Chapter 67: Manners
"It's game over! What an up-and-down race! Barcelona won the match, but the qualification for the final belongs to Manchester City! ”
"We have to congratulate Manchester City, who have exemplified the spirit of never giving up until the last minute, despite the extreme disadvantage! We would also like to congratulate Linsen, just a few minutes ago, it was certainly not a game he wanted to remember, but now, this game will be a memory that he will never want to forget! ”
"After AC Milan and Real Madrid, another team with a glorious Champions League history fell at the feet of Manchester City, and it was a night for English football. On May 29, Wembley Stadium will see two English teams battle it out for top honours on Europe's biggest stage! ”
……
Camp Nou.
The whistle has been sounding for a long time at the end of the game, but the stands here are still full, and the atmosphere has become extremely strange and depressing.
Inside the stadium, Manchester City's celebrations were still going on, unbridled, conspicuous and glaring, especially against the backdrop of the collapsed Barcelona players. The Spanish commentator was speechless, and he could understand the mood of the Barcelona fans in the stands at this time, that is, it was unacceptable. Just a few minutes ago, their team had a three-goal lead and two more than their opponents, and all of them looked like a foregone conclusion, but now they are the ones to be knocked out.
Acceptance requires a process, but where is the process?
Pep Guardiola stood on the sidelines for a long time, neither going into the field to comfort his players, nor going to the other side to show his demeanor to the opponent, he just didn't move like a statue. Vilanova, who was standing behind him, walked over and patted him on the shoulder, but did not speak.
No one knows the pride of the man in front of him better than him. The team on the pitch is like a pride in the hands of this man, and he is confident that this is the best team in the world, but now. The team has been shut out of the Champions League final for two seasons in a row, and in such a similar fashion: they have won but lost.
Who is the least likely person to accept this result at the Camp Nou at the moment? He has to be.
It's hard for the fans to accept, it's temporary. It's hard for the players to accept, and that's also temporary. But for the head coach, that means a restart.
Pep Guardiola turned his head to look at Vilanova, shook his head slightly, and only said one sentence: go and comfort the players for me.
Villanova nodded, then walked onto the court. Barcelona players who walk or fall or squat or stand. Pep Guardiola, on the other hand, slowly walked to the side of Manchester City.
Linson was hugging Kidd, and one thing he had to thank Kidd was that Kidd had dragged him away from the standoff with the referee.
If it weren't for Kidd's move, what would have awaited Linson would have been the only way to watch his team play the first Champions League final of his coaching career through the glass, under the watchful eye of UEFA workers.
At this time, Guardiola came as a surprise to him.
"A ...... Nice ...... Race. A few simple words that Guardiola seems to struggle to utter.
But even so. Lin Sen still admires Pep Guardiola at this time, not everyone can show his demeanor when his team is eliminated, especially in such an important game. But admiration is admiration, the process of this game. No matter how you look at it, Lin Sen has more reason to be angry. Although it is said that victory can dilute a qiē, including dissatisfaction. But Lin Sen was obviously angry, and just now, he directly ignored De Bricle's "overtures" that took the initiative to shake his hand after the game.
"Except for the referee." Lin Sen replied very ungracefully.
"Anyway. You're in the finals, aren't you? Guardiola frowned and said.
Lin Sen wanted to go on and say, I don't want to go to the final like this every time. But he endured it anyway, then smiled, "Yes, the final." ”
Guardiola nodded, then turned to leave, but after a few steps, he turned back again.
"We'll see you next season!"
When he said this, Guardiola's face was very solemn, and his voice was even louder.
Lin Sen still smiled, and then waved his hand.
Now, he knows that the last sentence is what Guardiola really wants to say, he is not here to show his demeanor, he is here to write a war letter.
The post-match press conference was like a small Camp Nou, except that the people here became media reporters.
"You've already qualified for the finals, is it so difficult for you to show that little bit of grace?" A Catalan journalist stood up and said in a sharp tone.
