Chapter 67 Demeanor
"The whole game ends! It's a really ups and downs! Barcelona won the game, but the qualification for the final is Manchester City!"
"We must congratulate Manchester City on their soccer spirit that they will never give up until the last moment when the situation is extremely unfavorable! We also want to congratulate Lin Sen. Just a few minutes ago, this is definitely not a game he wants to recall, but now, this game will become a memory he never wants to forget!"
"After AC Milan and Real Madrid, another team with a brilliant Champions League history fell at the feet of Manchester City. This is an evening in English football. On May 29, the Wembley Stadium will witness two English teams competing for the highest honor on the highest stage in Europe!"
...
Camp Nou Stadium.
The whistle at the end of the game has been sounding for a long time, but the stands here are still packed, and the atmosphere has become particularly weird and depressing.
On the stadium, Manchester City's celebration was still ongoing, unscrupulous, and looked conspicuous and dazzling, especially against the backdrop of the Barcelona players who fell to the ground. The Spanish commentator was speechless. He could understand the mood of Barcelona fans in the stands at this time, which was unacceptable. Just a few minutes ago, their team led by three goals, and there were two more players than their opponents. Everything seemed to be a foregone conclusion, but now, they have become the team that was eliminated.
Acceptance requires a process, but where is the process?
Guardiola stood on the sidelines for a long time, neither entering the field to comfort his players, nor going to the other side to show his demeanor to his opponent. He just kept moving like a statue. Biranova, who was standing behind him, walked over and patted his shoulder, but did not speak.
No one knows the pride of the man in front of him better than him. The team on the court is like the man's proud work. He is confident that this is the best team in the world, but now, this team has been blocked from the Champions League final for two consecutive seasons, and in such a similar way: he won the ball, but lost the game.
At the moment, who is the one who is the most unacceptable person to the current result? It is him.
It is difficult for fans to accept it, it is temporary. It is difficult for players to accept it, it is temporary. But for the head coach, it means that everything has to be overturned and started over.
Guardiola turned his head and glanced at Biranova, shook his head slightly, and said only one sentence: Go and comfort the team members for me.
Biranova nodded, then walked into the stadium and walked towards the Barcelona player who was either down, squatting or standing. Guardiola slowly walked towards the side of Manchester City.
Lin Sen was hugging Kidd. One thing he had to thank Kidd, that is, Kidd dragged him away from the scene where he confronted the referee.
If it weren't for Kidd's move, then what was waiting for Lin Sen would be that he could only watch his team play the first Champions League final in his coaching career through the glass, under the surveillance of UEFA workers.
Guardiola was a little surprised at this time.
"A... good... match." Guardiola seemed to have taken a lot of effort to say a few simple words.
But even so. Lin Sen still admires Guardiola at this time. Not everyone can show his demeanor when his team is eliminated, especially in such an important game. But even though he admires it, Lin Sen has more reasons to be angry no matter how he looks at this game. Although victory can dilute everything, including dissatisfaction, Lin Sen obviously has not yet disappeared. Just now, he directly ignored Debrikle's "goodwill" to shake hands after the game.
"Except for the referee." Lin Sen replied in a very ungraceful manner.
"Anyway. You've reached the finals, aren't you?" Guardiola said with a frown.
Lin Sen really wanted to continue to reply, I don’t want to reach the final like this every time. But he still held it back and smiled, “Yes, the final.”
Guardiola nodded, then turned around and left, but after a few steps, he turned around.
"See you next season!"
When saying this, Guardiola's face was very solemn and his voice was even more resounding.
Lin Sen still smiled and waved his hand.
Now, he knew that the last sentence was what Guardiola really wanted to say. He was not here to show his demeanor, he was here to write a letter of war.
The post-match press conference was like a small Camp Nou stadium, but the people here became media reporters.
"You have already won the finals. Is it so difficult for you to show such a little bit of demeanor?" a Catalan journalist stood up and said in a sharp tone.
Just now, Lin Sen, who was the final winner, said three sentences. The first sentence was not beyond anyone's expectations. "I am proud of our players' performance!" The second sentence began to cause some commotion, "I am very happy that this result disappointed some people." Then, the last third sentence directly made the scene explode, "The score of this game is not three to one, but three to two!"
