Chapter 32 Victory

The final result of the game is five to zero..

Manchester City, which is not the strongest lineup, ushered in a fantastic league start. After Bellamy's first record, David Silva became the master of the game, scoring two goals and three assists in one game, Wright Jr. and Sabaretta each scored one goal.

In fact, Linson only made three personnel adjustments to the main lineup of Manchester City last season. One was that the midfielder Harvey Martinez replaced Ireland, the other was that Bale replaced Petrov, and the last and most critical one was that the forward double striker became a single striker, and an offensive midfielder was added, that is, David Silva.

The perfect start was a little regretful, that is, Bale failed to score a goal, and the Welshman had many opportunities in this game, but he missed the goal every time. However, Lin Sen was not worried about Bale because he knew that the goal would come sooner or later. In this regard, he had confidence and evidence. The information came from his memory, and the evidence came from his own eyes. In this game, the light on Bale's head in Lin Sen's eyes had already spread downward without scoring a goal.

The new position is like a new door. After opening it, it may be a rugged path or a Sunshine Avenue. Bale, who had played left-back before, may occasionally push open the door, but he often tries it briefly, because defense is the main responsibility. But now, Lin Sen directly pushed him to the other side of the door, and what appeared in front of him was a Sunshine Avenue.

The best player in the game undoubtedly belongs to David Silva. Blackburn's head coach Allardyce admitted after the game that his biggest mistake was insufficient prediction of David Silva's ability, which eventually led to his team's defense collapse. He praised Espanyol's performance, believing that Blackburn did not lose to Manchester City, but to David Silva. As for Manchester City's head coach Lin Sen, Allardyce was envious of him, envious of Lin Sen's good deck and envy of so many transfer fees.

Lin Sen smiled at Allardyce's "benefiting one and the other".

Allardyce is talking about the fact that his card face is one level higher than Allardyce. The game is like playing cards. Having a good hand is more important than anything else, because when the cards in your hand are good enough, all card skills are clouds. Lin Sen does not need to deny this. However, the card face is too good, and even if you win, it will inevitably make people doubt the card skills.

There was once a head coach who had the best deck of cards in the world. When he won everything with this deck, everyone took it for granted, but when he left, people realized that there were good cards and people who could use them. This person was the former Real Madrid head coach who led the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship, and Bosque, who is currently coaching the Spanish national team. In two years, Guardiola will face the same doubts.

Regarding this, Lin Sen’s argument is useless. There are gains and losses. It is not that easy to win both fame and fortune. This world is still fair.

After retreating from Ewood Park Stadium, Manchester City, holding five goals, became the leader of the Premier League. However, this leader Manchester City was snatched away by another team in less than three hours. This team is Arsenal, who also played away. Wenger's team swept Everton with a score of 6-1, and another Spaniard separated the light from David Silva. Fabregas shot two shots and passed two times in this game, and the same starlight was shining.

However, not all the strong teams who play away are so lucky. Liverpool suffered a defeat at White Hart Lane Stadium. After the end of this game, the first round of the Premier League was over. Sky Sports TV also commented on the performance of each team at the first time after the game. The most prominent teams were naturally the outstanding teams. Arsenal's victory was called a convincing victory, because in the game, Arsenal, who firmly controlled the game situation, did not give Everton any chance to turn around, and Manchester City's victory was called a surprise, because before the game, they were actually not optimistic about Manchester City's victory. Although Manchester City's overall strength is stronger than Blackburn, Manchester City's lineup has changed too much. They thought that Manchester City might take some time to adapt.

"After the almost rebuilding personnel replacement in the summer, Lin used a victory to tell everyone that the concerns about the unstable lineup of Manchester City were unnecessary. It seemed that he had found a perfect balance between lineup replacement and tactical stability. Compared with Manchester City last season, Linson only made three adjustments to Manchester City in this game. It was these three adjustments that made Manchester City perfect on both offense and defense. Especially David Silva's performance, which proved that Manchester City finally made the right investment, worth 30 million, worth the money. No, if David Silva can continue such a performance, it will be worth the money."

A big victory made Manchester City fans happy and encouraged and the media sang praises for Manchester City. But Lin Sen knew that it was too early to be proud now. Malaga, who started the seven consecutive wins last season, is no more glorious than Manchester City today. Five to zero is a good score, but for Lin Sen, its value is no different from one to zero, and it is both three-pointers. Manchester City’s goal is to become a "big master", but the rice still has to be eaten one bite at a time, and it cannot become a fat man, even if the bite is good.

