Chapter 46: Silence
"Not necessarily."
Lin Sen waved his hand.
Cambridge United's results did not begin to improve after Lin Sen gave Tang Hua Jianyi, and Cambridge United's style does have Lin Sen's shadow in it, these are all facts, but in Lin Sen's opinion, Tang Hua still doesn't need to thank him.
"No matter what you build, the most important thing is never the person who speaks, but the person who listens." Lin Sen said, "It's a little surprising that you can accept it all." ”
The reason why Jian Yì is built yì instead of an order is because it is selective, Tang Hua is no longer Lin Sen's assistant, after Lin Sen gave his own Jian Yì last time, he actually didn't expect Tang Hua to be able to accept it all, compared to Tang Hua, who is just a "rookie" in the position of head coach, Lin Sen is indeed more experienced than him, and Lin Sen also thinks that his Jian Yì is very pertinent, but even so, he can't be 100% sure that his Jian Yì will work, not to mention, He knows exactly what that change means for a manager.
Pointing and pointing, and pointing and pointing, many times it is just a thin line, and it is still Tang Hua who makes the final decision.
And the fact is that Tang Hua accepted it almost entirely, and he did not hesitate.
Why Lin Sen said that Tang Hua didn't need to thank him was not just polite, because his construction might also lead to another result, and the risk of that result was not Lin Sen.
"Honestly." Hearing Lin Sen's words, Tang Hua smiled a little embarrassedly, "At that time, I actually had the idea of taking my time, but something happened at that time that changed my mind." ”
"In any case, Cambridge United are in good shape right now." Tang Hua's words did not surprise Lin Sen, he did not ask what happened, but seemed to suddenly remember something, and said, "That's right." I heard that the twentieth and sixteenth in your team were discovered by you? ”
"You mean George and Colin?"
"Yes." Lin Sen nodded and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, the names of these two little guys are somewhat interesting. ”
"I'm a little surprised, too." Tang Hua nodded and smiled the same.
George Best and Colin Bale, a Manchester United legend and a Manchester City legend, it would be no surprise if these two names were just used in their own right, in countries where football is all the rage. It is not uncommon for fans to use their favorite stars to name their sons, however, these two names with a lot of origins appeared at the same time, and then Tang Hua took a fancy to them at the same time, which has to be said to be a bit incredible.
"Actually, there's one more interesting thing." After simply losing weight to Lin Sen about the experience of discovering the two, Tang Hua said, "Do you know what team these two people like?" ”
"Is there any doubt?" Lin Sen raised his head and said.
"Quite the opposite." Tang Hua said.
George, who has the same name as Manchester United legend, likes Manchester City as his favorite team. And Colin, who has the same name as Manchester City's famous name, supports Manchester United, and I have to say that when Tang Hua knew about it. He himself thought it was so strange about the world.
"It's funny." Lin Sen laughed.
"It's fun." Tang Hua also smiled, then he paused and suddenly asked, "Honestly." Lin, what do you think of these two players? ”
What do you think?
Lin Sen also followed in his heart, although Tang Hua's question was asked suddenly. But not abruptly.
As we all know, in the past FA Cup match against Manchester United, Van Gaal praised Cambridge United's cousin, if it was just that, it would be human, but what had to make Tang Hua, the Cambridge United manager, wary of it, was that Van Gaal also praised two players by name, and these two players were not the excellent goalkeeper Dahn in the first leg, nor the excellent Manchester United veteran Chadwick who came off the bench, but the two youngest players in the Cambridge United team: George and Colin.
Of course, with just one game and a few kind words from Louis van Gaal, Tang Hua doesn't feel that he needs to worry about being poached, however, this is not a good sign for him, don't forget, Manchester United's academy is well-known in Europe, eighteen-year-old Colin and nineteen-year-old George, although the two are past that optimal age, but this does not rule out that they will not fall into the eyes of the all-pervasive Manchester United scouts.
To use an inappropriate metaphor that may make Manchester United fans unhappy and secretly happy, they are not afraid to steal or worry. Once they are remembered by Manchester United, if George and Colin have really grown enough to make their hearts tick, then it's time to pick peaches. How many League Two players can turn down an offer from Manchester United?
"Yes, if the development is good, it is not impossible to play in the Premier League." Lin Sen thought for a moment and said.
"So optimistic about them?" Tang Hua was a little surprised.
