"So, what are we aiming for the new season?"

"Relegation. ¥°F Top Novel,"

"Couldn't it be a little higher?"

"Easy relegation."

……

Dave Sr. is a very funny old man, which is different from the club presidents that Linsen has dealt with in the past, during the Atletico Madrid period, Cerezo, who was to some extent the guide of Linsen's coaching career, was considered an approachable chairman, and the little Sans in the Malaga period, although he was not very old, was also young and promising, and as for Mubarak in the Manchester City era, he was a forward-looking chairman.

However, in the process of dealing with these chairmen, even Mubarak, who was very close to Lin Sen's concern, Lin Sen could still feel that sense of distance. And now the old Dave didn't give him this feeling, this funny old man, to Lin Sen feeling, really like an old fan, occasionally make some meat and vegetarian jokes, there will also be some fans often have, but unrealistic ideas, and most importantly, have some fans only have the stubbornness.

Therefore, talking with old Dave, Lin Sen felt very relaxed, and it seemed that except for age, there was nothing he could not talk about with the old man in front of him. Of course, the reason for this different feeling may be related to Lin Sen's different identity.

When talking about the goal of the new season, Lin Sen realistically put the goal on relegation, on the one hand, because he did not put too much pressure on Tang Hua, on the other hand, it was also because with the club's planning and current situation, it was clear that it was impossible to expect higher goals, dreams and expectations, after all, there is still a little difference, dreams can be endless, but expectations must be based on reality.

The goal of the new season is not a dream. It's expectation.

For Linsen's words, the elder Dave just smiled, and then joked why it can't be set higher, such as promotion, and he also gave an example of last season's Cambridge United goal was relegation, but now, Cambridge United is already a first-class team.

In this regard, Lin Sen, who knew that old Dave was just joking, just smiled and shook his head.

Regarding the future blueprint of Cambridge United, there is no doubt that the tone is set by Lin Sen, but not everything is Lin Sen's arbitrariness. Boya does not interfere with him in this regard, so Lin Sen's main reference object, in addition to Tang Hua, is the old Dave in front of him, and it can even be said that in this regard, Lin Sen attaches more importance to the old Dave's opinion than Tang Hua.

Lin Sen did not deny that Tang Hua was a genius. Whether this is under his hands or now alone, Tang Hua has already given proof, but. Running a club and running a team are always two different things, if it's the latter, ten old Daves can't match one Tang Hua, but if it's the former. Maybe ten Tang Hua may not be as good as one old Dave.

Of course, this does not mean that Dave Sr. is a great chairman, and ability is secondary. There's only one reason, no one knows everything more than Dave Sr.

Since the acquisition of Cambridge United, Lin Sen, who is standing behind the scenes, seems to be no different from when he was the head coach before, and it seems that he has done everything himself, but in fact, he has not really come forward much, except for the day when the acquisition was officially announced, he appeared once, in the eyes of Cambridge United fans, Lin Sen is still a figure who has not seen the end of the dragon.

In this regard, Lin Sen is very clear about his position.

The only connection between him and Cambridge United fans may be the sentence on Cambridge United's official website: Lin Sen, who belongs to the club, is from China, owns 95% ownership of Cambridge United Football Club.

On the bright side, Linsour also holds any position at Cambridge United, which is very similar to Sheikh Mansour to Manchester City, the difference is that Mansour handed over Manchester City FC to Mubarak, while Linsson intervened more, of course, this is also because of the difference in their attitudes towards this matter, for Mansour, Manchester City is just one of his properties, but for Linsson, this is where his energy lies.

It's just that, although it looks very similar on the surface, Lin Sen actually doesn't mean to overhead Dave Dougan.

He just drew a huge blueprint for Cambridge United, and then, next, everything was left to Dave Dougan and Tang Hua. The former is responsible for the operation of the club off the pitch, while the latter is responsible for the operation on the pitch, and as for the division of authority, Lin Sen will give the two positions all the authority they should have.

Then, Lin Sen will watch from the wall-

This past season has been fantastic for Colin.

