Chapter 55

Lin Sen came to Germany for one reason only: Rois's father wanted to meet him. However, after the meeting, Rois's father was not the main character; Rois was.

"Why is it me?" As Lin Sen expected, Rois went straight to the point.

"Why can't it be you?" Lin Sen's response followed closely after Rois's question, and then he looked at Rois with a smile.

"..." Rois was taken aback, fell silent, and seemed to be pondering what Lin Sen's counter-question meant.

Lin Sen was not in a hurry to speak. He just looked at Rois calmly, seemingly forgetting about the equally silent old Rois on the other side.

"Sir, what I mean is, I am not a genius player, nor am I famous. I really can't understand why you would want to sign me, and I don't even know why you know me. Moreover, you plan to give me a starting position." After a moment, Rois still couldn't figure out the connection between Lin Sen's response and his question, so he decided to be more specific about his doubts.

"Right now, you are indeed not famous, and not many people consider you a genius, Marco." Lin Sen continued to smile and spoke in a calm voice. "But no one is born famous. In my country, there is a story called 'Bole and the Thousand-Mile Horse.' The story goes that a man named Bole was commissioned by the king to find a good horse. He searched for a long time without success, but eventually, he saw a thin and bony horse on the road. He believed this horse was the one he was looking for. At first, no one believed him, but later, it was proven that his judgment was correct. I'm not telling you this story to say that I am Bole and you are the thousand-mile horse. I just want to tell you that the reasons why I want to sign you and why I know you are not important. What's important is that I believe you are the person I am looking for, and I can prove it to everyone. So, if you really need an answer, I hope you can give it to me, not the other way around. Do you want to hear my prediction for your future if I don't sign you?"

Rois glanced at his father and then nodded.

"You will sign with Red-White Aalen, but you won't stay in this second-tier team for long. Speed will be your greatest asset. Maybe after one season, maybe after two, you will be noticed by a Bundesliga team. Then, you will smoothly play in the Bundesliga. The team that discovers you won't be a top club, probably a mid-table team. Gradually, you will establish yourself in this team, and your position will move from the wing to the center, eventually becoming the central playmaker. Then, based on your performance, you will enter the national team. After two or three seasons, you will have the opportunity to join a big club, maybe Bayern Munich, maybe Leverkusen, or perhaps..."

At this point, Lin Sen's smile became a bit playful. "Dortmund. What do you think?"

Rois felt his breathing start to quicken from the moment Lin Sen mentioned Red-White Aalen. When Lin Sen said he would enter the Bundesliga, his breathing was already noticeable. When Bayern Munich was mentioned, his breathing became rapid. By the time Dortmund was mentioned, he felt a bit breathless.

After the initial pleasantries, old Rois had remained silent. The actual conversation between Lin Sen and Rois was not long, but each of Lin Sen's words hit his son's vital points. His expression changed from a smile to a serious one, and then to a state of shock.

When he saw his son's eyes growing brighter, old Rois knew that the Chinese man in front of him was already his son's head coach.

Lin Sen has always admired German players, and the reason is the same as for most people: German players generally have a certain resilience, which people call willpower. In the hands of a head coach, willpower can easily turn into tactical execution ability. German football is called the German war machine for this reason. Regardless of whether it is good or bad, the eleven parts of this machine always fit together seamlessly.

In this regard, Italian football is much more "cunning." Italy is a tactical kingdom, and they can always devise various tactics to help them win matches. Moreover, this country, which once had a league known as the "Little World Cup," has a common bad habit with the other major leagues: a sense of superiority. For example, England values "nationality," and Spain values "bloodline." Ironically, when these top leagues' players leave their home leagues, they are notoriously unable to adapt.

Therefore, for Livemore, who went to Italy, Lin Sen, who already knew the situation, was actually prepared for the possibility that he would not make progress in the short term. In comparison, he was undoubtedly more concerned about another matter.

It was said that another club was interested in Baha: Zaragoza, who had just poached Sitaro from Malaga. Last season, Zaragoza was relegated, and they clearly did not intend to give up. Although they were now a second-tier team, their financial resources were much better than Malaga's. For example, the transfer of Diego Milito brought them nearly ten million in transfer fees.

However, Zaragoza's offer for Baha was quite special and did not involve a transfer fee. They wanted to exchange players, and the player they intended to use for the exchange was Gabriel Fernandez Arenas. When Lin Sen first saw this name, he was a bit puzzled, but when Livemore told him the player's other name, he almost jumped up.

Gabi.

Yes, the future captain of the iron-blooded Atletico Madrid, who would lead the team to the league title, surpassing the two giants of La Liga, Real Madrid and Barcelona, and almost reaching the pinnacle of Europe.

This was almost like a gift from the heavens.

In Lin Sen's plan, the transfer work of Malaga for the entire summer was not just two stages but three. The first stage was not the most important, but rather a matter of necessity. The second stage was more like a race against time, but for Lin Sen, the most important was the third stage, as it involved a crucial issue: the midfield shield.

