Milan, Rome, Madrid, Manchester.

When these four cities appear in the football world, many fans can easily discover their common ground, that is, these four cities have two top league teams. Needless to say, Milan Derby was once known as the number one derby in the world, and the Roman Derby was known as one of the hottest derbys in Europe. Compared with these two cities, the derby of the latter two is undoubtedly much dimming. The reason is very simple, the gap in strength.

Whether it is the Madrid derby or the Manchester derby, there is often no suspense in the result. What is more unexpected is that in these two cities, the weak team has more fans without exception. This has also created the most pitiful and respectable group of fans in the football world.

Like every city in the world, Manchester has its bright and bleak side, and just like the two sides of a coin, these two sides are often close. Manchester Commercial Center is the most prosperous area of ​​the city. However, it only takes about half an hour to walk southwest from here to Manchester's civilian area, which was once the largest slum in Europe. Here, there are no high-end shops in the city center, nor modern squares in the city center. Some are just street lights that may not be lit at night, and buildings that can see traces of old industries at a glance. Of course, you can only find small bars with dim light at night.

Compared with Madrid, the capital of Spain, Manchester's football atmosphere is stronger, and compared with Atletico Madrid fans, the fans here are also more...rough.

A taxi in broad daylight was parked next to a sign that was more than one person tall. The most conspicuous thing on the sign was a shield surrounded by a sky blue circle. The shield was the pattern of a ship, with three slashes below. At the bottom of the sign was the name of this bar: mcfcarms. As long as Manchester United fans still had eyes, they would not walk into such a bar, because the pattern on the sign clearly showed a fact: this is a bar belonging to Manchester City fans.

The pattern on the sign is the logo of the early Manchester City team.

"Turner, you are lazy, do your boss know?" A man with a bearded face yelled loudly as soon as he walked into the bar, which caused a burst of laughter in the bar.

"Get out." After laughing, a irritating voice rang out, "I'm off work early."

"Haha, don't you still drive? Still drinking?" The bearded man walked to the man who called Turner in search of the voice, patted his shoulder with his hand. It was obvious that the two of them met a familiarity and said with a smile.

"Which eyes did you see me drinking?" Turner, who was bloated, didn't even look at him. His eyes were just looking at the TV screen hanging above the counter, with the Sky TV sports news on it.

"Didn't you drink?" The old bearded man was stunned for a moment, took the cup in front of Turner, smelled it, and immediately threw it back in front of Turner, and cursed with a smile, "Run to the bar to drink boiled water, you are full."

"Do you nothing. Old Miller has no objection, you have so much nonsense."

...

The bearded man is named Stevenson Taylor. He works in a nearby food processing factory. Turner Brown is the driver of the taxi parked at the door of the bar. Old Miller in Turner refers to the owner of the bar. These three people are all Manchester City fans. Old Miller, who is nearly 60 years old, is currently the oldest fan of this bar. This can actually be seen from the sign outside the bar.

Such as the unnutritious dialogue between Stevenson and Turner just now, it is staged in this bar every day. It is not a problem for meat and vegetables. Everyone may become the target of others' cheers at any time. Everyone will not take this seriously. For them, this is another home for them, and they can do whatever they want. Here, there is only one situation where they will concentrate, that is, when there is a Manchester City game, and that is, it is also the most lively time of the bar.

Stevenson and Turner were still scrambling each other, but suddenly they closed their mouths and turned their eyes to the TV above the counter. At this time, the sound of the TV was suddenly turned up, covering all the sounds in the bar, and also focused everyone's eyes on the TV screen. Those who turned up the volume were no idea when the bar owner, Old Miller, had walked out of the backstage.

