Chapter 55: The Perfect Choice
Lin Sen, who has already said goodbye to Manchester City fans once, is destined to leave quietly this time. β₯ β₯ β₯ Xiaoβ₯ said that an announcement that quietly appeared on Manchester City's official website was the last trace of Lin Sen's presence at Manchester City.
Although it is low-key enough, for the Ingla media, which has been waiting for the official news of Manchester City for a long time, this inconspicuous news has quickly become the focus of their hype. After Manchester City completely withdrew from the league title race, almost every day was concerned about when Manchester City would announce the departure of Pellegrini, and after the scandal between Real Madrid and Linson, the focus of attention immediately became Linsen and Pellegrini, which one's departure will be the first to be announced.
"Lin is in charge of Real Madrid? Countdown! β
After Manchester City announced Linsen's departure, topics such as these quickly filled the headlines of most of the media in England, and it was clear that in their opinion, Linsen's departure had cleared all the obstacles for him to go to Real Madrid, in other words, Linsen's arrival at Real Madrid was already a sure thing. Moreover, it is not only the media who thinks so, there is another person who also thinks so, and this person is Mubarak, who has just made a last-ditch effort in the stands.
Emotionally speaking, Mubarak also does not want Linsen to go to Madrid, as for why there is no need to repeat, but from a practical point of view, in addition to the fragile emotional factor, he really can't find a reason for Linsen to say no, in the final analysis, the coach is different from the player, the player club can stay, but if the coach wants to go, the club is not so much unable to stop, but the impact of the strong block on himself is greater, because the player is just a player in the final analysis, but the head coach will affect a team. That's why soap operas about player transfers can sometimes last for several seasons, but managers rarely appear.
What's more, now Linson's status at Manchester City is not a manager at all.
After the match against Southampton, Mubarak invited Linson to his office for a "drink" and saw him off. But when he arrived at the office and asked Lin Sen what he planned to do next, Mubarak asked the question very cryptically.
Lin Sen thought about it for a while, and he didn't deliberately hide it, but because Real Madrid hadn't directly contacted him after all, he just talked about the current situation. Of course, for Mubarak, this is enough for him to make a lot of judgments.
"In that case, Real Madrid are really going to let you go to Madrid." Mubarak said thoughtfully.
Lin Sen shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal.
"Lin. As a friend, can I ask you a question? Mubarak thought for a moment, and then suddenly said,
"Of course." Lin Sen nodded.
"What do you think of Carlo Ancelotti?"
As soon as Mubarak said this, Linsen immediately understood what Mubarak wanted to do, and it is not difficult to guess that Real Madrid is interested in Linsen, and of course Manchester City can also be interested in Ancelotti. And think about it, for Manchester City. It's a perfect choice, both purely on a technical and emotional level.
"He's a master." Lin Sen smiled, but his tone was affirmative.
It's not easy for a manager to lead a team to the top of Europe, and it's not easy for a manager to lead different teams to the top of Europe. Ancelotti, who truly created an era, is fully worthy of the word master.
"So, what do you think if he comes to coach the team?" Sure enough, Mubarak further said.
"Perfect." Lin Sen's answer did not hesitate.
Real Madrid does not cherish. It doesn't mean that Ancelotti isn't precious. In my memory, Real Madrid after Ancelotti left was far from achieving the desired change of coach. Ancelotti, who was once praised as a tactical chameleon by Italian tactician Sacchi. One of the recognized abilities is to be good at teaching students according to their aptitude, otherwise, he would not have led Real Madrid to the top of Europe in his first season.
Is Carlo Ancelotti a good fit for Manchester City?
Of course! And, as Lin Sen said, it's perfect! ββ
Mubarak "retaliated" his eyes on Madrid, and what he didn't know was that just as he was talking to Linson, there was also a conversation in Madrid, the object, one was Florentino, and the other, all Real Madrid fans are also familiar with it, that is the elegant Frenchman.
Zinedine Zidane.
Zidane, who once served as Florentino's personal adviser after Florentino's return to Real Madrid, has been rumored to enter the coaching staff when Mourinho was still in Real Madrid, and this rumor has also become a reality after Ancelotti went to Real Madrid.
