Lin Sen didn't say yes to Ariel in the end, nor did he say no to her.

After making sure that Ariel wasn't joking, he gave Ariel a reply similar to the one he had given to Mendes: We'll talk about it then.

Because, Lin Sen never promised others what he might not be able to do.

The reason why he was able to give Dina a promise was first because he could do it. Because Dina and Ariel are fundamentally different things, Dina is a strength and conditioning coach, and a strength and conditioning coach is a position that any professional team must have. Ariel works as a counselor, but it is not a necessary position for a professional team. The second reason is that Dina is one of the pieces of the puzzle that will build his own coaching team in the future. In Lin Sen's mind, not to mention a club, but to talk about an individual coaching team, in addition to himself, at least three people are needed: a physical coach, a technical coach and a goalkeeper coach.

It's not good to have too many people in a qualified coaching team, because when you join a team, you can't expect the new owner to fire all the original coaches, and even if you can, it will inevitably affect the stability of the team, and it will not help the new head coach to carry out his work at all. Of course, too few people can't do it, just like Linsen, who just joined Malaga in the summer, he had to go to great lengths to "buy" Tapia first, because even if he can do everything, the time is fixed, and time, for any new manager, is precious.

From the beginning of the Christmas holiday to the present, Lin Sen still maintains the same routine as usual, during which Ariel has come to the door a few times, this girl seems to be really interested in becoming a sports psychological counselor, and asked Lin Sen for a lot of football-related information books, Lin Sen no longer persuaded her, and directly gave her a long list of titles, asking her to find them by herself.

As for the La Liga chairman's summit that attracted the attention of the whole of Spain, Lin Sen didn't pay attention to it at all, not only because he knew that this so-called summit was still thunderous and rainy in the end, but also because whether the tax rate was changed or not had nothing to do with him at all. With Linsen's current annual salary, whether it is the new tax rate or the old tax rate, it is the same for him.

Compared with this, a phone call in the morning made him more concerned, this call came from China, and it was his grandfather who called him personally, so that he could take time to return to China.

If it was in the past, with grandpa's temper, it would be absolutely impossible to use a soothing word like "take time", and most of it would not be the old man who called in person, but now that there is such a change, Lin Sen knows that most of it was his "direct advice" at that time that played a role. Thinking that most of this year's Spring Festival is not going back, Lin Sen has looked at the calendar, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve is just in time for the La Liga match day, Lin Sen finally decided to take advantage of this time to return to China.

After making up his mind, he went out to buy some Malaga's specialties and booked his ticket for the afternoon. The next day, Lin Sen appeared at Tiannan Airport.

Unlike last time, this time Lin Sen was recognized as soon as he walked out of the airport, although it was not a sensation, but it had to delay some time to take a group photo and sign, fortunately, someone took the car this time, and Lin Sen did not need to stop the taxi himself, Uncle Dong, who had already gotten the news, was waiting at the airport early.

After returning to Linzhuang, Lin Sen went to see his grandmother as usual, and the old lady who saw her grandson was happy, and kept asking if she could stay for a few more days, and when Lin Sen replied that she could stay until after New Year's Day, the old lady even said that it was good, saying that when the rest of the family came back, the whole family would get together together.

Because his grandfather went out and didn't return, Lin Sen didn't wake up until dinner, and after eating the meal reserved by Aunt Fang, Lin Sen sorted out his mind and came to his grandfather's study.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Unlike last time, the old man was obviously waiting for Lin Sen this time, and when Lin Sen entered, he closed the book he was reading, although his face was still Yan Sù's expression, but his eyebrows had eased a lot.

"I'm retiring."

The first words that the old man said made Lin Sen unable to keep calm in his heart.

"Your story is good."

This is the second sentence, or rather, a supplement to the first.

After saying these two sentences, the old man fell silent, and only looked at Lin Sen with deep eyes, as if waiting for him to continue the topic.

Lin Sen naturally knew what his grandfather was waiting for, half a year was enough to verify many things, even if it was a big doubt, in the face of the facts, it would have long since disappeared, and Lin Sen had long thought of it that his grandfather made a decision that was different from what he remembered, but he didn't expect that his grandfather's decision would be so decisive, and it could even be said to be decisive.

The old man would rather not bend, the reason why Lin Sen used the old tree to describe his grandfather is not for nothing, Lin Sen knows this better than anyone else, from this aspect, Lin Sen should have thought that the old man would deal with it in such a way, but he chose to avoid it selectively in his heart.

No matter how accurate Lin Sen's "prediction" is, it still can't change the fact that a tree is a tree.

To move a tree is to die.

The old man is destined not to give way, so instead of letting others cut it down at that time, it is better to wither and make the last contribution to the flowers and plants under the tree that are destined to no longer be able to shelter from the wind and rain.

"Grandpa, if your grandson says that he came back from ten years later, do you believe it?" After the silence, Lin Sen suddenly spoke in surprise.

The old man's face seemed to change slightly when he heard this, but soon, he calmed down from the shock, and then asked a seemingly irrelevant question: "Ten years later, how is your grandmother?" ”

"Just like you." Lin Sen thought for a moment and replied.

Hearing Lin Sen's answer, the old man's expression seemed to dim suddenly.

Like me...... Become another old tree? This is indeed her nature. The old man sighed in his heart.

