Chapter 36 Talk on Paper

The meeting lasted for two days...

The content of the first day basically left the most impressive thing on others was the match between Guardiola and Mourinho. Of course, the final result was that no one could do anything to anyone.

After the meeting, it was still in groups of three or three.

It is worth mentioning that through Lin Sen, two head coaches Mourinho and Pellegrini who had never met before but were likely to have a handover ceremony next season were officially met. However, they just shook hands but didn't talk much. Just a few days ago, Mourinho got a general under Pellegrini, Dutchman Sneider.

Speaking of which, Lin Sen's trajectory seems to be somewhat coincidental with Pellegrini's trajectory in memory. If you remember correctly, after leaving Real Madrid, Pellegrini also went to Malaga and was later taken aback by Manchester City. I don't know if Lin Sen occupied Pellegrini's way, or if Pellegrini will sooner or later become his "replacer" in the future.

Just like when he came, Lin Sen also walked side by side with Mourinho when he left, which naturally gave the reporters who had been waiting at the door a lot of opportunities to take photos and Lenovo.

Just like several other head coaches who go side by side, such as Juventus' old and new coaches Ferrara and Deschamps, AC Milan's old and new coaches Leonardo and Ancelotti, they used to try to Ferguson and Blank... But when these people walk together, you can easily find the intersection of them, but Mourinho and Linson, what is this intersection? Are they all enemies of Barcelona?

Interestingly, behind Linson and Mourinho are exactly the other two: Guardiola and Wenger. As representatives of the current European football pass-by and control football, Guardiola and Wenger certainly have many common topics.

"What do you think?" Wenger glanced at the two people in front of him and asked softly.

"Birds of a feather." Guardiola, who had just gotten angry with Mourinho, obviously hadn't yet gone, and was silent for a long time before replying.

Unexpectedly, this sentence made Wenger frown slightly. Wenger probably knew what Guardiola meant, but it simply meant that these two people had similar personalities. And they had celebrated holidays with Barcelona. Of course, the most important point is that their football philosophy is very similar, and they are both supporters of the victory theory. However, Guardiola's statement is not good news for Wenger, because in Wenger's entire coaching career, his biggest nemesis was not the Scottish old man in Manchester, but Mourinho, who only stayed in the Premier League for three full seasons. During this period, Wenger played against Mourinho eight times in various competitions, with a score of four draws and four losses. Whether it is the probability or luck, Wengerlen couldn't win in one game.

Birds of a feather? Does this mean that Lin Sen is also difficult to deal with?

Those who like to play ball control cannot be said to be afraid, but meeting a team that is good at busing is indeed the most troublesome, because such a team can often turn your greatest advantage into nothing. Wenger has not failed to study Linson's style of play, including his style of play in Malaga last season, and the name of the professor is not in vain. He admitted that if Linson moved that style to Manchester City, the next game might be very troublesome for Arsenal. However, Linson's Manchester City this season is completely different from Malaga last season. After three league games, Manchester City has been touted by the British media as one of the best-looking teams in the Premier League.

Thinking of this, Wenger couldn't help but sneer in his heart. The best way to play? Those reporters know what the way to play is? In their minds, there may be only one standard for not looking good, that is, whether there are many goals.

"Professor." Seeing Wenger, there was no answer. Guardiola also glanced at the two people in front of her, slowed down intentionally or unintentionally, and then said lightly, "Don't be deceived."

Wenger was stunned for a moment, but soon smiled slightly.

Noting Wenger's reaction, Guardiola didn't know if he really understood his meaning, but he was not the one who played against Linson next weekend. Although he and Wenger were like-minded, the two clubs had also been entangled in the problems of Fabregas. Although the person who was entangled with Wenger was Begilistan. Moreover, because they were the same type of people, Guardiola knew very well what he liked and didn't like to listen to.

Lin Sen left La Liga and Guardiola lost one opponent in La Liga. However, leaving does not mean that the troubles will disappear. Therefore, although it is not particularly concerned, Guardiola will know more about Manchester City this season. In addition, two teams had a fight at the Camp Nou one more than a week. Has Lin Sen really changed? Guardiola has a say, and his conclusion is what he said to Wenger just now.

Don't be deceived.

