On September 25, Manchester City was visiting Sheffield, South Yorkshire, northern England, to hold the third round of the League Cup, which was a game of 32 to 16. Manchester City, who played as a substitute, finally narrowly defeated Sheffield on Wednesday with a score of 11-0 and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals. |[2][3][w][x]

On September 29, in the seventh round of the Premier League, facing West Ham United, which had suffered two consecutive losses, it seemed like Bale who had recovered his form in one game. He made two passes and one shot in this game, helping Manchester City to give West Ham United three-to-one three-game losing streak.

After this game, Manchester City, who had one game less, finally had two more goals and goals, surpassing Chelsea, who had unexpectedly lost to Wigan 1-3 away, and topped the Premier League standings for the first time this season. After this game, Andy Gray's previous conclusion: Lin Sen became the best coach of September, and there is no suspense.

After the seven-round league match, except for Manchester City and Chelsea, which ranked first and second, Manchester United quickly regained the pace of victory after being reversed by Manchester City in the last round. They beat Stoke City 2-0 and continued to tie the standings. Following this round, Liverpool, who swept Hull City with a score of 6-1 at home, Tottenham, who also won, followed behind Liverpool...

Since then, the top six in the Premier League standings have been completely occupied by several Premier League giants. Manchester City and Tottenham have become two temporary surprises. Manchester City, which has expanded its armaments in the summer transfer market, finally got a ranking that matches their transfer investment. Tottenham, who lost Bale, also performed surprisingly under the leadership of Redknapp. What is more disappointing is that Arsenal. As one of the four traditional giants in the Premier League, Wenger's team, who has never been able to transfer in the summer, started with a parabola, losing to the two teams in Manchester one after another, allowing them to rank sixth in the league standings after seven rounds...

Of course, although there are some rankings, the points gap between several teams is actually not big. Manchester City and Chelsea scored the same points. Then Manchester United and Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur three teams scored the same points, followed by Arsenal Aston Villa scored the same points. The gap between the three teams is only one game.

Therefore, it can be said that the situation is still a fog in the seven-round Premier League.

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

Manchester City has temporarily topped the list, which has made many Manchester City fans ecstatic. This joy is directly reflected in the number of Manchester City fans lying outside the fence watching Manchester City training.

However, for the team's head coach Lin Sen, he still welcomes fans to visit the team's training within the time allowed to watch. He even regularly asks his players to sign the fans during training, but for the standings, he continues his indifference during the standings. In his opinion, the standings can only reflect its true meaning when the league is over. Other times, your position on the top is temporary. You may be better. But it may be worse.

He is more concerned about the next game than the standings, and Manchester City's next game is not the league, but the Europa League group stage against Athletic Bilbao in the mid-week.

On October 1st, Linson took almost all his players who could play on board a plane to Bilbao, northern Spain, except for one person: Xavi Martinez.

Lin Sen knew that when facing a situation that his old club could encounter any professional player, he also knew that this was the favorite "reversal" drama of many media. But he still asked Harvey Martinez to stay in Manchester. Of course, this was not because he suspected Harvey Martinez's professional qualities, but because he did not want to cause trouble for both sides. Yes, it was both sides.

Linsen doesn't want to cause trouble for Xavi Martinez, because Bilbao has trained him after all, and the way Manchester City took him away from Bilbao is not so incest. Linsen has seen the atmosphere of the St. Mais Stadium. Xavi Martinez may be able to handle the game well, but it is difficult for him to handle the relationship with the stadium.

Lin Sen didn't want to give himself any trouble, because he would not retain any strength in this game, so any player who went to Bilbao must be focused on it.

Manchester City just landed at Bilbao Airport, and the city allowed all Manchester City players to see its "friendliness". Dozens of Bilbao fans "welcome" Manchester City at the airport. They held various insulting slogans and spoke in all kinds of unpleasant words, "welcome" to Manchester City team that had just walked out of the passage. Manchester City players who had been vaccinated by Lin Sen were not squinting at this, but not looking at the eyes does not mean they can't hear it. It is impossible to spit on their faces. Everyone's faces are inevitably a little tolerant anger, and Lin Sen, who has become the target of those people's attention, sneered throughout the whole process.

OK, very good, now I've even been exempted from pre-match mobilization.

In fact, if Lin Sen hadn't poached Harvey Martinez during the summer transfer, Lin Sen would probably have not made Bilbao fans grit their teeth. After all, Lin Sen's holiday with Bilbao was the same thing that happened last season, but after that, Lin Sen stopped. However, their chairman used this to provoke several times. Over time, they gradually forgot. Compared to losing, they always forget things that take advantage of the benefits faster.

