On March 29, Mendes appeared in London.

The purpose of the Portuguese agent's trip is known to the world, and he does not have to hide his whereabouts, Scolari's dismissal was unexpected by Mendes, he did not expect Abu to be so arbitrary this time, and made a decision without consulting anyone, following Mourinho, another manager under Mendes has parted ways with Chelsea, and the relationship between Mendes and Abou will inevitably have some gaps.

However, Abou still needs to deal with Mendes, because there are still many players in the Chelsea squad who are Mendes' men, Kawalu, Bosingwa, Deco...... All of them are the big players in the current Chelsea squad. Perhaps it was with this level of connection in mind that Mendes and Chelsea were quick to negotiate the price of Scolari's departure, five million.

Feelings are feelings, business is business, and after the negotiation between the two sides was completed, Abu even consulted Mendes about the new head coach's proposal, of course, just casually.

Mendez also knew that Abu just asked casually, so naturally he wouldn't really give any opinion, but a name suddenly came to mind in his mind, but soon, he smiled silently.

How can it be.

On March 30, Mansour appeared in Manchester.

Mansour's intentions are also well known, but for him it was a simple meeting, although for City fans, it was nothing less than a summit.

There weren't many people in attendance, club chairman Mubarak, executive chairman Gary Cook, and Simon Pierce. And a week earlier, it was these three men, along with a phone call with Mansour, that sentenced head coach Mark Hughes to death. So, this meeting, the theme, is still the head coach.

Gary Cook's backing is Manchester City's youth head coach Jim Cassel, who won the FA Youth Cup with the youth team just a week ago and who has been with City for over a decade and knows almost everything about the club. Simon Pierce believes that a coach should be hired directly to take over the team, and Italian coach Roberto Mancini is a good candidate at the moment.

Cook and Pierce were at loggerheads, but Mansour noticed that his friend Mubarak had not commented, and he turned his attention to the titular manager of Manchester City.

Mubarak was a little distracted because he suddenly remembered a man he had met on a plane last summer, when Manchester City was owned by former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

Seeing Mansour looking at him, Mubarak retracted his divergent attention, and he actually saw the pros and cons of both Cook and Pierce's opinions.

Manchester City's investment this season has not been paid off, at least in the league and the club's ambitions do not match, Pierce believes that since the club has decided to fire Mark Hughes, then it should be cut through the mess quickly, which is indeed conducive to the team quickly get out of the current predicament, and even the arrival of a famous coach will also help to erase the dissatisfaction of fans with the dismissal of Mark Hughes, but the downside is that the club's options are limited, and there seems to be no second choice other than Mancini, which undoubtedly makes Manchester City a little passive.

And Cook's thoughts are not difficult to understand, he believes that changing the manager at this time, no matter who comes, will not change the outcome of this season is a losing season, in this case, it is better to use raw than cooked, at the very least, the club can have enough time to find the most suitable manager.

It should be said that there is truth on both sides, so how to choose, it doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong, it is actually a decision-making relationship.

"I support Cook's decision."

After a moment, Mubarak lifted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said lightly.

Final word.

On April 2, with the end of the World Preliminary Tournament, the players who were transferred to the national team also returned to the club to prepare for the new round of the league that is about to rekindle the war.

It is worth celebrating that the four players who were transferred to the national team in Malaga all made their first numbers in their respective national teams, Lewandowski scored twice for the first time in the national team, Rondon scored for the first time in the national team, Gundogan assisted for the first time in the national team, and Gabi won the best player of the match for the first time in the national team......

If the number of the first three was all expected by Lin Sen, then Gabi, who he even thought might not play, gave him a big surprise.

In the two-legged match against Turkey, Gabi started one game as a substitute, the first home game, Gabi's play cannot be said to have changed the situation on the field, but it helped the Spanish team to clean up Turkey's counterattack and help the Spanish team win by one goal, and in the second game, in the opponent's devil's home field, Gabi became the busiest person in the Spanish team, his running distance was the first in the team, the number of ball breaks was the first in the team, and the one-on-one effective interception was still the first in the team...... It can be said that this game did not rely on a flash of inspiration goal, nor did it rely on eye-catching passes, Gabi used his own efforts bit by bit to win the best player for himself.