The new season's Malaga would continue to use the counter-attacking tactics the team was best at, and defense would be the top priority. Compared to last season, the biggest change in Lin Sen's plan for Malaga's defensive system was to bring the defense back to the midfield, or more accurately, to the center. In Lin Sen's view, although wingers have been popular in recent years, overemphasizing the defense on the wings while neglecting the protection of the center, as Malaga did last season, was clearly an overcorrection. Therefore, the midfield shield for the new season's Malaga became the most headache-inducing issue for Lin Sen, as he found that, compared to other positions, the candidates for this position on his list, after applying the same filters, were all gone. The only person in the current Malaga team who could勉强胜任这个位置的只有阿波诺。因此，林森这段时间一直在梦中思考哪些后腰失意、哪些后腰落魄，最好是既失意又落魄的。

因此，加比的出现对林森来说，就像是瞌睡碰上枕头——正是时候。

利弗莫尔显然不会知道林森此时的想法，在他看来，萨拉戈萨的这个转会提议多半林森不会喜欢，因为他已经看出来了，林森之所以把巴利斯塔和巴哈推上转会市场，并不是因为他不喜欢这两个前锋，甚至不是战术上的原因，只是纯粹因为，在马拉加，巴哈是全队除了副队长加梅斯之外最可能卖上钱的人，而巴利斯塔恰恰是全队工资最高的人。所以总而言之，林森现在是穷疯了。

加比不错，但换巴哈？开什么玩笑。

“你确定？”利弗莫尔以为自己听错了。

林森同意了这笔交易。要知道，换走巴哈之后，马拉加可真是砸锅卖铁卖无可卖了，剩下的可能还值点钱的加梅斯是不可能卖的，那是球迷的心头肉。这样的话，林森第二阶段的最后两个目标，十有八九就要真泡汤了。

“当然。”林森的回答非常干脆，“不过，萨拉戈萨需要贴钱。”

“既然这样，剩下的交给我。回头我再联系你。”

利弗莫尔挂断了电话，开始思考着应该如何和萨拉戈萨交涉。

巴哈换加比，还让萨拉戈萨贴钱，如果放在几年之后，这几乎是天方夜谭。但现在，却完全有操作空间。首先，两人的加盟方式就有所不同，马拉加签下巴哈是花了转会费的，而萨拉戈萨签约加比属于自由加盟。其次，两人的工资完全不对等。巴哈目前在马拉加的工资只有一年不到十五万，而因为是自由转会，加比在萨拉戈萨的工资并不低，一百二十万，恰恰是此前马拉加的最高工资。当然，还有更重要的一点是：这笔交易的发起方并不是马拉加。

鉴于这些，利弗莫尔很快对萨拉戈萨的提议做出回复：可以交换，但萨拉戈萨必须补差价两百万。

萨拉戈萨方面一看，虽然对利弗莫尔的狮子大开口有点恼火，但马拉加既然肯谈判，就说明此事有戏。原本只是抱着询价心态的他们对此还是比较高兴的，刚刚失去迭戈-米利托的他们急需要一个前锋，显然能和西塔尔戈形成默契的巴哈是个不错的选择，更重要的是，当打之年的巴哈工资要求不高。降级对萨拉戈萨还是造成了影响，紧缩财政就是最直接的体现，在西塔尔戈到来之后作用有些重叠的加比恰恰在队中也属于高工资一族，自然就成了清洗对象。

加八十万！萨拉戈萨第一次还价。

加一百八十万！利弗莫尔你来我往。

加一百万！萨拉戈萨二次还价。

加一百五十万！利弗莫尔再让一步。

加一百二十万！

成交！

一个巴哈换来加比和一百二十万，这笔在林森看来简直就是萝卜换大炮的买卖就这么轻而易举的成了，虽然在眼下的利弗莫尔看来，也仅仅是应该不会亏的程度。接下来，这笔交易能不能成为现实，只剩下最后的一道障碍：两个当事球员的意见。要知道，类似这种涉及球员交换的交易，如果最终流产，原因往往出现在球员身上。

巴哈成为问题的可能性不大，虽然甲级变成了乙级，但萨拉戈萨下赛季很可能会升级，巴哈只不过是晚一年打西甲，但如果他去萨拉戈萨，他几乎肯定会得到一份远远高于在马拉加的合同。所以，问题只可能会出在加比身上。工资能成为巴哈成行的理由，自然也能成为加比不能成行的理由。两个人的情况几乎是相反的。马拉加不可能提供给加比一份超过在萨拉戈萨的合同，相反，他们还会要求加比降薪，这才是问题所在。

对于利弗莫尔的这个疑虑，林森倒是不怎么在意。在他看来，加比多半会接受降薪，因为他不相信未来马竞的队长在能打西甲的条件下，会甘心去打乙级联赛？萨拉戈萨又不是马竞！更何况，和最低解约金条款有点类似，西甲俱乐部尤其是有降级危险的俱乐部普遍在球员的合同内都有一条降级降薪多少的条款，加比恐怕也不会例外，如此一来，即便他呆在萨拉戈萨，恐怕也难逃降薪。
