Chapter 49 Sleep
Football, fucking damn.[
This sentence comes from Ferguson. After Manchester United magically reversed Bayern Munich in the Champions League final in 1999, Ferguson was excited to say this. People all attributed that shocking reversal to Manchester United's belief that never gives up, and then gave the football a golden crown. But, faith? Only with faith can there be thoughts. Can you believe that Ferguson still believes that his team can win the final championship at the last moment of the game?
Obviously, Ferguson didn't expect it. So he said that football deserves damn.
If fate is destined to win the final championship, why both teams have to tease each other like this? But this damn football is the most popular game. However, even Ferguson cannot always be the last profiter.
The post-match press conference became Lin Sen's one-man show.
Because Ferguson did not attend at all, he asked his assistant coach Mike Ferran to replace him. Mike Ferran, who was destined to be able to follow the rules, was destined to be a supporting role. In fact, Lin Sen had a premonition about Ferguson's absence, because when the handshake after the game, the old Lord obviously looked bad, and the light emitted from his body clearly told Lin Sen that he was very unhappy at that time.
No one can be happy if he is reversed.
Ferguson believed that he would stop in front of the player passage and shake hands with Lin Sen. It was considered a "outside-law grace". As for demeanor? What is demeanor? Lin Sen only knew that if he lost in this game, he would definitely wish Ferguson would not shake hands with him.
Although he was singing a one-man show, Lin Sen did not actually talk about it because he won a reversal that many people think is worthy of big book. For this game, he just gave an Erixon-style answer familiar to the British media: We played poorly in the first half, and we played well in the second half, and I was satisfied with the result of the game. Then, Lin Sen closed his mouth and waited for the press conference to enter the next stage.
"Is this game the best game Manchester City has played this season?" from The Guardian.
——If the game is only forty-five minutes, Lin Sen is a bit cheap and is still good at it. But this is really his real idea. Does anyone want to fall behind two goals in the half against Manchester United?
"This is your first time fighting Sir Ferguson. What do you think of him?" from The Sun.
——He is a great coach. Lin Sen is concise and to the point, this is not a problem at all. What does this reporter, who is afraid of the world's chaos, want to do?
"Robinho failed to play in full in two consecutive league games. Does this mean that there has been any change in Robinho's position in the team?" from "Mirror".
——Anyway, his position is either a forward or a winger. Lin Sen pretends to be deaf and dumb, and Robinho's problem is destined to be impossible to just say it.
"What do you think about Bell's performance?" from the Daily Telegraph.
——Now. He is worth 30 million. Lin Sen's tone is very certain, so sure that he can't be more certain.
...
After the game, there is a day off. This time, Lin Sen has no reason to deprive the players of the holiday again, although the next one is still a double match.
This is Manchester City's first vacation in half a month. Although it only takes a short day, the whole city can have a good mood, including Chapman who "threatened" to let the players wash their jerseys by themselves, and Mubarak who unexpectedly went to the locker room to celebrate with the players after the game. In this game, Mubarak, who was determined to be watching the game on site, did not appear in the stands in the end, but he finally rushed back before the game ended.
Of course, what Mubarak, who came here, could only do to cheer him up. Although he was the chairman, he was actually just a manager, but not a real boss, so naturally he could not do anything like a big hand and a million bonus. After celebrating with the team members, Mubarak and Linsen chatted privately for a few minutes. Mubarak invited Linsen to have dinner tomorrow night, and Linsen nodded without hesitation. Speaking of which, when he was in Malaga, he often ate around. When he arrived in Manchester, his habit did not change. Linsen often went to Tang Hua for free because he found that Tang Hua's cooking skills were unexpectedly good, at least better than him.
After agreeing to Mubarak, Linsen went to the press conference.
"Bell is back!" The Sun used a small idea to "plagiarize" the title of a movie Batman and "plagiarize" the cover of the movie, but Batman's face was replaced by Gareth Ball's face. The only one who did not "plagiarize" might be the name, because the starring actor of this movie is also called Ball.
"After Manchester City signed Bale from Tottenham for 27 million in the summer, many people doubted whether Bale deserves such a high price. Because since being acquired by Tottenham, the Welsh genius plagued by injuries has not given a convincing performance, and this doubt also reached its peak at the beginning of the season. Because Bale, who played the whole game, handed over zero goals and zero assists. But now, this doubt can be calmed down, because it took less than twenty minutes to tell everyone with his performance: he is still the genius who can be compared with Giggs! It is worth mentioning that in this game, it was precisely two Welsh stars who decided the game. Giggs gave two assists, while Bale decided the game with one pass and one shot."
