Bologni was pity.

Standard Liege sacrificed this season for the Europa League, and for this game, Standard Liege almost sacrificed European qualification for next season, but even so, the gap is still so obvious. And the reason why it was a disappointment rather than a disappointment was because he saw the potential of the team, and even if the gap was so obvious, Standard Liege resisted to the end.

Although it was a pity, Bologni still generously congratulated Manchester City on reaching the final, with an aggregate score of 3-6, there was no excuse for the game, and the luck of Standard Liege in the first half was good enough, but the difference in strength in the second half decided a qiē. Lin Sen, who took the microphone, first thanked Boloni for his congratulations, adhering to his style of press conference where everyone is happy or loses, Lin Sen also praised the home team's watch, saying that they are a respectable opponent, and by the way, he also praised the home team's fans.

Not every fan can give their team a round of applause when their team loses 4-1.

For Linsen, it is a good thing to qualify for the final, but in addition to being happy, there is a bit of a fly in the ointment that in this game, Manchester City consumed too much energy, David Silva played 80 minutes, Robben played 85 minutes, according to the original Linsen plan, the two should have rested earlier.

Back in Manchester, Manchester City were warmly welcomed at the airport by the Manchester City fans, and they certainly deserved to be welcomed by the fans, as they had just made history by reaching the final of the competition for the first time in their history.

With a history of more than 100 years, Manchester City have only reached one final on the European stage, in the 1970 European Cup Winners' Cup final, when Manchester City defeated Poland's Zabrzegonic 2-1 to win the title, the only European title won by Manchester City so far. It's just that now, I'm afraid many people have forgotten about this event, which was once one of the three major European cups.

The European Cup Winners' Cup has been held since 1960 and is contested against the major European cup winners, such as England, who won the FA Cup instead of the League Cup. Because of this, no team in the history of this tournament, which was suspended in 1999, has ever defended its title.

Manchester City, who reached the Europa League final, was unanimously praised by the English media, with The Times, The Guardian and The Sun ...... Both the big newspapers and the tabloids gave praise to Linson and his Manchester City, and the big newspapers were of a higher level, believing that Manchester City, which had become the only seed in the European arena, represented England at this time, and their victory. It also represents the victory of England, but as everyone knows, in this game, there is only one Englishman who starts Manchester City on the field, and that is Joe Hart, who was able to replace him because of Given's injury.

And the tabloids set their sights on head coach Lin Sen, because it was Lin Sen's substitution that became the turning point of the game, and this. It's just one of the N "magical substitutions" that Linson has made this season, and Linson, who has become the hottest manager in the Premier League this season, has now conquered all Manchester City fans, and the Daily Mail even quoted a senior Manchester City fan they interviewed as saying: We think Lin has a chance to become one of the greatest managers in Manchester City's history. I mean, he could totally surpass Alison's accomplishments.

Malcolm Allison, City's greatest manager of all time, is one of the few trophies in Manchester City's history. Almost half of them came from Allison, one of the two top-flight titles, the only European title, the FA Cup and the League Cup, and he single-handedly created the glory of Manchester City in the late sixties.

Apparently. If Linsen can finally win the league title and the Europa League this season, plus the previous League Cup, surpassing Alisson, it is not empty talk, you know, this is Linsen's first season in charge -

Unknowingly, Linsen, who engraved his name into the history of Manchester City, announced that the team would have a day off after returning from Belgium, not that he did not pay attention to the game against Aston Villa in a few days, but that at this time in the league, physical fitness has become a problem that all teams must face, but other training has become a bit routine, of course, it is not unimportant, but compared with the beginning of the season, the opponents have already known each other.

Just like Manchester City and Aston Villa, the two teams have met three times this season, one league and two legs of the League Cup, with a record of one win, one draw and one loss.

One day off vacation, Lin Sen nested in his apartment, worked as an otaku for a day, and then only did one thing, and that was to watch the game video, watch the game video of Aston Villa.

During the rest of the day, the players can let go of all their qi qi and relax completely, which is what Lin Sen wants, but for him, this is not the time for him to rest, because he knows very well: in the next game, Aston Villa is absolutely impossible to disarm, not only impossible to disarm, but also possible to fight to the death.

