Gary Cook doesn't have a bad feeling for Linson, but he must admit that he didn't have much of a crush on Linson at first. Although he has always worked for Nike, he does not have an in-depth understanding of football, but since football has become a business, football should also follow a business model, and it is the general trend to separate the transfer work from the coaching work. Therefore, for Linsen, who asked for the transfer right as soon as they met, Gary Cook couldn't like it at all.

Even Mancini, who won so many championships in Italy, did not dare to ask for transfer rights during negotiations, Linson? Why? Just his King's Cup? However, it was not him who made the decision, but Mubarak. So, when Mubarak made his decision, he put aside his personal opinion and respected the club's decision.

Although the result was not what he wanted most, the process of acceptance was extraordinarily simple. At the end of the day, no one is born in the way of others, and neither are managers and general managers. The ensuing collaboration was quite pleasant, although Robben and David Silva were Linson's target targets, but Cook still tried his best to broker the deal, of course, Linson did not let Cook's efforts go to waste, both Robben and David Silva, are the best players in the current Manchester City table.

Therefore, for Lin Sen, Cook's perception should be said to be changing for the better. Ribeiro's visit was a bit out of place, but Cook couldn't refuse.

Regarding the arrival of Gary Cook, frankly speaking, Linson is a little puzzled, if he said that he sent Robinho into the cold palace, then Cook may still have a reason to ask. But now? He really couldn't think of what Cook could do, could it be that he would be able to guarantee Robinho's position? If that's the case, then Lin Sen is really not afraid to turn his face with him.

Fortunately. Cook also knew which side he should be on.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Cook explained his intentions, and he directly told Limmon that Ribeiro had come to him to express his dissatisfaction with Linson's use of Robinho's methods. Then, as the club's top management who single-handedly brought in Robinho at the time, he agreed to help.

It's as simple as that? It's as simple as that. Representing the club. Cook wants Linson to take care of Robinho's affairs properly.

Properly.

When Lin Sen heard these two words, he frowned, what is appropriate? Very simple. If both parties are satisfied, it is called proper. But frankly speaking, Lin Sen didn't think this matter was properly done. Because this matter has been stuck in a dead knot from the very beginning due to Robinho's attitude.

Obviously, it is impossible for Lin Sen to sit idly by and ignore Ade's affairs, then. This means that he can't sit idly by and ignore Robinho. But Robinho is different from Ade, Ade can accept his punishment, and even if he delegates the reserves, he can have no complaints, but Robinho can't accept it, not only is it impossible to accept, he doesn't even want to listen to Linsen's "nonsense", Linsen just stood up as soon as he opened his mouth. Then open the door and leave.

When others mention something that makes them angry, people call it a reverse scale. That one. It's Robinho's Reverse Scales. Once the scale is removed, there is no scar because it will not heal at all.

Lin Sen thinks that he has been accommodating enough to Robinho in this matter, and has also made a long enough step for the other party to step down decilessly, but now it seems that his accommodation has not been exchanged for the other party's understanding, and even made the other party misunderstand, Robinho's actions in yesterday's game, and Cook's arrival today all prove this.

Then, there is a saying that is called not rude, for Lin Sen, without that layer of understanding, things will only be easier to deal with. If a person insists on nirvana, no one else can stop him from setting himself on fire.

"I don't think there's any proper way to handle this." Just as Cook waited for Lin Sen to nod, Lin Sen spoke, "If anything, the way I handle it now is the best way." A question that may not be appropriate, Mr. Cook, do you also think Robinho has played less time this season? ”

"It doesn't matter what I think." Cook was stunned, but apparently he couldn't possibly give an attitude on the subject.

"Then let the facts speak." Linson had long expected that although Cook promised Ribeiro, he would definitely not mix in the troubled waters, so he said, "So far this season, Manchester City has played a total of 16 games in the third line, and Robinho's playing time so far is 1,165 minutes, that is, he has missed no more than three games at full play, so I think the so-called playing time problem does not exist." ”

"About this." Cook didn't expect Lin to remember Robinho's playing time so clearly, he was a little surprised, then thought for a while, and said, "Robinho is dissatisfied with the way it is used,"

"That's not my problem." Lin Sen shook his head and spread his hands, "Don't say I'm arrogant, but Manchester City hasn't lost a single game so far." I don't think there's anything wrong with the way I use people. ”

Cook fell silent.

