Lin Sen is indeed difficult to open this mouth.

Of course, the "face" mentioned by Boya is one of the reasons, but it is not as good as Boya said. It is actually not difficult for Lin Sen to recognize his elder brother with an old face. After all, he has participated in so many press conferences and cannot be said to be thicker than the city wall, but most people still have to be thicker, not to mention that this is just a proposal. Just this is not a matter of being face-saving.

However, Lin Sen didn't think that this matter was really just as Boya said, it was just a slight effort. The basis for Boya's belief was his contribution to Manchester City, and Manchester City did become a well-deserved club in his hands. No one could deny this. However, when you don't say it, it seems that it can bring you anything, and when you say it, things can easily change.

However, Lin Sen did not reply to Boya at the moment. At that time, he just smiled and did not comment. Boya did not go into details, because in terms of what to do next, there is always one thing that needs to become reality first, that is, Lin Sen really became the owner of Cambridge United.

In the next few days, Boya was still busy. Lin Sen was so idle that he wanted to help his wife share the worries, but she didn't appreciate it at all. It seemed that the last meeting had completely made her "warned" about Lin Sen. Lin Sen had nothing to do about this, so he simply watched some videos of the League One game.

Yes, just some.

It’s not that I can’t find it, but because it’s different from the past.

Lin Sen is no longer the rookie coach who had to lock himself in his room and stare at the game video for several days and nights when he took over Malaga. Thinking of his actions back then, Lin Sen now feels that he was really "second" at that time. His mode of watching game videos was to watch without any discounts. In fact, this is a stupid method. According to the professional video analyst, it cannot be said to be completely wrong, it can only be said to have wasted a lot of time. However, although he felt that "second" was not regretted. There are still some differences between doing many things, doing more or not doing less. Who can guarantee that Lin Sen's success in the past few years has nothing to do with his experience of "second" back then?

Of course, now Lin Sen no longer needs it. First, he is no longer a rookie coach. Many things do not need to be seen to be realistic. It is common to learn from one example and learn from others. Another reason is his current identity. In other words, even if he wants to do it, he should be Tang Hua, not him.

The reason why Lin Sen watched these game videos was not really to study Cambridge United's opponents in the new season. More so, it was just to examine the competitive level of the League One League from a macro perspective.

The five major European leagues. The English, West, Italy, France and Germany have made a special statement that the rankings are indefinitely. It is really unnecessary to argue which league is the world's number one league. A little more sleek statement means that each has its own characteristics. Therefore, from the European level, these five major leagues are all top leagues. After the top league, the second level is followed by the second level. At least many fans are familiar with them. Because these leagues basically have a few more familiar representative teams every season appear in the Champions League or the Europa League, such as Ajax, Feyenoord, Twente, etc., Porto, Sporting Lisbon and Benfica, etc., in addition, Anderlecht of the Belgian League, Galatasaray of Turkey, Basel of Switzerland, and Zenit of Russia...

As for the third-tier leagues after the second-tier league, it is quite broad, including Czech Republic, Romania, Austria... In the leagues of these countries, people basically only find them in the European arena if they are very occasionally.

So, what level does the English League One belong to?

It seems a bit outrageous to say this, because the League One is England's third-tier league, and it is obviously annoying to make a big deal at the European level. However, for Lin Sen, this is a criterion for measuring the price. The reason is very simple. He does not have much impression of the League One and League Two, but he has a deep understanding of European teams.

Therefore, the level is not the point, the point is that Lin Sen needs to know what level this is.

Among the games Linsen chose, one of them was the opening match of last season. Sheffield United was at home against Bristol City. In the end, the latter won two-to-one. Of course, the reason why Linsen chose to watch this game was not just because it was the opening match. More losses were because of the strength of these two teams. The winning Bristol City locked an upgrade place early this season. It was the English League One champion last season and is now the English Championship team. Sheffield United is not a weak team. They finally ranked fifth in the league this season. Although they failed to directly lock in the upgrade place, they also qualified for the play-offs. Of course, they failed in the end.

