"What do you think?"

In normal times, Ferguson would never have asked his assistant such a thing for a piece of news from a newspaper, what virtues did he not know about the British media? An old hen can blow into a space chicken with two occasional flutters, and you are a fool if you take it too seriously.

"Smoke bombs?" Mike Ferran didn't dare to answer too sure, because he couldn't figure out the purpose of Ferguson's questioning, which was usually dismissive of such information.

"Not all." Ferguson shook his head.

In fact, when I first saw the report, Ferguson also thought that this was just Linson setting off smoke bombs, and Bale would not come back early or late at this time? Training is not open in the morning and late at this time? But after calming down and thinking about it, he felt that this smoke bomb was probably not all smoke.

Ferguson never believed that one person could be above the team, but at the same time, he admitted that there are people on the football field who can single-handedly change the game, and he has had such players under his staff, and there are more than one, although most of them are getting older, and the most famous of them is none other than Cristiano Ronaldo, who has left for Real Madrid.

In the last game against Manchester City, Bale gave Ferguson a glimpse of that potential. Yes, it's just potential, but it's not negligible. Regardless of whether Linson is setting off smoke bombs or not, it is already a fact that Bale has participated in joint practice, which means that he has the possibility of playing on the field, and as long as there is such a possibility, Ferguson must consider countermeasures.

Thinking of this, Ferguson couldn't help but think of Manchester City's value of bringing in Bale, 27 million......

I can't talk about regrets, but it seems that he should hold on to it now, but it's too late to say anything, and he's not a person who likes to regret in the first place.

Not far away, Ferguson was discussing with Ferran how to deal with Bale, while Linson was also discussing one of the other with Dina.

The reason is with Dina. Instead of following Tang Hua, it's because this person is Scholes.

"Don't you think Paul Scholes can start?" Lin Sen said thoughtfully.

"Why do you think it's football life?" Dina said lightly, "Thirty years old is generally considered to be a dividing line for the physical state of football players, excluding mental factors, that is, after the age of thirty, the player's physical state will change from prosperity to decline, this process is irreversible, because this is the law of nature, the player himself can do." It's just slowing down as much as possible. The so-called second spring of the player or something, in fact, is just a stage when the condition is better, and this stage is definitely not too long. Of course, the age of thirty is not so absolute. The average football player, if there is formal professional training, personal diet and daily life and other aspects are more self-disciplined, generally this dividing line will be delayed for a year or two, but it is also absolutely impossible to be too long. So. Most of the players value their football lives very much, but some of them die for themselves. ”

Speaking of this, Dina couldn't help but tease, "Like Adriano before." ”

"Hasn't he all changed his ways? Don't be so harsh. Lin Sen smiled bitterly.

"Reform? It's that simple. Dina snorted coldly, "Although Adriano's physical condition has indeed recovered now, if he can maintain his peak until he is thirty years old, then." Now he may only be twenty-nine or even twenty-eight. People can forget what they did wrong, but the body can't forget it. ”

"Uh...... Let's talk about Scholes. As soon as he heard Dina talk about this, Lin Sen was a little guilty.

Previously, in order to make Ade "wake up". He even built a yì Rinaldi simply let Adriano indulge for a while, according to Dina, even if he is not the mastermind, he can be regarded as an accomplice, although it is also a helpless move, if there is no half a year, where would Adriano come from now? But in the end, I still feel a little wrong.

"Being able to play until the age of 35 and still be able to establish himself in a team like Manchester United, Scholes's professional attitude is of course undoubted, but no one can still maintain the peak physical condition at the age of 35, I am not the physical coach of Manchester United, I don't know the detailed number of the other party, but judging from the number of appearances he has played this season, I can be sure that Scholes's current physical fitness, if it is an ordinary game, may be possible, but in an important game like tomorrow's final, he is definitely not enough to support 90 minutes."

"So you think he's more likely to come off the bench?"

"Don't you think so?" Dina asked rhetorically.

Lin Sen thought for a moment and nodded slowly.

Indeed, if he had a player like Paul Scholes, he would have saved him for the most crucial moments. It's just that if Paul Scholes doesn't start, then the replacement will still be the same as before? Park?

Speaking of Park Ji-sung, Lin Sen couldn't help but think of an incident that happened the day before yesterday.