"Who else did you say this?" After a long time, the old man asked.

"Never." Lin Sen told the truth, this has always been the biggest secret in his heart, and it is also a secret that no one will believe, he thought that this secret would be buried in his heart forever, but today facing his grandfather, he said it by mistake.

"Good. Don't talk about it later. The old man nodded.

"You believe it?" Lin Sen raised his head and looked at the old man.

"I don't believe your words, but I believe in my grandson." The old man smiled and said, Yan Sù's expression seemed to disintegrate in an instant, and a relaxed expression called kindness quickly took over the face that seemed to have been stretched for a lifetime.

At that moment, Lin Sen only felt that an indescribable love filled his heart, making him almost cry.

"I'm old, and I plan to accompany your grandmother to see everywhere in the future, at home, you don't have to worry." Looking at Lin Sen, who lowered his head instantly, the old man smiled with relief.

"Grandma won't necessarily go with you." Taking a deep breath, Lin Sen had the audacity to joke.

"Haha." The old man paused for a moment, and then laughed, "Then you have to help me persuade your grandmother, your grandmother hurts you the most." ”

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

On the last day of 08, Lin Sen saw his most relatives since childhood, the eldest uncle, the second uncle, two aunts, and a large number of cousins, sisters-in-law, and brothers-in-law......

The uncle's personality is the most similar to that of his grandfather, when he saw Lin Sen, Yan Sù's expression was full of affinity, and the second uncle had an easy-going personality. As for those cousins, Lin Sen was undoubtedly impressed by his cousin Lin Lei, because he was a fan......

Lin Sen's parents were still unable to return to China, and according to his grandfather, his father, who had been in South America for five years, would soon be transferred back to Europe, which was the most critical and busiest time.

Lin Sen thought that this was already everyone who ate "big pot rice" at night, but in the evening, there were two more people, one was an old man who was about the same age as his grandfather, he only knew his surname Shi, and he stared at Lin Sen as soon as he met, and Lin Sen was a little hairy. The other is a woman of the same age as Lin Sen, whose identity is Shi Lao's granddaughter, whose name is Shi Shan.

As soon as he heard this name, Lin Sen laughed a little in his heart at that time: Shi Shan? Be scattered? How long?

It seemed that he was aware of the almost imperceptible change in Lin Sen's expression after hearing his name, and only showed a smile when he first saw his grandfather, and then turned into an iceberg beauty, Shi Shan, who immediately cut Lin Sen with a knife-like gaze, which made Lin Sen's heart shiver.

In the evening, Lin Sen ate the most uncomfortable dinner in his life, and he felt like sitting on pins and needles.

After the meal, the eldest sister Lin Xiang came over and asked Lin Sen with a smile how he felt, and Lin Sen smiled bitterly and replied honestly that he couldn't stand it.

In fact, Lin Sen has long been aware of the unusualness of this meal, grandma has been asking if he can stay for a few days since he just came back, and the topic of grandpa seems to be too focused on himself when he talks to Shi Lao, plus the appearance of Shi Shan, who is completely unrelated, in fact, the purpose of this ostensibly "reunion dinner" is already obvious: this is a blind date for himself.

In fact, this is not a strange thing, the Spring Festival has long become a blind date festival in China, and Lin Sen, who has been abroad for a long time, will not come back for the Spring Festival, and now has become the best time. Now the whole family is Lin Sen who is not married, and he is nearly thirty years old, and Lin Sen's parents have a free-range attitude towards him, in this case, it is normal for the old man who has regained confidence in Lin Sen in his heart and the old lady who has been talking about Lin Sen's marriage problem for a long time to arrange a blind date for Lin Sen.

However, the second elder still took into account Lin Sen's own feelings after all, and did not say it explicitly, thinking that he had the idea of seeing if the two sides could look at each other, but now it seems that ......

When the eldest sister heard Lin Sen's answer, she immediately laughed and scolded: Stinky boy, do you know how many people want to chase that girl and are not qualified to chase her? You still can't stand it?

Lin Sen just shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he didn't expect that at this time, that Shi Shan came over, and when he saw Shi Shan coming over, Lin Xiang smiled and said hello, so he gave Lin Sen a look and left Lin Sen by himself.

"I know you, I read a report about you on CCTV some time ago, you are a football coach and self-reliant, I don't hate self-reliant people, but I know that you don't mean that to me, and I don't mean that to you, but you and I don't want your elders to worry about themselves, so, let's put on a show, right?"

Lin Sen was thinking about what this woman would say to himself, but he didn't expect Shi Shan to be honest as soon as he opened his mouth, and he couldn't help but look at this woman in his heart: It seems that the iceberg is an iceberg a little, and it has not yet reached the arrogant Cheng Dù, and it is rare to be very understanding.

So, Lin Sen nodded decisively.

The two left each other's contact information, and Shi Shan came and went in a hurry.

Immediately, before Lin Sen could come back to his senses from the conversation just now, a transoceanic phone call came.

It was Livermore who called.

"Lin, Atletico Madrid has officially made an offer to buy back Koke."

PS: Well, thinking about this paragraph may be a bit off-topic, but I still think that the background of the protagonist is not enough to rely on brain supplementation alone, and it is better to write it, so I will solve it quickly and get down to business. If you have a book friend who doesn't like it, you can skip it.
