Lin Sen was wearing sunglasses and was sitting in an inconspicuous corner of the stands at this time, looking like an ordinary fan.

His eyes were focused on the field most of the time, and he would look at the figure on the sidelines, and occasionally look up at the sky.

Lin Sen has almost forgotten the last time he watched a game in such a stadium, the open-air stadium, for fans, the most afraid is to encounter a rainy day, once it rains, not only the excitement of the game is often discounted, even if he is fully armed, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape the fate of the soup chicken.

Therefore, Lin Sen's luck today is not bad, he caught up with a good weather, cloudy and rainless, the temperature is not high or low, and the sun only occasionally comes out to show his face.

At this time, the two teams playing on the field, both in terms of score and shape, are equally divided, just like the two world-famous universities in the two cities represented by the two teams.

University of Cambridge, and University of Oxford.

These two historic universities have been in a silent competition for hundreds of years, whether it is Oxford or Cambridge, they like to call each other "another place", which is the same meaning that Barcelona people like to call "that person" when they mention Mourinho, but the two universities are actually quite related, and even in the English vocabulary, people have coined a collective term for these two universities: Oxbridge (Oxbridge). In the twenties of the nineteenth century, a pair of friends who studied at two universities had the idea of starting what would later become a battle of honor between the two universities: the rowing race.

The contest between the two universities continues to the contest between the two cities, and the contest between the two cities. It continues to the current contest between these two teams.

It's certainly not a derby, it's just a derby.

It's just that for Tang Hua, in this game, I'm afraid he has no way out.

On the football field, whether it is Cambridge United or Oxford United, it seems that they do not see the demeanor of their city university, and after three games played in League Two, Oxford United have one win and two losses, and they are eighth from the bottom. Cambridge United drew one and lost two, and they are still third from the bottom. It's fair to say that it's an inconsequential game for League Two standings, but it's a must-win game for both teams.

Not many coaches can afford to lose three of their four games, no matter who that manager is, no matter how low the starting point of this team is.

Seventy-five minutes have passed, and time is running out.

Tang Hua at this time. There is inevitably some anxiety in my heart, but unlike the first game, this anxiety is different now.

The first game. His mind was completely disrupted, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a mess, and now, although he was just as anxious. But his mind can still be completely focused on the game, thinking about what is wrong with his team. What questions does the other party have that can be used for himself, even if he knows that Lin Sen is in the stands at this time-

"You're a tourist?"

Just as Lin Sen shifted his gaze to Tang Hua again, a voice came from beside him.

Lin Sen turned his head, and it was a middle-aged man who spoke, with a slightly bloated figure, wearing a certain blue cap, with a neglected beard, looking at himself with blue eyes, as if he was telling him what Lin Sen was saying to him.

Lin Sen nodded, there is actually something fresh in his heart, now in England, there are not many people who don't know this face, this is not Lin Sen's arrogance, just the fact, there are not many Oriental faces in Europe, and even fewer people are familiar, although he wears sunglasses, but at such a distance, Lin Sen didn't expect to sit on the opposite side and didn't recognize himself.

Perhaps, I didn't expect it?

"Because he came to watch the game, right?" The man smiled heartily, then bowed his chin in the direction of Tang Hua below the stands, and stretched out his hand as he spoke, "Mike Dawson." ”

"Forest." Lin Sen hesitated, stretched out his hand and shook it with the other party, and said undeniably, "A lot of people have come to watch his game recently?" ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Mike shrugged his shoulders, not knowing whether to laugh at himself or mockingly, and said, "Now England is the world of the Chinese." ”

Lin Sen just smiled at Mike's words, and then asked, "What do you think of Tang's level?" ”

"How?" Hearing this, Mike glanced at Lin Sen with a strange gaze, and then smiled weirdly, "What do you want to hear?" True, or false? ”

"Of course it's true."

"Shit." Mike really didn't give any face, and just said, "At least so far." ”

Lin Sen suddenly shook his head with a little crying and laughing, but he didn't refute the other party.

Having been a head coach, he knows very well that professional football is a very utilitarian sport, beautiful football? That's based on victory, and even the world's admired Barcelona, without which it would be impossible to talk about beautiful football. So, Mike's words may be vulgar and ugly, but they are not rough.

No manager can get praise for not winning three games, and even if he did, it wouldn't be true.

