Chapter 31 The first ball

The one who appeared in Manchester City's first pre-match press conference in the new season with Lin Sen was Suarez, who just joined. The chapter was updated the fastest

By chance in time, Miss Vicky Cross, the club's press officer, directly handed Suarez to Linsen when the pre-match press conference was held. Linsen had to accept this. The reason was that it was obvious that Suarez's appearance would help Linsen attract the attention of the reporters present, but it would definitely make them ask themselves more questions about Suarez, and he was not easy to avoid these questions, because Suarez was next to him, and maybe even he would be interested in those questions.

The facts were as expected by Lin Sen. Suarez made the appearance of Suarez's personal press conference in the first half. Lin Sen had to sit next to him and listen to Suarez express his gratitude to his old club Ajax, his yearning for the Premier League and his love for Manchester City in English. Needless to say, this is another speech given by the agent to Suarez. This tone similar to "being a fan of a certain team since childhood" is almost the standard answer to please fans when joining a new team.

Lin Sen took the microphone only after Suarez finished his speech, but Suarez finished speaking, which did not mean that his topic was over. Lin Sen had to continue to answer questions such as whether Suarez would enter tomorrow's roster, whether he would be the main player, and how he and Robinho coexist. Lin Sen, who had been mentally prepared for a long time, could only answer patiently.

After finally asking Suarez's topic, the reporter began to ask about the transfer market again. There are two main questions: one is that Manchester City will not continue to buy people, and the other is whether buying so many people will affect the stability of the team.

Regarding the first question, Lin Sen finally said what the media has been thinking about but didn't want to hear: our signing work has ended, and Suarez will be our last signing this summer. Lin Sen personally announced the end of the transfer.

As for the second question, Lin Sen seemed to be indifferent: "Buying so many people will certainly affect the stability of the team. But we will not be stable for stability. Stabilization is to do better. If not, I don't think there is any need for stability. I came to Manchester City not to maintain the status quo. The club hopes to go further. We have a common goal. So this summer, we have introduced many players that I think are very suitable. My task is to integrate them into the team. Then we strive for something we want. If it succeeds, by that time, we will talk about stability. This year we have introduced ten people, but maybe we only need to introduce one person next year, or we don't need to introduce at all."

After answering these two questions, Lin Sen rarely joked with the reporters present: Why don’t we talk about how Blackburn is?

As soon as Lin Sen said this, all the reporters smiled knowingly.

This press conference was originally a pre-match press conference between Manchester City and Blackburn away, but now most of the press conference has passed, let alone the game-related issues. Even the name Blackburn has not been mentioned several times, and the reporters present are not stupid. Since Lin Sen used such a tactful way to remind them to get back to the point, they naturally would not mess around and become disgusted.

Subsequently, with the reporter's question, Lin Sen announced his big list of games. As he had answered before, Suarez, who had just joined, did not make it to the big list of games except him. Robinho, who was injured in the warm-up match against the Celtics, was also absent due to injury. Except for these two people, all other players were on the big list.

At this time, a reporter asked Lin Sen’s starting list.

Lin Sen smiled and replied: At this time, even my players don’t know if they can start tomorrow. I don’t want them to see the news of their start in the newspaper.

Another burst of laughter.

The atmosphere of the entire press conference is very relaxed, but even the relaxed pre-match press conference means that a game is coming.

On August 15, the 2009/2010 Premier League season kicked off.

In the earliest league game, Chelsea, who had just defeated Manchester United to win the Community Shield Cup, faced Houl City at home Stamford Bridge. The score was finally frozen at 2-1, and Ancelotti's Premier League debut was safe. Among the six games held simultaneously in the afternoon, Manchester City's away challenge to Blackburn was the most eye-catching game, because Arsenal and Manchester United's games were postponed, and the focus of this round of Tottenham's home vs. Liverpool was the finale.

At 3:00 pm, Ewood Park Stadium was full, and the English football market has always been popular. Even in the second-tier English Championship, the attendance rate can rank among the top in Europe. What's more, the opening game of the Premier League is also a blessing for this reason. Lin Sen, who came to the away game, also enjoyed the endless applause of home fans after the team entered the court.

Lin Sen, who was standing in the Premier League for the first time, had a calm expression, and could not see any tension, but it was definitely not relaxing. Allardyce, who was less than ten meters away from him, had a somewhat solemn expression.

