Elite Coach Forum.

It sounds like you know it is high-end. The organizer is UEFA. The reason for establishing the forum was to gather the top figures of European football together and let them discuss the problems that arise in the top leagues. It then evolved into a gathering for coaches in Europe to exchange experiences. The content of the forum has become more extensive, such as the latest trends in technical and tactical competitions, the reform of European club leagues, the role positioning of modern coaches, how coaches deal with the requirements put forward by current high-intensity events, and the relationship between the coach and the Football Association they belong to are all discussion contents of the forum. The forum is generally arranged at the beginning of each season, which will play a certain reference role in UEFA's decisions on relevant policies and rules.

The Elite Coach Forum has been held for ten sessions so far, which means that this year is the eleventh session. The UEFA invited the head coaches of major European clubs, including Ferguson, Mourinho, Ancelotti and other famous coaches, so almost every forum is full of stars, which is quite a bit like the meaning of Jin Yong's martial arts novels on the China Mountain Sword Contest.

Lin Sen didn't expect that he would receive an invitation. There was no self-deprecation. Manchester City is not yet a top European club. Moreover, for UEFA President Platini, who has been vigorously promoting the Fiscal Fairness Act, Manchester City, which has had no "financial fairness" for several consecutive seasons, is simply a typical negative textbook. Even for personal reasons, Malaga's achievements are not enough to make him a famous European coach. Lin Sen still has this self-knowledge.

However, the fact is that UEFA still sent him an invitation letter to invite him to attend the coaching forum held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland in early September. Lin Sen thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what he really attracted to UEFA. However, since he had received the invitation, there was no reason not to go. Lin Sen felt that he could meet many acquaintances, such as Pellegrini, such as Guardiola, who had just agreed to see him next year.

On August 25, in the League Cup against Brighton, Manchester City, who played as a substitute, defeated their opponents 2-0 and successfully entered the third round. Two days later, Manchester City learned about their third round opponent, Sheffield of the English Championship on Wednesday. However, the draw in the League Cup is far less eye-catching than another draw.

On August 28, the 2009/2010 Europa League group draw ceremony was officially held. Forty-eight teams were divided into twelve groups, which was different from the group of the Champions League. Since most of the participating teams came from outside the five major leagues, most of the opponents were not familiar with each other, they naturally couldn't be happy or worried.

For Lin Sen, this was originally just a routine, not a boast. Manchester City currently has no opponents to avoid in the Europa League. However, when the grouping results came out, he soon discovered that this was really a very interesting grouping.

Manchester City, which was not a seed team, was eventually assigned to the last group L group, and the same group included the Nationals from Portugal, Austria, Vienna from Austria, and... When the note with the name of the team was taken out of the ball by UEFA officials, opened it, and then read it out, Lin Sen's mouth was a very obvious arc.

The last team, from Spain, is called Athletic Bilbao.

After leaving Malaga, Lin Sen once thought that it might take a long time to never meet this team again, but he never expected that the enemy would gather so quickly. This is called "It's not that the enemy will not gather, but that there will always be people who will worry about gathering."

Who are you worried about?

In the subsequent interview, Ma Wood, who represented Manchester City at the signing ceremony, said that he was basically satisfied with the group results. After politely saying that other teams were good teams, a careful reporter mentioned the grudge between Lin Sen and Bilbao. Ma Wood smiled and called this reunion a thing that attracts football.

It is different from Mawood's understatement. For Bilbao, meeting Manchester City in the group stage, one of the strongest teams among the participating teams is obviously not good news. But in an interview, Bilbao's chairman Marcusa still said righteously: We will not be afraid of Manchester City, I have enough confidence in our team. In fact, Manchester City will make us more motivated and everyone knows the reason. Harvey Martinez? Welcome him home.

It seems that no one is worried about it.

On August 30, in the fourth round of the Premier League, Manchester City challenged Portsmouth away. Faced with the league deputy team leader who had suffered a three-game losing streak, Manchester City did not give Portsmouth any chance to turn around. The three-to-zero score gave the opponent four consecutive losses, and also won three consecutive victories.

At the beginning of the three-game winning streak, Linson's start at Manchester City cannot be compared with his seven-game winning streak in Malaga for the time being, but it is undoubtedly wonderful enough.

