Midfielder.

Chapter 399

Similar to Lin Yi's troubles, Mendes is also considering Lin Yi's future accommodation, but the best choice is Portugal, but now the old man Scolari's attitude is still tough.

Originally, choosing the Portuguese national team might be a matter of course, but if you have such a head coach, you really have a bit of a headache, and Mendes has already communicated with the other party about this matter.

But Scolari's attitude has always been unclear, he did not refuse, nor did he nod in agreement.

It can be seen that the old man is still resenting Mourinho's refusal to let Lin Yi come to the national team.

Maybe the gain or loss of a friendly match is not an important matter. The reason why Scolari can't let go of face is because Mourinho has unscrupulously stabbed this matter in front of the mass media.

The tough Brazilian obviously felt that his rights were being challenged. In the Brazilian team, no one dared to challenge him so openly, but he was frustrated by Mourinho and Lin Yi.

Not only Mourinho didn't care about himself, the world champion coach, but even Lin Yi didn't seem to care about him. Even if he didn't come to the national team, he just asked the club to respond.

From the beginning to the end, Lin Yi never had a face-to-face conversation with Scolari at all. In Scolari's view, such an arrogant move was definitely something that only a prickly person could do. Unruly feeling, for such a player, Scolari is quite lack of favor.

Just like when he was able to give up players like Romario and Sergio, he needs to maintain his dominant position as a coach. Even if the opponent is talented, he must obey him.

Otherwise, he would never accept this player into his team. Lin Yi's name has undoubtedly been labeled by him since that moment, a very disobedient and talented player.

Scolari never denied Lin Yi's talent on the court. At the beginning, he wanted to recruit Lin Yi because the little guy's ability on the court had been collectively recognized by him and the coaching staff.

Including Scolari also said in private, "Lin Yibidko is suitable for the role of the field commander."

Without an experienced veteran like Costa joining, Scolari really wanted to hone Lin Yi well before the start of the European Cup so that he could play the role of midfield commander.

But his timing was really bad. He made up his mind to let Lin Yi join the team when Porto had already entered the knockout round of the Champions League. Not only was Mourinho disagreeing, but even the Portuguese Football Association was on the side of Porto. On this side, the final facts also proved that the choices of these people were correct.

Porto lifted the Champions League trophy, hacked Lyon, hacked Manchester United, and won the Champions League again for Portugal after more than [-] years. At the same time, it also frantically wrote a dark horse legend in the history of the Champions League.

But Porto won the championship, and there was nothing exciting for Scolari. The little guy he needed failed to join the team. Porto's Champions League trip ruined his preparation plan.

If he can use the last few friendly matches to polish Lin Yi's cooperation with the whole team, Scolari even thinks that he can really lift the European Cup in his home country instead of only getting a runner-up in the end.

And when Mourinho resisted Lin Yi's joining the national team, he also started a verbal war with Scolari in the newspapers and media. That guy often used such sharp words to attack others.

Compared with Mourinho, Scolari obviously has no advantage. What's more, Mourinho has the backing of the Champions League, so he will not be afraid to confront a guy who is not good at talking head-on like Scolari.

"If Mr. Scolari really valued Lin Yi's role, I think he should have made a decision long ago."

"Instead of waiting for the European Cup to start in three or four months, I think of the importance of Lin Yi. I think such a temporary choice cannot highlight Lin Yi's core position in the team."

It can be said that Mourinho didn't save Scolari any face at the time. He accused Scolari of choosing Lin Yi just to give the team another offensive option and to make the last gamble.

And can a few friendly matches determine whether a player is suitable for his own tactics?Mourinho, who is also a coach, doesn't think this is a wise choice, especially in world competitions.

Mourinho knows what kind of player Lin Yi is. If he cannot be given a fixed position and absolute trust, then the kid may not be able to show his strength on the court at all.

In the Portuguese team at that time, Mourinho still couldn't see that Lin Yi could have a suitable position, and Scolari was just preparing to leave a spare tire for Deco. Mourinho would not accept this arrangement.

What's more, as midfield partners Lin Yi and Deco, if there is any disharmony in the national team's playing problems, it will definitely hurt the Porto team's pursuit of the Champions League.

So Mourinho not only rejected Scolari's request to recruit Lin Yi, but also didn't save any face for the old Brazilian man in advance. It is estimated that he almost didn't point his nose and scold him in person.

Although the two never had a chance to collide after this confrontation, the relationship between Scolari and Mourinho has completely reached a freezing point, and there is no good feeling for each other.

Mourinho won the Champions League happily for Porto, making him a hero of that city.

