Lin Sen has long had a metaphor for these two roles, simply put, it is the one who buys groceries and cooks.
Whether it is a grocery shopping or a cooking cook, it is ultimately intended to be able to make a good dish. Of course, on the surface, the cooking in front of the stage seems to be more important than the grocery shopping behind the scenes, but in fact, which one is more important, there is always a matter of opinion, and there is no very standard answer, because it is hard to cook without rice.
For clubs, buying groceries and cooking is equally important. They naturally hope that these two roles can work together sincerely. The classic Premier League coach simply combines these two roles into one and directly skips the step of cooperation between the two roles. The benefits of doing this are obvious. If everything goes well in the team, it is okay to say that once the team is in a bad condition, the two are likely to use each other as shields. The groceries buyers blame the groceries for the groceries and the good and good dishes make a ball of sesame paste, while the groceries cooks complain about the groceries being crazy. They obviously want watermelon but buy sesame seeds. Now the two are combined into one, and there is no excuse.
But this disadvantage is also obvious, that is, it is easy to cause the head coach to have too much power. In other words, the greater the power, the higher the requirements for the head coach's ability, and it is obviously not conducive to the club's health management. This is also the reason why Lin Sen's performance was so great during his coaching at Manchester City, even though he knew that Ma Wood was almost undermined, Mubarak still did not give up his "balancing strategy".
Thinking of this, Lin Sen suddenly laughed silently because he thought of an interesting thing. If he agreed to Mubarak's invitation, then he, who was originally the one who was balancing, had the opportunity to balance another coach.
If this happens, I'm afraid Pellegrini will be a little depressed.

June 11th.
The 2014 Brazil World Cup is in full swing, but for most club coaches, it is a rare holiday. Pellegrini also returned to South America, but instead of going to Brazil to watch the game or inspect the players, he returned to Chile and chose to be with his family.
At this time last year, Pellegrini got one of the best coaching jobs in the world, Manchester City's coaching position.
It is actually not an exaggeration to say that it is the best. At that time, Manchester City won the Champions League twice in three years and won two consecutive league titles. Some people may have objections to it as the most powerful team in the world at that time, but if one is added, I am afraid no one will question it. Moreover, Pellegrini took over is far from a team that has just reached the peak, at least in terms of age. Manchester City, whose average age is just over 25, can theoretically continue to maintain its peak period for several years.
Unfortunately, it was such a best job that made Pellegrini feel the feeling of being at Real Madrid again.
Winning is natural. Losing is a sin that deserves death.
Fortunately, Pellegrini was mentally prepared and withstood the pressure at the last moment, finally letting Manchester City's league championship fall. Otherwise, even if Mubarak trusts him, he would not be able to stop him from repeating his fate in Real Madrid again. However, Pellegrini himself knew that the same excuse cannot be used for two seasons.
Therefore, after the end of last season, Pellegrini had a meeting with Mawood in order to determine the lineup for next season as soon as possible. Due to the impact of the World Cup, the team's pre-match training camp will obviously receive a big impact.
Just now, Pellegrini received a trans-ocean call from Mawood, which was different from the previous few conversations that often took hours. This time, the call lasted less than five minutes, but it made Pellegrini stay in place after the other party hung up the phone.
Ma Wood actually didn't talk much about this phone call, just to put it simply two things.
The first thing is to tell Pellegrini that he is no longer responsible for the team's transfer work, but he did not leave Manchester City, but became the team's youth training supervisor and instead was responsible for the team's youth training work.
If this incident was just an accident for Pellegrini, then another thing can only be described as shocking.
Mawood told Pellegrini that it is likely that Lin will take over his job.
When Mawood first said this surname, Pellegrini had not even had time to come back to her senses. This was obviously a familiar surname in Manchester City, because both the Etihad Stadium and the team's training base were almost everywhere, and Pellegrini just couldn't react.
Which Lin? He even asked stupidly at that time.
Then, Mawood gave him an answer he actually knew.

