Chapter 111 Complex

Petr Cech (Chelsea)/Branislav Ivanovic (Chelsea), Vermaelen (Arsenal), Vincent Kompany (Manchester City), Patrice Evra (Manchester United)/Arjen Robben (Manchester City), David Silva (Manchester City), Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal), James Milner (Villa)/Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Drogba (Chelsea).

This is the best team in the Premier League this season selected by the players' union, no surprises, no surprises, except for Aston Villa's Milner, the other candidates are basically proud, if Manchester City at this time is also a giant. Of course, the reason why Lin Sen pays attention to this list is not only out of interest, but also a kind of "obsessive-compulsive disorder".

That is to find out where City's squad is lacking. This may be a side effect of the ten-year memory plug-in, each one is the best, in Lin Sen's eyes, he always feels that there can be a better choice.

There has always been no shortage of such selections in football, of course, there are only a few that can be universally recognized, but even if there are a few, they often cause controversy, for example, this year's Ballon d'Or in memory has caused a huge controversy, as the core of Inter and the Netherlands, Sneijder not only lost to Messi in the end, but even did not even enter the top three, many people pack different packages for the Dutch, but in fact, from the moment the European Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year selection merged, things were already doomed, because the selectors changed.

France Football, which has established its authority with its previous selections, is no longer dominant, but is dominated by FIFA, and the selectors have become the head coach of the national team, the captain of the national team and the media around the world, which means that the source of votes is scattered, which seems to be more fair, but in fact, it brings more subjectivity.

Compared to the FA, the selection of the players' union is obviously more simple. To put it simply, if the number of Manchester City's starting eleven is superior. And Manchester City won the final title, then, the best team of the PFA is the whole Manchester City team, but under the same conditions, the FA's selection is not possible, because they need to balance other teams with excellent tables, and it is impossible for Manchester City to take advantage of all the benefits.

Therefore, the PFA's selection can be used as a reference standard for Linsen, but the FA's selection is not.

Of course, there are only three Manchester City players on this list. It doesn't necessarily mean that the other eight positions are inferior to City's players, because there is still a tactical problem. For example, Drogba, who is the core of Chelsea's attack, and Adriano, who is more often just a bridgehead, cannot be generalized at all.

Excluding these factors, Lin Sen found that there were not many positions for him to worry about.

The goalkeeper position has been a problem for Linson to scratch his head after Given's injury, but Joe Hart has been in good form recently. This also gave him the idea of simply letting Joe Hart be promoted to the main goalkeeper next season, and Given's substitute, but I don't know if Given's willingness to serve the old age. At the back, although Manchester City have only one Kompany on the list. But two of the other three positions, Linson is not worried, and both David Luiz and Cahill have made great strides this season. Cahill is not as impressive as the Brazilian, but he has shown what he can do in his limited playing opportunities. Next season. Linsen can rest assured in the central defender position, the only problem is the goalkeeper position, Linsen is not sure whether Dunn is old.

Right-backs Zabaleta and Richards have been in a healthy competitive state this season, and Linson's choice does not have much preference, basically starting whoever is good, so although neither is on the best list, Linsen is happy with the situation in this position. Compared to the right, the left is the point that Lin Sen has been pondering.

I don't know if it's the credit of Ariel, the friend wife who has now become dull has far less impact on Bridge than Lin Sen imagined before, which also allowed him to occupy the position of the main left back, and Lin Sen's original introduction of Azpilicueta for this position has a lot less opportunities to play, fortunately, Azpilicueta, who transferred from Osasuna, is also clear about his position, and has not had any dissatisfaction with it, but this season, what about next season? Bridge is about to turn 30, and full-backs are different from centre-backs, who are in the best period of their careers, while full-backs, this age is a hurdle.

As for the midfield, that is Linsen's biggest asset, and it is also the biggest asset of Manchester City to win the title this season. In addition to Robben and David Silva, Vidal, Bale, Xavi Martinez and others will be more mature next season, Di Maria and Falcao and others will also report, and next season's Manchester City may only be more terrible than this season, and there is only one position that is still doubtful, that is, the position of the midfielder.

