Football, damn it.

This quote comes from Alex Ferguson, who was thrilled when Manchester United beat Bayern Munich in the Champions League final in '99. The world attributed that shocking comeback to Manchester United's belief in never giving up, which in turn gave football a glittering crown. But, faith? Can you trust Ferguson to believe in the last minute of the game that his team can win the final title?

Apparently, Ferguson didn't expect it either. That's why he said football is damned.

If fate has predestined Manchester United to win the title, why tease both teams like that? But this is the kind of game that I like to play the most. It's just that, even if it's Ferguson, he can't always be the last profiteer.

The press conference after the game became Lin Sen's one-man show.

Because Ferguson did not attend at all, but let his assistant coach Mike Phelan replace, and Mike Phelan, who was destined to speak only in accordance with the rules, was destined to become a supporting role, for Ferguson's absence, in fact, Lin Sen had a premonition, because when he shook hands after the game, the old man's face was obviously not good-looking, and the light emitted by him clearly told Sù Linsen that he was very unhappy at that time.

No one can be happy about being reversed.

Ferguson Ken stopped in front of the players' tunnel to shake hands with Linsen, which is already considered an "extrajudicial favor", as for the demeanor? Grace is something. Lin Sen only knew that if he lost this game, then he would definitely wish that Ferguson would not shake hands with him.

Although it was a one-man show, Linson didn't actually talk about winning a comeback that many people thought was worth talking about, and he just gave an Erikson-style answer familiar to the British media: We didn't play well in the first half, we played well in the second half, and I am happy with the result. Then, Lin Sen closed his mouth and waited for the press conference to move on to the next part.

'Was it the best game City have played so far this season?' From The Guardian.

- If the game is only 45 minutes. Lin Sen was a little cheap, and he was obedient. But that's what he really thinks, and who wants to be two goals down at half-time against Manchester United?

"This is your first time playing Sir Alex Ferguson, what do you think of him?" From The Sun.

-- He's a great coach. Lin Sen was concise, and this was not a problem at all. What does this journalist, who fears that the king of the tabloids in the world not be chaotic do, wants to do?

"Robinho hasn't played the full game in two league games in a row, does that mean there is any change in Robinho's position in the team?" From The Mirror.

- Anyway, his position is either a striker or a winger. Lin Sen pretended to be deaf and dumb, and Robinho's question was destined to be impossible to talk about in a word.

"What do you think of Bell's watch?" From The Telegraph.

-- Now. He was worth thirty million. Lin Sen's tone was very affirmative, so sure that he couldn't be more sure.

……

After the competition, there is a day off. This time, there was no reason for Lin Sen to deprive the players of their vacation again, although it was still a double game a week.

This is Manchester City's first holiday in half a month, although it is only a short day, but the whole Manchester City can have a good mood, including Chapman, who previously "threatened" the players to wash their own shirts, and Mubarak, who unexpectedly went to the dressing room to celebrate with the players after the game. In this game, Mubarak, who was originally scheduled to watch the game on the spot, had something to do at the moment. He didn't show up in the stands, but he did make it back before the end of the game.

Of course, Mubarak can only do more than to have fun. Because although he is the chairman, he is actually only a manager, but he is not really the boss, and it is naturally impossible to make a move such as a big wave of a bonus of one million. After celebrating with the players. Mubarak and Lin Sen chatted privately for a few minutes, and Mubarak invited Lin Sen to have dinner tomorrow night, and Lin Sen nodded without hesitation. It is said that when he was in Malaga, he often rubbed rice around, and when he arrived in Manchester, this habit remained the same, and Lin Sen often went to Tang Hua's side to eat, because he found that Tang Hua's cooking skills were unexpectedly good, at least better than him.

After agreeing to Mubarak, Linson went to the press conference.

"Bell is back!" The next day's "Sun" used a small idea to "plagiarize" the title of a movie Batman, and also "plagiarized" the cover of this movie, but the face of Batman on it was replaced with the face of Gareth Bell, and the only thing that did not "plagiarize" may be the name, because the starring actor of this movie is also called Bell.

