With the win over Arsenal, Manchester City fans have reason to have a good weekend in the mood.

But for Linson and Manchester City, this is far from the time when they can relax. Because in the middle of next week, in three days' time, they will have their first game of the European season at home against the visiting Portuguese nationals, and then next weekend's sixth round of the league, which will be a more important game than the game against Arsenal just past, as their opponents are right next door to them.

Manchester United.

In another big game later on, Manchester United beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 away, ending their four-game winning streak and making it their own, Redknapp's side got off to the best start, but he still lost at the hands of Alex Ferguson, which may be the so-called "big club", and it turned out that Manchester United's defeat to Burnley in the second round was a real upset.

Not just next week, next week, until the beginning of October, Manchester City's schedule is a double week, which will undoubtedly test the depth of Manchester City's bench and the physical reserves of the players, even if Linsen intends to run in the main lineup, but the rotation system is inevitable, you can't expect the main team to play nearly ten games a month, especially after the exhaustion of the national team.

Fatigue is the root cause of injuries, and Lin Sen, who used to be the team doctor, knows this all too well. What comforts Linsen is that in the next few games, Manchester City will play at home, which at least allows Manchester City to "rest and wait", of course, at the cost of consecutive away games at some point in the future.

This season, Manchester City are known as playing on the fourth line, but more often than not, they are only in the third line, because for Premier League teams, they do not need to play in the first two rounds of the FA Cup, and the third round of the game usually takes place in January. By that time, the League Cup had reached the semi-finals. Most of the teams have basically finished their journey in this competition.

Subjectively, Linson does not intend to give up any game, not only because Manchester City has not tasted the title for too long, except for the Championship title that no Manchester City fan wants to see again, the last time Manchester City won the championship was back in the seventies of the last century. It is also because Lin Sen himself also needs a championship to stabilize his position. Lin Sen is nominally the manager of Manchester City, but he is far from being the "master" here. Manchester City can invest hundreds of millions in the transfer market, and if Linson can't turn those advantages into capital, then. Manchester City naturally don't mind changing a manager, not to mention his predecessor Mark Hughes, even a meritorious manager like Mourinho, Abu has never been soft when he sacked him.

Rich people often lack patience. Abu was a rich man, and Mansur was a rich man among rich people.

Of course, subjectively do not give up, but objectively. The focus is definitely on because the importance of each front is not the same, with the league being the fundamental and the Europa League secondary. Then there's the FA Cup, the League Cup. Thanks to oil, Linson has the resources to deal with these competitions, and even if it is only a substitute, Linsen can still come up with a card that is enough to blow most of the teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League. Hart, Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Cahill, Richards. Harvey Martinez, Ireland, Wright Jr., Bellamy, Adriano...... Even if Lin Sen's memory is not used as the standard, with the current value of these people, this is still a lineup with an average value of tens of millions.

Plenty of ammunition. For Lin Sen, there was no reason why he couldn't dream of more.

The next day, all the English media gave praise to the two teams in Manchester, and interestingly, the two key games in this round are precisely the duel between the two cities of Manchester and London, and the two teams that win are mortal enemies, and the two teams that lose are also mortal enemies, and in the next round, Manchester City and Manchester United will stage the Manchester derby, and London also has a derby to be staged, which is Chelsea vs. Tottenham.

Manchester's local newspaper "Manchester Evening News" called Manchester City's victory against Arsenal the birth of a new giant, and Manchester United's victory against Tottenham Hotspur as a proof of the old giants, and then put the two teams' respective goalscorers together, Robben vs Rooney, of course, this is not only to show the whole of England Manchester's place in the Premier League, but also to warm up for the upcoming Manchester derby between the two teams.

After five rounds of league games, Manchester City and Manchester United, which each defeated strong opponents, surpassed Tottenham, ranking second or third in the league standings, ranking first, is still Chelsea, who has won all five games, and after Tottenham lost to Manchester United, the position in the standings has fallen to fourth, and other teams are worth mentioning that after the 4-0 victory over Burnley, Liverpool, which had an unstable start, has quietly returned to the sixth place in the league, but it is Arsenal who made the media sing praises in the first two rounds, after losing to Manchester United and Manchester City in succession, In a blink of an eye, it became the object of the media's falling stones.