At present, there are three midfielders in the Manchester City team, because of the characteristics of De Jong's position is the most stable, but at critical moments it seems that he always loves to drop the chain, Xavi Martinez wants to reach the level in Linsen's memory, it seems that it will take time, but Vidal is stable and rising, and there is already a faint prototype of the all-round midfielder in Linsen's memory. This season, Linson uses the most used combination is De Jong and Vidal, this combination has some flaws in the offensive organization, but there is no big problem in defense, but apart, although the two can be qualified for the main position, but the distance is always a little bit worse.

That's why Linson had the idea of improving the midfield at one point during the season, with City actually having plenty of reserves in the midfield position, the Bender brothers doing well in Birmingham and Michael Johnson, who is on loan at Malaga...... It's just that compared to the three people in the Manchester City team, these people are completely invested in the future, and it is not that they cannot stay next season, but most of them can only be regarded as strengthening the depth of the bench, but it is not realistic to count on it at critical moments.

You must know that next season's Manchester City, in addition to the league opponents who have a new understanding of Manchester City, more importantly, in the European arena, this time they will no longer face the national team, no longer Austrian Vienna...... It's opponents at the level of Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Real Madrid, and although Manchester City are Premier League champions this season, they are far from being seeded in European Europe when European points are counted, which means that they don't need to wait until the knockout rounds to create a group of death in the group stage.

……

A list of the best teams that many people may throw aside just by glance, but Linsen has thought a lot, but most of these thoughts have passed in a flash, because now is not the time to think about this, because this season, for Manchester City, is not yet over.

Manchester City have one game left, the Europa League final.

Opponent, Atletico Madrid -

No Sergio Aguero, no Fran, no Cork......

In the penultimate round of La Liga, away to Sporting Gijón, Atletico Madrid fielded an out-and-out substitute line-up that was exactly the same choice that Manchester City made against Stoke City, and then they received the same result as Manchester City, a draw. However, Atletico Madrid's standings in La Liga are very different from those of Manchester City.

This season, they are in ninth place, even lower than last season.

However, Atletico Madrid fans are undoubtedly more satisfied with this season than last season, as they will have two finals to play this season.

One is the Europa League final against Manchester City and the other is the Copa del Rey final against Sevilla.

The significance of the first match is that it is the first time in the history of Atletico Madrid that it has reached the final of this competition. The significance of the second game is that it guarantees Atletico Madrid's European qualification for next season, making Atletico's ranking irrelevant, as their opponents, Sevilla, have already qualified for Europe.

After another change of coach, what else is there to dissatisfy Atletico Madrid with such a result?

Yes, another change of coach.

Recino, who replaced Linsen as Atletico Madrid's manager, has been out of the league as early as midway, and the current manager of Atletico Madrid is former Valencia coach Flores. Interestingly, Flores, who coached Benfica last season, had he and Linson met in the quarter-finals if he had stayed in the role, but now the meeting has been postponed to the final.

That's fate, just like Linson and Atletico Madrid. No matter how you go around, you'll end up in front of the other person.

When Diego Forlan scored in stoppage time in the second leg of the semi-final, all the Atletico Madrid fans raised their glasses, only Jimmy had a mixed expression, while Barr, who was sitting next to him, knew what he was thinking.

Because before that, that man had already led Manchester City to the final, and Diego Forlan had just sent Atletico Madrid to the final.

The same final.

is different from the feeling of Barcelona fans about Mourinho, for Lin Sen, who was born in Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid fans can never talk about "hate", because Lin Sen did not leave voluntarily, but was driven away, but at the same time they did not reach the point of "love", because last season, Lin Sen clearly cut a profound knife on Atletico Madrid, at Calderón Stadium.

It's not love or hate, but it's not completely devoid of feelings, so it can only be described as complex.

Recino has left because he has made Atletico Madrid fans even more forgetful of Linsen, and Flores once made Atletico Madrid fans forget Linsen, but now, they find that he is standing in front of them again. (To be continued......)
