Chapter 42 Ammunition

Beating Arsenal, Manchester City fans have reason to have a good weekend with a happy mood.

But for Linson and Manchester City, this is far from a time for them to relax. Because in the middle of next week, three days later, they will have their first European game of the season, home against the visiting Portuguese Nationals, and then next weekend's sixth league round, which will be a more important game than the past match against Arsenal, as their opponents are right next door to them.

Manchester United.

In another focus battle that was held later, Manchester United defeated Tottenham Hotspur three-to-one away, ending the opponent's four-game winning streak and achieving his own three-game winning streak. Redknapp's team made the best start, but he still lost to Ferguson. This may be the so-called "strong confidence". As it turns out, Manchester United lost to Burnley in the second round, which was really unpopular.

Not only next week, next week, until early October, Manchester City's schedule is a one-week double game. This will undoubtedly test Manchester City's bench thickness and the players' physical fitness reserves. Even if Lin Sen intends to run into the main lineup, the rotation system is inevitable. You cannot expect the main lineup to play nearly ten games in a month, especially after experiencing the national team's hard work.

Fatigue is the root of injury, and Lin Sen, who was once a team doctor, knew this very well. What comforted Lin Sen was that in the next few games, Manchester City played at home, which at least allowed Manchester City to "live for work". Of course, this was obtained at the cost of continuous away games in a certain period of time in the future.

Although Manchester City is known as the fourth-line battle this season, it is actually only the third-line, because for Premier League teams, they do not need to participate in the first two rounds of the FA Cup, and the third round will usually be in January. By that time, the League Cup has reached the semi-finals stage. Most teams have basically ended their journey in this event.

Subjectively, Lin Sen does not intend to give up any first-tier game, not only because Manchester City hasn't tasted the title for too long, except for no English champion that Manchester City fans are willing to see again. The last time Manchester City won the championship dates back to the 1970s. It is also because Lin Sen himself needs the championship to stabilize his position. The store bullies guests. Lin Sen is nominally the head coach of Manchester City, but he is far from being the "master" here. Manchester City can invest hundreds of millions of dollars in the transfer market. If Lin Sen cannot convert these advantages into capital, then Manchester City naturally doesn't mind changing a head coach, let alone his predecessor Mark Hughes, even a meritorious coach like Mourinho, Abraham never felt ruthless when he fired him.

Rich people often lack patience. Abu is a rich man, while Mansour is a rich man among the rich.

Of course, we will not give up subjectively, but objectively, the focus will definitely be, because the importance of each front is different. The league is the fundamental, followed by the Europa League. Then there is the FA Cup and the League Cup. Thanks to oil, Linsen has enough resources to deal with these events. Even if it is just a substitute, Linsen can still play a card that can beat most mid- and lower-level teams in the Premier League. Hart, Azpilicueta, David Luis, Cahill, Richards. Harvey Martinez, Ireland, Wright Jr., Bellamy, Adriano... Even if Linsen's memory is not used as a standard, with the current value of these people, this is still a lineup with an average per capita value of tens of millions.

Ammunition is sufficient. For Lin Sen, he has no reason not to dream of more.

The next day, all the English media gave their praise to the two teams in Manchester. Interestingly, the two focus matches in this round are precisely the showdown between Manchester and London. Moreover, the two teams that win are mortal enemies, and the two teams that lose are also mortal enemies. In the next round, Manchester City and Manchester United will stage a Manchester derby. There is also a derby in London, which is Chelsea vs. Tottenham.

Manchester's local newspaper Manchester Evening News called Manchester City's victory against Arsenal the birth battle of emerging giants, and Manchester United's victory against Tottenham a proof battle of veteran giants, and then put the respective goals and heroes of the two teams together, Robben vs. Rooney, of course, not just to show the entire England Manchester's position in the Premier League, but also to warm up the Manchester derby that the two teams are about to usher in.

After five rounds of the league, Manchester City and Manchester United, who each defeated strong opponents, surpassed Tottenham, ranked second and third in the league standings, ranking first, Chelsea, who still won all five games. After Tottenham lost to Manchester United, their position in the standings had fallen to fourth. It is worth mentioning that after defeating Burnley four-to-zero, Liverpool, who had a stubborn start, has quietly returned to the sixth position in the league. On the contrary, Arsenal, who made the media sing praises in the first two rounds, became the target of media's inaccurate deception after losing to Manchester United and Manchester City one after another.