If Linson puts this assessment on Manchester City's youth team, then it may not be a good assessment, but it is important to know that Cambridge United are only in League Two.
"Otherwise, why did you make one of the two of them the offensive core and the other the organizational core?" Lin Sen looked at Tang Hua and said.
"That's not a good thing." Tang Hua smiled bitterly.
"Afraid of being poached?" Lin Sen immediately guessed Tang Hua's thoughts, and then he shook his head.
"I can't help you with that. Or rather, I helped, but I could only help. ”
Tang Hua nodded helplessly.
As Manchester City's manager, Linson can certainly "help", but if he "helps", invisibly, if Manchester United really have interest in the two, it will only increase their interest. Therefore, Lin Sen can't help with this matter.
"It seems that we can only resign ourselves to fate." Just a little melancholy, Tang Hua quickly adjusted.
Lin Sen smiled slightly.
Resigned to fate is not a bad mindset at this time.
Cambridge United is still only a team in League Two, and it is really a bit unfounded to worry about what Manchester United is poaching at this time, and even if the sky falls, no one can change it, since this is the case, it is better to go with the flow-
Manuel Pellegrini remains frowning.
Because, Manchester City's poor form continues.
Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Hull City on 7 February, and a week later, they suffered a third draw at Stoke City.
With three draws in a row, Pellegrini has already heard questions about his position at the press conference, because now, Manchester City is no longer the Manchester City that "clenched" the leader Chelsea from years ago, but can only watch the opponent's back fade away.
Of course, Manchester City are still in second place, however, they are nine points behind Chelsea, a full three games, and, behind Manchester City, Southampton, who have been excellent this season, and Manchester United, who have dug countless holes at the beginning of the season, have gradually caught up, and they are only two and three points away from Manchester City.
And just when Pellegrini needed a savior the most, Boni, whom he brought in during the winter transfer period, just returned to the team last week.
In the Africa Cup of Nations, Ivory Coast triumphantly reached the final, and then defeated Ghana in the penalty shootout in the final to win the second African Cup of Nations in the history of Côte d'Ivoire.
Last night, after Manchester City had just been held to a draw by Stoke City, Linson attended a high-level impromptu meeting as the club's manager, in which Manuel Pellegrini's position was once again the main issue.
Yes, again.
This is the third time this season that Pellegrini has been the subject of discussion.
Even if Lin Sen knows that the head coach is an involuntary profession, but I have to say that a manager mentions it so frequently in the meeting, it still makes him feel a little empathetic sadness, he doesn't know how many times he has been on the "trial seat" without knowing it in the four years he has been in charge of Manchester City, but I believe that the number of times will not be less.
It turns out that the so-called trust is nothing more than the result of questioning again and again.
During the meeting, Lin Sen remained silent throughout, of course, this does not mean that he does not have an attitude, but because his attitude no longer needs to be stated.
He has never supported a team to change the coach in the middle of the season, the so-called change of coach is like a change of knife, and Lin Sen's coaching career is even in someone else's class, but that is a helpless choice in the case of the head coach taking the initiative to resign, although the change of coach is a strong medicine that is likely to have an immediate effect, but his side effects on a team are also endless.
As for what will happen to him, he no longer needs to repeat it to Manchester City's hierarchy, because he does not think Manchester City will lack experience in this area.
This meeting finally became a meeting that required Mubarak's final decision, and Mubarak still chose to stand on Linsen's side.
After the meeting, Linsen and Mubarak had another conversation in private.
Mubarak agrees with Linson, but as the club's president, he can't completely ignore other opinions, so Pellegrini's problem is just to be suppressed, not solved. That is to say, there will be meetings like this, and if Pellegrini still fails to get Manchester City back on track, not only that, but even if Pellegrini puts Manchester City back on track, such things can't happen again and again, because not many big clubs are willing to go through such a toss.
Mubarak joked that it was because Linson had given his successor a "bad head" and that City were now not more patient with the manager, but even less patient.
In the face of Mubarak's joke, Lin Sen looked a little dark.
Noticing Lin Sen's expression, Mubarak seemed to have thought of something, and he suddenly fell silent.
However, his silence did not make the thought in Lin Sen's heart disappear, and sure enough, after a moment, Lin Sen said the last thing Mubarak wanted to hear, and what Lin Sen had said to Boya before. (To be continued......)
