Sometimes you have to do something that you don’t like to do, even if it seems to you as a purely self-inflicted person.

For Lin Sen, bombarding the referee is such a thing.

Therefore, even if the referee's many punishments are biased, Lin Sen still has a muddle-by-witness attitude. No one can always take advantage of it, and naturally no one will always suffer. These two are not so absolute. In this regard, the football field is still a relatively fair place. However, when one day others don't let you muddle through it, you have to leave it alone.

If you are a careful fan, you will find that this time Lin Sen openly put himself in the opposite direction of the referee, which is so similar to the last time he was in Malaga. The reason is that the player was injured and the referee was indifferent. He did not accept questions from reporters at the post-match press conference... The difference is that Lin Sen obviously learned to be "benefit" this time, and did not choose to be furious at the time, but chose to release his anger at the post-match press conference.

What is the difference between the two? For the referee, there is no difference. Lin Sen has had a reputational impact on them, but for Lin Sen, the difference lies in the punishment result. Last time, he suffered a three-game ban plus a penalty of 10,000 euros. This time, he was not banned, but was fined 3,000 pounds.

However, Lin Sen also knew that this was not all his "credit", including Bale and the club.

Bell's injury was as Lin Sen's previous prediction. He had a cruciate ligament strain on his right knee, but the situation was far worse than Lin Sen imagined. After the instrument examination, the team doctor team had already given Lin Sen the recovery period estimate: six weeks, which is still a conservative estimate.

Lin Sen, who was once a team doctor, has faced the problem of cruciate ligament. He understood the troubles of this part very well. Before, when he was at Atletico Madrid, Aguero and Mota had been troubled by injuries in this part for a long time. Therefore, after the team doctor team gave the results, Lin Sen knew that Bale could not escape the fine needles in his hand.

Obviously, when Bale's injury was officially announced to the public, the outside world would undoubtedly be biased towards Manchester City, which would invisibly put public opinion pressure on the FA and make it difficult to offend the public. The FA will not understand this simple truth.

In addition to the advantages of public opinion, the public relations behind Manchester City club also played a huge role. Club chairman Mubarak actually met Lin Sen on the night when Manchester City returned to Manchester after the game and clearly stated that the club's support for him. However, because the club was still in Han Xuan, this silence was temporarily broken, but this silence was also broken after Bale's injury was announced. Manchester City strongly announced its support for Lin Sen on its official website.

Under the influence of various factors, the FA, which has always been tough, can only deal with the situation.

However, after the FA announced the result, Lin Sen did not feel much relieved, but was in a very complicated mood. On the one hand, Bale's injury made him a little helpless, and on the other hand, it made him feel relieved. Just like Mubarak's words on the night after the game made him think of Sangs. Sangs did not speak up at the same time. Whether in the public or private, Lin Sen was not unable to let go, but for a head coach, the chairman's verbal promises are sometimes the most important and sometimes the least important. At this time, it is undoubtedly important.

If, but unfortunately there is no if.

Lin Sen, who lost Bale but had no worries, led Manchester City to visit Villa Park Stadium three days later to play the second leg of the League Cup semi-finals. Although Manchester City still lost the ball in the end, Aston Villa's head coach O'Neal was still as unforgiving as ever, but the only goal in the game was not enough to prevent Aston Villa from advancing. The total score was 3-2. Manchester City entered the finals of major events for the first time since entering the FA Cup finals in 1981.

The opponents who met with Manchester City in the finals were next door to them. Last season's champion Manchester United eliminated Blackburn with a total score of 6-4, which is also the final of Manchester United entering the season for two consecutive years. The final will be held at Wembley Playing Stadium as always, and it will be February 28th.

Then, before he could enjoy the joy of entering the finals, Lin Sen received a news that was not good. The person who told him the news was his agent Mendes.

Real Madrid is interested in Di Maria.

Lin Sen was not surprised at this news. Speaking of which, last summer, only Real Madrid could compare with Manchester City in transfer investment in Europe, but with the same investment, Manchester City was much worse than Real Madrid. With just one Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid won the attention of the whole world. This combined all the transfers of Manchester City last summer, which was incomparable to others. However, even so, Real Madrid still could only fall under Barcelona this season. It was not that Pellegrini's poor performance in leading the team, but because Barcelona was too outstanding. Lin Sen had personally experienced this last year.

