Four games, thirteen goals, and one average of more than three games, this is not a problem. Playing a tailwind, Ferguson believes that his Manchester United can do it in even two games.

The problem is that Manchester City still has another data, that is, four games and zero goals conced.

A strong team should establish a foundation based on offense or defense, just like the beauty of football should be based on process or result, which seems to be a matter of opinion. But in fact, there has been a common argument in football in recent years, that is, defense is better than offense. Of course, each team does this defense differently. A typical example is that no one dares to say that they play Barcelona, ​​which defends football, and their defensive system comes from their midfield pass control with an integrated offense and defense.

So, defense depends on the method. However, not all teams are Barcelona, ​​and not all teams can choose beautiful defense. For most teams, defense is still simple and rough, that is, intensive defense.

Compared to offense, Ferguson has always believed that the construction of a defensive system can better reflect the ability of a head coach. Because a superstar may take charge of a team's offense, but it is absolutely impossible to take charge of a team's defense. The so-called offense is the best defense. The victory theory of scoring one more goal than the opponent sounds heroic and has the heroic spirit of laughing at the sky, but such a team is usually killed bravely.

From this point of view, Lin Sen, who had wielded hundreds of millions of pounds in the transfer market just past for half a summer, did not even take any attacks on the defense line. This surprised Ferguson a little, Cahill was 8 million, Azpilicueta was 7 million, and David Luis was 12 million. The three people combined were less than David Silva's worth alone, which is very easy to misunderstand that Lin Sen attaches more importance to offense, but in Ferguson's view, this matter can also be understood from another aspect, that is, perhaps Lin Sen does not think that one or two superstars can change the defense of a team.

Superstars can indeed improve a team's defense, but it is definitely not a change. In this regard, the overall tacit understanding is always stronger than personal abilities.

As it turns out, Lin Sen's choice is not a problem, with four games. A defensive line that is exactly the same as last season, in his hands, is indifferent. Especially Kompany, who was often pulled into the midfield to play a guest midfielder last season, has even Ferguson felt a little jealous of his performance in these games in the new season.

Whether it is the success rate of one-on-one interception, key tackles, or even the passing timing when launching a counterattack, the Belgian has done his best, which is already the prototype of a world-class central defender. As long as Kompany can maintain a season, no, it only takes half a season to perform like this, then he will be enough to squeeze into the top defenders in the Premier League.

What instantly sublimated Manchester City's defense was not just because Kompany made great progress, but because Lin Sen set up two barriers in front of Manchester City's defense line, one soft and one win.

The soft barrier is Harvey Martinez or Vidal. Their role is a bit similar to an all-round midfielder, and the offense and defense will be automatically adjusted according to the needs of the field. In other words, they do everything. The hard barrier is De Jong. The Dutchman, who often participated in the offense last season, has significantly reduced the time he entered the frontcourt this season, but at the same time, his tackle and interception data are rising sharply.

Since Manchester United's game is only two and a half hours later than Manchester City's game, Ferguson has not had time to watch Manchester City's game against Arsenal, but Ferguson believes that this game can give him more information.

Of course, as for now, the road still needs to be taken step by step.

Linson needs to consider the mid-week UEFA Cup match first, and Ferguson also needs to consider the mid-week Champions Cup match. Moreover, unlike Manchester City, Manchester United will go away to challenge Turkish club Besquetas.

On September 17, Manchester City took the city stadium to face the Portuguese Nationals.

Compared with Porto, Benfica, the national teams, which often appear in the Champions League, are obviously much less well-known. This team, established in 1910, has never won the Portuguese Super League championship in history, and most of the team's history is not in the Portuguese Super League. It was not until this century that this team made its mark in Europe. The fourth place in the league in 20304 was their best-achieved season. In the following seasons, this team became a regular visitor to the Europa League, but they basically played the role of accompanying the prince to study.

The head coach of the National Team, Machado, is a coach with rich coaching experience. The National Team is the seventh team he coaches. Lin Sen is beyond his reach. Compared with a player who can have a professional life of twenty years and even a long life, the professional life of the coach is undoubtedly much longer. For example, Ferguson, who is already 67 years old, is still strong. But Lin Sen feels that his coaching career is definitely not more than 60 years old, although he is not opposed to staying in Manchester City for too long.

