Chapter 279 Why didn't Lu Chen start?

"Lu Chen's performance is really outstanding. I feel that he can play a more important role..." He said to his coaching staff members during the coaching staff meeting.

"But what position should we give him, he seems to be almost versatile, he can play in every position, and he plays pretty well." The assistant coach said.

"In the midfield...we already have Costa in the frontcourt, and Sergio is there, which is completely enough." Flores said.

Because Fran's state has fluctuated with age, and his attitude towards training is often disgusted by Flores.

So Flores wants to gradually deprive Forlan of the starting lineup, but he is not worried that Atletico Madrid has no forwards to use, because they still have Costa to replace them.

Atletico Madrid is rich in strikers, and Flores is also known as the godfather of strikers, how can he play because of the lack of strikers.

What they really lack is a good midfielder who can organize, break through, defend and penetrate.

And Lu Chen's characteristics are perfectly the same as Flores' ideal midfielder characteristics, so he started thinking about a big change for the team.

However, some coaches of the coaching staff do not agree with Flores' opinion: "He just had a relatively good performance. We don't know if he will be stable yet, so we can't rashly put him in the starting position." .”

Some coaches suggested: "More importantly, if we promote him directly, it will definitely cause chaos in the locker room, and then it will affect his performance. Why don't we give him more opportunities to play? If he plays well, it must be a matter of course for us to put him in the starting lineup..."

Although Flores didn't have any problems until what they said, he was still a little unwilling.

Facing such an outstanding player like Lu Chen, he couldn't use it, which made him scratch his heart like a cat.

Why can't Flores become a world-class coach?
It's not because he is not good at employing people, he has also discovered many sharp strikers in the teams he has been in.

It's not because his tactics are not good, as Atletico Madrid's first Europa League championship can prove.

His shortcoming is that he is not decisive enough to handle the locker room well.

The problem with the locker room is to cut through the mess quickly. The more it drags on, the more chaotic it will become, and it will be difficult to control in the end.

"Well, no problem. I see..."

--------

When he challenged Valencia in the next round of the league, Flores put the hottest rookie in the team on the bench recently, but Costa was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by him and started directly.

However, because of Forlan's authority in the locker room, Flores did not take him down all at once, but let Costa play instead of Aguero.

At the press conference before the game, the reporter also conducted a sharp cross-examination on this question...

"Mr. Flores, why didn't Lu Chen, who is in good form recently, not start the game? Is it true that there is a phenomenon of seniority in the Atletico Madrid locker room as the outside world said?"

Flores really wanted to punch this reporter in the head, and then cursed: "Are all of you journalists so brainy? You can imagine that there is a problem in the locker room based on the expressions of the players. ?”

But it's clear he can't because he doesn't want to be the first head coach to be suspended before he's even in a game.

Importantly, he doesn't have the lunatic attitude of Mourinho either.

"The reason why Lu Chen didn't start is because of our tactics..."

This question, of course, is the most standard answer.

The reporter must not continue to ask questions about tactics.

If someone who is not sensible continues to ask, it is to inquire about the secrets of the team...

"Then can you explain why Costa can start?" Some reporters continued to ask.

Flores laughed. Although he couldn't explain why Lu Chen couldn't appear, it was very easy to explain why Costa was able to appear.

Although he wanted to say to the reporter: "My troops are in formation, why are you beeping!"

But he still smiled and said: "Because we have more goals this season, our team must make a rotation... In my team, no one is the absolute main force. Even Fran, he can't play well." If it is good, I will take him down without hesitation!"

From the side, Fran could hear that there was something in Flores' words.

Forlan felt that there was no problem, and Flores was paving the way for one day to win Forlan's starting lineup.Although all the reporters took it as Flores and said some perfunctory words, Fran didn't feel that way.

He knew Flores didn't like him, and he didn't like Flores either.Therefore, he has been asking his agent to help him contact other teams, and it is best to transfer during the winter break.

Not because of Flores, but because he saw the threat...

Threats from Costa and Lu Chen!
Young people are awesome, and they are talking about Costa and Lu Chen.

Costa's performance can be considered normal, but Lu Chen is different.Facing Barcelona in the first show, came off the bench and scored two goals to help the team kill the opponent...

If this kind of performance cannot serve as a main player in the team, it really shows that Flores has a brain problem.

As for Costa, his performance is becoming more and more threatening. In addition, Aguero, who is trusted by Flores, if he does not leave, there will be great competition in the team.

Fran is not afraid of competition, but he is keen to avoid it.

Since these reporters couldn't find anything to provoke in Flores, they turned to attack Fran.

"Mr. Fran, what do you think about your teammate Lu Chen being a diehard fan of Iniesta?"

This reporter also deliberately put the words "teammate" and "die-hard fan" very heavily, as if emphasizing to Fran that the two of you are competing for the Golden Globe Award, and your teammate is getting cold feet, why don't you beat him up? he!

Fran was smiling on the surface, but in fact he had already been mmp in his heart.

"I don't think this is a problem. Everyone has their own players that they admire, and so do I. He is a fan of Iniesta, of course it is his freedom. I also admire Iniesta more... ..."

But the reporter still felt like he didn't pick out the matter, "But now is the time for you and Iniesta to compete for the golden ball. Will Lu Chen's performance affect you?"

Bringing out the Golden Globe Awards, the reporter must have thought that Fran would make a big fuss about this matter.

But he didn't expect Fran to say: "Lu alone can't decide the Golden Globe Award, and even if he supports Iniesta, I have no objection. Because I also think Iniesta should win this award." prize……"

Although this was not what Fran had in mind, since Fran said so, the reporter must not continue to ask questions.