Success or defeat, the reality is like this, and football is the same.

13 September, Manchester, fine.

From Malaga to Manchester, different countries, different living habits, and even different football styles, Lin Sen has changed a lot of his habits, but some personal habits are difficult to change, for example, he still insists on jogging every morning, although the jogging route has been changed by him to the road to the training base, and then he will take a shower and eat breakfast at the training base, and use his best state to welcome the arrival of the new day.

Today, Lin Sen still stepped on his accustomed time to go out, and then slowly ran towards the training base in the fresh air of the morning, the road to the training base is usually not many vehicles, and there are even fewer in the morning, but Lin Sen can still occasionally meet some people, some famous people, such as Rooney. Because the road to the training base is also the only way to the Manchester United training base, although the last time I met Ferguson, although Lin Sen was a little surprised at the time, but it was not an accident, Lin Sen often met a person is Rooney, of course, said to be a meeting, in fact, the most "intimate" one, is just the two eyes staggered, because two people are in the car, one is on the road, and it is the same direction, more often, it is Lin Sen jogging in front, Rooney driving from behind and then driving away.

It's just that, of course, Lin Sen and Rooney can't talk about acquaintance, but observing words and deeds, Ferguson once admired Rooney's professionalism, obviously not just a preference for proud disciples. Rooney is destined to take on more responsibilities for United after Cristiano Ronaldo's departure for Spain, but for Linson, Rooney will be one of the conundrum he will have to solve in the next game.

When he came to the training base, as usual, after seeing Chapman, Lin Sen, who had greeted him, asked: Is he here?

Chapman is City's shirt keeper and Linson became acquainted with him while they were having breakfast. For Chapman, Linson always thinks of him and Aguilar in Malaga, because the two have a lot of similarities, they have stayed in their respective clubs for more than ten years, they are both highly respected in their respective clubs, and they are full of feelings for their respective clubs, but because of their identity, Aguilar is more strict in the eyes of the players, and Chapman, who deals with the players every day, is affectionately called Chappy, and Chapman readily accepts this nickname.

Chapman usually stays at the training base for the two days before and after the game, because his main job is to organize his post-match jersey and prepare the pre-match jersey.

Chapman nodded to Lin Sen's question.

He, referring to Bell.

Bale, who was injured during the national team game, has resumed training, but it will take some time before the last game. Linson doesn't need to envy Ferguson for having a dedicated Rooney, because he has such players, and Bale is one of them. Genius comes from talent, but success doesn't have to be genius, because success comes from hard work. Only when these two are combined, genius can be equated with success.

Bale is of course a genius, which was recognized when he was not yet seventeen years old, so he can attract the favor of Ferguson, so that Tottenham will not hesitate to recruit in the first team, but geniuses will also encounter trouble, Bale's biggest trouble is injury, but it is not limited to injury, because it is an athlete, there will be ups and downs in form.

Right now, it's undoubtedly a low ebb for Bale, as he's having two troubles at the same time: form and injury.

In the first three games, Linson fulfilled his promise to him before signing, he has always been the starter of the left winger position of the Manchester City team, Manchester City scored eleven goals in the first three games, and none of the goals belonged to Bale, of course, this cannot be said that he has not contributed to Manchester City's attack at all, but this obviously does not meet his estimate of this position, especially when everyone around you is scoring, how can you not be in a hurry?

Twenty-seven million, that's the price Manchester City paid for him in the summer, second only to David Silva and even higher than Robben, looking at the table of the two of them, how can there be no pressure?

But at this time, injuries found him again. Then, in the last league game, he could only watch his team-mates win their fourth game in the cheers of the home fans, and it was still the man who was in a different position to him but who was already vaguely regarded as a rival in his mind.

Bell knew he couldn't compare to Robben at this time, but what about the future? Tottenham, Manchester United, including Manchester City, aren't they all interested in his future?

Bale, who was running slowly along the edge of the training ground, suddenly raised his head and took a deep breath, the injury has passed, but the state is still in doubt, he doesn't know if Lin Sen will still believe in him in the next game, but what he can do is train.

Train hard. (To be continued......)
