Midfielder.

Chapter 26 I am the head coach, you are not
Except for the conversation with Lin Yi, Mourinho didn't talk to anyone about the future, and he didn't mention the director's phone call with anyone.He won't even mention the future on any occasion, and no one in the entire Benfica team knows that this will be Mourinho's last game in charge, except for him and Lin Yi.

But everyone can feel that Lin Yi's temper has been very bad during these few days of training. This kid seems to be holding his breath. Whether it is in the confrontation in the training match or in the personal training, he is full of strength. Gaining strength, he made movements there fiercely.

Even the smile that this kid usually wore on his face disappeared, and almost everyone could feel his irritability.But Mourinho didn't seem to have given that little guy too much guidance, and he still arranged the team's training step by step.

Except that he and Lin Yi knew exactly what happened, everything seemed so normal.Everyone's thoughts were already on the game two days later, but the feeling of depression that weighed on Lin Yi's heart was still lingering.

Because of the conversation that day, Mourinho stopped following Lin Yi and continued to spend his life on the training ground every afternoon. He hoped that this little guy could get used to the training method without his own supervision. After all, he couldn't be with that kid all the time. side.

Just like he didn't tell Lin Yi the reason for leaving, now Mourinho doesn't care too much about Lin Yi's irascible temper. In his opinion, that kid is still a child, and he needs to let this little guy understand for himself How to deal with mental problems.

And even if you tell him about these things, it won't help, it will make this little guy's mood worse.So Mourinho didn't interfere too much except to prevent Lin Yi from being injured when he was doing the movements, and let the kid digest everything by himself.

Lin Yi just ran like this without saying a word on the training ground that was still a little bit hot in the afternoon, sweat dripping on the runway, Lin Yi really hoped that this way could temporarily get rid of the heat. A kind of irritability, but sweat can't wash away the burning feeling in my heart.

"Why did you leave, why..." This stupid question has been entangled with Lin Yi for a few days. He doesn't understand why the uncle chooses to leave at this time. Could it be that he is tired of everything here?

"Does my time at Benfica end with that pig taking office?" Lin Yi asked himself this question more than once, but he never had an answer. The confusion of his own future made Lin Yi's heart gather a fire.

"Hey, my little client!" Lin Yi's thoughts were interrupted by a greeting, and when he looked up, he saw Mendes' standard businessman's face.

"Are you here at the base again to talk to that pig about the contract?" Lin Yi was no longer surprised to see Mendes. For the past week or so, Mendes has come here almost every day. In order to discuss the contract issue that has dragged on for a long time.

"Hey, you future star of Benfica, you'd better not talk about your boss in such a tone, after all, the pig you're talking about is the guy who pays your salary." Although he was trying to stop Lin Yi, but Obviously Mendes also agrees with Lin Yi's evaluation of Villariño.

Now the Benfica team's disregard for Lin Yi's future value has made Mendes, a very well-trained person, almost unable to hold back.He even complained to Edward about this problem once on the phone, and the old friend seemed very helpless about such things.

It was the two of them who chose Lin Yi's future in Benfica, and that kid also used his ability to prove that he could stay here, but now Villariño has disrupted this originally beautiful future .

Almost all Benfica fans felt relieved by Lin Yi's turning out. They even called this little guy "Lucky Boy", because as long as Lin Yi appeared in the game, Benfica has never lost. Fans think It was the boy who brought them good luck.

But obviously the new chairman of Benfica doesn't care what kind of changes a 15-year-old kid can bring to the club. He is more concerned about the progress of his direct descendants in finding star players in the Spanish team, so Lin Yi's contract issue has already been resolved. Shelved by him.

Even if Mendes is a shrewd businessman with a vision for discovering people, but what he is facing now is a pig with a negative IQ, and that guy has been refusing to answer questions about the contract directly.

The most assurance Villarinho gave him was to wait until the end of the season to talk about Lin Wing's future, but Mendes is very clear about what the current leadership of the Benfica team wants to do, they are just waiting for the next successor arrival.

And Lin Yi's next contract?Maybe he should go and talk to the club after the loan. Although Villariño didn't explain all this, Mendes has already felt the sincerity of the other party.

An adult star and a young guy who has just emerged, Villarinho's choice has already been made, he is just waiting for time, as for whether Lin Yi's future is in Benfica, maybe Villarinho has never been I didn't care.

He is here to get results, what will happen to Benfica's future has nothing to do with him, what will happen to that black-haired kid?Maybe Villariño never thought about it, not to mention that black-haired guy who hangs out with that guy named Mourinho all day long is just as unpopular.