On the day the first round of the league ended, the second round of the League Cup was drawn. Manchester City's opponent will be Brighton, a small team from the League One. The game will be August 25, which means that next week, Manchester City will have a weekly double game. In fact, not only the next week, because it is necessary to give way to the next month's World Cup qualifiers, the Premier League teams will have a weekly double game, but Manchester City's second round of games will be postponed, because four days later, they will go to Spain to play a Gambel Cup match with Barcelona.

The Gambel Cup, which has a history of more than 40 years, was set up for Barcelona's founder Gambel. At first, four teams participated. Later, due to the increase in pre-season games and the time of the game, it was reduced to a one-round system in 1997. Barcelona invites some famous teams to participate every year, and this year they invite Manchester City. It is said that this was decided before Linson took over Manchester City, and Linson felt that the possibility was very high.

Because if we knew that Manchester City's head coach was himself, Lin Sen really didn't think that Barcelona, ​​who was taken away by himself last season, would invite Manchester City in such a celebratory event. However, the fact is that Barcelona wants to regret it, Lin Sen is actually not happy. Although the second round of the league was postponed, it is not necessary to compete. The Premier League schedule is notoriously intensive. Everyone is on vacation on Christmas, and Premier League teams have to stage a Christmas battle. Although the postponed game will definitely choose a suitable time, it will inevitably make the schedule of Manchester City at a certain time later.

What's more, Manchester City is not Malaga. Most of the time, the national team's game day can be regarded as a rest day. It is not impossible for the national team to draw Manchester City's first team so that even the eleven people on the court cannot get together.

Of course, since things have been settled, complaining is useless. On August 19, Lin Sen appeared on the sideline coach's seat at Camp Nou Stadium as scheduled.

This is the fourth time that Lin Sen and Guardiola meet. In Malaga, the two have met three times before, with one win, one draw and one loss, and the two are evenly matched. Before the game, Lin Sen and Guardiola shook hands with each other, not necessarily a matter of harmony, but for such a game, no one wants the atmosphere to be too solemn. Even the fans of Camp Nou still don’t applaud Lin Sen, but they temporarily put away their boos.

The game was played in such a peaceful atmosphere. Neither Linson nor Guardiola had sent his strongest lineup. Compared with Barcelona, ​​which was half-main, Linson simply turned this game into a new player debut. Azpilicueta, David Luis, Vidal and other new players who did not get a chance to play in the last league came on the court.

It's still the same tactics as with Blackburn, but Barcelona is not Blackburn, and Ireland is not David Silva.

Ireland was directly lost in the opponent's siege, while Xavi Garcia was directly frozen by Barcelona's Yaya Toure. The two wingers Petrov and Wright Jr. did not get any benefits in the matchup with the opponent. Manchester City had to place the offense on Adriano, who acted as a fort, and relied on the Brazilian's physical advantage to stop the ball and organize some offenses.

As for Barcelona, ​​who controlled the midfield, Yaya Toure became the decisive figure. The Ivorians not only freeze Manchester City's offensive organizers on defense, but also have the strength to participate in the offense. In the first half, Barcelona took the lead with a long shot from the back row, and in the second half, he took advantage of a corner kick opportunity to head the ball.

The score of 2 to 0 has also been maintained until the end of the game.

Barcelona picked up the Gambel Cup, which they wrote, directed and acted at their doorstep, while Lin Sen suffered his first defeat at Manchester City.

After the game, Lin Sen congratulated Guardiola. After this game, if he and Guardiola want to meet again, they can only be in the European arena, and it depends on whether Manchester City can live up to expectations and qualify for the Champions League this season. For best player Yaya Toure, Lin Sen stepped forward and patted his shoulder, with a meaningful look.

In short, Yaya Toure is also the "old player" of Manchester City in his memory. In the summer, Linson thought of bringing the Ivorians to Manchester City a season earlier. However, considering his relationship with Manchester City and Yaya Toure's stable position in Barcelona, ​​he still gave up his efforts. However, this is only temporary. Yaya Toure is destined to leave, because in his position, there is a better choice for Guardiola, or for Barcelona fans. Busquets, who has not yet been awarded the title of "professional". Compared to Kiaya Toure, Busquets is younger and more promising. The most important thing is that he is a Catalan from La Macia, Barcelona.

Everything can be changed, but the origin cannot be changed. Therefore, Yaya Toure may not be willing, but he still needs to give in. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, novels are better, updated and faster!
