Chapter 11: Greetings

"This is no joke. Mike. ”

Ferguson, who was sitting in the back seat, looked back, and when he saw that the man standing on the side of the road was safe and sound, he turned his head and said with a little displeasure.

"It's all right, sir." The driver was a middle-aged man named Mike Ferran, because the former assistant coach Queiroz accepted the invitation of the Portuguese Football Association, and will be the head coach of the Portuguese national team in the new season, he was originally the coach of the first team He has been selected by Ferguson as his new assistant coach, hearing Ferguson's blame, he has been under the old man since he was a player and smiled indifferently, "I have a sense of proportion, I can't touch him, at most I just scare him." I just didn't expect to meet here. ”

"I'll come across it often in the future." Ferguson's tone was flat, but his words were a little playful, "After all, they are all neighbors." ”

"Huh." Mike Ferran smiled knowingly, "This neighbor is not a small villain. ”

"Money is not the same as ambition, otherwise ambition is too cheap." Ferguson sneered, "If ambition can't be realized, it's just wishful thinking." This year may be a little different, though. ”

"Different? Do you think sir they might be a little more converging this year? ”

"Convergence? How can it be. Ferguson shook his head, "That's when they're at their noisiest, and they're not going to be able to restrain themselves." ”

"So?" Mike Ferran asked, a little confused.

"What do you think of Coach Lin?"

"The Chinese?" Mike Phelan was stunned for a moment, and his mind seemed to flash the scene of this Chinese busy dodging just now, and he couldn't help but smile again. A pun intended, "Looks young." ”

Mike Ferran probably thought he had answered well. But this time his words did not get Ferguson's approval, and the old man shook his head. "Being young doesn't prove anything, and the Middle Easterners may have chosen the right person this time."

"You're bullish on him?" Mike Phelan was a little surprised. Everyone knows that after Manchester City announced the signing of Lin Sen, the media once asked the old man this question, and the old man's answer at that time was very disdainful, is this another trick played by the old man in front of the media?

"Optimistic doesn't count. I've seen one of the games he commanded, the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona last season, and there was something very interesting about Malaga in that game, but unfortunately it was a little late, otherwise...... Scold. The past is not mentioned. However, his role in Malaga may be underestimated, and if nothing else, not everyone can quickly knead a group of young people into shape, and in this regard, you can't help but admit that he is not just a sight to behold. And our neighbors just lack such a person. ”

When it comes to the topic of young people, there are not many coaches in this world who have more say than the old man behind him. It was precisely because of this that Mac-Phelan was a little surprised by the old man's words. And after Ferguson finished speaking, he also seemed to feel that he had inadvertently "more" his evaluation of Lin Sen, so he smiled. No more talking.

The whole Premier League knows that Manchester United has an old man who never admits defeat and never admits mistakes, and there is only one situation where he wants him to say something nice about you when he evaluates you. That is, you are no longer his opponent. But just now, he broke this habit-

Lin Sen stood there for three minutes.

He was pretty sure the old man who had just sat in the back seat of the car was Alex Ferguson, the current manager of Manchester United. The training bases of the two clubs live next to each other, which is destined to see everyone look up and not look down. So it's not strange to meet Ferguson, but Lin Sen doesn't think that the old man will have such a bad taste, so most of the people who drive make their own decisions. Thinking of this, Lin Sen suddenly laughed a little, is this another form of "greeting"?

Cities with derby battles are really all about changing the soup and not the medicine.

Derby is now a word full of gunpowder for fans, but Derby is actually a place name, the origin is British horse racing, because the derby horse is always very fast, every time the championship wins, every horse race is from the derby between the horses, the horses from other places are not numbered. It became known as a derby, and was later extended to be a match between sports teams in the same city.

Linson experienced the derby, when he was the team doctor of Atletico Madrid, and the Madrid derby and the Manchester derby are actually very similar, both are strong and weak, both are the weak side regards the strong as a mortal enemy, and the strong side does not take the other side seriously at all. As a team doctor, it will always be Lin Sen's busiest time, because the hot atmosphere will always catalyze something that is usually very common, fans will clamo for every physical contact of the players on the field, and the players will also be nervous and tense in this atmosphere, and the chance of injury will naturally increase greatly.

However, at that time, it was just a duty, anyway, no one would pay attention to what a team doctor looked like, so at that time, even if Lin Sen walked into a Real Madrid fan bar, I am afraid that no one would recognize him, and now, as the head coach and the head coach of the weak side, Lin Sen obviously needs to pay attention to the meaning of the word derby.

