In Lin Sen's eyes, Inter Milan in front of him is still powerful.-

Etoo, Sneider, Diego Milito, Macon, Cesar... Inter Milan has almost more than half of the team, and under Linson's eyes, they are all shining with golden light.

Of course, Manchester City, who wears another "color" jersey on the court, is not bad either.

Robben, David Silva, Suarez, Bale, Kompany... Although Manchester City's full-body radiates are not as many players as Inter Milan for the time being, almost most of the players are just one step away.

No one knows the direction of the two teams on the court better than Linson himself. Both Inter Milan and Manchester City are the most successful teams in Europe last season, but starting this season, the two teams will go in two different directions. If the peak period of a team is compared to the sun at 12 noon, then Manchester City is now the sun at * o'clock in the morning, and it is far from the time to shoot the most radiant. Inter Milan is the sun at 2 or 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Although it is still unavailable to look directly at, it has already passed the hottest stage.

The sun is rising, the sun is scorching, the sunset, the night, the dawn... no team can escape such a cycle, and the only difference lies in the length of each cycle. Lin Sen doesn't believe that Benitez doesn't know what state he takes over Inter Milan, but obviously, he made a mistake.

Every head coach has his own style, and he will inevitably bring his style to the team. This is also the reason why the club hired him. But everything is just right, otherwise it will be easy to have problems. Benitez is bad. He is too eager to engrave his own mark on Inter Milan, or too eager to erase the traces Mourinho left in this team.

Linson, who accepted Manchester City last season, was also drastic. But he never deliberately rejected what Mark Hughes left behind. This is not that Linson is broad-minded, but he doesn't need to worry about anything with Mark Hughes, while Benitez is different. He even took off Mourinho's portrait on the day of taking office. Although it was just a rumor, it was obvious that there was no wind and no waves.

However, what Linson can do does not mean that Benitez can do it, because the two face two completely different situations: Mourinho is not Mark Hughes. Inter Milan left by Mourinho is not Manchester City left by Mark Hughes.

"Desire" is fast, but it is not achieved.

Benitez, who couldn't wait to play high-level defense, forgot that this was a team with an average age of over 30, and he was facing a team with an average age of less than 25 years old.

Just as the game entered its final stage, Manchester City broke the deadlock.

Robben was eating the opponent's raw on the right, and cut in and shot in the goal again by Cesar, who had become a "Saint Pass" in Inter Milan fans, and this corner kick caused Manchester City's goal. David Silva took a corner kick from the left, Lucio headed the ball not far from the penalty area. After Bale got the ball, he directly "drawed" and shot. This time, Cesar, whose vision was blocked, could only look at the ball and sigh.

The goal conceded in the last ten minutes was a situation that no head coach wanted to see.

Benitez, who had no way out, immediately made three substitutions, Pandev, Balotelli, and Coutinho all played. Especially the latter two played, directly reducing the average age of Inter Milan on the field by two years. Lin Sen made a move, Xavi Martinez replaced David Silva, and Falcao replaced Suarez. While maintaining pressure on Inter Milan on both sides, he began to build a high wall in the middle.

Ten minutes later, the whistle rang, and Lin Sen raised his arms high to celebrate Manchester City's first championship in the new season.

The score is one to zero.

The simplest score, the most affordable victory.

Especially when a game decides a championship.

Inter Milan's six-time champion dream is shattered. Manchester City proves that his newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

At the post-match press conference, the game was actually not that important, but it was tantamount to the fact that Benitez, who failed an "exam" that was extremely important to him personally, was stubborn: the players actually played well, the problem was that there was a problem with the team in the linkage. Stankovic? If I make another choice, I will still let Deyan appear in the same position.

As for Lin Sen, he praised almost all the players who appeared.

why not?

Not only Inter Milan today, but also Liverpool before, plus Tottenham Hotspur in the first round, after losing the irrelevant Community Shield Cup, Manchester City won two wins and one draw in three rounds. No matter from any angle, it is real that Manchester City was in the warm-up match, which is just an illusion.

The next day, the English media blew Manchester City to the clouds again, just as they did at the end of last season, but at this time, they would definitely not have imagined what would happen next. Because even Lin Sen did not expect it.

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

On August 31, the last day of the summer transfer market closure, Tottenham Hotspur created a big surprise. They used 8 million to introduce Dutch star Van der Fate from Real Madrid, while the major players who had already completed the transfer work were calm and quiet, which naturally included Manchester City.