Although Mendes did not give up his efforts, the bad feeling of more than a week has made Mendes understand that Lin Yi's future is going further and further away from the Benfica team, and maybe he will leave here next season.

Now Mendes can only try his best to let that little guy understand what happened here. He only hopes that Lin Yi can treat all this calmly. At least in Mendes' opinion, that kid has done well enough on the football field , But some people are always so lack of long-term vision.

"Forget it, don't worry about the damn contract. You said that Portugal still has so many teams. It's not that you can't live without leaving here. As long as I'm still me, right?" Lin Yi ruthlessly He ruthlessly kicked the football away from his feet, as if doing so would ease his irritability.

"Well, let's forget about those unpleasant things. I don't want to bring you all bad news, which will affect your training effect." Mendes can hear a kind of irritability from this kid's words, so He stopped the topic just in time.

"Where did your personal head coach go? I haven't seen him for the past two days. Didn't you get annoyed by your gloomy expression?" Mendes tried to find a topic to continue the conversation, but it was very difficult. Obviously this time he got it wrong.

"He's leaving Benfica soon and he doesn't have time to come here and watch me train. Don't ask me why, I don't know, it's just that he told me it might be his last game. Damn it. !"

Lin Yi's irritability had subsided just now because Mendes' words started surging again, and he even threw the towel in his hand on the ground a little angrily, still muttering curses in his mouth, the backlog in his heart The anger has been shown.

When Mendes heard the news, he seemed to understand something. Maybe Lin Yi was not aware of some sensitive rumors among the clubs, but a professional businessman like Mendes was busy and keen to capture the valuable part.

"I have an unconfirmed rumor here that the pig you're talking about has signed Toni as Benfica's manager. Of course, it's all kept secret and they're all waiting for Mourinho to fail .Even if he can keep winning, he will end up packing his bags and walking out. Maybe he is tired of this kind of confrontation. You should know that it doesn't feel good to be hated by everyone."

Mendes patted Lin Yi on the shoulder and said, he understands what professional football is all about better than this little guy, Villariño and his methods are not clever, even a bit low-key, but to deal with A head coach with no foundation is enough.

But for a novice in the coaching position, the blow of this kind of betrayal is self-evident, and a person with strong self-esteem like Mourinho will not allow himself to be a loser in the eyes of others , instead of carrying it to death, it is better to choose to leave at this time.

This may be the best choice. Mendes can understand Mourinho's approach at this time. He is just a pity that this tough coach who could have led Benfica to success is leaving, and it is a pity that Lin Yi lost a qualification. tutor.

"A bunch of grandchildren!!!" Lin Yi finally understood why Mourinho didn't tell him the reason, and was kicked out by such a despicable means, and no one wanted to say anything, Lin Yi could even do it at this time Feeling like your chest is burning is a horrible feeling, but you can only vent your anger on things around you.

On the edge of the Benfica team's training ground, Mendes and Lin Yi fell into silence at the same time. In Benfica now, they can only see the dirty and despicable, but they can't see any light, and their moods are beginning to follow. Like the gradually setting sun, it sank to the bottom of the valley.

When Mourinho was training the next morning, he saw a Lin Yi who was practicing hard, and the boy's irritability seemed to have disappeared.Lin Yi puts his ruthlessness directly into training more often. Mourinho doesn't know what happened, maybe that kid thought about it himself.In the professional football circle, there are very few people who can accompany you all the way. Good luck to that little guy.

Perhaps the national derby brought too much pressure, so Mourinho did not leave the list of the main lineup until the last moment as usual.He chose to finalize the starting 11-man roster in the team the day before the game. He hoped that these players could maintain a peaceful mind to participate in the game.In such a peak confrontation, a good competitive mentality plays a very important role.

Mourinho did not deliberately change the team's accustomed 4-4-2 formation, but he made certain adjustments in the selection of personnel.He needs the spirit of a Benfica team in a game like this, so he put some players in the list who have been in better form in recent games and training.

The absolute main strikers like Simao and Cardoso were selected without accident, and the midfielder Thiago and defensive midfielder Petty were also the first to be finalized.Mourinho, the partner of the central defender, chose to trust the mature and prudent Haider and Algiers, while the aggressive Armando and Cabral served as the two full-backs respectively. In the position of the goalkeeper, Mourinho chose Moreira, who was trained by the Benfica youth team.