After successfully winning the runner-up in the European Cup, Scolari's reputation in Portugal has reached a peak period. Many fans who support the national team hope that the Brazilian old man can stay in office.

And more people are expecting Scolari to lead their national team to achieve better results in the World Cup, and to create glory again before the golden generation of Figo is about to retire.

The perfect performance in the European Cup has made many fans look forward to the national team's continued victory.

After all, the Brazilian old man led the Portuguese national team to regain its glory in the European Cup, although the loss to Greece in the final did make many Portuguese fans witness that defeat at home.

But this did not affect Scolari's prestige among the fans. You must know that in the previous decades of European Cup history, the Portuguese team won the best result, which was the semi-finals in 2000.

That was achieved when the golden generation was fully mature. The current Portuguese team has been trained under Scolari to become a team with tight defense and sharp offense.

The team led by Scolari was only one step away from the final summit, but the Greeks, favored by Zeus, completed their own dark horse magic and successfully wrote another miracle after Denmark.

Many Portuguese thought it was their bad luck to meet such a group of strong lunatics.

Deco, Ronaldo, this group of core players who have begun to succeed the golden generation, have shown their talents in the European Cup, and now the stage of the World Cup is waiting for them to bloom again.

However, many people are now calling on Scolari to recruit Lin Yi into the national team as soon as possible, so as not to let the regret of the European Cup final reappear, maybe they can really create a new miracle in Germany.

Someone said at the beginning, "If Lin Yi had been on the court at that time, he would have let the group of Greeks know how good he is, just like what he did when he ravaged the Greek team in the UEFA Cup."

Figo, Deco, Lin Yi, Ronaldo, if these guys all appear in the midfield of the Portuguese team.

What a gorgeous midfield landscape that would be, everyone can act as a passer, and they can also cause trouble for the opponent in their personal breakthroughs and become a threat to the opponent's defense.

In the case of the Portuguese team's forward line is not very strong, it is definitely the best choice to have a creative midfielder, especially Lin Yi's performance in the Champions League, which made many Portuguese fans call for him. Lin Yi, "Let that kid lead our team to win the World Cup!"

Just like Eusebio once led the Portuguese team to the third place in England.

Maybe this time Portugal can surpass the original "Black Panther" team. If Lin Yi can show the state he was in Chelsea, maybe this is not an unattainable dream.

It's just that the appeal of these fans and the media did not make Scolari's stubborn old man compromise in any way. In the mind of this tough old guy, Lin Yi is an undisciplined personality player.

Although he had never really come into contact with Lin Yi, that little guy obeyed Mourinho's order and directly resisted his call, and he has not expressed his willingness to play for the national team so far.

Scolari has always kept a respectful distance from such unscrupulous players, especially when the overall operation of the team is good, he has more reasons to refuse Lin Yi's request to join the national team.

Scolari's refusal to back down was due to his stubbornness, but Lin Yi didn't plan to give this Brazilian old man any chance. Since you don't need me, it doesn't matter, I don't necessarily have to curry favor with you.

That kid Lin Yi has such a character, if you are easy to talk and discuss, then everything is easy to talk about.

If you are dead against him, well, you should have seen his stubborn character on the court.

Only Mourinho can make Lin Yi bow his head in such a tough way, who else?Then you are dreaming and want Lin Yi to show weakness first, unless this kid's mind is squeezed through several doors.

Otherwise, even if you can never let the national team hire him, he will not frown.

"WHO is afraid of WHO, besides, I didn't do anything wrong." Lin Yi never thought that he was at fault for this matter. It was originally that he was treasonous if he didn't participate in the friendly match for the club?
If this is the case, then Lin Yi doesn't mind being really rebellious. He really didn't take that tough Brazilian old man seriously. It's fine to respect the old man, but don't expect me to admit my mistake.

Respecting the old and loving the young is a traditional virtue, but there is no need to perfect a person who still looks at himself out of the corner of his eye.

Scolari's attitude and Lin Yi's personality have shown Mendez this time, "These are two fucking live donkeys, no one will take a step back, just bow their heads on the single-plank bridge like this!"

When most of his teammates had gone to the national team to report, Lin Yi was still under the supervision of Faria, and began to gradually resume physical training. As for the national team, that was Mendes's concern, let alone now Lin Yi didn't have to hang himself from a tree in the Portuguese team.

In the recent phone inquiries Mendes received, apart from Florentino's stalker who insisted on buying Lin Yi, there were quite a few insinuations from other national team coaches.

A Swede like Eriksson, who was already sitting on the crater, asked his assistant to talk to Mendes. Although he didn't say it clearly, a man like Mendes had already understood it.