For a while, but it is unlikely that they will become Manchester City's godfather like Ferguson, because it has nothing to do with wishes, and even with the champion. Just like a marriage, no matter how they are in love at the beginning, how they respect each other like guests or even like glue, you can't guarantee that they will be able to grow old together. This is a beautiful wish, but there are so many factors that can affect them, especially today, where football is becoming more and more eager for quick success and instant benefits, as is reality.

So, after Manchester City, Lin Sen may coach two or three more teams, maybe a club or a national team, with a uncertain direction, who knows, but it is certain that Lin Sen does not have any ambitious goals to conquer the five major leagues. If you are destined to meet in the European arena.

Lin Sen naturally hopes to get a good start when he debuted in the European arena. However, because the weekend game is more important, Lin Sen still adopts a rotation system in this game. Only two players who started in Arsenal's game continued to appear on the starting list, one is Xavi Garcia and the other is Robinho.

In the last game, Robinho's unhappiness in the end seemed to be dispersed by the team's victory. When facing media questions, the "bicycle boy" also attributed the reason why he did not shake hands with Lin Sen when he ended up as his dissatisfaction with his performance. In fact, whether this is the case, the media is half-doubted, while Lin Sen doesn't believe it at all, because his eyes will not deceive him.

However, like his first meeting with Robinho, Lin Sen has no reason not to welcome his reconciliation.

In this game, Linson sent three forwards, Robinho, Adriano and Bellamy, but they were not playing 433, but still a 4231 position. Adriano broke out and Bellamy pulled to the right side, while Robinho appeared behind Adriano. The Nationals, who played as a 9 and a half away, showed their courage. They did not shrink away from home to defend, but boldly let go of their hands and feet to compete with Manchester City. But as Ferguson said before, I smiled at the sky and went to sleep after laughing. Because even Manchester City's current rotation lineup is not a lineup where the Nationals can attack when they want.

The Chinese Min team scored the first goal in the game. In the 13th minute, their midfielder Alberto scored a long shot at the front of the penalty area, which was also Manchester City's first goal in four games since the Gamble Cup. However, after this goal, the game no longer belonged to them. Just five minutes later, David Luis, who also played for Grapes last season, helped Manchester City equalize the score, which was a powerful header. Then before the end of the first half, Ireland copied the Nationals' first goal and also used a long shot at the front of the penalty area to exceed the score.

In the second half, Manchester City scored two more goals and finally locked the score at 4-1, ushering in a good start to the European game.

After the game, Machado's face was full of helplessness, but he was not much unwilling to accept it. As he said: Manchester City is the strongest team in this group, and it is not unacceptable to lose to Manchester City away. I am basically satisfied with the performance of the players. Lin Sen was satisfied with the team's performance. In addition, he praised David Louis, the defender who scored twice, and "thinked" that he had the potential to become a top defender.

The four-to-one score also allowed Manchester City to temporarily occupy the top spot in Group 1. In another game, although Athletic Bilbao defeated Vienna 3-0 at home, he could only be ranked second in the group because the number of goals was less than Manchester City. Linson knew that the chairman of Athletic Bilbao might regret why the team could not score another goal at this time, even if it was temporarily putting Manchester City in the second place, but he actually didn't need to wait too long.

Half a month later, in the second round of the UEFA Cup, Athletic Bilbao vs. Manchester City at home. That will be Linsen's second visit to the St. Mais Stadium as head coach.

Last season, he made a provocative move that shocked La Liga and then got the heaviest ticket in La Liga last season. Malaga is still good this season. Under the leadership of Tapia, Malaga won two wins and one draw in the first three league games. It seems that Malaga can forget Lin Sen, but if it weren't for that ticket, maybe Lin Sen and Malaga would have successfully renewed their contracts long ago, so there would be no subsequent story in the future, and history would have been changed.

But now, that's all if.

After receiving that ticket, Lin Sen remained silent at Athletic Bilbao. Even if their chairman repeatedly provoked him, everyone thought he had learned from his mistakes. But half a month later, Lin Sen would naturally go to the St. Mais Stadium in person and take his Manchester City to return his justice. By the way, tell everyone an old Chinese saying.