The Sun is not the only newspaper that gives all the praise to the Welsh people. Manchester Evening News and Mirror have set their sights on him, but in fact, the focus of this round is not the only Manchester derby. Of course, this game is far from as ups and downs as the Manchester derby. This is the London derby: Chelsea vs. Tottenham.
After losing to Manchester United in the last round, Redknapp's team lost a score of terrible at Stamford Bridge: zero to three. This game is Chelsea's sixth victory this season, with six consecutive victories. Under the leadership of Ancelotti, Chelsea has been tied and scored 18 points in the new season in six games. However, even so, it may be difficult for Ancelotti to win the title of coach of the month this month, and the reason is still the same as last month: weight.
"September's Best Coach, Lin." This is a conclusion that Andy Gray, a commentator of Sky Sports, made after the live broadcast, and his tone was certain. This is not his preference for Lin Sen, but in his opinion, the best coach in September is obviously still unsuspecting, because this is destined to be Lin Sen's month. There are only three league games in September, and Lin Sen has won two of them: one against Arsenal and the other against Manchester United.
Chelsea fans have every reason to complain about Ancelotti's six-game winning streak, but they still have to accept this fact.
In September, Lin Sen was even better.
----------------
Lin Sen can finally have a good night's sleep.
Even if you chew two hard bones, you can't even bother with your mouth, let alone two completely different hard bones.
After the analysis after the game, Lin Sen gave it to Tang Hua as always. What Lin Sen didn't expect was that when Lin Sen assigned him this task, Tang Hua, who seemed to be reluctant to speak, finally said "apologize" to him for his persistence in the midfield of the game, because Robinho, who insisted on replacing at the time, finally scored the goal in the game, which made Tang Hua feel that his suggestion at that time was really self-righteous.
Unexpectedly, Lin Sen, who had so many thoughts about Tang Hua, couldn't help laughing when he heard Tang Hua's apology. This may be the legendary boss who moved his mouth and ran away. Lin Sen had already left the small episode behind, but Tang Hua could not care because Lin Sen didn't care.
However, as Lin Sen thought at the time, although he would definitely make a substitution when he replaced him, the time he changed him needs to be considered.
As a technical coach, Tang Hua's suggestions at that time were not wrong from his perspective. Since we had to make changes, it would be better to do it early. However, Tang Hua did not have Lin Sen's eyes. He did not know the physical condition of the players on the court, and Tang Hua was not in Lin Sen's position. He did not know that in a team like Manchester City, what needs to be considered is not only competitive factors, but also other factors, such as being replaced by a player. This is particularly important for a new coach like Lin Sen.
As for Robinho's goal in the second half, it was completely unexpected. Lin Sen was not as good as that, and could predict that Robinho would score in the second half, so he chose not to replace him. Although in Tang Hua's opinion, this is the fact.
Therefore, for Tang Hua's apology, Lin Sen can only say one more thing in addition to patting his shoulder like before: Don't care, if you have the opportunity to be the head coach in the future, you will naturally understand.
Seeing that Tang Hua was still half-believing and half-doubted, Lin Sen thought about it and added another task to him: after the post-match analysis of Manchester United, plus the post-match analysis of Arsenal in the last league, and then make a comparison report, especially in the midfield.
Regarding the difference between Arsenal and Manchester United's midfield, Lin Sen thought it was a difference in position when playing against Manchester United, but he always felt that there must be something else in this. He did not expect that Manchester City could defend as firm as Mount Tai in the game against Arsenal. The same defense was almost a sieve in the first half of the game against Manchester United. Although Manchester City withstood the pressure in the second half, the way it was not what Lin Sen wanted. Foul tactics can become a means of response, but they must never become a conventional method. Lin Sen did not want to face Manchester United next round, and he had to use foul tactics from the beginning, not to mention that in the next round, Manchester United's midfield will undoubtedly be stronger, because their core Scholes will not be absent all the time.
After seeing Tang Hua off, Lin Sen closed the door, returned to the bedroom, pulled up all the curtains, and the whole room was suddenly dark. Then, Lin Sen threw himself on the bed, closed his eyes, and made himself even darker.