"But you're here anyway." Lin Sen said.

"Of course." "This is our team, even if it's shit, who else do you expect to support them but us?" Besides, supporting the team does not necessarily mean supporting the coach. ”

"So, you've lost faith in him?"

"Nope." Mike shook his head, "I just think that Don still needs to prove himself. We all know he's a coach from a big team and an assistant to that Forest, but he should know that this is not Manchester. ”

"It seems that his luck is not bad...... Lin Sen smiled.

"Haha." McHaha laughed, "Cambridge United weren't even a professional team last year, we all know that, and how to put it, there aren't many people who are willing to come from a big team like Manchester to a small team like ours, and that alone makes Don worth a little more patience......

……

While watching the game, Lin Sen chatted with Mike, an ordinary fan who had never known his life.

Tong guò chat. Lin Sen knew that Mike was a taxi driver, which could actually be seen from his familiar accosting, as he said, although Cambridge is world-famous, it is not a big city in the United Kingdom, and it is even smaller in the football map of England, so Cambridge United fans are basically locals.

Meanwhile. From Mike's words, Lin Sen also heard something that surprised him, that is, for the current results of Cambridge United, Tang Hua's situation did not seem to be as bad as he imagined.

If Mike is not an isolated case, then, if nothing else is said at the moment, at least in the eyes of Cambridge United fans, Tang Hua's handsome position. It's still steady.

Even if the game is lost.

Of course, in this game, Tang Hua did not lose in the end. It's just that he couldn't win, and the score of 1-1 was maintained to the end.

With four games, two draws and two defeats, it seems that Cambridge United are still hanging behind the League Two tables.

"I'm sorry." When I met Lin Sen. Tang Hua, who was obviously not very emotional, apologized at the first time, because this was originally the game he thought was the most promising to win, but in the end. He still couldn't win the game in front of Lin Sen's eyes.

"Just in the stands, I had a moment of conversation with one of your fans." Regarding Tang Hua's apology, Lin Sen did not tell him not to apologize casually as before, but said calmly, "Do you want to know what he thinks of you?" ”

Tang Hua was stunned for a moment and did not speak.

"Shit." Like Mike, Lin Sen did not save any face for Tang Hua, but directly relayed Mike's words. Then, Lin Sen didn't look at Tang Hua's reaction and continued, "But when I asked him if he had lost confidence in you, he said no. ”

'Because he thinks you need time, and Cambridge United need time. Of course, this is his idea. Speaking of this, Lin Sen looked at Tang Hua and said, "What about you?" ”

Tang Hua's love can't escape Lin Sen's eyes.

Tang Hua is a genius, but he is also a young genius, and he is far from being able to be moody, so even if Lin Sen does not use his "fiery eyes", Tang Hua's face instantly turned pale when he first heard that word, it was enough to tell everyone what he thought in his heart.

Looking at Tang Hua, who was still silent, Lin Sen finally smiled, and he patted the other party's shoulder.

"This is far from the worst moment. Tang Dynasty. You've been there for me since I came to England and you should know what the really hard times are like. So, at this time, you should look on the bright side. Like the fan I just told you about, don't you think it's funny? ”

Tang Hua finally smiled.

The manager can choose the team, but not the fans. It is the manager's ability to meet a good team, and it is the manager's luck to meet a good fan.

A fan who scolds you shit, funny? If that's all there is to it, then of course it's a cheap idea. But what if this fan dares to scold you to your face on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is equally guilty of supporting you in the stands without regrets? Is this kind of fan better than those fans who can only "share wealth and prosperity but not hardship", and "sing praises for virtue and virtue when they win, and scold their father and mother when they lose"?

Seeing Tang Hua's change in love, Lin Sen knew that his trip was not in vain. As for the tuition fee, you still have to pay it after all, and not many people can avoid this.

"I was going to give you a meal, but the club has some business to attend to and I have to get back to Manchester. Change next time, I hope that the next time I come, I can see a victory. ”

Lin Sen came and went in a hurry, Tang Hua didn't even have time to talk to Lin Sen about some tactical doubts, Lin Sen's car had already gone away, and it was only at this time that Tang Hua remembered what kind of background Lin Sen came to Cambridge this time.

After all, Bell's soap opera, even in Cambridge, has no shortage of audiences. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
