On 29 May 2o11, Manchester City won the first Champions League in the club's history, and that season, under Linsen's leadership, and the previous FA Cup, Manchester City became the double. ☆→

On June 3o, 2o11, Manchester City announced that they had signed a new contract with Linsen again, and it is reported that the length of the new contract will not change, but Linsen's salary is a record for England, second only to the then Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho.

On 8 December 2011, Manchester City lifted the Club World Cup for the first time with a 4-0 win over South American champions Santos at the Yokohama Stadium in Japan.

On 22 April 2012, Manchester City lifted their second league title in three years with a two-goal win away from Wolverhampton Wanderers.

……

Even after witnessing this qiē so natural life, Wayne Clark still felt so unreal when such a resume was placed in front of his eyes.

In four years, Manchester City has gone from a team that plays soy sauce in England every year to a team that is feared by the whole of Europe, and in this process, Lin Sen, as the manager, undoubtedly plays a great role, because it is this coach from the East who single-handedly built this team that looks so young but has been dubbed a "dynasty" by many media.

Four seasons. Three league titles, two FA cups, two League Cups, two Champions Leagues, one Club World Cup......

Champion Collector.

This is the title given to Lin Sen by the media, a veritable title.

And, don't forget, he was not yet thirty-five years old.

Just as Manchester City lifted their second Champions League trophy, all of Europe was speculating about how much halo Linson would have on his head when he retired. However, it was at the post-match press conference for the final. Linson announced a news that stunned everyone: he will leave Manchester City after his contract expires in the summer.

What's next? Not at the moment.

As soon as the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar.

Almost everyone was surprised by Linson's "sudden" departure, with the exception of Manchester City FC.

Manchester City's methodical reaction shows that they have been mentally prepared for Linsen's departure, or rather, they have known about it for a long time, but it has not been made public because the team is at a critical moment to avoid unnecessary impact. Less than an hour after Lin Sen announced his departure. Manchester City expressed a sentimental thank you message on the official website, thanking Linsen for bringing a message to Manchester City in the past four years.

Lin Sen's departure is not the only big event this summer.

The day after Lin Sen announced his departure, the media didn't even have time to imagine what kind of changes would occur without Lin Sen. The departure of another legend has once again shaken the entire English football scene.

Sir Alex Alex Ferguson, the godfather of Manchester United for 26 years, has announced his retirement.

Ferguson and Lin Sen left one after another, as if overnight. Manchester became an ownerless city.

A few days later, another city, London, welcomed the return of a legend.

June 3rd. Chelsea announced on the official website that Jose Mourinho returned to Stamford Bridge to coach Real Madrid for three seasons.

Looking at the Chelsea fans who seem to have regained faith overnight, the two ends of Manchester have different moods.

For Manchester United fans, Ferguson's departure means a farewell forever.

And for Manchester City fans, maybe one day they can be like Chelsea fans today?

No way? Possible? ――

"Lin, I really want you to think about it."

On the other side of the phone, Mubarak's voice was earnest, making Lin Sen smile bitterly in his heart.

It's been a year since he left Manchester City, and a year is enough time to give birth to a lot of things. For example, he is obviously already married, after leaving Manchester City, he has nothing to do, and Boya secretly married, the wedding was held twice, but they were very low-key, one was in an inconspicuous church in Spain, and the other was in Linzhuang in China, and the wedding attendees, in addition to relatives on both sides, were some close friends.

After getting married, Lin Sen fulfilled his previous promise and accompanied Boya around the world, which can be regarded as a travel honeymoon, that is to say, in this year's time, the two of them are basically living in a fixed place and wandering around, of course, it can also be said to be free and happy.

Today, Lin Sen and Boya had just finished their trip and returned to Madrid, Spain to visit their parents.

The meaning of Mubarak's intention, Lin Sen can roughly guess some approximately.

