A narrow victory over Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 away, and swept the Queen's Park Rangers 6-0 at home. △

It seemed that until this time, Manchester City found the feeling of victory again, but it was too late.

The overall situation of the Premier League has been decided.

After the last round, Mourinho's side has celebrated Chelsea's fourth top league championship in history and the third Premier League champion in advance.

It is worth mentioning that the head coach of Chelsea's three Premier League champions are Mourinho. According to the original trajectory, Ancelotti, who is currently in jeopardy in Real Madrid, should have led Chelsea to end the monopoly of Manchester's two-man champions over the league championship, but due to Lin Sen's "spite", this process was postponed for six years, and Chelsea only tasted the championship again after nine years of absence from the league championship.

After Mourinho led Chelsea to win the championship, Linson congratulated the madman immediately.

Winning the championship is undoubtedly a happy thing. However, although Lin Sen did not see Mourinho, he could hear from his voice that Mourinho was far less excited than people imagined. In fact, the reason is not difficult to guess. For Mourinho, who once threw the second Premier League championship medal he won on the stands, winning the Premier League championship again is not so new to him.

Even if he won the League Cup before, there is still a regret for Chelsea this season, that is, the Champions League, which is also the main reason why Mourinho had to leave Chelsea back then. Mourinho, who returned to Stamford Bridge, will certainly gain more trust and patience from Abraham, but Mourinho returned here not just to get applause, but what he wanted to do was to accomplish what he had not been able to accomplish here last time.

Mourinho was not surprised by Lin Sen's call. When one side was proud, the other side generously sent congratulations, which has become the tacit practice of the two. Even if one side was eliminated by the other side, it was unable to change this management, let alone now. During the conversation, Mourinho once again mentioned the topics they talked about when they met last time.

From beginning to end, Mourinho thought that the most suitable position for Lin Sen should be on the side of the court, rather than the stands that appear occasionally. Mourinho even hinted that Lin Sen is his best opportunity this summer, and Lin Sen's reaction is still the same as last time, and there is no question.

Unlike the last time, this time, Lin Sen is not ambiguous. Lin Sen himself is very clear about what the best opportunity he said means, but there are some things that cannot be said for the time being.

Every summer, it is not just the transfer market.

Linson remembered the extremely heavy meeting with Pellegrini a week ago.

Some people laugh and some people cry, one person's comedy. It is likely that it is another person's tragedy. Lin Sen has played both roles, not only these two roles, but also played the third role. That is the determiner of the first two roles. The difference is that in the coaching era, he decides whether the players are staying or leaving, and this time, it is the head coach's staying or leaving.

Of course, to be precise, this time. He was not the decisive one, although he decided to be the role of the unpopular "notifier".

Lin Sen admires Pellegrini. This is true. God proves it. This is true since he was still the interim coach of Atletico Madrid. However, Lin Sen cannot "save" Pellegrini. His plug-in can change his own trajectory, but ultimately cannot change the trajectory of others. On the day when Chelsea won the championship early, Manchester City senior executives made the decision that Pellegrini will no longer serve as the team's coach next season. Of course, this decision is still a secret.

Originally, according to the idea of ​​Manchester City's senior management, they planned to tell Pellegrini about this decision until after the season ended, but Linson raised objections. Linson's reason was very simple: unfair.

Not fair to Pellegrini!

Not many people know better than Lin Sen that he is still in the position of coach, but the club is already looking for a successor behind his back. He encountered such a thing at Atletico Madrid back then. He could have seemed calm about this, saying that Atletico Madrid was just doing things according to the contract at that time, but this cannot change the fact that no one would like this "doing according to the rules".

Lin Sen's insistence eventually changed the original intention of the board of directors with the support of Mubarak.

So, who will inform Pellegrini?

A cold-blooded approach is to call and email to inform the already cold decision. A less cold-blooded approach is to go there in person and then thank the other party for their contributions to the club. A warm-blooded approach? No! You can’t smile and say that the other party is a good person, and then notify the other party that we are not suitable. At this time, the so-called warmth is more cruel than cruelty.

Lin Sen took red wine to find Pellegrini.

When Pellegrini saw Lin Sen and saw the red wine in his hand again, his expression was obviously dull. Then, although he quickly returned to peace, in Lin Sen's eyes, the color on his head had betrayed his mood at this moment.