Obviously, Lin Sen's toughness was a little unexpected to him, but, after thinking about it, what Lin Sen said was not wrong, in any case, in this matter, as the head coach, Lin Sen is not inappropriate, but Ribeiro is a little unreasonable, he knows the rumors of this matter in the outside media, but whether it is true or not, even if it is true, with the current Manchester City, Robinho imagines it like last season, it is obviously impossible.

Thinking of this, Cook suddenly felt that it was not a smart decision to agree to Ribeiro. So, he barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and explained to Lin Sen that his intention was not to put pressure on Lin Sen, but just to intervene as a senior manager of the club, and the club would remain completely neutral in this matter.

After sending Cook away, Lin Sen smiled dumbly.

People who can be executives are really smart, and they are so decisive, but the club remains neutral? Is it neutral? ——

Speaking with Cook, Linson said it beautifully, Manchester City is currently the only unbeaten team in the Premier League, but now Linsen has to think about how to solve an increasingly urgent problem for this team.

It's not Robinho, it's just a personal problem for the Brazilian, especially after Linson no longer sees him as the heart of the attack in the tactical system.

The trouble that Lin Sen has to face is that his confidence in winning the next game is not so sufficient. The reason is not how strong the next opponent is, but the draws in the last few league games, which really puzzled him, so that he even wondered if there was really some law of conservation of character in the dark, because Manchester City won a natural score against Athletic Bilbao, so God let Manchester City unlucky a few games to balance?

Whether it is the club's senior management or fans, the current draw against Manchester City is still in the stage of being able to tolerate, thinking that the team is just unlucky, but Lin Sen knows very well in his heart that this tolerance has a premise, and the premise is that Manchester City's league ranking is still high. With only three points behind the top in one round less, such a league ranking can cover up many, many problems.

Some futures are not so difficult to predict. If Manchester City continues like this, then other league opponents will not wait for Manchester City to slowly get out of the strange circle, because there are not every round of upsets, at that time, Manchester City's ranking will inevitably fall, once the ranking falls, then as the head coach Lin Sen, will have to face pressure from all sides. And stress is not always motivation, and it can also become a life-threatening charm. Therefore, if Lin Sen is smart enough, he must take the initiative and solve this problem as much as possible.

However, where does the problem begin?

One draw is an accident, two draws are a coincidence, but what about the third? What if there is a fourth? Manchester City must have encountered some kind of difficulty, or the bottleneck is more precise, but for the manager, the problem is that this difficulty cannot be touched, which is what makes Linson feel so tricky.

For his own tactical system, Lin Sen is confident enough, and Manchester City's previous six consecutive wins also prove that his confidence is not unfounded. City's first draw began away at Aston Villa, and after that game, Linson spoke to Tang Hua, excluding the objective factors at the time, and concluded that the determination of the opposition to attack on the wing was not prepared enough. And the second game against Wigan, because Wigan had beaten Chelsea before, both the coach and the players had enough vigilance in this game, but even so, the game still ended in a draw, this time the post-match analysis, Linson directly expanded to the entire coaching staff.

What made Lin Sen helpless the most was the draw against Fulham in the third game, and Lin Sen really had no other solution than to explain it with providence.

From the way the three draws were treated, it can be seen that Lin Sen didn't want to make any excuses for himself at all, and there were only two kinds of results for him, one was expected and the other was unexpected. For the expected result, even if it is a failure, there is nothing surprising, but if it is an unexpected result......

Lin Sen thinks that whether it is tactically or psychologically, he has never despised any opponent, but God loves to joke so much, in the dark, it seems that there is always a force that prevents you from winning, and what makes Lin Sen speechless is that this "curse" is only limited to the league, because when the league suffers a draw, Manchester City is much smoother in the cup, the league cup is in the quarterfinals, and the Europa League is in sight.

This qiē really seems to come down to luck.

Lin Sen believes in luck, but he can't leave his fate completely to luck, so he decides that he intends to take a gamble. In the 11th round of the league, the opponent was Birmingham, and Linson made a small change to his starting lineup.

At that time, when Sky TV commentator Charles got his starting XI for Manchester City, his eyes widened.

Four-four-two?

No! It's four-one-three-two.

Partnering Suarez up front is the Welshman Bellamy. Behind the two, Gareth Bale, David Silva and Arjen Robben lined up, with Linson only having one midfielder in midfield: Vidal. (To be continued......)
