest first meeting, please give more advice, to the long and demagogic passionate speech, Lin Sen even watched some famous speeches, trying to make himself as angry as possible as soon as he appeared.

It's just that the wish is good, and when he really stood here, seeing Tapia's meticulous arrangement, seeing the meticulous records of other coaches, he suddenly decided to cherish the words, because he realized that this is a professional team, this is a group of professionals, and what they need is not some exciting brainwashing, but something more tangible, like what Tapia showed before. Lin Sen didn't think that Tapia was very good at stirring people's hearts, but it could be seen that everyone maintained respect for him, and this respect was perhaps not entirely a recognition of him as a person, but more of a trust in his abilities.

There is no evidence, Lin Sen wants to win their respect, there is only one thing, and that is the results.

The new season hasn't started yet, and there's still a lot of time. First impressions are important, but it's not a one-shot deal, and meetings are different from interviews, and whether they want to or not, Linson will be the head coach for the new season. He is not worried about a mere meeting that makes people think that he is being dominated by Tapia, because this worry is completely unnecessary, and the easiest way for a coach to have control over the team is to see if the team plays according to his tactical style. Every coach's tactical philosophy is different, and when everyone reads the training plan, it is natural to draw conclusions.

Came to the same place, ordered the same dish, and ate and chatted like last time, but this time, it was Tapia who paid the bill.

"By the way, when will the schedule for the new season be announced?" While eating, Lin Sen asked.

"It should be soon, it is usually announced in mid-July, last season it was announced in early July, and this year because of the European Cup, it may be a few days late." Tapia took a sip and added, "Actually, you don't need to care too much about the schedule. ”

"I'm not concerned about the schedule, it's about when it's announced."

"That's just as well. Once you know the schedule, you can adjust your training plan accordingly to suit your opponents. Tapia nodded.

"Why don't we bet on who our first opponent of the new season will be?" Suddenly, Lin Sen said with a grin.

"No!"

Upon hearing the prediction, Tapia almost jumped up, and chose to refuse without thinking about it.

"Don't do that, I'll let you guess first."

"Never." Tapia was resolute, but soon, he couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked, "You really can even predict the schedule?" ”

"How is that possible?" Lin Sen shook his head.

"And you're still betting with me?"

"What do you think bets are?" Lin Sen gave Tapia a strange look.

“……”

Looking at Lin Sen's expression on his face, Tapia desperately suppressed the urge to vomit blood again.

What do you call a bet? Did you bet that?!