There are countless examples of how difficult it is to succeed a successful predecessor, the two most representative examples, Grant who replaced Mourinho at Chelsea that year, and Benitez, who also replaced Mourinho at Inter Milan, two people, one led Chelsea to the historic Champions League final, and the other led Inter Milan to win the Club World Cup, but their ending is the same, they are all disgraced, and even, they have not been understood by most fans.

And now, who will replace Lin Sen?

Pellegrini!

Just like the trajectory in Lin Sen's memory.

After Manchester City appointed Chilean Engineer as head coach, Linson even publicly expressed his support for Pellegrini, believing that he was the best person to replace him. Is this a scene? Lin Sen does not deny that there is a little bit of it, he doesn't have many friends in the coaching industry, most of them are general friends, that is, when he participates in the coaching forum, he occasionally sees the kind he doesn't see. But for Pellegrini, Linsen has never hidden his admiration, whether it is personality or coaching level, which has never changed since he was still an "amateur coach" at Atletico Madrid.

Facts have also proved that Lin Sen's appreciation is not unreasonable.

In the past season, with the team left by Linsen, Pellegrini, who had made few changes, led Manchester City to welcome back Jose Mourinho's Chelsea, achieved three consecutive league titles, and won the League Cup again.

One season, two championships, this can't be considered a failure in any way.

However, Manchester City fans are not satisfied.

Dissatisfaction comes from the gap.

Last season, Manchester City were on the verge of collapse, winning almost every title they could win. In this case, Pellegrini's two titles, in their opinion, undoubtedly seem a little shabby, of course, what makes them even more opinionated is because of Pellegrini's poor performance on two fronts.

One is the Club World Cup. Manchester City, the European champions, lost 0-1 to hosts Casablanca in the Club World Cup final. You must know that the Club World Cup is generally regarded as the patent of European champions, and missing out on the Club World Cup is undoubtedly regarded as a shame by Manchester City fans. And if the significance of the Club World Cup is not so great, then the other Champions League front, Manchester City, who won the Champions League twice in the previous three years, actually stumbled to qualify for the group stage last season, and finally failed to even enter the quarterfinals, even more so.

The fans are dissatisfied, and Manchester City FC certainly cannot remain indifferent.

So, Mubarak thought of Linsen.

However, Mubarak did not mean to let Linsen return to the coaching box.

Mubarak still trusts Manuel Pellegrini as he did when he chose to trust Linson, and Mubarak has always been reluctant to change his choice when it comes to the manager. Fans can certainly be dissatisfied with Pellegrini, but for the club, Pellegrini's results may not be perfect, especially in the previous comparison with Linson, but it is definitely far more than qualified.

If Pellegrini is fired like this, it can only mean that there is a problem with the club, and this problem is definitely not the manager's.

So, what does Mubarak want Linsen to do?

This brings us to a scandal that was born two months ago, when the mother of a young member of Manchester City's youth team wrote to Manchester City over a contract dispute between the club and her son. But two weeks after the mother, who was suffering from cancer and was about to undergo chemotherapy, she received an email from Manchester City CEO Gary Cook, which was addressed to Marwood, but accidentally landed in the mother's hands, and the content of the letter maliciously caricatured the mother's current situation.

This inhumane act naturally caused an uproar. Despite Gary Cook's repeated denials and claims that someone else hacked his email account, it was futile to defend himself, and just last month, Gary Cook resigned as chief executive with the approval of Manchester City.

At this point, Mubarak's intention is already very clear.

Yes, he wants Linson to be the CEO of Manchester City, of course, not to take over the job left by Gary Cook, but more to the team.

For Mubarak's fresh tiyì, Lin Sen didn't say no immediately, but he didn't nod right away, and only said that he would think about it himself.

If Mubarak's phone call was unexpected and reasonable, then another phone call shortly after the end of the phone call with Mubarak was a great surprise to Lin Sen, both reasonable and unexpected.

Because this call came from a person Lin Sen couldn't have imagined.

Sir Alex Ferguson. (To be continued!)