Alex became the choice of the attacking midfielder on the right, and Mourinho arranged Thiago's position closer to the left. He hoped that such a pull would make the space in the midfield bigger. Now the only What has not yet been finalized is the position of the core of the attacking midfielder.

"Lin Yi!" Mourinho said the last name in a low voice, but it made everyone in the team grow mouths in surprise when they heard this decision, because this decision seemed too shocking, this Everything came too suddenly.

Let a guy who is only 15 years old play in such an important game! ?And it's still the main lineup! ?He even wants to organize the team's offense! ?Everyone is looking at Mourinho with the eyes of an alien, expecting an explanation or a change from this guy, because in their opinion, this decision is too surprising, including Lin Yi himself felt a little surprised.

"Me???" Lin Yi pointed to his nose while looking at Mourinho. He couldn't believe it was true. He really wanted to appear in the national derby?Or the main force?This is not a dream. . .

"If you refuse to play, I can consider substituting now. If there is no problem, this is the 11-man starting list on the day of the game. As for the tactics, I don't want to repeat it again. I need you to maintain your current state unless something unexpected happens. It will be a substitution, I hope not."

Mourinho ignored Lin Yi's surprised expression. He just marked the names of all 11 people on the tactical diagram, including Lin Yi's, and his position was hidden behind Simao and Cardoso. The strongest midfield position.

When Mourinho closed the door of the conference room, Lin Yi hadn't recovered from the shock. . .Derby?starting?Own?His mind is estimated to be full of question marks and exclamation points, and he doesn't know why Mourinho did this.

"Hey, uncle! Why did you choose me to play as the starter in this game? Is it because you are leaving? Is this a gift?" After Lin Yi realized it, he was the first to chase him out. He was in the parking lot Finally stopped Mourinho's car, he stood in front of the car and asked Mourinho.

"Because I believe you can do it. In this kind of game, I need someone who can tear the opponent's line of defense, and you are my choice. Time is running out. Be ready to participate in the game. I don't want to be in the game. Benfica lost in their last game."

"Don't think I'm the kind of guy who leaves gifts for others. You can play because you have the best performance recently. I pick players to play not because of his age, but because of what he will bring to the team. change, and you, can do it all.”

"If you want to say something, it's best to stay in your stomach, go on the court, and prove to me with your feet that you can do your best, and let those guys who underestimate you see that they are wrong!" After Mourinho said this, he restarted the car, leaving only Lin Yi in a daze.

As for what Lin Yi and the entire Benfica team think of Mourinho's starting lineup, it is no longer important, because Villariño and other club executives were the first to get angry after learning about all this. Knowing what this guy standing in front of him wants to do, do you want to give up the game?Doesn't he know the origin between the two teams?Did he regard this game as a game! ?

That's right, Villariño wants this guy to lose the game and get out immediately, but if he uses a fiasco to face the fans at the Stadium of Light.Perhaps it is not only Mourinho who is unlucky, even they themselves cannot be spared. Almost all the club directors are asking Mourinho what is going on. Is he joking?This is the National Derby!Not a kindergarten game!

Looking at the people in power who were a bit runaway in front of him, Mourinho didn't say much, he just left the meeting room of the directors after leaving a sentence, talking to idiots, sometimes it takes a lot of brains, Mourinho Neo didn't want to waste brain cells on them.

"Now I am the head coach of the team, you are not, if you lose the game, you can release me immediately, I will not have any complaints, but before you decide to release me, this is my roster, please not in People in this position, automatically shut up!"

The last thing Mourinho left for these people was a back view striding out of the conference room, and a room full of fat people with their mouths wide open. At this moment, their expressions matched the big mouths, and they really looked like standard idiots , but their eyes were full of surprise.

This is probably the first time in the history of the Benfica team that a head coach can express his opinions so directly in front of the club chairman, without even giving them any face. , can't even think of a way to do it.

"Let that guy pay for his arrogance! He will definitely lose the game! After he fails, he will definitely receive a dismissal letter from the club! Now I just want to see how that guy failed! An arrogant fellow!"

Villarinho finally slammed on the table with his fists, and his characteristic loud voice finally vented once. He is now imagining the expression of that guy Mourinho after losing the game , Maybe that's what Villariño wants to see most.

And Mourinho, who has already walked out of the conference room, will not see this scene. He can only feel very comfortable now. This may be the most unscrupulous moment for him. Don't care about those people's feelings, he only thinks about how to beat his opponent on match day, Sporting Lisbon?Come on, let my team and you collide with the most brilliant sparks in the game, and see me off. . .