"Kapkapkap..." Wayne held his cell phone and pressed his ears. His other hand subconsciously knocked on the table beside him, and his right foot trembled quickly... All the movements reflected how anxious he was at this moment.
This made him feel anxious because he had just received an explosive news. For the newspaper, speed means everything!
"Damn!" After waiting for a long time, Wayne waited for a cold reply with "no answered the phone". He almost wanted to throw the phone out on the spot.
After a few rounds, he couldn't wait any longer. He hurriedly picked it up and rushed out, explaining to others that if Captain came back, he would call him immediately and drive straight to Manchester City's headquarters.
Wayne originally thought that as long as he showed his identity, he would have no problem meeting with Ma Wood, but in fact, he was stopped by an old man who was guarding the door at the door. Let him be as clever as he was, the stubborn old man still said the same thing: The club stipulates that except for a specific time, the club refuses any personnel related to the media.
When he met such an old man, Wayne, who regretted reporting his identity, had no choice but to go around. At this moment, his cell phone rang.
"I said, "Boss, the sky fell, where are you going?" Seeing the phone number, Wayne complained as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Isn't you going to hold on to the sky?" Karp on the other side smiled, "What's so urgent?"
"I just got the news." Although I was dissatisfied, Wayne's voice couldn't suppress his excitement at this time, "He is coming back!"
"..." Cap seemed to be silent for a moment. But the sudden obvious breathing sound in the phone allowed Wayne to easily imagine Cap's expression at this time. "Creativity?" Cap's voice was no longer joking at this time.
"70%... no, 80%!" Wayne thought for a while and said.
"Enough! Where are you now?" Cap's voice suddenly became excited.
"I'm at Manchester City's headquarters now, will I go back right away?"
"No, no, you stay there, just have me here." Cape said, "You try to see if you can meet them, anyone can do it, as long as you are an insider, this time. The headlines are ours!"
"But..." Wayne was about to say that he couldn't even get in the door, but then he didn't expect that after Gap said that, he hung up the phone. He held the phone blankly and looked at the old man opposite him still staring at him with a vigilant look. Wayne smiled bitterly in his heart.

June 15th, early morning.
As usual, Old Miller, who was still wearing pajamas, opened the door, walked to the lawn in front of the door to pick up the newspaper delivered by the newspaper deliveryman early, then returned to the house, threw the newspaper on the sofa, and began to prepare breakfast for his wife and himself.
Half an hour later, my wife still hadn't gotten up yet. Old Miller, who had already prepared breakfast, enjoyed the breakfast while spreading out the newspaper.
Then, a striking title caught his eye, making him unable to help stopping the movements in his hands and widen his eyes.
Lin is about to return to Manchester City!
It seems to be to show that this is not just an unreasonable prediction. The title is black and bold, and even an exclamation mark is used.
"Lin is going to return to Manchester City! This is not a joke on April Fools' Day, and today is not April Fools' Day. After suddenly leaving Manchester City due to marriage last season, this meritorious coach who brought countless joy to Manchester City fans, as one of the most successful coaches in Europe, has never stopped the rumors surrounding his next stop. At the end of last year, the French media even took photos of Lin appearing in Paris, France, and then concluded that Lin is likely to enter the French Ligue 1 "new Manchester City" Paris Saint-Germain, but these news eventually proved to be a sensation...
And now, Lin finally decided to make a comeback, but it is likely that he is no longer a familiar identity. According to the exact information obtained by this newspaper, a certain Manchester City insider revealed that Lin Sen, who has been away from football for a year, is likely to return to Manchester City club in another identity..."
Old Miller just read this headline of Manchester Evening News, and then he could not continue reading it, because at this time, there was only one thought left in his mind.
Lin wants to come back?
------------
Manchester Evening News took the lead in breaking the news, and then almost all European media were moved.
According to the Sun, Lin Sen's ownership may even affect the entire Premier League and even the entire Champions League. This statement is certainly an exaggerated statement, but it proves that Lin Sen, who has faded out of football for a year, still has such influence. From another perspective, does it mean that Lin Sen's team under Lin Sen's previous years are horrors?
Just as the whole world was looking for Lin Sen to try to confirm the rumors to him personally, Lin Sen, as the person involved, did not come to the UK where it should have appeared, but secretly came to Portugal and met someone.
Mendes.
After Linson left Manchester City last year, his agency contract with Mendes was not terminated, because if Linson continued to choose to be the head coach, Mendes would still be his agent. But now, once Linson becomes Manchester City's manager, it is obvious that the contract between Linson and Mendes no longer has the basis for existence.
So, this trip to Portugal, to put it bluntly, Linson came to have a breakup with Mendes.
This meal was arranged at the Camero Restaurant in Viana forty kilometers north of Porto, and at this time Linson and Mendes were sitting opposite.
Two people, one with a calm expression and the other with a frown.