Just now, Lin Sen, as the final winner, said three sentences, the first sentence did not surprise anyone, "I am proud of our players' performance!" The second sentence began to cause some commotion, "I'm glad that this result has disappointed some people." Then, in the third sentence of the end, he directly let the live fryer, "The score of this game is not three to one, but three to two!" ”
"Manners? I'm still sitting here, and that's the greatest demeanor. Our promotion was earned by ourselves, not by the charity of others. The promotion does not mean that it erases a qiē, for this promotion, we paid two red cards that could have been completely avoided, and now, ask me about my demeanor? Suarez and David Luiz will miss the final, so who do they need to ask for grace? I'm sorry, but if you want that kind of demeanor, then I won't accompany you. ”
After speaking, Lin Sen stood up and walked away.
Then, in the midst of an uproar at the scene, Lin Sen suddenly stopped again, turned around and stretched out a hand to Guardio, who was sitting on the other side with a black face.
Guardiola really wanted to squirt this shameless bastard to death in one bite, but at this moment, he could only stretch out his hand for Lin Sen's "revenge" move.
Or is it because of the demeanor -
After the game, Manchester City did not stay in Barcelona, but returned to Manchester overnight by special plane, yes, it is a special plane, which is the advantage of having a rich owner.
Back in Manchester, at Manchester Airport, Manchester City was welcomed by tens of thousands of Manchester City fans, and when Linson walked out of the aisle, he even heard his name from the singing of Manchester City fans.
But even the Manchester United fans next door who are used to mocking them will no longer laugh at each other's "making a big fuss" at this time, because Manchester City deserves such a welcome, and because now, Manchester City will join them in the Champions League final at Wembley Stadium in the Manchester derby. Manchester United's godfather Alex Ferguson even publicly stated after Manchester City qualified for the final: although he does not like Manchester City, it is indeed a day of great significance for the city of Manchester.
And for the media, the end of the game is just the beginning of the story.
Unlike the Catalan media after the game, who were still entangled in Linson's "demeanor" problem and the frustration of the team stopping the semi-finals for two consecutive seasons, the English media did not intend to deal with the "provocation" from Spain at all, they pointed the finger at UEFA, and collectively denounced the referee on duty for Manchester City, saying that his law enforcement in this game can only be described as clumsy, and it is even more ridiculous to change the sentence under the appeal of Barcelona's players. On the issue of referees, UEFA reacted very toughly, and they issued an announcement on the official website on this matter, defending the referee on duty Debrecque, saying that his law enforcement in this game was proper and there was nothing wrong.
In this regard, Lin Sen, who was interviewed by the media, just gave a meaningful smile, and then said something even more meaningful: Everyone who watched the game knows what happened, and I am glad that the second goal we scored was effective.
Having said that, if he could, Lin Sen didn't want to hide the needle so much, and the qiē he encountered at the Camp Nou was enough to turn him into a giant blower, but now, he must do his best to calm his anger, because the game against Barcelona is over, but this game is not just about "meaning".
The most immediate impact is those two damn red cards.
Suarez is two yellows and one red, David Luiz is a forced tactical foul, although it is a direct red card, but according to the regulations, it will generally only be suspended for one game, of course, it doesn't really matter how many suspensions are discussed now, in any case, the Champions League final, the two will definitely be absent. Unless, the red card can be revoked, but this is also impossible, Manchester City may have a lot of dissatisfaction with the referee, but these two red cards, Manchester City has no way to appeal.
Without Suarez, Linsen also has Falcao and Adriano, although the characteristics are different, but the gap in strength is not too big after all. The most troublesome is David Luiz, the Brazilian and Kompany have been the selection combination of Linson this season, and the substitutes are Cahill and Dunn, if it is just a normal game, Linson does not need to worry, but the Champions League final ......
The trouble is not only there, if the lack of personnel is a hard injury, then, the Camp Nou battle, but also to Manchester City to some hidden dangers. And the biggest hidden danger is not only the overdraft on the body.
May 8.
As long as you win Everton, you can sit on the hill and watch Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea, fall into the pit first.
Linson, who had to rotate most of the lineup, suffered a bitter loss to Everton 2-1 away, and after losing this game called "Champions Sentinel Battle" by the media, because Manchester United repelled the menacing Chelsea 2-1 at home, Ferguson's team has taken the absolute initiative in the league, because now, with only two rounds left in the league, Manchester United not only left three points for Manchester City and four points for Chelsea, but also in goal difference, they also have an absolute advantage.