What we need to mention here is the promotion and relegation rules of the English A. Since it belongs to the same management association, the promotion and relegation rules of the English A are similar to those of the English B. English B. is promoted to four and lower than two, which means there are four upgrade places, and only two teams will be relegated, while English A is promoted to three and lower than three. From this subtle change, it can be seen that the competition of English A is more intense than English B. and tends to be professional. In addition, the play-offs are the same, but English A is the top six, and English B has one more upgrade place, so it is the top seven.

After two days, Lin Sen watched the video of the game he chose and had a relatively objective impression of the League One. Level? If you have to use the European level to measure it, it will probably be Level 4. In other words, it is lower than the European level 3 league. Of course, this is not a belittlement. You cannot expect a country's third-tier league to be compared with the continental level 3 league, although the English League is indeed one of the most mature leagues in the world.

Then, Lin Sen turned his attention to Cambridge United.

The League One is the environment. The environment that Cambridge United needs to face in the new season. After understanding this environment, whether Cambridge United can survive in this environment and how to survive is an issue for Tang Hua on the surface, but for the club, a goal is a must. The so-called goal is nothing more than championship, upgrade, foothold and relegation.

In the previous conversation with Tang Hua, Lin Sen actually talked about this issue with Tang Hua. Tang Hua believed that with Cambridge United, relegation is not a problem, but upgrading is a delusion. It should be said that this is also a more realistic answer. Lin Sen was happy for Tang Hua at that time because Tang Hua could see his situation clearly without being overwhelmed by the joy of escalation, thinking that he could conquer everything with his dreams.

But now, if we really join Cambridge United, Lin Sen will not really let Tang Hua fight to relegate, because the situation is different-

Cambridge United is about to change its owner.

This is not a big deal in English football, but it is an absolute big deal in the local area, especially for Cambridge United fans.

In recent years, with the development of English football, it is no longer a new thing for football clubs to be acquired by foreign capital. Even the most arrogant Englishman has accepted this reality. Of course, like doing business, acquisitions have success and failure. A typical example of failure is Portsmouth, which is still in the English League Two, and the example of success is Manchester City.

Who is the sacred person to acquire Cambridge United? Because everything is done secretly for the time being, because many Cambridge United fans are not clear about it, but this does not prevent their speculations about Cambridge United's new owners. These speculations are both positive and negative.

The positive view is that this is a good thing. After all, the League One is different from the League Two, and it is not the non-professional league two seasons ago. Cambridge United cannot rely on the help of enthusiastic local fans and businessmen to live a life. Being acquired should be said to be a good thing for Cambridge United, because at least it means that someone is willing to invest money in Cambridge United.

On the other hand, the negative view is pessimistic that Cambridge United's acquisition only means that the team will become a plaything for others. They even used an example to express their views, that is, if the situation of Manchester United reappeared in the FA Cup last season, then can you still expect Cambridge United to keep the ticket price unchanged for the sake of fans?

It should be said that both positive and negative have their own reasons. Acquisition is a business after all. No matter how beautiful the acquirer says it, one thing cannot be denied, that is, no one is here to do good deeds that do not seek rewards, so no one can tell what the future will be like. Because of this, unlike those who hold the views on both sides, more Cambridge United fans mostly maintain a wait-and-see attitude towards this matter.

There is no airtight wall in the world, not to mention that this wall will be removed sooner or later.

On the second Saturday in June, the Sun took the lead in revealing this acquisition that was not originally eyed by many people, and Boya finally appeared in front of the public for the first time. Of course, what attracted people's attention was not only her royal identity, but also because her husband was Lin Sen, who had already left Manchester City.

As a result, the small matter in Cambridge quickly became the big matter in England.

In the past period of time, because of Real Madrid and Bale's transfer, Linson has become the focus of discussion in England. From the beginning, almost everyone believed that Linson would go to Madrid. Later, Linson was rumored to give up signing and then Real Madrid signed with Benitez to confirm this incident, which is also widely believed to be Linson's response to Bale's transfer.

After that, although Lin Sen was associated with several other European giants who might have changed their coach more than once, he gradually moved away from the center of public opinion. Now, no one expected that Lin Sen would return to the public's attention in this way. (To be continued...)