"Demeanor? I am still sitting here now, and the greatest demeanor. Our promotion is won by ourselves, not by others. Promotion does not mean erasing everything. For this promotion, we paid two red cards that could have been avoided. Now, ask me demeanor? Suarez and David Luis will regretfully miss the final. Who do they need to ask for demeanor from? Sorry, if you want such demeanor, I'm sorry I'm not here to accompany you."
After saying that, Lin Sen stood up and left with his sleeves.
Then, amid the uproar at the scene, Lin Sen suddenly stopped again and turned around and stretched out a hand to Guardio, who was sitting on the other side with a black face.
Guardiola really wanted to squirt this shameless bastard to death, but at this moment, he could only stretch out his hand for Lin Sen's "revenge" move.
It's because of demeanor.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the end of the game, Manchester City did not stay in Barcelona, but returned to Manchester by plane overnight. Yes, it was a special plane. This is the benefit of having a wealthy boss.
Back in Manchester, at Manchester Airport, Manchester City was welcomed by tens of thousands of Manchester City fans. When Linson walked out of the passage, he even heard his name from the singing of Manchester fans. Not only that, the excited Manchester City fans even escorted Manchester City's bus back to the training base, which also added a unique scenery to Manchester that day.
But even if they are the Manchester United fans who are used to mocking them next door, they will not laugh at the other side for "making a big deal" at this time, because Manchester City deserves such a welcome, and more because, now, Manchester City will play the Manchester derby in the Champions League final with them at Wembley Stadium. Manchester United godfather Ferguson even publicly stated after Manchester City advanced to the final: Although he does not like Manchester City, this is indeed a very important day for the city of Manchester.
For the media, the end of the game is just the beginning of the story.
Unlike the Catalan media who was still entangled with Linson's "demeanor" issue after the game, venting the team's depression of being out of the semi-finals for two consecutive seasons, the English media did not intend to deal with the "provocation" from Spain. They pointed their finger at UEFA and collectively declaring the referee on duty for Manchester City, saying that his law enforcement in this game could only be described as clumsy, and changing the judgment under the complaint of Barcelona players is even more ridiculous. On the issue of referee, UEFA's reaction was very tough. They gave an announcement on the official website to defend the referee on duty, de Brecre, who said that his law enforcement in this game was legitimate and there was nothing wrong with it.
In response to this, Lin Sen, who was interviewed by the media, just gave a meaningful smile and said a more meaningful sentence: Everyone who has watched the game knows what happened, and I am very glad that the second goal we scored was effective.
Having said that, if possible, Lin Sen didn't want to hide his needles so much. Everything he encountered at Camp Nou was enough to turn him into a huge blower, but now he must calm his anger as soon as possible, because the game with Barcelona has ended, but this game left him more than just "meaning".
The most direct impact is those two damn red cards.
Suarez turned into two yellows and one red, while David Luis had to make a tactical foul. Although it was a direct red card, according to regulations, it would generally only be suspended for one game. Of course, it is actually not a big deal to discuss the suspension of several games now. In any case, the two will definitely be absent in the Champions League final. Unless the red card can be revoked, this is also impossible. Manchester City may have many dissatisfaction with the referee, but Manchester City has no way to appeal these two red cards.
Without Suarez, Linsen, Falcao and Adriano. Although their characteristics are different, the gap in strength is not too big. The most troublesome thing is David Luis. This season, the Brazilian and Kompany have always been Linsen's first choice for the central defender combination, while the substitutes are Cahill and Dunn. If it is just an ordinary game, Linsen doesn't need to worry, but in the Champions League final...
The trouble is not only that. If the lack of staff is a flaw, then the battle of Camp Nou also brought some hidden dangers to Manchester City. The biggest hidden danger is not just physical overdraw.
May 8th.
As long as you win Everton, you can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, watch Manchester United and Chelsea live and die, and fall into the pit first.
Lin Sen, who had to rotate most of the lineup, suffered a bitter loss of one-two to Everton away. After losing this game called the "champion outpost" by the media, because Manchester United beat back the aggressive Chelsea 2-1 at home, Ferguson's team has already taken the absolute initiative in the league, because now, with only two rounds left in the league, Manchester United not only beat Manchester City in points and Chelsea in four points, but also have an absolute advantage in goal difference.