If the FA gives the green light, according to the current FIFA regulations, there is no way to prevent Lin Yi from joining other national teams. He has not represented any national senior team to participate in international A-level competitions. He must be under the age of 21. If Lin Yi meets all the conditions, this is not a problem at all.

Eriksson is definitely at the stage of seeking talents. Originally, because he revealed that he had sex with the female secretary of the FA, he was already being chased and beaten by the gossip media in England.

But don't tell me, this Swede not only has a strong taste, but also he is so brave that he dared to grab a woman from the boss of the FA. I don't know if this is considered a cuckold for the other party.

If this kind of behavior is placed on ordinary people, it is at most a piece of disgraceful lace news, but Eriksson is the head coach of the England national team, and this problem will obviously be magnified.

Some reporters even prepared to pay the woman part of the cash to extort Eriksson's private life, including the ability of this gray-haired guy in a certain way.

This is an era of national gossip. Since you are the coach of the England national team, you have to be prepared to be ridiculed by the entire British Isles, and even explore privacy issues, and you cannot resist violently.

Being openly discussed by tens of millions of fans about one's ability in a certain aspect is absolutely inhumane onlookers.

Eriksson's situation was already depressing enough for him, and more depressing things were yet to come.

The progress of the qualifiers made the Swede a public enemy of the whole of England. Countless England fans sent letters of protest to the FA, demanding the immediate dismissal of this idiot.

"A guy who can only last 10 minutes in bed with a woman is a fucking jerk!"

This is still the most restrained statement of England fans. Even many coaches and players have commented on the Swede's coaching in private. The label is too conservative, and it is not wrong to label Eklerson.

If he was not conservative, England would not have been unable to get rid of Poland's entanglement in the qualifier group, and even facing a team like Azerbaijan, it was only a small victory.

Although Eriksson said after the game that winning is the most important thing, the score doesn't really mean anything.

But England fans who watched that game would curse the street. If Beckham's pass at the last moment hadn't created an aerial bombing opportunity for the England team, this game would have been a draw.

All fans will cheer for Beckham, but at the same time, they will give Eriksen the middle finger.

If it weren't for Beckham's repeated savior at critical moments, Eriksson might have been scolded to death long ago.

Even the head coach of Azerbaijan said unconvinced after the game, "We are only bad luck. If there is no pass from Beckham, we will definitely defend the tie at home."

This is definitely a blatant slap in the face of Eriksson, and the other party is not bragging. The Englishman did not take advantage of it throughout the game. Both Lampard and Gerrard were sleepwalking.

"Our offensive organization is a bit messy, and the opponent's defense is very strict." This is what Lampard said in an interview with reporters after the game. Although he didn't say anything clearly, such a statement has represented the views of many England players. , Ineffective midfield organization is the biggest reason.

But Eriksson is completely out of control now. From Lampard to Gerrard, from Joe Cole to Beckham, the command of the England midfielder has changed back and forth like this, but it has never improved.

In many cases, the Swede can only rely on Beckham to use his set-piece skills to open the deadlock for the England team. Just like this game, it really needs good luck.

Being forced to such a point by Azerbaijan is not the worst. The away game was scored [-] to [-] by Austria, and the Polish team was only one point behind. This is what made Eriksson the most angry.

The midfielder, the organizer, the linker of the team, these problems are no longer pestering Eriksson for a day or two, and now he is in urgent need of a life-saving straw, and Lin Yi is undoubtedly the best choice.

He has played in the Premier League himself, is no stranger to the English style, and is also teammates with Terry, Lampard and others. There are not too many running-in problems. The most important thing is that he has this ability.

Lin Yi is almost a weapon tailor-made for the English, at least in Eriksson's eyes, and many fans think so, so the Swedes will start to contact Mendes.

Although Eriksson's assistant is not as explicit as he said this time, he has already hinted to Mendes that as long as Lin Yi can join the England team, the Swede will guarantee his main position in the team.

It is estimated that even Lampard did not have this kind of treatment at the beginning, but now the Swede, who has been pushed to the edge of the cliff, has no choice. Besides, he thinks that betting on Lin Yi is not a very risky choice.

That kid is definitely a guy who can create miracles on the court. He really needs Lin Yi to join him.

"England? Portugal? Or something else?" Even Mendes himself was a little confused this time.

But with these competitors, Mendes will release some news if he is fine, let the Brazilian old man weigh it himself, Lin Yi, it's not that no one wants it, and it's not that he has to enter Portugal.

Alas, if this person is too sought-after, he will be troublesome. . .Mendes played 13 deeply once. . .