At the very least, you can't go out half-heartedly.

Lin Sen shook his head and put away his thoughts.

A few minutes later, he walked into a small restaurant that looked very clean, Lin Sen originally planned to see if he could find a Chinese restaurant, because the English are notoriously "poor cooking", which Lin Sen has long experienced, a country that makes street food fish and chips a representative food, you can imagine the lack of food culture, otherwise the French would not ridicule the British that they live to eat, and the British eat to live. But it is precisely because of this that foreign cuisine has become the best dish in the UK.

However, at the moment, Lin Sen obviously has not many options, because he has walked so far, this is not the only restaurant he is looking for, but it is the only restaurant he is willing to walk into.

"Good afternoon."

Pushing the door in, driving the bell hanging behind the door, a middle-aged woman standing behind the ordering table heard the bell and said hello before she could look up.

"Good afternoon."

"Is there anything you need?" The middle-aged woman had already raised her head by this time. When she saw Lin Sen's face, Lin Sen clearly saw her stunned. Lin Sen, who was accustomed to seeing this kind of scene, thought that she would "knowingly ask" about her identity, but to his surprise. The middle-aged woman quickly withdrew her gaze as if nothing had happened, and then waited for Lin Sen's answer.

"Any recommendations?"

"Our steaks and sandwiches were good."

"Let's steak then, well, medium-rare."

……

After ordering, Lin Sen randomly picked a table and sat down, and began to look at this small restaurant, it was not yet the peak of dining, there were not many customers in the store, only three old men were sitting on a table on the right side of the store. I don't know what we're talking about, but it doesn't look like we're eating. Lin Sen quickly retracted his gaze, took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Tang Hua, asking him what he needed to bring.

At this time, one of the three old men sitting not far away inadvertently seemed to see Lin Sen here, and then he didn't turn his eyes away, as if he was sure of something, and then he turned his head and said something to his two companions, and then the other two old men also looked in the direction of Lin Sen. Fortunately, after looking at it, there is no pointing.

Lin Sen looked as usual, and after the meal he ordered was delivered, he began to eat. The middle-aged woman did not lie to him. The steak is indeed good, and England is known for being a gentleman, but Linson has no intention of being a gentleman here. Solve the steak in three or two, during which Tang Hua has already replied to the text message. Lin Sen raised his hand to greet the middle-aged woman just now, and asked her to help pack a few sandwiches.

Wait until the bill is paid. As he was about to leave with the sandwich packed, the middle-aged woman suddenly smiled at him and said, "Welcome to Manchester, sir." ”

"Thank you." Lin Sen replied with a smile, and his mood seemed to become unusually relaxed with these words.

Lin Sen wasn't sure if the middle-aged woman in front of him was a Manchester City fan, or if he just welcomed him as a Manchester, but compared to the previous "greeting", for Lin Sen, this really couldn't be a better greeting. After the middle-aged woman said this, several old men who had been staring at Lin Sen just now also turned around at this time, and one of the taller old men raised his hand, and then shouted: Hi! Boy, the title belongs to Manchester United!

Lin Sen couldn't cry or laugh at the moment, it turned out that the "greeting" hadn't finished yet.

There is no doubt that these old men are fans of Manchester United.

Lin Sen's footsteps paused, and his eyes looked at the three old fans who were probably close to two hundred years old with interest, and the three old men were not afraid, and looked directly at Lin Sen who had stopped.

"Don't worry, sir." At this time, a slightly apologetic voice came from behind the middle-aged woman, "They have no malicious intent. ”

The middle-aged woman actually complained in her heart at this time that the old Rice had nothing to do, Manchester is a football city, Carrington is the chest of this football city, because the heart of the two teams in this city is here, so doing business here, it is inevitable to deal with fans, the middle-aged woman is not a fan, but she is still very familiar with the old Rice, a few Manchester United fans, not only because they are frequented, but also because her son is also a Manchester United fan.

The middle-aged woman's worries are unfounded.

Lin Sen, who was in a good mood, didn't plan to really have any conflict with these old fans, at the age of these people, any fan is worthy of respect, even if it is the opponent's fan, and he also saw that these old fans didn't have any intention of clashing with him at all, otherwise they wouldn't have even raised their butts until now, but they still shouted slogans at themselves when they recognized who they were, just like they shouted in the stands at Old Trafford.

So, this is not a provocation, at best, it is just another alternative greeting.

Lin Sen just smiled, and then said.

It's okay, I'm glad to be in Manchester. (To be continued......)