In this case, although Real Madrid's frontcourt is already luxurious enough, they obviously will not stop in the transfer market. The next stop in memory is Real Madrid's Di Maria, which is normal to attract Real Madrid's attention at this time. Of course, Di Maria's transfer in memory is not during this winter transfer period, but during this summer. It is precisely based on this point that Lin Sen insisted on the priority refusal of Di Maria last summer.

"What's Benfica's reaction?" Lin Sen asked first, then thought for a while, and added: "Can you reveal it?"

The so-called right of first refusal, as for the current example, if Real Madrid and Manchester City offer quotations at the same time and the quotations are the same, then Benfica must sell Di Maria to Manchester City. However, there must be a premise, that is, when Benfica decides to sell, so the first thing Lin Sen thinks of is Benfica's attitude. Obviously, if Real Madrid really quotes and the price can satisfy Benfica, then Manchester City will not be able to not get news.

As for why the last sentence was added, it was because in fact Lin Sen asked, it was not what Mendes had to disclose.

Mendes, who had been a human being, could not know the meaning of Lin Sen's second half. He immediately joked: "Lin, if you are so polite next time, I think I'd better not tell you about similar news next time."

"Okay, I'm pretentious." Lin Sen laughed at Mendes' words.

"Real Madrid is just an intention for the time being, and Benfica may not know it yet."

"Hmm?" Lin Sen was stunned for a moment. Benfica didn't know yet?

"Because Bardano is looking for me, I don't think they'll go to Benfica before I nod."

Mendes' voice that said was very dull, as if he was just saying something ordinary, but the content of this sentence was actually domineering. However, they do have such confidence, and what they said was true. Because Ronaldo's transfer has become a guest of honor for Florentino, and Mendes, who has almost unified the domestic football agency in Portugal, no matter which identity, it is unreasonable to let Real Madrid go around.

What's more, finding an agent before looking for a club is originally a common trick for Real Madrid to sign. Of course, this is not a new trick. Lin Sen suddenly understood it, and then he continued to ask.

"What do you mean?"

"Tell the truth?" Mendes was a rare constipation, but his tone was closed.

"Of course." Lin Sen said with certainty.

"For our agents, it is important to really make a quote." Mendes said lightly, "So, Manchester City is still in pole position for the time being."

Lin Sen was silent, and he easily heard the keywords in Mendes' words: For the time being. In other words, Di Maria's transfer to Manchester City or Real Madrid is not important to him. The reason why he notified Lin Sen was to give a favor to the water, because Manchester City had the right to buy Di Maria. Even if Mendes didn't say it now, Lin Sen would also know the news when Real Madrid made a offer, but at that time, whether it was for Lin Sen or Mendes, the room for operation would not be so great.

After a while of silence, Lin Sen asked another question, another question that made him feel a little nervous.

"So, what about Di Maria? Does he know that Real Madrid is interested in him?"

"Of course." Mendes didn't keep it in hiding this time, and his voice was still calm. "Lin, he is my client like you. I can hide this matter from anyone, including Benfica, but Angel alone cannot, he must know."

Lin Sen smiled bitterly when he heard Mendes' answer.

Although he actually hopes to hear Mendes say that he did not tell Real Madrid's interest, Mendes's words are correct. As an agent, Mendes cannot do that in this matter. Think about it, if Mendes also concealed similar things from him in the summer, he would know what he would feel. What's more, this is not a matter of human relationships, but a matter of professional ethics.

"I understand." Lin Sen, who had passed the matter in his mind, did not immediately tell Mendes what he was going to do, but said.

Then, the call ends here.

After hanging up the phone, Mendes, who was in Lisbon, Portugal, held his cell phone in his hand, with a playful expression.

After Bardano found himself, Mendes actually made some trade-offs on whether to tell Lin Sen or not, but finally chose to tell him. Lin Sen's reaction surprised him a little. From beginning to end, Lin Sen's problem was very simple. Use a few keywords, namely Benfica, his agent, and Di Maria.

There are only a few who decide to make a transfer, and Lin Sen is only asking these few. But one point Lin Sen missed, that is Real Madrid. Lin Sen did not ask Mendes what Real Madrid's attitude is, whether it is really determined or just a test. Lin Sen seemed to be very sure of Real Madrid's attitude, which surprised Mendes, because even he himself could not see whether Valdano was really interested.

It is said that talking to smart people is easy, because the other person can always understand your thoughts, but in fact, talking to smart people is also very tiring, because it is difficult for you to grasp the other person's thoughts.r1152
