Chapter 33 Restart

We have bad luck.

This is Lin Sen’s first sentence at the post-match press conference, and then he added this sentence: from whichever aspect.

Lin Sen has reason to say that, although in the final stage of the game, luck seemed to be on Manchester City's side, looking at the whole game, Manchester City had two chances to kill the game, one was a two-goal lead, and the other was a goal that Di Maria was judged to be offside. Just grasp it once, Manchester City was enough to lock in the victory, and there was nothing else in Manchester United, but in these two chances, Manchester City did not seize it, and Manchester City seized it, but... they were not lucky.

Naturally, the reporters present could not let Lin Sen "ambiguously" pass by. The offside ball undoubtedly became the focus. Lin Sen did not avoid this. Unlike the restraint in the game, he did not hide his dissatisfaction at all: Dissatisfaction? Of course I am dissatisfied! In my opinion, the penalty changed this game. No matter from which angle it looked, it was an unquestionable good goal. I don't know what standard the linebacker made this goal offside, but I hope this is the last time.

And on the other side.

Ferguson always sat next to him with a smile and watched Lin Sen speak righteously in the face of the reporter. It was a pity that he was equalized by Manchester City at the last moment, and the draw also widened the points gap between Manchester United and Chelsea again, but in general, he was still satisfied with this game. When the microphone was handed over to him, he first praised his players, especially Hernandez's performance, and then gave his own views on the "offside ball" that the reporter was more concerned about: Lin and I have different views. I think the referee and the lineman made a beautiful decision.

As the benefit side, Ferguson certainly could not "turn aside" and just as he applauded in the game, he still insisted that it was an offside ball, and the referee's penalty was accurate. When Ferguson was speaking, a reporter with ulterior motives deliberately pointed the camera at Lin Sen. He tried to find some "interesting" reactions from his face, but the facts disappointed them, and Lin Sen was unmoved at all.

An old fox and a little fox.

Looking at the two people who were obviously in harmony on the surface, the reporters present suddenly felt helpless, but they might not know that after the press conference, they had their respective identities. The two were not only in harmony, but even had a drink and chat.

Linson fulfilled his promise and invited Ferguson to his office for a drink. He asked Ferguson to entertain himself at Old Trafford last time.

Linson has two offices in Manchester City, one at the Carrington training base and the other at the city stadium. Most of the time, Linson is a relatively simple office in the Carrington base, so the offices at the city stadium are just decorations most of the time. Of course, not including now, now, it is the best place to entertain Ferguson.

When he returned to China in the summer, Lin Sen brought a few bottles of good-year wine from his home, including wine and Chinese-specific liquor.

Everyone knows that Ferguson's favorite is wine, but he is also interested in the "good wine" that Lin Sen claims. Because unlike wine, white wine, which looks clear and transparent, smells like mellow and fragrant, but it is not the same as drinking. Ferguson's face changed several times just after taking a sip.

Looking at Ferguson's appearance, Lin Sen showed a smile. It turns out that not everyone is used to drinking white wine, even the best white wine is the same. Just like Moutai, known as "Chinese National Wine", although most people call it nectar, some people say it's like drinking a knife. Ferguson, who is not used to drinking white wine, praised the wine Lin Sen brought.

While tasting wine, Lin Sen and the old Sir also talked about football. Of course, the topic could not be the game just now, but about the current leader Chelsea.

In this round, Chelsea beat Fulham with one goal at home. The distance that was originally shortened was Ancelotti in the end. Chelsea won nine wins, two draws and one loss, and scored 29 points, leading Manchester United by five points. As for the previous third Manchester City, the gap was even further. Not only was it far, it was also surpassed by Arsenal, who was also won by this round, and fell to fourth place again, which also led Blackburn to defeat Newcastle away.

Of course, the twelve rounds of the league are only close to one-third of the schedule. It is too early to say who will win. However, Chelsea is undoubtedly the best performing team, and it can also be said to be the common "enemy" between Manchester United and Manchester City.

Ferguson laughed and said that he was not worried about Chelsea, but was worried about Manchester City.

Lin Sen just used a joke anyway, just smiled and shook his head, and did not respond. But Ferguson's tone was actually half-joking and half-serious. His words sounded like two meanings, one was to despise Chelsea, and the other was to attach importance to Manchester City. The former was to joke, while the latter was to be serious. This was not because he drank Lin Sen's wine to give Lin Sen face.