However, Gabi's efforts to return to the club gave Linsen a problem, two games home and away in three days, Ruiz's physical report today gave the consequences very directly: Gabi, who has always been physically outstanding, finally entered the D list for the first time, that is, physical overdraft.

As a last resort, Linsen can only let Gabi, who has almost never missed any game in Malaga except for a ban this season, enter the substitute list for the away game against Valencia, the good news is that Valencia's Emery is much more unlucky than himself, because Valencia's "national team sequelae" can be much stricter than Malaga's, and almost half of the main lineup has been withdrawn: main striker Villa, main striker David Silva, main central defender Albiol and Marchena, Spain alone took away a backbone of Valencia, plus Fernandez and Miguel of the Portuguese team......

It wasn't just the fitness that bothered Unai Emery, the team's form left him at a loss.

Unai Emery's side were unbeaten in their last meeting with Málaga, and the clash between the two teams was a key battle at the time, but this time they met, Málaga remained in the top group of the league, but Valencia has dropped to seventh place, with only four points from their last four games.

Therefore, compared to being miserable, Emery is decisive and will not lose to Linsen.

Of course, there is a misery off the field, but there is a need to be less miserable than anyone on the field.

Three days later, in the 29th round of La Liga, Malaga went to face Valencia away.

Attendance at the Mestalla Stadium this season has been a parabola, with the same record as Valencia, rising and then falling, but despite disappointment with the team's results, the Valencia fans in the stands remain patient with Emery, who is in his first season, and Valencia, who he took over, finished 10th in the league last season.

Tapia, who was sitting in the coach's box as usual, looked at the back of Linsen standing on the sidelines, and suddenly felt a little unreal, because he remembered what Linsen had said at the beginning of the season, one of which was related to Valencia in front of him.

Valencia, this season is destined for nothing.

I remember that at that time, Lin Sen's prediction was not only Valencia, but also Barcelona and Real Madrid, and almost predicted the general trend of the entire La Liga. And now, it's Valencia's turn.

It was Valencia who scored first in this game, and the scorer was David Silva in the way of a free-kick.

So far in the game, it was Malaga who took the lead, Lewandowski was the equalizer for Malaga, and Reuss took the lead for Malaga.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why Emery is restless on the sidelines like an ant on a hot pot, if he loses this game again, the point gap between Deportivo La Coruna and Valencia, which has ended the game before, is only one point, and it may surpass Valencia at any time, and seventh is already the minimum goal of Emery's commitment to Valencia.

Colomel in the box had a gloomy face as if she could squeeze out water.

In the first round, Emery lost to Linsen a 0-3, Colomel who was watching the game at home smashed his favorite set of cups clean, and in the second round, he had to pay attention to his image in the box, and naturally he couldn't smash anything again, not to mention that the live broadcast camera of the game would switch to his direction from time to time.

A trace of regret inevitably surfaced in Colomel's heart, and then a strand turned into a wisp, and a wisp became a strand...... In the end, Colommel's gloomy face became extremely complicated, as he found himself beginning to make all kinds of assumptions in his heart that he hated but could not stop.

If Linson can lead Malaga, who is known as the poorest team in La Liga, to the first group of the league, then, if he is leading Valencia, where should Valencia be now? If he is bringing Valencia, then how many people will belong to Valencia, who is now known as the "Young Guard" in La Liga?

Colomel shook his head suddenly, as if trying to get distractions out of his head. Of course, if this action falls in the eyes of the live camera, it can only be understood that he is dissatisfied with Valencia's cousin.

At this time, there was a sudden loud boo from the Metaglia Stadium.

Ten minutes ago, Reus, who had overtaken the score for Malaga, took the ball to form a breakthrough on the wing, and Lewandowski in the middle formed a flank, and in front of the two of them, there was no figure in a white jersey, only Hildebrand, who was wearing a silver and white jersey, looked at Reus with a nervous gaze like a great enemy, and looked at Lewandowski who rushed in front of him......
