Cities of faith often make no secret of their hostility towards their enemies.

This is not Linson's first visit to Barcelona, and it is likely that it will not be the last.

For fans, the name Barcelona is equal to the team, and, due to the growing influence of Barcelona football, more and more people who are not fans have begun to have such a subconscious. Lin Sen, who was still the team doctor before, still has the impression of Barcelona as the pearl of the Iberian Peninsula. But now, Lin Sen, who is already the head coach, has to admit that he is gradually being assimilated.

Football can change many people's impression of a city. For example, Milan, the fashion capital, London, the capital of the United Kingdom, and Madrid, how many fans don't think of football when they mention the names of these cities? So, sometimes, you have to believe that football can also be a belief.

When Linson led his Manchester City to land at Barcelona Airport, he felt stunned and stunned.

There was no imaginary welcome, no imaginary demonstration, and the Manchester City team waiting to walk out of the aisle was a very new scene for them, deserted, and they didn't even see a single media reporter who liked to circle them. Therefore, it was not only Lin Sen who was stunned, but the entire Manchester City team, from the coach to the players, a total of 30 people, were stunned.

In this case, either there is a special situation at the airport, or it is deliberately arranged. Looking at the airport as usual, it is obvious that the former does not exist zài, then, it can only be the latter.

After thinking for a while, Lin Sen shook his head in his heart.

He didn't expect his team to get a warm welcome as soon as they got off the plane, and he didn't want his team to be exposed to demonstrations all over the place when they walked out of the airport, so the current situation. It's not the best, but it's not bad. The only thing that can make him sigh is perhaps the unity of the city, whether you like this team or not, you have to admit that if you are a Catalan player, then you will be happy to have such fans.

It doesn't matter what is right or wrong, what matters is that they are consistent with the outside world.

In fact. Manchester City's cold reception at the airport was not entirely due to Barcelona's falling behind Manchester City in the first leg, but perhaps a bigger trigger was the squad for Barcelona announced the day before, in which Linson brought all the players who could and could not play.

Lin Sen's approach is not new, in some key games, many team managers will have such a choice, and Lin Sen's announcement is similar to the reason for the announcement. It is nothing more than the belief that at this critical moment, the team should unite and advance and retreat together. However, Barcelonans don't think so. They see it as an invisible demonstration.

Bring in all the people, bring in the players who can't play, and someone did that last year, and the man who was called the "public enemy of Barcelona" is now the manager of their rivals. You can say it's for unity, but in their opinion. You think you have "advanced early" and you are despising Barcelona's table. Because apparently, no one is united to celebrate defeat.

Previously in an interview with World Sport. Xavi, the core of the Barcelona team, said that Manchester City's move was just to embolden himself, while Iniesta, who missed the first leg, simply avoided the question, and instead said that this is the moment when the team needs fans the most, and at the same time said that he is very confident in playing in the second leg.

As for Pep Guardiola, the current public opinion orientation is obviously what he is happy to see, the club from top to bottom, from the top to the fans, the same enemy, what reason does he have to destroy this atmosphere that he can't ask for?

After arriving at the hotel, Lin Sen held a press conference that afternoon, this time, the Barcelona media was not absent, but they were also unintentional, making things difficult, but they did not plan to cooperate well, before Barcelona's loss has been understood by themselves as an ugly football victory, the cold reception at the airport is just a small "warning" for them, and now, they just want to see if the person in front of them is angry.

But apparently, they were disappointed.

This is not the first time Linsen has been to Barcelona, and it is not the first time he has been to the media.

"May I ask Mr. Lin, we all know that this time you brought all the players, including the players who were suspended for this game......" Seeing Lin Sen's indifferent expression, a Catalan reporter finally couldn't help but ask, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Sen's wave of his hand.

"I know what you're trying to say, but I've already answered that."

"You don't think we'll accept that explanation, do you?" The Catalan reporter was obviously a little upset that his question was interrupted, and he said something-for-tat.