Because in either way, Aston Villa has no reason to give up.

In terms of the relationship between the club, it is well known that Aston Villa is the team that Manchester has contacted, although the faction has always been speculation, football pays attention to fair play, but after all, the interests are there, there are the same interests, and naturally there are different interests, obviously, compared with Manchester United, the relationship between Aston Villa and Manchester City is a little more distant.

In terms of the relationship between the head coaches, since coming to England, Lin Sen has rarely had a verbal fight with the opposing manager, but Aston Villa's manager O'Neill is an exception.

In addition to the above two subjective factors, Aston Villa have another objective reason to win, and that is their league position.

At present, Aston Villa is seventh in the Premier League with 64 points from 16 wins, 13 draws and 7 losses, excluding the four teams in the Champions League places, and in front of them are Tottenham Hotspur, who have one point ahead of them, and Liverpool, who have the same number of points and more goal difference, and Everton who have 57 points.

There are only two rounds left in the league, and such a league shape shì, simply put, is enterprising and worry-free. If it is changed to last season, Aston Villa has already ensured European qualification, and this season's Manchester City has won the Europa League qualification with such luck, but this season, although the Europa League qualification for the League Cup will be postponed to the sixth place in the league because Manchester United and Manchester City have qualified for the Champions League, but the FA Cup is between Chelsea and Portsmouth, which means that the FA Cup's Europa League qualification, regardless of whether the final is won or lost, will be Portsmouth's, and the seventh place in the league has nothing to do with half a dime.

Unfortunately, Aston Villa are now in seventh place, so they will have to fight to finish in the top six in order to qualify for Europe.

For these reasons, Linson really didn't dare to expect Aston Villa to stay in this game, in fact, Linson didn't know that if it weren't for his arrival, the relationship between Manchester City and Aston Villa should have gotten better this season, because Manchester City would have brought in Barry from Aston Villa and Miller in the future, and Manchester City's captain Dunn should have gone to Aston Villa this season, and Ireland would have joined Aston Villa in the future......

Therefore, it is not too much to say that Lin Sen is the "destroyer" of the relationship between the two clubs. It's just that now, both sides have to live and die-

It's May, a harvest month for European football.

Mansour arrived in Manchester on May 1 and will spend two days in Manchester to watch Manchester City's crucial game against Aston Villa the following day, before visiting Carrington training in the afternoon.

The first meeting with this young and unconfused, rich and powerful behind-the-scenes boss, Lin Sen did not have too many unnecessary restraints, wealth did not make him have more respect for the other party, although the number on his bank account may not be enough for a fraction of the other party, but this does not mean that he needs to rely on the other party, and the power also does not have much deterrent power on him, for no other reason, but he has seen more.

Say hello when you meet and say goodbye when you leave. Mansour came with a smile and left with a smile.

As he left, Mansour shook hands with Linsen for the second time, wishing the team a win tomorrow.

Looking at Mansour's departing back, Dina walked over and looked at Lin Sen with a look of surprise, and said, "People who don't know still think that you are as rich as him." ”

Lin Sen couldn't cry or laugh after hearing this.

Tang Hua on the side felt that his cousin just now was a little embarrassing compared to Lin Sen.

Tang Hua is different from Lin Sen, he was born in an ordinary family, belongs to the kind of family in China that may not be able to make up enough money for a house after a lifetime of hard work, money is very important to Tang Hua, people who regard money as dung, often their dung is money, Tang Hua does not have this condition, he never hides that he likes money, in his opinion, money can do a lot of things, can make his parents live better, can make many of his dreams come true, and can choose gifts for Cinderella, The list price that follows is not considered......

Tang Hua had seen a lot of rich people, and he thought that he had done it without being humble or arrogant, but today, when Mansur shook hands with him, he still couldn't be calm when he looked straight at the waist.

Some fates can be changed, and some things are predestined.

Just like Manchester City, even if Manchester City wins the league and the Europa League this year, when facing a club like Real Madrid, in the transfer market, Manchester City can only choose to avoid.

Not afraid.

Just straightening your waist doesn't mean you're in the same league as the sky, you still need to look up at those who stand on the shoulders of giants.

Looking up and down is just an action, where your gaze is, is the key. (To be continued......)