In Ferguson's view, Chelsea's trajectory this season is very similar to last season, both of which are extremely smooth starts, but their problems last season still exist, that is, their lack of stamina. The reason for this is not that they lack experience, but on the contrary, they have too much experience and overflowed. However, although the more experience, the better, it cannot replace everything, such as physical fitness. Last season, Chelsea's midfielder was called the strongest in the Premier League, but their average midfield age was over 30 years old. This is the problem.

It is also one of the reasons why their results in the second half of last season were far inferior to those in the first half of the season. Of course, at this point, Ancelotti has noticed it. Therefore, this summer, Chelsea underwent major surgery in the midfield and immediately let go of three generals Barack, Deco and Joe Cole, and introduced Ramirez and other new forces, which are considered to be the right medicine. However, compared to this problem, another problem is not so easy to solve, although they have tried to solve this summer.

That is star dependence.

Currently, this Chelsea relies heavily on three people, Terry on the defense line, Lampard in the midfield and Drogba on the front line. Although this dependence is more or less common in each team, Chelsea is more obvious. This can be seen from their record. Before Lampard was injured, Chelsea won five consecutive games this season, and after Lampard was injured, Chelsea began to fluctuate in performance. This problem is even more serious on the front line. Drogba could hold on for a year last year, so what about this year? What about next year?

Therefore, Chelsea has been rumored to have an affair with Liverpool's Torres during the season.

Compared with Chelsea, Manchester City is different. Although their performance is not good now, after experiencing such difficulties, they can still recover smoothly. For Manchester City, they can only be better, not worse, because compared with Chelsea, they are younger and have more balanced fronts. They counterattacked Chelsea last season. Who can be sure that they can't repeat it again?

It was not long for a drink. The two chatted for a while, and soon Ferguson said goodbye and left.

On the way out, Ferguson suddenly remembered the last time he was at Old Trafford with Linson. He repeatedly tested the "relationship" between Linson and Mendes. Although Linson denied that he was paying attention to Beibei at the time, Ferguson finally bought Beibei in the summer, but now it seems...

The whole Premier League knows that Ferguson likes to use young people and has enough courage to put his treasures on young people. The legendary "Class 92" and Ronaldo, who is already a world footballer, are both his proud works. Ferguson has enough patience for young people and is not used to drawing conclusions about a young person too early, but there are always exceptions in everything.

Beibei unfortunately became this exception.

Thinking of this, Ferguson smiled bitterly, hoping that this was not what Lin Sen did on purpose, otherwise, the pit he dug would have been a bit unfair.

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

In the Manchester battle, both sides suffered losses and Chelsea became the biggest winner, but for the three clubs, they did not have time to calculate the gains and losses, because just two days later, they ushered in another round of leagues. In this round, Feng Shui turned to Manchester City.

Manchester City, who had nowhere to breathe in the game against Manchester United, welcomed a punching bag at home. In this game, Birmingham's Bend brothers started, performing well and badly, and failed to stop the old club from massacre of Birmingham. The score was 5-1. Lars Bend scored a comforting goal as the game was near the end.

In the other few games that were not very suspense, there were two upsets. First, Manchester United was tied by Aston Villa two away, and secondly, the biggest upset. Chelsea lost three goals to Sunderland at home Stamford Bridge. This defeat made it not only Manchester United, but also Arsenal, who won the same victory as Manchester City. But this crushing defeat was not the end of Chelsea's bad luck.

It seems to be confirming Ferguson's view of them. In the 14th round a week later, Chelsea suffered two consecutive losses. They lost one goal away to Birmingham, who had just lost to Manchester City, giving the opponent who fell into the relegation zone a warm three-pointer. For Manchester City, this is not the only good news, because another team in front of them also lost, that is, Arsenal. In the focus battle of this round, in the hot North London derby, Arsenal lost 2-3 to Tottenham Hotspur. Manchester United and Manchester City defeated their respective opponents 2-0 and 4-1 respectively, and continued to approach Chelsea.

Yes, it's approaching.

Because now, there is only one point left between Manchester United and Chelsea, and Manchester City, which was once left with more than three games, is only three points away from them at this time.
