Lin Sen once thought he was content.

Finding eleven starters who could not be "worried" at all, and eleven substitutes who needed to be "worried" a little bit by themselves, was his initial ideal when he became a manager. It should be said that with two major plug-ins, such an ideal is still only time for Lin Sen to realize it. But now, Lin Sen found that his ideals seemed to be more and more inclined to turn into ambitions.

Ideals and ambitions, the former always positive and the latter always negative, sound like two completely different emotional colors. It's just that in reality, the difference between the two is far less than people think. A man wants to marry a beautiful wife, this is called ideal, and a man wants to marry ten beautiful wives, this is called ambition. Therefore, ideals and ambitions are actually the same thing, but the difficulty is different.

Of course, Lin Sen didn't want to marry ten wives, he just found that it was becoming more and more difficult for him to choose.

Five years later, Bale and Di Maria can be described as the words "Wolong and Phoenix Chicks in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which one of them is enough to ensure that a team has no worries on the left side. Coincidentally, both of them played for Real Madrid in their memories, but like Wolong and Phoenix, these two were destined to be difficult to stay at the same time, so when Real Madrid introduced Bale, Di Maria became a "victim".

And now, Lin Sen has got Bale and has grabbed Di Maria with one hand, but Mendes's news has made Lin Sen realize that he may lose Di Maria.

If you think about it with your ass, Di Maria must prefer to join Real Madrid, even if Real Madrid is now overwhelmed by Barcelona, but in the face of one of the biggest rich and handsome in football, not many players can resist the temptation, compared with Real Madrid, Manchester City, which is poor and only has money left, is scum, so. After Mendes told him that Limson Di Maria already knew about Real Madrid's interest, Linsen's first reaction was to smile wryly.

Obviously, Mendes's favor is not so simple. Lin Sen is not an agent, but he is clear about the agent's set, not to mention anything else, only contract negotiation, the more teams that bid, the more room the agent can fight for. In this regard, although it may seem that Real Madrid's intervention has put pressure on Manchester City, in fact. Manchester City is not the pressure of Real Madrid? Moreover, Mendes also hopes to use Manchester City to test Real Madrid's attitude, because if Manchester City officially intervenes, then it will be clear how interested Real Madrid will be.

What to do? Now the multiple-choice question is in front of Lin Sen.

For the winter transfer, Linsen's original intention was to stay unchanged and respond to all changes. But the plan could not catch up with the change, first Robinho left, and he had the idea of strengthening the back against Everton. If the former is still in the plan, and the latter is just a momentary thought, then the subsequent injury of Bale makes Lin Sen have to think carefully. It's just that Lin Sen didn't think of Di Maria.

On the one hand, this is because Bale's injury has been long or short, although nominally after Bale's injury Linson only has one Petrov left, but in fact, Linson still has a lot of options, David Silva and Robben are famous for their position as a left winger. Suarez is not impossible to pull back to play, so six weeks, reduce the rotation. No matter how you can hold on, not to mention that with Lin Sen's plug-in, Bell's recovery period can be a little shorter.

On the other hand, there is Di Maria's labor certification. Thanks to World Cup qualifying, Di Maria's international appearances have increased a lot in recent months, but they are still a little short of the standard of labor certification. Manchester City's talent clause has been applied to Mr. David Luiz this season, so on Di Maria's labor certificate, Manchester City has no room to manoeuvre, meeting the standard is meeting the standard, not meeting the standard is not meeting.

This means that even if Manchester City intend to exercise their right of first refusal now, Di Maria will not be able to join in the winter and will have to remain on loan at Benfica until the next transfer window. But now, Real Madrid has forced Linsen to take this path, because this is the only way for Manchester City to avoid going head-to-head with Real Madrid on this deal, while Real Madrid is still tentative, while the players know that Real Madrid is just a test for the time being.

After weighing it, Lin Sen quickly made a decision: to make an offer for Di Maria.

He really didn't have the confidence to compete with Real Madrid in the summer, not because our army was too incompetent, but because the enemy army was too strong.

As the winter transfer season draws into the late stages, Manchester City are just getting ready to enter, while the rest of the Premier League's biggest teams are ready to pull out.

