On October 20, Linson sat at the pre-match press conference in Milan, Italy, and next to him, sat Richards.

It's a guest from afar, but the Italian journalist is not a hospitable host.

Whether it is the famous "Milan Sports Newspaper" or "Rome Sports Newspaper", although the question asked does not sound inappropriate, but Lin Sen feels that it sounds a little awkward, Lin Sen once thought it was just his own illusion, but soon, he knew that this was not his own illusion, because Richards, who was sitting next to him, was obviously not right, and Lin Sen quickly understood what the problem was.

It's about the tone.

A tone of course.

This made Lin Sen smile a little dumbfounded in his heart, where did this sense of superiority come from?

Linsen has long heard that Italian reporters are mostly conceited, this country that once had a "small World Cup", in a sense, is somewhat similar to England, has a glorious history, and has a "unique" national plot, the difference is that the Premier League has become one of the best leagues in the world, and Serie A is falling, it is worth mentioning that last season's "open" Inter Milan helped Serie A retain four Champions League seats this season to avoid being surpassed by the Bundesliga, but for a period of time in the future, They had to stay away from the Champions League.

Lin Sen, who had just led Manchester City out of the quagmire and the two national team coaches, was not in a good or bad mood at this time, but he was really not in the mood to accompany the Italian reporter to "vindictively", so he just answered a few questions perfunctorily, and he ended the press conference hastily.

This time to Italy, Linson brought a total of 18 men, who happened to be starters and substitutes, but among these 18 people, there were also three members from the youth team, Boyata, Xander and McGeeven.

This is naturally not Linsento, not to mention that Inter Milan is the defending champion, this trip to Meacha. Admiral Cheng Dù will decide the first place in this group, because the two teams are currently on the same number of points, and if Manchester City can qualify as the group leader, then the first stage of the knockout stage of the same country avoidance and the group leader will not meet, will minimize the chances of Manchester City meeting a strong team in the knockout round, so no matter how you look at this game, Manchester City should try their best.

Since it is not a big deal, it can only be a helpless move, and it is indeed a helpless move. Because the "FIFA virus" has just invaded Manchester City, a total of as many as four Manchester City players have hung up their exemption cards. And almost all of them are key players, including Arjen Robben, David Silva, Vincent Kompany and veteran captain Dunn. To put it mildly, the current Manchester City, the front and back are lacking the core, Linsen can take the missing Manchester City to beat Blackpool away from home, but Inter Milan?

If it's just the team's offense that is damaged, then Linson doesn't mind playing defensive counterattacks with Inter Milan, anyway, it's away, and there's no shame at all. A draw was an acceptable result, but right now, Lin Sen is really not optimistic, because he has no foundation for defense and counterattack. Kompany's absence was fatal, not because he was the captain, but because of his role in defence, with Linson having a number of options at centre-back. But Kompany has always been the main force that cannot be beaten, and generally Lin Sen's choice of a central defender partner is basically Kompany's routine.

And now. His absence, combined with Dunn, leaves Linson with only one pair left in this game, and that is David Luiz partnering Cahill. It's not that Lin Sen is not optimistic about this pair, but in his memory, this was once Chelsea's main center-back combination, mainly because the two have partnered together in training, and the number of times they have partnered in official matches is really rare.

But right now, Lin Sen also has to face his scalp.

In the warm-up before the start of the game, Adriano, who returned to the Meazza stadium, was booed, and Adriano did not react excessively, the boos were normal, but it was a little strange that there was no boos, Adriano used to be the king here, he and Martins were regarded as a "ten-year combination" by Inter President Moratti, but now, whether it is Martins or him, they have gone their separate ways, and the way Adriano left Meazza is even more shameful, of course, this shame, Most of the time Adriano is to blame.

However, in this game, Linsen did not plan to start Adriano. After the start of the game, unlike the European Super Cup, Linsen plans to play a simpler game, that is, English 442. Bale and Wright Jr. were on the flanks, with Javi Martinez in midfield partnering Yaya Toure and Falcao and Luis Suarez starting up front.

And it was such a simple Manchester City that caught Inter Milan off guard. In the 11th minute, Manchester City knocked on the door of Inter Milan first, Bale broke through an inverted triangle pass on the wing, and Yaya Toure cut in the back row to score a long-range shot.

