Chapter 79 Royce

If Manchester City wins the final title after the season, it is destined to be the most expensive title in football history.+If not, it will be the most expensive joke in football history.

Last summer, Manchester City spent a huge amount of money to introduce ten players, the most expensive of which was David Silva, 30 million, followed by Bale, 27 million, and Robben, 25 million. These three transactions alone cost Manchester City 82 million. In January this year, just when everyone thought Manchester City had finally come to an end, Manchester City took action one after another, winning Di Maria for 20 million and signing Lin Sen's old subordinate Reus for 15 million. This made their total transfer investment this season no longer cost hundreds of millions, but approaching 200 million.

Regarding the crazy Manchester City, the British media can only lament that Manchester City is rich and powerful, and the British tabloid who likes to dig out others' ** has begun to dig out the tricks in these two deals. Peter Ross, a famous column "Poisonous Tongue" commentator of the Sun, wrote a transfer evaluation of the Premier League teams this season's winter transfer, which criticized the two teams.

One team is Arsenal. He believes that Wenger's re-signing Campbell was simply kicked by a donkey. A player who had not even gained a foothold in the English League Two before, in a blink of an eye, actually played for Arsenal's Champions League, which was simply a big deal. And his other criticism was Lin Sen. Peter Ross first affirmed Manchester City's ambitions, but he believed that Di Maria's inability to join immediately was a "miss" from Manchester City. He blamed Lin Sen for this mistake, believing that the transfer eventually became a reality, and that

It is because Di Maria and Linsen are the same agent. If Di Maria's strength is confirmed by Peter Ross, then Reus will be hacked out by him. He directly satirized Linsen's habit of collecting "glass products", because his "glass man" Bale was just injured, and now he bought another glass man because Reus only played eight times for Malaga this season. He scored two goals, and the time he missed the game was injured and missed the game was almost two months old. But just because he was an old subordinate, Linsen spent 15 million for him...

In short, these two transactions are closely related to Lin Sen.

Gossip is inevitable, especially in England.

Linson didn't intend to pay attention to Peter Rose's comments. Just like Angel Gonzalez last season, they made a living by saliva, and you made a living by grades. If you respond, it just hits their minds.

Moreover, their conclusions may not be true, but their basis is facts. He and Di Maria are indeed the same agent, and Reus is indeed his old subordinate. There is no need to respond at this time. Apart from the fact that the more he describes, it will only make them more and more excited. After all, such rumors can only be the reason for them to attack themselves at two points in time. One is now, because Lin Sen cannot prove that his choice is correct. The other is after the season. And if Lin Sen's choice is proven to be wrong.

Simply put, if Reus and Di Maria end up performing poorly, or are not worthy of their value, then Linson will be responsible for this, even if he wins the championship in the end. This will also become his black spot. But if Reus and Di Maria end up giving convincing performance, then the black spot will become a red spot.

Gossip will become praises.

Such things have been proven in Mourinho. Compared to Linson's current situation, they are Quaresma and Carvalho. The former suffered Waterloo in Inter Milan, and Mourinho also suffered. When Carvalho succeeded at Chelsea, people may not necessarily say that Mourinho is nepotism.

For Di Maria, who will join next season, Linsen is destined to bear some criticism in a short period of time, but for Reus who has joined, Linsen's criticism does not take too long.

Reus is in good condition.

At least in Lin Sen's opinion, his physical condition is not a problem and his mood is also good. Therefore, Reus, who joined almost at the last moment of the transfer window closing, had just two days of joining, and he made his debut at Manchester City. Of course, the reason why Lin Sen dared to do this was because of his opponent.

Manchester City's opponent is a relatively unfamiliar team, Skenthorpe United.

Skenthorpe United, who successfully advanced to the English Championship through the play-off last season, is unknown. In the birthplace of modern football, like many other English teams, Skenthorpe United is also a team with a century-old history. Although they have never advanced to the Premier League in history, today's game is not the Premier League, but the fourth round of the FA Cup, which is a game of 32 to 16.

In this game, Lin Sen still implemented his rotation system without fail, and almost all the main players got a chance to rest, including goalkeeper Jiwen, who was also replaced by Hart. Lin Sen also summoned two young men, Boyata and Guideti from the youth team. The latter got the opportunity to start, while the former got the opportunity to play in the second half of the game, because at the end of the first half, Manchester City had already led by 3-0.

Reus performed well. Although he did not score a goal, he assisted with the second goal. However, Lin Sen still replaced him with Suarez in the 60th minute of the second half.

Reus is destined to be unable to get too much time for him to adapt slowly. It is not that Reus does not need it. Whether compared with La Liga or Bundesliga, the Premier League's game style is completely different, with faster pace and more intense physical confrontation. Reus' physical conditions have always been his shortcomings. Although Lin Sen deliberately strengthened his training in this regard when he was in Malaga, it is obviously far from enough to reach the level of "confrontation" in the Premier League. But Lin Sen still introduced Reus. With a body, he can certainly adapt to the Premier League better, but the body is not the only condition to gain a foothold in the Premier League.

Skenthorpe's strength is certainly not comparable to that of Premier League teams, so this game is definitely not comparable to that of Premier League games. However, the English team is in line with each other, but the style is the same. This game has become an excellent opportunity for Reus to "taste" the Premier League. Now it seems that Reus's tasting effect is pretty good. Of course, since it is a tasting, it must be done in moderation. What's more, Lin Sen is planning to let Reus play in the next game.

The final game was four-to-two. It seemed that Skenthorp played well in the second half because if they only looked at the second half, they were even the leading side, but in fact, the game was still calm because Manchester City scored four goals first, while Skenthorp's second goal occurred in stoppage time. Of course, not all games with huge strength can be calm. After Manchester United broke into an upset home court in the last round of the FA Cup and was overturned by Leeds United, the one who shot this round was Arsenal. They were beaten by Stoke City 3-1 away.

Since then, the four traditional giants in this season's FA Cup have gone second.

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

The media expecting Linson to fall a bit on Reus is destined to be disappointed. Because after giving assists in his debut, the thin German made his first appearance in the Premier League, and once again gave key assists to help Adriano equalize the score for Manchester City. Although he ultimately failed to help the team score three-pointers against Hul City, Reus' performance was remarkable.

In the 26th round of the Premier League, he faced Bolton at home. Although Petrov returned from injury, Linson still chose to let Reus start in this game. Reus did not disappoint Linson. In the 31st minute, he received a pass from Robben on the left, opening the first record for Manchester City, and scored his first goal at Manchester City, and this goal also became the only goal in this game.

Three games, two assists and one goal, for a winger, even the most demanding critic, is impeccable for such results. In the post-match press conference against Bolton, it is not revenge. Lin Sen deliberately teased Peter Rose, who had criticized him before, and said: My glass products are not bad, is Mr. Peter Rose?

After twenty-six rounds of games, the Premier League this season has exceeded half, and the winning situation is still confusing. However, judging from the entire standings, the gap between various groups such as the Champions League and the European War Zone has begun to emerge.

The number one is still Ancelotti's Chelsea, but their lead is still not big. Although Manchester City had fallen into Hul City before, Chelsea also fell to Everton in the last round. They lost to their opponents one-two. However, because they won the make-up game, they are currently able to lead the standings with a four-point advantage. Manchester City, which has one round less, has 16 wins, 8 draws and one loss, followed by 56 points, followed by Manchester United's 54 points and Arsenal's 51 points. This is the number one group in the standings. There are more than a dozen rounds in the league. Theoretically, the top four teams still retain the hope of winning the championship. Manchester's two teams are the closest. Basically, as long as Chelsea is not careful, they may lose the initiative.