Obviously, Pellegrini had realized what would happen, but obviously, he had a glimmer of hope before, otherwise he would not have stated very positively at the press conference that he would not resign.

Unfortunately, now, it is no longer his final say.

"Drink a drink?" Lin Sen raised the red wine and said, walking into Pellegrini's familiar and somewhat unfamiliar office.

Pellegrini was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Of course."

Soon, Pellegrini took out two wine glasses, and then Lin Sen opened the red wine, and the two began to sit and drink opposite each other.

"How long have we known Manuel." After drinking the wine glass, Lin Sen suddenly asked, and then asked and answered, "Five years? Six years?"

"It's exactly six years." Pellegrini didn't know why Linson suddenly said this, but he still said, his tone was very certain, "At the coach of Atletico Madrid, you played a league game with Villarrea I led. I still remember the score very clearly, three to three."

"Uh, I remembered it." Lin Sen nodded with a smile, "After that game, we had been praising each other for a long time at the press conference."

When Lin Sen said this, it seemed that his memory was opened suddenly, and Pellegrini's face immediately smiled, shaking her head while smiling.

"Several years have passed in a flash." Lin Sen raised his cup and shook the liquid in the cup, sighing a little.

However, Pellegrini seemed to have no resonance with his sigh. He looked at the "young man" in front of him. Yes, it was the young man. Compared with Pellegrini who did not know Lin Sen's "psychological age", Lin Sen in front of him was indeed a young man. If he had changed his sigh, Pellegrini would definitely sneer, but the "young man" in front of him, or one of the few young people who were qualified to say such an sigh.

"You know, I'm not here to be a good person today, Manuel." Linson didn't seem to notice the gaze of Pellegrini. He drank the glass of red wine in one sip and said slowly.

"I know." Pellegrini nodded, then mocked himself, "It's interesting to say, I'm almost used to it."

The tone is a self-deprecating tone, but the words are a little sad.

"I'm sorry." This time, Lin Sen was silent for a moment before saying.

Lin Sen gave himself a hundred reasons to tell himself that he didn't need to say this, but at this moment, he still said this.

"Why?" Pellegrini smiled, "just because you're back?"

Pellegrini took the wine and slowly poured it into the empty cup in front of Linson, and continued, "Of course, you returned to Manchester City, which made me a little suspicious for a while, and it did put some pressure on me, but you and I know what kind of job the head coach is, I have no right to interfere with your decision, but you can't decide whether I stay or not. In fact, I should thank you for your words at the press conference at the beginning of the season, and you don't need to say that."

Lin Sen shook his head with a wry smile, then asked, "What are your plans?"

"What are the plans?" Pellegrini shrugged and said half-seriously, "At least I am still the coach of the team this season. As for the season, I'm afraid you have to talk to my agent."

"Absolutely." Lin Sen nodded.

When a head coach passively but still receives the club's salary, many fans always dislike this behavior and think that it is the head coach's fault. However, they at this time they ignored one thing intentionally or unintentionally, that is the role the head coach plays in the matter of get out of class retiring. No one likes to be fired, but if this is the result of no choice, then the party who sells the person will naturally have to pay the price, which has nothing to do with feelings or not.

Now, Pellegrini can accept the ending of having to leave, so Manchester City must accept the result of the aftermath of the contract for Pellegrini. Of course, if both sides can reach an agreement, it is best if Pellegrini will receive invitations from other clubs immediately, then it will not be a bad result for both sides. If not, theoretically, Manchester City will only be able to "raise" two head coaches at the same time next season.

"By the way. What about you? What are your plans for next season?" At this time, Pellegrini asked in reverse, and before Lin Sen answered, he continued, "Actually, the team is in good condition this season, and I don't understand why this season will be like this. However, I have a suggestion, I think you can refer to it. The team's forward and defense line are not a big problem next season, but in the midfield, Yaya Toure's physical condition has shown a downward trend. Although it may not affect his performance too much,..."

"Wait." Hearing Pellegrini's words, Lin Sen quickly waved his hand. He didn't know whether Pellegrini said this was intentional or unintentional, but the other party seemed to be deciding that he would accept Manchester City next season, was he himself?

"Are you asking me about my plans? Or..." Linson said to Pellegrini, "What is Manchester City's plans?"

"Is there a difference?" Pellegrini smiled.

"Of course." Lin Sen nodded.
Chapter completed!