"... The news that our station just received was that Manchester City, which announced last week that acting head coach Kassel returned to the youth team, just announced the news of the new head coach. Chinese coach Lin Sen became the new head coach of the team. The specific contract details of Manchester City have not been announced, but according to relevant personnel, Manchester City and Lin signed a three-year contract. Not long ago, the Chinese coach who just left Malaga had briefly coached Atletico Madrid. Last season, he achieved great success in Malaga and led Malaga to the next season's Champions League, and beat last season's Champions League champion Barcelona to win the King's Cup last season..."

After a moment of silence, then an uproar.

"Why is it him? Didn't it mean Roberto Mancini?"

"Damn Mubarak, why is he a Chinese?"

"Don't forget Sun, there's nothing wrong with Chinese people..."

...

Although the Sun's previous report about Lin Sen was suspected of being sensational, there were photos as evidence. The Manchester City fans present naturally had heard that Lin Sen might have taken over Manchester City, but most of them did not think that Lin Sen could really be a success, because compared with Lin Sen, the rumors about Mancini and Manchester City were rumored to be longer and more real. But unexpectedly, Lin Sen finally came first.

Lin Sen is not a big-name coach yet. Of course, it is impossible for all Manchester City fans to welcome him. So before the news was broadcast, the bar was already in an uproar, and all kinds of emotions were there. Old Miller's face was calm, and he looked at the people in the bar laughing or scolding, supporting or opposing, and some even argued that their faces were red and their necks were thick, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

Nowadays, Manchester City fans are like getting rich overnight. One Thaksin and the other Mansour are like two consecutive lottery tickets, which makes countless Manchester City fans excited and forgetful. They often pray for the team to stay in the Premier League, began to dream of superstars and super coaches, began to dream of participating in the Champions League, winning the championship, and even began to dream of the team regaining the "representative" of Manchester City...

It is right to have dreams, but if dreams turn into fantasies, it is not a good thing. Last season when he wrote, Manchester City fans did not wake up, and last season when Mansour came, Manchester City fans did not wake up.

As a representative of getting rich overnight, Chelsea set the best example for Manchester City. In a few years, Chelsea grew from a Premier League powerhouse to a European-level giant. At the beginning, Old Miller dreamed that Manchester City would be the next Chelsea, but two seasons later, he returned to reality and witnessed the rise of another Manchester team. He knew very well that it was never easy for a club to transform. Money is essential, but money is never the only one.

At the right time and conditions, you must also meet the right person.

Just like Manchester United in the last century met Alex Ferguson, just like Chelsea in the early 2000s met Jose Mourinho, it is hard to imagine what kind of situation would be if these two clubs had not met these two people. And now Manchester City also needs to meet a suitable person. But this person has never had a specific standard. So, Mancini? Maybe, Linson, may be.

"Do you want to tell me that a coach who has coached for less than two years is better than a coach who has led Inter Milan to three consecutive championships?"

"Scolari also led Brazil to win the World Cup championship. So what about Chelsea last season?"

"That doesn't necessarily mean that Abramovich will hire a coach who has only won one domestic cup championship."

"Don't forget who brought Chelsea into the Champions League final last year."

"Is that so? Then where is he now?"

...

Like others, Stevenson and Turner were still arguing over why the club chose Linson instead of Mancini. Later, no one could convince anyone to see Old Miller standing behind the counter, and walked over to ask Old Miller what he thought.

Old Miller, who was wiping the cup, didn't raise his head and said one sentence.

Now, Linson is Manchester City's head coach.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

On Manchester City's official website, a text with a strong official flavor, accompanied by a picture of Linsen in Málaga, Manchester City announced that Linsen's signing.

"Marchester City Football Club is pleased to announce that Linson is the club's new coach. Lin is an excellent candidate for Manchester City coach. He is one of the most talented young coaches today. He has achieved outstanding results in recent times. His ambition, motivation and determination are very consistent with Manchester City. We are confident that Lin will lead this team to achieve greater success in major domestic and European competitions."

Above the text, Lin Sen is wearing casual clothes and her expression is relaxed. No matter who sees this picture, there is probably only one who can make them feel the same, that is, youth.

This day is June 20th.