After four rounds of games, only two teams in the Premier League can be said to be better than Manchester City in terms of record, and both teams have no exception to Manchester City. Ancelotti's Chelsea won four consecutive games, and currently ranked first in the league standings with a goal difference. Tottenham, who also won four consecutive games, also won four consecutive games, followed closely behind Manchester City, which had three consecutive games. Arsenal, who also scored one game less but beat Manchester City with more goals. In a focus game in this round, Manchester United, who lost to Ferguson, had already fallen to seventh place with three points behind Manchester City.

After this round of league, the official website of the FA also announced the list of the best candidates for the Premier League in August. In terms of best players, Manchester City has two players selected, namely David Silva and Kompany. They have enough confidence to be selected. David Silva scored three goals and three assists in three league games. Manchester City's defense led by Kompany lost zero goals in three games, and Linson also became one of the candidates for the best coach, and the other two are Ancelotti and Redknapp.

The best player should be said that David Silva has a relatively high chance of winning. After all, the data is there, and Kompany has little hope. It’s not that he is not important, but the defensive players obviously suffer some losses in this regard. As for the best coach, it should be Tottenham’s Redknapp. The reason is very simple. In terms of winning games, Old Lei has one more game than Linson. In terms of winning difficulty, compared with Ancelotti, Old Lei faces stronger opponents. Beating Liverpool in the first round is Old Lei’s proud work.

After being poached by himself, Redknapp, who had no big money in the summer transfer market, was able to lead Tottenham to such a strong start, which surprised Lin Sen. In contrast, Liverpool's Benitez was a bit of a self-destructive and unstoppable. Letting go of Xavi Alonso is destined to be the foreshadowing of his departure from Liverpool. Such things can be big or small, and Aquilani is obviously not a small matter. In fact, Italian players who are used to slow pace rarely have successful examples in the Premier League, and Dicanho and Zora can only be regarded as special cases.

In September, the next day is the international match. As Lin Sen had expected, the Netherlands team drew Robben, De Jong, Spain drew David Silva, and Brazil drew Robinho... After seeing the draw list, Lin Sen could only smile bitterly. There were only seven of the first team's twenty-four players, but there were no recruitment orders. The list left behind also includes future internationals such as Cahill, Azpilicueta, and Xavi Martinez. You can imagine how bad the situation he faced in two years, perhaps next season, when the international match day, would be the same.

From now on, the fifa virus is no longer a small matter that can be easily dealt with for Lin Sen, but a big matter that he must take with caution. Manchester City's next league opponent is Arsenal, who just suffered a defeat.

Lin Sen did not set any obstacles for the players who received the call order to win glory for the country. This is a good thing. The cooperation at this time is also to prepare for the future cooperation of the head coaches of various national teams to cooperate with themselves. However, for several "fragile products", Lin Sen still had to be a "old mother". For example, Robben, Robinho, after explaining that several people must be taken lightly, Lin Sen also called the head coach of each national team and took the initiative to send them a report on the personal physical condition of the players specially prepared by Dina.

Since you want to cooperate, it is naturally a good cooperation. The most important thing is that the player is not injured. It is easy to borrow and repay, but it is not difficult to borrow again. Of course, if your cooperation is exchanged for the head coach of the national team that turns a deaf ear to Lin Sen, then don’t blame Lin Sen for doing non-violent and non-cooperating sports next time.

After doing these things, Linsen was about to set off for Nyon, Switzerland.

However, before this, he had to prepare a new suit specifically. Because when he was carelessly kept, the old suit was already wrinkled.

That was his only one.

Lin Sen is not used to wearing suits. He has been the head coach for nearly two years. He has been wearing suits and ties on the sidelines for a handful of times. Most of the time, he either wears casual clothes or simply sportswear distributed by the club. However, when he went to Nyon to attend such a meeting, Lin Sen still had to put on a coat that symbolizes seriousness because the occasion required.

Lin Sen originally planned to ask Dina to accompany her to buy it, because she felt that women's eyes were always better than men's. At least she liked it, at least it would be no shame to wear it out by herself. However, taking advantage of the international competition day, Dina wanted to go back to Spain to accompany her baby daughter. However, when Alyl knew about it, she became interested. Lin Sen originally planned to bring Tang Hua and planned to buy him a set, which was considered to congratulate him in advance for passing the coaching assessment. Tang Hua was originally a little moved, but when he saw Alyl, he decisively abandoned his boss.