"Nope." Lin Sen shook his head, "I think you've made a mistake, Mr. Reporter. ”

As he spoke, his eyes were not completely at the reporter, but at the many other local reporters who were watching the play in the audience, and said lightly, "That's not an explanation, and I don't need to explain my decision to anyone." Just because someone asked, I answered, and if it caused a misunderstanding, then I'm sorry. ”

As soon as Lin Sen's voice fell, the scene was in a commotion.

The strength of Barcelona has created the arrogance of the Catalan media. In their opinion, it seems that all the teams that come here should be humble when they face them, because they are facing the best team in the world. So, when someone doesn't "care" about this and tries to change it, in their opinion, it's "rebellious".

Undoubtedly, Lin Sen is this type at the moment.

"I hope you're still so confident at the end of the game, Mr. Coach." A moment later, the Catalan journalist said with a sneer.

"You'll get it." Lin Sen smiled.

The tone is still not impatient or impatient, but the attitude is still neither humble nor arrogant-

On 4 May, just the day before, Manchester United beat Schalke 04 4-1 at home to reach the Champions League final with an aggregate score of 6-1, their second Champions League final in three years. And now, another ticket to Wembley Stadium, the venue for this season's Champions League final, will also be decided.

"Messi! He passed the last man, and now, in front of him, there is only the opponent's goalkeeper! Messi! …… GOOOOOOOOOOAL…… It's only two minutes into the show! Messi opened the door to victory for his team, Barcelona ushered in a perfect start, it seems that Lin's speech at the press conference did make a difference, haha, but now, dear Mr. Lin, do you regret angering Barcelona? ”

"Xavi's pass...... Hit the spot! Pedro! Oh no, he should adjust before shooting, he has enough time and space, it's a shame! If he had scored this goal, Barcelona would have equalled Manchester City in the scoreline. ”

"Messi! Again! Now, he is facing a siege of three people on the other side...... Pretty! He passed the ball to Andres Iniesta...... Andres ...... Iniesta! GOOOOOOALLL…… An extraordinary goal! He beat Joe Hart, he beat the whole Manchester City defence! Now, Barcelona and Manchester City are on the same page! ”

……

"Well, with the De Bricle whistle, the first half is over, there is no stoppage time! Barcelona had an extraordinary first half and if they weren't unlucky, they shouldn't have been just two goals ahead, but it doesn't matter, they still have time, enough time! ”

Barcelona, Spain, Camp Nou, 10/11 Champions League semi-final second leg, Barcelona hosts Manchester City.

The score was 2-0.

The aggregate score was two to two.

It only took half a game for Barcelona to do what Linson painstakingly asked Manchester City to do in the first leg, and it was so easy that the Spanish commentator's commentary may be biased, but he was right, if it weren't for Barcelona's bad luck, the score should not have been only 2-0.

Lin Sen couldn't hear the Spanish commentator's commentary, but he could hear boos and applause.

The boos have been thunderous since he walked into the stadium, and the applause has been overwhelming with every crisis of his team.

ESPN's live camera is always aimed at Lin Sen, because everyone knows what Lin Sen said before the game, they are not Barcelona, but they are obviously very interested in knowing what kind of expression Lin Sen will have at this time, and the result did not disappoint them, Lin Sen's face is not good, very bad.

Lin Sen could completely hide it, but he didn't want to hide it.

Before coming to this stadium, he was worried about the off-field factors more than the in-field factors, such as whether the Barcelona fans would harass his team, and what UEFA would do to the referee, especially the referee of this game, who was the same Belgian referee who made Busquets "Professor Bu" last season.

His worries are not unreasonable, Camp Nou is a big stadium, one of the largest stadiums in the world, and now, this stadium is full, although not all Barcelona fans, but the Manchester City fans who followed Manchester City here, like the hands on the clock face, although they have never given up shouting, but the position they can occupy is too small.

The pressure is not only on for Manchester City, but also on the referee.

De Brecque's home whistle is obvious, Manchester City's best pressing, is limited everywhere at the moment, only in the first half, Manchester City received three yellow cards, however, the referee is the reason for Linsen's bad face, but not the main reason.

Walking into the unusually quiet locker room, Lin Sen, who barely glanced at his players, directly threw his tactical board on the stage.

Then, there was a loud bang. (To be continued......)