The success is the king and the defeat is the enemy. This is the reality, and so is the football.

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

September 13, Manchester, sunny.

From Malaga to Manchester, different countries, different living habits, and even different football styles are faced with different football styles. Lin Sen has changed many of his own habits, but some personal habits are difficult to change. For example, he still insists on jogging every morning. Although the jogging route has been changed by him to this section of the training base, he will take a shower, eat breakfast at the training base, and welcome the arrival of the new day in the best condition.

Today, Lin Sen still walked out at the time he was used to, and then jogged towards the training base in the fresh air in the morning. There were not many vehicles on the way to the training base, and even fewer in the morning. However, Lin Sen still occasionally met some people, some famous people, such as Rooney. Since the road to the training base is also a must-pass way to the Manchester United training base, although Lin Sen was a little surprised at the time when he met Ferguson at that time, it was not accidental. One of the people Lin Sen often met was Rooney. Of course, it was said that it was met. In fact, the most "close" time was just the two of them crossed their eyes, because one was in the car and the other was on the road, and in the same direction, most of the time, Lin Sen was jogging in the front, and Rooney drove past the back and then drove away.

Just like this, Lin Sen and Rooney are of course not aware of each other. But after observing words and deeds, Ferguson once praised Rooney's professionalism, which was obviously not just a preference for his proud disciples. After Rooney left Spain, Rooney was destined to assume more responsibilities for Manchester United, but for Lin Sen, Rooney would be one of the problems he had to solve in the next game.

When I arrived at the training base, everything was as usual. After seeing Chapman, Lin Sen, who had greeted him, asked: Is he here?

Chapman is Manchester City's jersey administrator. Linson became an acquaintance with him while having breakfast. For Chapman, Linson always thinks of him and Aguilar in Malaga because the two have many similarities. They have been in their respective clubs for more than ten years. They are respected in their respective clubs and are full of feelings for their respective clubs. However, because of their identities, Aguilar is more serious in the eyes of the players. Chapman, who deals with the players every day, is affectionately called Chappy by the players. Chapman happily accepts this nickname.

Chapman usually stays at the training base for two days before and after the game, because tidying up the jerseys after the game and preparing the jerseys before the game is his main job.

Chapman nodded to Linson's question.

He refers to Bell.

Bale, who was injured in the national team game, has resumed training, but it will take some time before he plays. Linson does not need to envy Ferguson for having a dedicated Rooney, because he also has such a player, and Bale is one of them. Genius comes from talent, but success does not necessarily mean genius, because success comes from hard work. Only when the two are combined can genius be equated with success.

Of course, Bale is a genius. This was recognized when he was less than seventeen years old, so he attracted Ferguson's favor and made Tottenham recruit him as a first-team player. However, geniuses will also encounter trouble. Bale's biggest trouble is injuries, but it is not limited to injuries, because athletes will have ups and downs.

At present, it is undoubtedly Bell's low point because he encounters two troubles at the same time: status and injury.

In the first three games, Lin Sen fulfilled his promise to him before signing. He has always been the starter of Manchester City's left winger position. Manchester City scored eleven goals in the first three games, and none of them belonged to Bale. Of course, this cannot be said that he has no contribution to Manchester City's offense at all, but this obviously does not meet his estimate of this position, especially when everyone around you is scoring goals, how can you not be in a hurry?

Two seven million is the price Manchester City paid for him in the summer, second only to David Silva, and even higher than Robben. Looking at their performance, how could it be without pressure?

But at this moment, injuries came to him again. Then, in the last league game, he could only watch from the wall, watching his teammates win the fourth game for the team amid the cheers of the fans at home, and the person who opened the door to victory for Manchester City was still the person whose position was different from him, but who was already vaguely regarded as a competitor in his heart.

Bale knows that he cannot be compared with Robben at this time, but what about the future? Are Tottenham, Manchester United, and Manchester City all his futures?

Bell, who was running slowly along the training ground, suddenly looked up and took a deep breath. The injury had passed, but his condition was still questionable. He didn't know if Lin Sen would still believe him as usual in the next game, but all he could do was training.