But Xavi Martinez aroused their anger, and the UEFA Cup just happened to meet Manchester City, which evoked their memories.

Two days ago, the unwilling president of Bilbao, Marcusa, once again fired through the media: Without our consent, they poached Harvey Martinez, but I can tell them that even if they have the money to poach the whole of Europe, they cannot poach Bilbao's soul. Here, if I can decide, I will not sell a single blade of grass to them!

That afternoon, Lin Sen attended the pre-match press conference, but he only said one thing at the press conference: That is to see you after the game. Then he left Bilbao's head coach Capalos to sing a one-man show alone.

After going to England, Lin Sen, who has been very cooperative in the eyes of the English media, seemed to have become that rebellious thorn when he returned to Spain. This really made the English media present not know whether to be happy or disappointed. No matter where he went, the media liked the topic. Look at the Spanish colleagues present, Wayne, who came to Bilbao with the team, smiled bitterly in his heart.

England has never lacked personality coaches, and Ferguson is an evergreen tree. The old Lord's laughter and scolding has long become a major feature of the Premier League. However, when dealing with Ferguson, reporters in the whole England know that it depends on Ferguson's mood. When he is in a good mood, he makes a lot of witty words, and when he is in a bad mood, he is sprayed with blood. Anyway, you can only think of yourself being unlucky. Therefore, the English media miss Mourinho because the Portuguese cooperates with Ferguson, but they do not lack Ferguson's ability to create topics.

The next day, when Lin Sen walked out of the passage of the St. Mais Stadium, the entire St. Mais Stadium immediately reported a harsh boo for more than a minute. However, such boo did not make Lin Sen, who once dared to provoke fans in the stands, retreating. He sat in the coach's seat as usual, and let Tang Hua next to him look at him with an almost admiring look for the first time.

Yes, Tang Hua finally sat on the coaching seat because he had passed the coaching assessment. Although he was not the most advanced type, he finally got one of the four seats next to Lin Sen.

"Don't learn from him, you don't know what he did here last year, he's just a lunatic."

Perhaps because she noticed Tang Hua's gaze, Dina, who was sitting next to Tang Hua, felt that a good young man could not be misled by Lin Sen, so she kindly reminded her. However, her reminder made Tang Hua smile, because Dina definitely didn't know, just because of what Lin Sen did here last year, Lin Sen didn't know how many fans she had in China.

Compared to going with the flow, the ripples caused by going upstream are never smaller.

As Lin Sen planned before, in this game, Lin Sen sent his main lineup: Robben, Bale, David Silva and Suarez. All four major attackers were on the court. He even replaced Vidal with Ireland with stronger attack ability in the midfield, leaving only one defensive player De Jong. So much so that the commentator of the broadcast game exclaimed that Lin Sen's formation was 4141, not 4231.

Faced with Manchester City's aggressiveness, Athletic Bilbao is not to be outdone. They did not show weakness because of Manchester City's strong attack line. Four-four, Caparos adopted a formation even further than the 4231 he used to before. He directly added a striker. In addition to Lorent, Diaz, who was introduced from Real Sociedad this season, was also on the court.

Never show weakness! This is the Basque lion's determination!

Facing the roar of the Basque Lions, it seemed that even God was moved by the momentum of the Basque Lions, because the first goal was not Manchester City, but Athletic Bilbao.

In the eleventh minute, Suarez made a mistake in passing, Athletic Bilbao intercepted the ball and formed a quick counterattack. Yester got rid of Ireland on the left and then passed the ball into Manchester City's penalty area with a 45-degree diagonal pass. Lorent, who was tall and big, grabbed the first point and headed the ball, but the ball was blocked by Hart, who was quick to react, and Bridge cleared it not far away, and Orbaiz scored a long shot from the front of the penalty area.

The score became one to zero.

After the goal, the St. Mais Stadium was like a pot of boiled porridge. Lin Sen, who was sitting in the coaching seat, could hear countless shouts with his surname sounded behind him. Of course, there were various adjectives in front of his surname, but this was not a problem, because even before the goal was scored, these shouts never stopped.

However, at this time, another thing happened, which made Dina, who was sitting aside, feel that it is beyond tolerance.

After sending the ball into Manchester City's goal, Albaiz shook away the teammate who kept running up to try to catch him celebrating with him, instead rushed directly to the coach's seat of Manchester City, and then made an action.
Chapter completed!