Lin Sen, who was walking in front, didn't know that he had become the topic of the two famous coaches behind him, but even if he knew, he would probably just laugh at it, because this was a normal thing, just like he and Mourinho would talk about Wenger, and he didn't think Wenger would accept Guardiola's advice to him, whether it was pride or reserved, in short, Lin Sen just knew it.

As for talking about war on paper, he may not even accept Mourinho's advice to him, let alone Wenger.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the next day's coaching meeting, Mourinho only participated in the morning half and then said goodbye early. At first, Lin Sen thought he had something to do, but soon, he knew why, because the afternoon meeting turned into a comment meeting, simply put, it was to evaluate UEFA's work in the past year. For Mourinho, who has repeatedly had unhappy with UEFA on referee issues in recent years, this obviously is not his time.

This is not the time for Lin Sen. He had never played European games at all last year and was not harmonious with the Spanish Football Association. But Lin Sen knew that he could not leave early. He was not Mourinho. Everyone knows Mourinho's character and would not say anything more about his early departure. The media guarding the door would probably link his early departure with his argument with Guardiola yesterday, and then write a sensational report. But Mourinho is still Mourinho, and he will not be affected by it.

But Lin Sen is different. He is only the first time he has been to attend such a meeting. If he leaves rashly, it goes without saying how the media reports it. He probably won’t expect to receive an invitation next time. Moreover, Lin Sen thought about it and found that it was most likely that Manchester City clubs could get the invitation this time. Although the main purpose of the club doing this is not necessarily to help him improve his level, no matter what, he cannot waste the club’s thoughts.

Before the meeting ended, as usual, all the head coaches attending the meeting took a photo together.

Although the location seems casual for this group photo, there is actually a routine, that is, those who are older qualified will sit in the front row, while others stand in the back row. As a "newcomer", Lin Sen can naturally stand at the end, and it is the outermost. The one who stands beside him is Pellegrini, who is also the first time participating, just like him.

As the picture freezes, Lin Sen's first coaching forum trip also ends.

Lin Sen has gained a lot, and the newcomer naturally has the benefits of the newcomer. Although he is an oriental face, in such a star-studded gathering, there is still not much gaze that will stay on him, which allows him to hide quietly and listen to other people's thoughts. No one will take this newcomer seriously, especially a quiet newcomer.

At the end of his approaching departure, Lin Sen was "accidentally" by a media from Italy and asked several questions. It is said that these questions have been asked several head coaches. At least Lin Sen had seen Wenger being interviewed earlier. Several questions were: Who can win the Champions League? Who will become the best player? Who will become the best rookie? Your ultimate goal? Which Italian team has the strongest strength?

Lin Sen thought about it and gave the "standard answer": Inter Milan, Milito, Thomas Muller, Champions League, Inter Milan. Lin Sen's reply was decisively considered to be pleasing Italy, or pleasing Mourinho, because the interview was conducted by Italian media, and because reporters had previously discovered that Lin Sen and Inter Milan coach were getting closer.

But who cares?

----------------

Back in Manchester, Linson still inevitably became the commander of the barely-powered commander.

In five days, the national team with World Cup match missions will have to play two qualifiers, and even the national team without the missions will have to play a warm-up match. The most detrimental thing is that the second game is September 9th, and when is the match between Manchester City and Arsenal?

September 12th.

This means that there are only two days left for Manchester City to train, and it is better to count the time for players to travel through the journey.

Fortunately, it is not only Manchester City who are troubled, and Arsenal cannot escape, although the young people are more destined to take advantage of them.

A few days after returning, Lin Sen could only talk to the coaching staff on paper while drawing young players up to practice with the remaining first-team members.

Compared with the neighbor Manchester United next door, Manchester City's youth training is obviously eclipsed. However, Manchester City has achieved results in recent years. Sturridge, who has gone away from Chelsea, and Johnson, who was loaned out, need not mention. Belgian central defender Boyatta and Swedish striker Guideti, who are still in the team, are young people who have been poached by Manchester City from other leagues. In Linson's memory, although these two people were unable to play in Manchester City in the end, they can at least make a fortune.

Just practice it, what else can I do?

Of course, Lin Sen's mind was also on the training ground, and he was also on the national team. He was not concerned about whether these countries could qualify, but whether his players would be injured.

On September 5th, the first round of the sixth ended, and fortunately, there was no bad news.

On September 9th, bad news came. Two players decisively broke the chain in this round.
