Chapter 37: The Shadows
Tang Hua has gone back to Cambridge.
The pressure that belongs to him cannot be alleviated because of Lin Sen's words and some suggestions, what he should bear will still be on his shoulders, this Lin Sen can't help him bear it, what Lin Sen can do is just help him change the way he treats these pressures. As for what will happen next, to be honest, Lin Sen is not sure.
It's like it's obvious, but when you actually encounter it, you often can't figure out these obvious truths.
Soon after Tang Hua left, Boya returned home, and then, the first thing he said was: "Tang has been here?" ”
"How do you know?" Lin Sen was a little surprised.
"Cinderella sues me." Boya didn't sell it, and said while taking off his shoes, "Now, do you still support him to go to Cambridge United?" ”
"Of course." Of course, Lin Sen heard the teasing meaning in Boya's words, but he still shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't you think that trying is the most important thing compared to success or failure?" ”
"It's not convincing at all." Boya walked into the room and said, "Do you think it's easy to get out of your shadow?" ”
Shade?
Lin Sen was stunned for a moment, he never thought that such an evil word would have something to do with him.
"Shadows? What do you mean? ”
"Literally." Boya glanced at Lin Sen and said lightly, "Although you are an expert in football, ...... Don't you think that you are actually Tang Hua's biggest shadow? ”
Lin Sen had the heart to refute, but when he thought about it at this time, he was actually a little speechless.
He is Tang Hua's biggest shadow?
From the bottom of his heart, of course, Lin Sen was not happy to memorize this word that has always belonged to the villain boss, however, in the face of Boya's words, what did he refute?
Isn't it?
Where there is shadow, there is light. The brighter the light. The deeper the shadows. In other words, the greater Lin Sen's achievements, the deeper the shadow he formed, and the people who received the most from him were undoubtedly the people closest to him. Of course, Lin Sen can imagine his influence in a good direction, but about this, Lin Sen can't deny it, and he can't deny it.
Thinking of this, Lin Sen smiled bitterly, what can be done about this?
It's just that. For Lin Sen's wry smile, the "initiator" Boya ignored it, but took out a few copies of the text from his bag, and then handed it to Lin Sen, without saying what it was, and asked Lin Sen to sign.
Lin Sen was obviously used to similar signatures, and he didn't look at them carefully, so he flipped to the last page and signed.
Since marrying Boya. Lin Sen was "forced" to sign an unequal treaty with the other party in bed, giving up financial power. Having said that, Lin Sen's premarital assets at that time were not big or small, which made Boya startled. Although she has long known that as the coach of Manchester City, Lin Sen's net worth will definitely not be too thin, but she is shocked to be frightened, and it is almost a fool's way of managing money for Lin Sen. Boya's reaction at that time still makes Lin Sen want to press her on the bed when he thinks about it.
At that time, Boya did not speak. Instead, he looked at Lin Sen with a very helpless expression, and then sighed.
Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated, aren't they? ――
September 21.
Linson was once again in the stands at the Etihad Stadium.
As the Premier League's "second-year" Pellegrini's Manchester City, the first four games of the new season have two wins, one draw and one loss, which is obviously not a good start for a team aiming to defend the title, but considering that Manchester City's squad has undergone some changes in the summer, it is not unacceptable, of course, provided that Pellegrini does his best to get the team on the title track.
As for Linsen, although he is no longer the head coach, Pellegrini's results cannot be said to have nothing to do with him, at least, whether his work is successful this summer also needs to be proved by Pellegrini's results. Counting, in the first four games, Sanchez played the most, and the Chilean striker's table Xiàn is also competitive, scoring two goals in three games, although it is too early to make Manchester City fans forget about Suarez, but there are already many media who think that Linsen has made another good deal.
Compared to Alexis Sanchez, it is clear that the situation of the other two new signings will take time to observe. Musacchio has only been given a chance to play in garbage time in the final stage of the second round of the league so far, barely meeting with Manchester City fans on the field, and this summer, Linson almost forced Real Madrid to release Isco, and he has not been able to squeeze into the starting line-up for the time being, both appearances are all substitutes, and the number is still blank, but the young Spaniard has won the love of Manchester City fans.
In the Premier League, although the flashy style of play is often not practical, it has always been a great weapon when it comes to pleasing fans.