Speaking of Allardyce, he actually needs to thank Linson, because if it weren't for Linson, his number one striker Santa Cruz would not be Blackburn's jersey this summer. And speaking of this, Allardyce's ability to coach Blackburn is indirectly related to Manchester City, because it was Manchester City who poached the proud Mark Hughes from Blackburn, which led to Paul Ince's poor record in coaching Blackburn, and Allardyce replaced it.

Of course, Allardyce's expression was solemn, not because of this, but because it was an expected difficult game.

Blackburn is not the violent man in the 1990s who dared to pull Ferguson's Manchester United down after just a few years of upgrading. Last season, Blackburn did not ensure relegation until the third round of the league. So what if Blackburn has an advantage in his historical record against Manchester City? It is different from the past. Money may not really be able to buy a championship, but money can really change a lot.

For example, Manchester City, which remained unbeaten against Blackburn last season, will be raised to a higher level.

The facts proved that Allardyce's solemnity was not unreasonable. Just two minutes into the game, David Silva shocked Allardyce's cold sweat. The Spaniard, who was obviously stronger, regarded Blackburn's backcourt as his own back garden. Two Blackburn players followed him for a long time but failed to grab the ball from his feet. Instead, he successfully opened the gap and passed a ball behind him. Bale, who was inserted at high speed on the side, directly met the ball and shot with a burst of shot...

Then there was a crisp collision, causing a burst of exclamation on the entire court, and goalkeeper Robinson didn't even have time to move.

Blackburn escaped, but Allardyce frowned, because he vaguely realized that he seemed to have made a mistake.

Allardyce is not familiar with Linson, but for this game, he still watched all the warm-up matches of Manchester City this summer. Then he came to several conclusions, one of which became the tactical basis for this game was that Manchester City's offensive organization relied heavily on the front midfielder. In his opinion, Linson put two defending and not attacking ball grabbing machines in Manchester City's midfield, and set up two attacking and not defending wingers on both sides. Then, all organizational tasks naturally can only fall on the front midfielder. From the warm-up match, this person is David Silva.

Therefore, Alledes's task to his players is to defend David Silva in close combat and limit Espanyol's activities as much as possible. He feels that as long as David Silva is restricted, Manchester City's offense can be limited to the greatest extent.

But now, in just one round, David Silva told him that his worth of 30 million was not in vain. Lin Sen dared to let David Silva take on the big responsibility, so he naturally knew his ability. Without the diamond, he would not give it to him if he wanted to take on porcelain work.

Moreover, Allardyce underestimated Lin Sen too much. Some things can be seen in a few warm-up matches, but if you decide it just like this, it is undoubtedly a suicide.

It is true that most of this Manchester City offensive mission is the responsibility of the front midfielder, but this is not absolute. Taking the current lineup on the court as an example, David Silva is the first organizer, but if he is really restricted by the opponent, then he will become a pseudo forward and turn to restrain the opponent's defense, and hand over the offensive organizational mission to the second organizer: Xavi Martinez, who is regarded by Allardes as one of the ball grab machines.

This is not all. Robben, who is sitting on the bench at this time, was able to decide the game alone when he came on the court, and he was also one of the potential offensive organizers. There is also Suarez who has not entered the roster. The role of his and David Silva is one of the offensive combinations that Lin Sen is most looking forward to... You can imagine that when all these people are on the court, it is almost a dream to deal with Manchester City's offense by killing a organizer.

Players with insufficient strength compete with this group of people, or do not have enough tactical execution to make up for this gap. Only luck can prevent Manchester City from attacking.

If you make a mistake, you will be punished. The saying that if you survive the disaster, you will have a blessing in the future may be true, but not everyone can catch the blessing in the future. If you can't catch it, it will easily become a person who can escape the first day of the first day of the lunar month and the fifteenth day of the lunar month. Aware of the mistake, but because Aldes was still lucky at the beginning of the game, he soon confirmed that he must have made something wrong.

It was only five minutes after that loud goal post, almost the same routine as before. David Silva passed the ball behind again. This time he got the opportunity to be Bellamy, who successfully offside. Bellamy, who had played for Blackburn for a season, did not show mercy to the old owner. Facing Robinson, he made a calm diagonal shot, and the ball flew into the lower left corner amid the exclamations of 30,000 fans at Ewood Park Stadium!

The first ball.