The backwardness of the score not only did not suppress the momentum of Inter Milan, but aroused the morale of Inter Milan fighting at home. After that, the game fell into the rhythm of Inter. Before the end of the first half, Inter Milan finally equalized, Eto'o, who had been playing on the left wing, suddenly switched positions with Pandev, and the huge change of style caught Bridge by surprise, Eto'o just a few simple changes of speed to shake Bridge to the ground.

Lin Sen on the sidelines shook his head a little in his heart, sure enough, the "fall" of Bridge in his memory was not only the impact of the turmoil, he was still too naïve in the summer transfer period, just when he was thinking about whether he should consider changing to a left-back, Eto'o had already entered the penalty area, David Ruiz stopped Eto'o's man, but did not stop his ball, the ball went backwards, and Pandev on the other side easily outflanked it.

The first half ended in a draw, which was acceptable for Manchester City, but in the second half, it was Inter Milan who took the lead.

Stankovic's long-range shot from 30 yards out gave Joe Hart a beautiful leap that stretched out but didn't touch the ball.

2-1, Inter Milan overtook the score.

At a time when the score remained unchanged for 75 minutes and Manchester City's game was still not improving, Linson gave it a go, and he replaced Reus and Di Maria in succession, removed left-back Bridge and Falcao who was inactive under the supervision of Samuel on the other side, Bale retreated to the left-back position, Di Maria replaced, and Reus stood in the forward position. Four-four-two became the more familiar four-three-three-one for Manchester City.

Back in the familiar routine, Manchester City played a beautiful attacking combination, but unfortunately the luck was not on City's side, Suarez faced the empty goal and sent the ball to the post.

Suarez, who missed the opportunity, fell to his knees and sighed in the sky.

Lin Sen, who was ready to celebrate, spread his hands helplessly, and in the end, Manchester City still failed to turn the sky in Meacha, and the score of 1-2 was maintained to the end.

At the post-match press conference, Lin Sen generously congratulated Inter Milan, but in the face of the Italian reporter's "high" question: whether this is the time for the Champions League winner to win the Europa League. Lin Sen did not hesitate to mock: Of course, the UEFA Super Cup is just a friendly match.

Lin Sen's statement was immediately understood by the Italian media as evidence of not admitting defeat, but, so what? Lin Sen respects Inter Milan, but is not the well-known Italian media.

After losing the game against Inter Milan, Manchester City are still in second place in the group with FC Twente drawing at home to Werder Bremen in their other game in the group. But compared to losing a Champions League match, for Manchester City fans, they are more worried about whether this defeat will become the fuse for another round of "degenerate". Three days later, Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Arsenal, which only reinforced those fears.

However, Lin Sen didn't have any worries about this, because he knew. There was no problem with the team's morale, and the defeat to Inter Milan and the draw at home to Arsenal was not something he was trying to make excuses. But this has a lot to do with the absence of several main players of Manchester City, if the combination of David Luiz and Cahill is barely passable, then Wright Jr. has no way to make up for Robben's absence, and the weaker team is a little better, but in the face of strong teams, Wright Jr. is still too modest.

Speaking of these, it had to be a while in advance of Linsen's "verbal battle" with Belgium's head coach Leckens and Dutch coach Van Marwijk, Linsen first bombarded Lekens for letting him play when Kompany was injured, and then pointed the finger at the Dutch coach Van Marwijk, who had just led the Dutch team to the World Cup runner-up, saying that the opponent's use of Robben had a problem.

For Linsen's bombardment, first of all, Belgian coach Leckens responded: He has a team doctor and doesn't need Linsen to tell him if his players can play, ironizing Linsen's previous identity as a team doctor, while the more big-name Van Marwijk simply told Linsen to shut up, and he doesn't need him to point fingers at his own people.

Then Lin Sen gave a more fierce response to the remarks of the two in an interview with the media: Dunn is also injured, David Silva is also injured, why don't I blame Trapattoni or Bosque, some people just refuse to admit their mistakes, for them, maybe the player is just a prop, they only work, but they don't care about the consequences.

……

A battle in which Lin Sen scolded one against two in the air, and later led to the "fun" of big-name coaches such as Ferguson and Wenger, which directly became a "contradiction" between the club and the national team.

However, this is not Ferguson and Wenger's intention to "maintain" Linsen, in the final analysis, Linsen's situation this time is not a special case, at present, FIFA has not yet introduced a "club protection plan", once a player is injured in the national team game, basically all the losses are "digested" by the club alone. After all, the national team doesn't pay the players, the club does. (To be continued......)