Of course, these are not the main reasons why Linson appeared in the stands today, he appeared here because of Manchester City's opponents today.
Chelsea.
Just like Linsen's memory, Mourinho, who was suppressed last season, has been aggressive from the beginning of this season, with four consecutive wins at the beginning of the table, and ten goals have been scored in the last two rounds, which is in stark contrast to Manchester City, which has only scored one point in the last two rounds, one draw and one loss. The initiative will be entirely in Chelsea's hands, as Mourinho has never been in the habit of letting others overtake.
This undoubted focus of the battle, the process is far from difficult to solve, from the shape of the game, the home battle Manchester City took the initiative, the possession rate was even as high as nearly seventy, however, in terms of efficiency, Manchester City is far behind the visiting team's Chelsea, the entire first half, Manchester City shot as many as nine times, but only one shot on target, and Chelsea although the number of shots is not even half of Manchester City, but two of the four shots hit the goal frame, one of which is not the home goal frame help, Manchester City were even on the verge of falling behind in the first half.
During the break, after the live broadcast of the game at Sky Sports showed a blank Pellegrini, it was quite meaningful to find Lin Sen who was getting up from his seat in the stands.
Obviously, in the eyes of the media, although Linson said early on that it was impossible to replace Pellegrini, if Manchester City really reached the point where it had to change the manager, no one knows what would happen.
Lin Sen didn't know that the camera was on his body, and he didn't want to pay attention to what the outside world thought, at this time, his mind was just completely on the game.
Pellegrini's exclusion of the formation in this game is four-two-three-one, which is also the formation that Linsen is most familiar with, in the selection of personnel, Linsen asked himself and Pellegrini's choice is not much different, but, if he is coaching, I am afraid the scene will be a little more dull, because, compared to attack, he will emphasize defense.
The biggest thing that Pep-style Manchester City and Lin-style Manchester City have in common is that they both pay great attention to the protection of the defensive line in the midfield, and the biggest difference is probably on the side. To put it simply, Pelagrini freed up two wingers, while Linson's wingers still need to take on a certain amount of defensive tasks.
Of course, Linsen has no intention of judging Pellegrini because he thinks to himself that if he were in the dugout, he might not have been able to give Manchester City the advantage they have now. It's just that he doesn't know the outcome of this game in his memory, and he can't see which side the game will go to at the moment.
Moreover, football games are always full of chance.
Sure enough, at the start of the second half, an unexpected situation turned the game around, Manchester City defender Zabaleta received a second yellow card for a clash with the opposing opponent's Diego Costa, leaving only 10 men to face Manchester City, instantly surrendering the advantage, and Chelsea were not polite, and a few minutes later, Schurrle scored after less than five minutes.
The score was behind, and the shape was at a disadvantage, and in the blink of an eye, Manchester City, which was originally favored, was defeated.
Lin Sen in the stands looked at the two managers in the field, Pellegrini had an anxious look above his head, and Mourinho was still as steady as Mount Tai, and there was no trace of excitement on his body. This made Lin Sen sigh a little in his heart, lamenting that Pellegrini still lost a good game after all, and also lamented that Mourinho was so difficult to deal with.
In the eyes of the outside world, in terms of the record against Mourinho, Lin Sen is one of the better coaches, at least, Lin Sen did not let Mourinho take much advantage, but in fact, if you say that you are sure, Lin Sen still does not dare to say that he has more than fifty percent, the reason is that Mourinho will never fall in the same place for a second time, so his team may be in a situation of underestimating the enemy, but theoretically speaking, it will only get better and better.
In Linson's view, this is why Mourinho always performs better in the second season than in the first season when he takes charge of a team.
And this season is precisely Mourinho's second season back at Chelsea.
However, in this game, the final luck was not on Mourinho's side, the game went on in the 84th minute, Manchester City, who had one less player, miraculously equalized, and it was Sanchez, who was arranged by Pellegrini to replace Robben in this game.
The two sides eventually shook hands one by one.
Chelsea's unbeaten streak continued, while Manchester City finally blocked the pace of the other party, but this good thing was not done for himself, because the points gap between Manchester City and Chelsea has not changed, it is still five points, and the good thing is done for several other giants, this lose-lose draw has given Arsenal and other teams a chance to chase points.
After the game, Lin Sen originally planned to leave, but at this time, he received a text message.
From Jose Mourinho. (To be continued......)