Smalling's battle ended with Ferguson's victory for 10 million pounds, but in the same way that Linson intends to bring in Di Maria, Smalling will remain at Fulham on loan until the end of this season, and will not officially report to Manchester United next season. Liverpool, on the other hand, made a deal that was applauded by the British media, bringing in from Atletico Madrid a man who was not a stranger to Linson: former Atletico captain Maxi Rodriguez, way? Free rental. Unlike Rafael Benitez, Arsene Wenger, who lost in the race for Smalling, made a move that surprised the entire Premier League, which was the re-signing of veteran Saul Campbell.

That's right, it's the Campbell who grew up in Tottenham and became famous but eventually went to the city rival Arsenal on a free transfer, and was regarded as Judas by Tottenham fans, although it turned out that Campbell made the right decision, he won two league titles in five years with Arsenal, but his end at Arsenal was not good, 06 years, Wenger thought that Campbell no longer had the strength to play for Arsenal, and chose to let him leave on a free transfer to Portsmouth, last season, Campbell, whose contract with Portsmouth expired, fell to League Two, No one expected that at this time, Wenger would actually bring him back to Arsenal.

As for Chelsea, winter is still quiet......

On January 27, the 23rd round of the Premier League, Manchester City challenged West Ham United away, Linson suffered another blow in this campaign, Petrov left the field with an injury in the thirteenth minute, Linsen had to let David Silva move to the left side, and in the position of the midfielder, Ireland was used, but the result was not satisfactory, Manchester City was finally drawn 1-1 by West Ham United away, ending a five-game winning streak, and the winning Chelsea continued to take the lead.

The results of Petrov's injury examination after the game were more optimistic, but the Bulgarian still has to be out for two weeks, which makes people unlucky to even drink water, and in the first half of the season, Manchester City's left side needs to make Linsen think about how to allocate his playing opportunities, and now, Linsen has been forced to tear down the east wall and make up for the west wall.

Two days later, the standard of this year's European winter transfer was born: Di Maria, 20 million, still made by Manchester City.

Lin Sen finally caught up with Real Madrid and grabbed Di Maria, although he was somewhat helpless. On this deal, Marwood and Linsen agree that Di Maria is not a new target, if it weren't for the labor certification, he should have joined in the summer, and now he is joining, it is just a continuation of the summer transfer work, and the transfer budget left over from the summer is used, and Di Maria is excellent at Benfica this season, if it is not for the "agreement" with Benfica in advance, with Benfica's virtue, 20 million may not be able to win the Argentine.

As Di Maria will continue to play for Benfica in the second half of the season, Manchester City has introduced as many as four supernumerary players this season, and the Bend brothers, Falcao, and Di Maria are exactly in the two teams. It is worth mentioning that Falcao's Manchester City identity actually played a certain role in Di Maria's decision. The two are currently complementing each other at Benfica, working together happily on the pitch and off the pitch, and if Di Maria chooses to join Manchester City, then the two may even be able to book a plane ticket together next season. As for the temptation of Real Madrid, as Mendes said before, the most important thing is always the offer. Lin Sen had to quote at this time, isn't it just for such an advantage.

As for Benfica, when Manchester City officially made an offer, it was actually not without Falcao's thoughts, during which they once proposed to Manchester City a very tempting proposal: to use Falcao's ownership plus 10 million in exchange for Di Maria. This Jianyì, who was slightly impressed by Ma Wood, was naturally rejected by Lin Sen.

Daydream about your sister.

Manchester City bought a left winger, which is understandable to the British media, because Manchester City's injury is there, but Manchester City signed Di Maria, which made the British media confused, and they put the strange transfer even before Wenger brought in Campbell. Because Di Maria didn't join until next season. It's like a man burning his eyebrows and ordering a bucket of water to be delivered tomorrow.

On January 30, ahead of the home game against Portsmouth, Linson's answer to media questions about the transfer was official: Di Maria is an outstanding talent, he has already proven his quality in Portugal, and he is an important investment for us next season. As for the question of why the media wanted to introduce it at this time even though they knew that they could not join immediately, they avoided answering it anyway.

In this game, Linsen used Suarez on the left winger and Bellamy up front, unlike the previous game, this time Linsen's attempt had a good effect, Suarez who dropped winger assisted Bellamy for the first goal, and then he planned a second goal to help David Silva seal the win for Manchester City.

With the final game of January in the season, the winter transfer market is just under two days away.

Lin Sen thought that this winter would be like this, but in fact it was not. Because, on the last day, Livermore called. (To be continued......)