Due to the European Super Cup, Manchester City's away challenge to Sunderland was delayed until this day, and with the power of winning the European Super Cup, Manchester City bombed the opponent's goal for 90 minutes in this game, approaching twenty shots, and even used several boxes of shells. However, Manchester City did not knock on the opponent's closed big "goal". Then, Darren Bent, who was not careful and was walking in the whole game, suddenly rushed out and fired a cold gun.

Just in the middle of the eyebrows.

The frustrated Manchester City had to swallow a zero-to-one loss.

On September 11, Manchester City, which had been resting for more than a week, was reunited, but this time they still did not win at home. Blackburn, who had almost no counterattack against Manchester City last season, even scored the first goal in this game. Under the gaze of tens of thousands of home fans, Manchester City equalized the score not too late, but after the goal, Manchester City fell into the dilemma of being in a position to win and not scoring.

In the end, both sides could only shake hands and make peace.

But the bad luck has not ended, and he also rushed out of the Premier League and headed to Europe. On September 15, the first round of the Champions League group stage. Manchester City was visiting Germany's Wissel Stadium to challenge Werder Bremen. Facing a German team in a bad state, Manchester City staged a goal battle with the opponent. The final score was three to three, and Manchester City once again ushered in a draw.

If the league matches are added, Manchester City has lost three rounds.

A week later, the away game against Wigan was followed by Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor who was still helping to get rid of it, but Manchester City was not lucky, which once again proved that they were not as simple as bad luck, but were in a problem with their condition because of this game. Manchester City ushered in the second defeat in five league rounds.

Five wins, one draw, two losses and five points, the thirteenth in the league.

The top scorer is Chelsea, who won all five games, scored 21 goals and conceded only one goal. He led Manchester City and Arsenal behind him in just five rounds, and led the defending champion Manchester City by as many as ten. Manchester City's only comfort is that Liverpool, the brother who is neighbors in the standings, has won only one victory in five games in the new season.

There is no doubt that Hodgson is in dire straits. In fact, no head coach can be at ease with such results. With last season's results, Linson's condition is better than Hodgson, but only some.

The English media, who was still praising Linson and his Manchester City more than half a month ago, finally couldn't suppress the restlessness in their hearts. Various scandals related to Manchester City and Liverpool began to fly everywhere. Today is the ultimatum of Liverpool's senior executives Hodgson, tomorrow is the meeting between Manchester City senior executives and Linson. Today is the Liverpool captain Gerrard is dissatisfied with the team's performance, and tomorrow is the internal strife within Manchester City...

There are only Manchester's local newspaper, Manchester Evening News, objectively facing Manchester City's current dilemma: "It is obvious. As the defending champion, Manchester City is at a critical moment, even if the league is still long as an excuse. There is too much difference. We believe that Manchester City clubs still maintain confidence in this team and are patient with Linsen. After all, last season, they were the most successful team in the entire Premier League, but Linsen should know that this patience is limited and Manchester City must rebound as soon as possible, because their opponent in the next round of the league is Chelsea..."

In fact, without others urging, Lin Sen also knew that his current situation was definitely not optimistic, or to put it bluntly, Lin Sen knew that he had overdrawn the trust accumulated last season. Speaking of which, Lin Sen had not encountered such a bad time. The last time was when he just became the head coach, but that time, he was cleaning up other people's messes, and now, he was digging a hole for himself.

The danger is that last time, he could maintain an optimistic attitude and plan a response plan clearly. But this time, he was a little puzzled.

What's worse is that both Alyl, Dina, and Tang Hua are all confused about the current situation of Manchester City... yes, it's just puzzling, because both psychologically, physically, and tactically, Manchester City seems to be so normal that it can't be normal anymore. Lin Sen tossed and watched the videos of the last few games several times, but still couldn't figure it out.

The team's poor results also affected the atmosphere in the training ground. Although everything was still step by step, it seemed calm and quiet, but there was no emotion to escape Lin Sen's eyes. In this regard, Lin Sen was still calm on the surface, because this was not a personal problem, but an overall problem. Lin Sen could of course talk to each player with an incorrect mood, but he did not think this was the solution.

The solution is actually very simple. As long as you win, everything will disappear. However, Manchester City seems to have forgotten the taste of victory at once.

September 22, the third round of the League Cup, cold door day.

In the 16 games, a total of eight teams were eliminated, including Tottenham who was eliminated by Arsenal, Everton who was eliminated by Brentford, Liverpool who lost to the English League Two team Northampton, and Chelsea who entered the mutual outing state with Newcastle in the end three-to-four.

Of course, for Manchester City's football fans, the most important thing is that the defending champion Manchester City was also eliminated.q--69958+ds+25050737-->