After Manchester City signed Bale from Tottenham for $27 million in the summer, many people doubted whether Bale was worth the high price Man City paid, because the injury-plagued Welsh talent since his takeover by Tottenham did not give a convincing statement, and this suspicion reached a peak at the beginning of the season, because in the first three games, Bale played the whole game with zero goals and zero assists, but now, this doubt can be put to rest as it took less than twenty minutes, Bell used his watch to tell everyone: he is still the genius who can be compared to Giggs! It is worth mentioning that it was the two Welsh stars who decided the game, with Ryan Giggs providing two assists and Bale deciding the game with one pass and one shot. ”

The Sun is not the only newspaper to give all the praise to the Welshman, the Manchester Evening News and the Mirror have set their sights on him, but in fact the focus of this round is not only the Manchester derby, of course, this game is far less up-and-down than the Manchester derby, which is the London derby: Chelsea vs Tottenham.

After losing to Manchester United in the previous round, Redknapp's side lost another grumpy scoreline at Stamford Bridge: 0-3. And this game is already Chelsea's sixth win of the season, six wins in a row. Under Carlo Ancelotti's leadership, Chelsea have drawn four games and scored 18 points from six games, but even so, it may be difficult for Carlo Ancelotti to win the Coach of the Month title this month, for the same reason as last month: weight.

"Coach of the Month, Lin." That's a conclusion that Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray made directly after the livestream, and in an affirmative tone. It's not that he has any preference for Lin Sen, but in his opinion, the best coach in September is obviously still in no suspense, because this is destined to be a month for Lin Sen. There are just three league games in the whole of September, and Linson has won two of them: one against Arsenal and one against Manchester United.

Chelsea fans have every reason to feel sorry for Carlo Ancelotti, who has won six in a row, but they still have to accept it.

In September, Lin Sen was even better-

Lin Sen could finally get a good night's sleep.

Even gnawing on two hard bones, it takes a lot of effort to bother with your mouth, let alone two completely different hard bones.

After the game, Lin Sen handed it over to Tang Hua as always. What Lin Sen didn't expect was that when Lin Sen gave him this task, Tang Hua, who seemed to be speechless, finally apologized to him, for his insistence in the middle of the game, because he insisted on replacing Robinho at that time, but finally scored a goal in the game, which made Tang Hua feel that he was really a little self-righteous at that time.

I didn't expect that because of that small episode, Tang Hua would think of Lin Sen so much, and when he heard Tang Hua's apology, he couldn't help but laugh a little. This may be the legendary boss who broke his leg by moving his mouth, Lin Sen has long forgotten about that little episode, but Tang Hua can't not care because Lin Sen doesn't care.

It's just that, as Lin Sen thought at the time, although replacing Bell is definitely a substitution, the time of replacement needs to be considered.

As a technical coach, Tang Hua was not wrong from his point of view, since he wanted to make changes, it was natural to do it early. It's just that Tang Hua doesn't have Lin Sen's eyes, he doesn't know the physical condition of the players on the field, and Tang Hua is not in Lin Sen's position, he doesn't know that in a team like Manchester City, to replace a player, it is not only competitive factors that need to be considered, but also other factors, such as the identity of the replaced player. This is especially important for a newcomer like Linsen.

As for Robinho's second-half goal, it was completely unexpected. Lin Sen was not yet so nervous that he could predict that Robinho would score in the second half, so he chose not to replace him. Although in Tang Hua's opinion, this is the case.

Therefore, in response to Tang Hua's apology, in addition to patting him on the shoulder like before, Lin Sen could only say one more sentence: Don't care, if you have the opportunity to be the head coach in the future, you will naturally understand.

Seeing that Tang Hua was still skeptical, Lin Sen thought about it and added another task to him: after the post-match analysis of Manchester United, plus the post-match analysis of Arsenal in the last league game, and then make a comparative report, especially in the midfield.

For the difference between Arsenal and Manchester United's midfield, Lin Sen thought it was a difference in position when he played with Manchester United, but he always felt that there must be something in this that he didn't expect, Manchester City can defend as steadily as Mount Tai in the game against Arsenal, the same defense, but in the game against Manchester United, the first half almost became a sieve, and although Manchester City withstood the pressure in the second half, the way it was said was not what Lin Sen wanted. Foul tactics can be a means of contingency, but they must never be a regular one. Linson doesn't want to foul Manchester United again in the next leg, not to mention that in the next leg, United's midfield will undoubtedly be stronger, because their core Paul Scholes can't be out all the time.

Sending Tang Hua away, Lin Sen closed the door, returned to the bedroom, closed all the curtains, and the whole room was suddenly dark, and then, Lin Sen threw himself on the bed, closed his eyes, and made himself even darker.

Now, whoever makes him sleep, he has to fight with whomever he wants. (To be continued......)