The first move from the amateur league to the second division, although the latter is actually somewhere between professional and non-professional, is already a leap forward for a young man who has a background in wild football, but the bigger surprise is yet to come, and the team he joined came from behind in the second division, and finally soared to the first division.

It's already professional football through and through.

Colin never showed his emotions to the outside world, but the moment the team beat his opponent in the final of the qualifying tournament to advance, he was the most excited person on the court, so excited that he didn't even realize that he was hugging George, whom he had always regarded as his rival.

This season, as a midfielder, he scored five goals and provided six assists for Cambridge United.

Such a statistic is not conspicuous in the second division, but in this team, he has become the core of the team. Head coach Don has made it clear to him that he will still be the core of this team next season. Colin believed Don's word because it was Don who brought him to this team from the amateur league.

Until yesterday, Colin was distracted and confident he would start a new football career at Cambridge United, yes, until yesterday.

Just yesterday, when he received a call from his father asking him to come home, and then, when he got home, he found a stranger in the house.

Colin thought that this stranger was just a friend of his father, but when he nodded politely to the other party, the other party took the initiative to shake hands with him enthusiastically, and then made a self-introduction that made Colin's heart skip a beat.

His name is Dave Harrison and he is from Manchester City.

When he heard the name Manchester City, Colin was stunned for a moment, and then confirmed with a puzzled look whether the name he heard was the club he thought, until the other party smiled and gave an affirmative answer, he dared to believe his ears, and then, Colin was a little overwhelmed.

Colin's favorite team is Manchester United, psychologically speaking, Manchester City should be the team he hates the most, in fact, every time he watches the game, he does not hide his dislike for Manchester City, however, at this time, he finds that his feelings about Manchester City may not be as bad as he imagined.

At present, Manchester City is undoubtedly one of the best teams in England and even Europe, and how many young people in England, nay, Europe can refuse the call from Manchester City?

The favourite team is Manchester United, and such a reason is obviously not enough to refuse it.

Looking at his son's expression, the elder Colin knew that his son was tempted, which made him very happy, unlike his own son, he was a Manchester City fan, otherwise, how could he give his son a Manchester City legend name? In his opinion, Harrison's invitation is a good opportunity to "correct" his son's football beliefs.

However, just when he thought everything was going well, little Colin's expression calmed down again, and then, there was the following conversation.

"Why me?"

"You may not know, but you've been on our watch list for a long time, we think you're very talented, and your performance last season shows that we weren't wrong."

"My club knows about this?"

"No, not yet."

"Why?"

"The reason you should know is that Manchester City and Cambridge United have just become affiliated clubs, so ......"

"Shouldn't this be more convenient?"

"It should have been, but you forgot who bought Cambridge United."

……

Then, Colin knew that the other party was pure.

The man in front of him, Dave Harrison, may really be a scout for Manchester City, but few of his words to answer himself are true.

The other party pays attention to himself very early? From where to note? Before coming to Cambridge United, Colin played for a team that was nothing more than an amateur team, what is an amateur team? To put it simply, there is no way to have a team that is visited by professional scouts. In this case, where does the other party's attention begin?

Of course, since the other party is coming to the door now, regardless of why the other party notices him, then, what next?

Of course, Colin knows that Manchester City and Cambridge United are already associated clubs, and everyone knows that the reason why Cambridge United can "climb high" is because the current owner of Cambridge United is the former King of Manchester City, Linson. So, why did Cambridge United not be able to reap the benefits of Manchester City in a blink of an eye, but the other side poached Cambridge United's people first? Colin thought that his mind was much more mature than his peers, but he couldn't figure out the truth in it.

If you put it in normal times, according to Colin's own principles of doing things, it's best not to mix things that you don't understand. Now, however, it is difficult for him to convince himself not to mix.

Like all young people in England who have a football dream, when he was a football teenager, Colin also went to various football training camps and participated in all kinds of football training, but unfortunately, every time, he could only act as a listener, hearing that he had seen such and such on the training ground was favored by which team, and as for himself, he was not favored once.

Wild ball, that's just an unwilling struggle.

But now, there's an invitation right in front of Colin from one of the best clubs in the world.

How could Colin say no? (To be continued......)