After Zidane became the coach of Real Madrid's B team, many Spanish media made it clear that Real Madrid was training a preparatory coach for himself, and Zidane himself did not hide his dream of becoming the head coach of Real Madrid one day in the future. Of course, Florentino knew Zidane's idea, otherwise Zidane, even if he was the world footballer in the past, would not have suddenly become the head coach of Real Madrid's B team without any coaching experience.
It's always good to have dreams, or to have ambitions.
Although he is a sworn enemy with Barcelona, Florentino also hopes that one day in the future, Real Madrid's coach will be the same as his sworn enemy, sitting on his own cultivated "own people".
Only now, unless Florentino is willing to take a very, very big risk, this hope of his is destined to be postponed. In the season that has just ended, Zinedine Zidane, who used to be elegant on the pitch, did not show the same talent on the sidelines, and Real Madrid B finished fifth in Group 2 of La C, missing out on the promotion play-offs.
What will Florentino say to Zidane today?
Let him succeed Carlo Ancelotti?
No.
Neither Zidane nor Florentino thought it was the right time.
"I still want you to trust Carlo, Mr. President." Zidane frowned, but he still held back his insistence on the decision that Florentino had already made.
"I know you have a good relationship with Carlo, Zizu." Florentino also frowned, "But that's not what we're supposed to be talking about today." β
Zidane fell silent for a moment.
Florentino's brow made him finally realize that there was not much room for things to turn around. As Florentino said, his relationship with Ancelotti is indeed good, the two did not just work together last season, in Zidane's playing days, when he worked with Ancelotti at Juventus for two seasons, it can be said that whether as a player or pig's foot, Ancelotti has helped Zidane a lot, so it is not an exaggeration to say that Ancelotti is Zidane's mentor.
Of course, the reason why Zidane will say good things about Ancelotti is not just because of the relationship, but because he really thinks that Real Madrid should not change the manager.
From players to staff to coaches, while Zidane is not Spaniard, not many know everything about this club better than him. As the world thinks, Real Madrid's managerial position is the most difficult position in the world, and it is exaggerated to say that it is even more difficult than being the prime minister of Spain. The Spanish prime minister will not die if he does not die, at least during his term of office, he does not need to worry about being ousted, but as the head coach of Real Madrid, sometimes whether you do it or not, you have to die.
It's the richest club in the world, but it's also the toughest top in the world, it's one of the biggest and best stadiums in the world, it's got the most demanding fans in the world, it's got the best stars in the world, but it's also the hardest dressing room in the world to manage.
Here, you must not only be able to win, but also be beautiful, not only full of personal charm, but also know how to be sophisticated......
'I don't think anyone can do better than Carlo because the team has been doing a poor job this season. Zidane said, "Even if that person is Lin. β
Yes, that's what Florentino wants to talk to him about today.
Lin Sen.
Florentino wanted to hear Zidane's view of Linsen's tenure at Real Madrid on a technical and tactical level.
"Is this what you think of Lin? Qi Zu. Although Zidane's words still sound like a continuation of the insistence just now, Florentino is serious.
Zidane was a little helpless, and after a moment of silence, he spoke again, "Don't you think Lin is too similar to a person?" β
"You mean Jose?" Florentino said.
Zidane nodded.
"It's very similar." Florentino nodded, "But so what?" β
So what?
Hearing Florentino's words, Zidane wanted to say that in that case, why did you let Mourinho go, and now you want to hire a coach who is very similar to Mourinho? But he wisely remained silent, knowing that there must be a second half of Florentino's words.
Really.
"No two people are absolutely alike, Qi Zu, just as no two leaves in this world are absolutely the same. In my opinion, if Jose's departure is not a crime of war, then Lin's arrival would be a perfect choice. Also, don't forget Lin's identity, I'm talking about his identity off the field. β
Off-the-counter identity?
Zidane was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood.
Isn't it royal?
Thinking of this, Zida sighed in his heart, in this way, at least for Real Madrid, it is really the perfect choice-
May 30, busy Madrid airport.
Many reporters with long guns and short guns were waiting at the airport early, all eyes staring at the exit of the passage.
After a long time, when an Oriental wearing sunglasses walked out of the passage alone, before he could take off his sunglasses, the crowd that had already engraved his appearance in his mind and had been waiting for a long time suddenly rushed up......