Park Ji-sung is Korean, Lin Sen is Chinese, both Asian faces, and there are always good media who like to make a small article on this point, especially the media related to both sides. Due to the opening of training in the past two days, Lin Sen met a Korean media from afar, at first Lin Sen thought that the other party had gone to the wrong place, but as soon as he heard the other party's question, he knew that it was not.

For similar interviews, Lin Sen, who had previously been interviewed by domestic media, was not surprised. Asia is widely regarded as one of the five continents lacking in football soil, and it is understandable that the desperate desire to be recognized by others has finally sprouted. Therefore, Lin Sen didn't plan to sweep the other party's face, but just affirmed Park Ji-sung.

As a Chinese, although Lin Sen has not yet been fraternized to the point of being more intimate with Park Ji-sung because they are all Asians, but purely from the perspective of a coach, Park Ji-sung is indeed the kind of player that most managers will like, running on the field and never giving up, no matter whether the state is the best or not, this kind of player can benefit the team, not to mention, Park Ji-sung is also very comprehensive, can play almost all positions in the midfield.

Of course, if the Korean media ends here, it will be fine, and Lin Sen doesn't care how obscene the other party is after he goes back, but after hearing Lin Sen's affirmation of Park Ji-sung, the other party obviously had an old problem again, and his self-confidence swelled, and he directly asked if Manchester United won tomorrow, would you congratulate Park Ji-sung.

Lin Sen was tired of it on the spot, and he directly asked: Are you sure it wasn't him who congratulated me?

The impromptu interview, which was already in a hurry, just broke up unhappily.

At the moment of the competition, this matter can only be regarded as a small episode, but now it seems that Park Ji-sung is still a point that Lin Sen has to consider. Thinking of this, Lin Sen also hates iron for Chinese football, when can you give others this kind of question? ――

On February 28, from Manchester to London, today is destined to be a small "migration".

This season's Carabao Cup final will be between two Manchester teams, and they will face off at Wembley Stadium in London, which is regarded by the British as a sporting icon.

As the home of the England national team, the current Wembley Stadium is called the new Wembley Stadium, because at the beginning of this century, Wembley Stadium was rebuilt, and the process of rebuilding, due to the intervention of all parties, from the demolition of the old Wembley to the start of the new Wembley construction, the debate has not stopped, and the construction cost has been rising in the discussion, until the final completion of the stadium, the construction cost has been more than double the initial estimate, approaching a staggering 800 million pounds.

The £800 million investment has also made the new Wembley Stadium one of the best in the world, currently the largest stadium in England with 90,000 seats. The most obvious difference between the new Wembley and the old Wembley is that the famous landmark Wembley Twin Towers has been transformed into a 133-metre-high arch, and at night, the "Rainbow Bridge" that glitters over London is the most beautiful sight.

However, Lin Sen may not be able to see this scenery this time, because the game time is 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Of course, this does not prevent everyone from subconsciously looking out the window at the huge arch that seems to pass through the sky, and the familiar players will point to the arch with a smile while following the teammates next to them......

The mentality of the team is good.

Lin Sen was the first to shift his gaze back from the landscape, he glanced at the feelings of the team members in the bus, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At the critical moment, Dina is still trustworthy, although she told Sù Linsen that it is absolutely impossible to achieve the effect of a week in three days, but in Linsen's eyes, the players who started in the Chelsea game have recovered almost enough. For this game against Manchester United, in terms of time, it is impossible for Lin Sen to do too much targeted training, and physical recovery has become the focus, but fortunately, the two sides have already played each other once, at least, Lin Sen does not need to worry about his team being at a loss for Manchester United's midfield like in the last leg.

Manchester City's bus arrived at Wembley Stadium before Manchester United, and along the way, fans from both sides of Manchester could be seen everywhere outside the car window, and the Manchester City bus undoubtedly caused a commotion, compared to more Manchester United fans who were just watching coldly, Manchester City fans who had not yet lined up to check in for the ticket to enter the stadium immediately surrounded it.

"Manchester City must win!"

"Champion! We want a championship! ”

……

As soon as the car door opened, all kinds of shouts and cheers clearly reached the ears of everyone in the bus, Lin Sen smiled slightly and stood up from his seat.

"Alright, guys, the battlefield has arrived." (To be continued......)
