Chapter Twenty-Eight: Turning the Face
August 9, Cambridge, Qassam Stadium.
Tang Hua held his hands in front of his chest, he didn't want to imitate Lin Sen, but at this time, he still subconsciously made the same action as Lin Sen, but this action did not calm him down, his hands were still a little trembling, not only hands, as if almost all parts of his body were betraying his will, only those eyes were still casting stubborn gazes on the court.
This is the first round of the new season in League Two, with Cambridge United hosting Burton Albion.
The dream is very plump and the reality is very skinny, Tang Hua naturally knows this sentence, because Lin Sen often says such a sentence, to be honest, many of Lin Sen's words make Tang Hua think it is true, but only this sentence, Tang Hua always feels that Lin Sen is too pessimistic, of course, this may be because Lin Sen, who is often prepared for the worst, always seems to be able to achieve the best results every time.
Therefore, even if Tang Hua was nervous before the game, it is undeniable that he is still full of hope for his first game, he didn't even imagine that his team beat Burton in the first game of the N-goal, and he became famous in one fight, so thinking is not only out of his own self-confidence, Lin Sen is already recognized as one of the best head coaches in the world, and as one of Lin Sen's team members, every game, he sits less than a few meters away from Lin Sen, unknown but participates in every game, He didn't think he could replicate Lin Sen's success in this way, but he thought that in this much lower stage, he shouldn't be far behind.
But now, Tang Hua can be regarded as having a deep understanding of this slightly ridiculous sentence, and it is not as easy to face as he said. There are positions, no matter how close you are, only when you really stand in that position, you know what is in that position, what you need to bear, and what you need to pay. Otherwise......
Just like right now.
That high score. It seems to be silently mocking someone's inadequacy.
Tang Hua suddenly glanced back at the bench, which was another subconscious action.
Because he had already used up three substitutions.
Then, his gaze shifted to the stands, the capacity of the Qassam stadium is not large, and the stands do not appear spacious because they are open-air, on the contrary, they look more and more simple under the open view, but even such stands are sparse at this time.
Tang Hua couldn't blame the fans of the home team.
Accompanying their team from beginning to end in difficult moments for their own team is a respectable fan. When your own team is abused by other teams, you can't bear to watch it anymore and leave the stadium early, such a fan may not be respectable enough, but at least, you can't find a reason to blame.
At this time, there was a ripple in the shape of the shì on the field.
Colin went straight through the midfield, George won the ball and then successively cut through the defense of the opposing two defenders and volleyed with his left foot......
Finally broke the door.
Yes, finally.
this game. Cambridge United are no worse than Burton in attack, but they are extremely inefficient, and with a sieve-like back, it has become the current scoreline.
What made Tang Hua frown was. George celebrated with a slight exaggeration, and after scoring a goal, he directly performed a somersault.
George had reason to celebrate, as it was his first League Two goal. It's that he's been on the pitch for less than five minutes. But Tang Hua frowned for the same reason, because it was out of place, because of the current score. It's one to five.
Shortly after George's goal, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.
The first game, a defeat.
Burton coach Gary Rovitt walked over to Tang Hua, and his face was not too happy to get off to a good start, but a calm face.
Tang Hua felt a little bitter in his heart.
He knows that no matter how unwilling he is, he can't change one thing after all, that is, for Burton and Rowit, Cambridge United, who have just arrived in League Two, is just a piece of cake, and it is not something to boast about if they win a big victory.
After shaking hands with Luo Weitt briefly, Tang Hua turned around, and he remembered Lin Sen's words again.
"No matter how high your starting point is, no matter how good your shape is, don't forget, keep struggling mentality."
Tang Hua stood up, suddenly raised his head and looked directly at the scoreboard that he had avoided for most of the game, for a full minute, it seemed that he wanted to firmly engrave the score above into his mind, and then, he said a word to himself in his heart.
So, from now on, let's start struggling.
Lin Sen called Tang Hua, although he said that he would not comfort the other party, but after all, it was inevitable that there would be some encouragement to him, the debut was only once for everyone, good or bad, it was normal, but for a head coach with a dream, a score of one to five was still too harsh.
To Lin Sen's surprise, Tang Hua seemed to be adjusting well, at least, on the phone, he didn't hear frustration from his tone.
This is something that makes Lin Sen feel extremely gratified.
On the surface, he is not a few years older than Tang Hua, and the two of them have always called each other by their surnames, but in fact, Lin Sen's psychological age is not an exaggeration to say that he is a generation older than Tang Hua. Coupled with Tang Hua embarking on this road, Lin Sen played the role of a guide almost from beginning to end, so the relationship between the two is somewhat like a teacher and a friend.
Of course, having said that, Lin Sen, who is not the head coach for the time being, does not have a bit of a bad taste of being a "godfather". As for why he didn't focus on Manchester City, it was because Pellegrini couldn't discuss this with him at all, or when Pellegrini discussed this with him, Pellegrini's coaching career at Manchester City was probably about the same.
Linson and Butragueno had another meeting, and the results were still modest, the two sides are still deadlocked, but time will not wait, although the transfer window does not close until September, but the new season is already imminent. Lin Sen could already feel that Butragueno's mind was becoming urgent.
However, Lin Sen still has that thought, anyway, he is not in a hurry, time is a problem for Real Madrid, but for him, it is not a problem.
Lin Sen is not in a hurry, some people are in a hurry.
In the Community Shield of the new season, Manchester City lost 0-3 to Arsene Wenger's Arsenal, although this is still only an inconsequential semi-warm-up game, but both the score and the shape of the game undoubtedly make people question Manchester City in the new season.
The most intuitive embodiment is that in the new season of the Premier League championship odds offered by the famous bookmaker William Hill, Manchester City, which originally occupied the first place, is no longer the only team to be favored after the Community Shield, but is tied with Chelsea.
In this game, Bale, who started again, failed seven one-on-one and five times in the whole game, which can be said to have lost all the edge in the past, and in the post-game rating, "The Sun" even commented on Bale's watch in a slightly ridiculous tone: Maybe Bale's mind has already flown to the Bernabeu......
The ridicule of the "Sun", which likes to catch the wind and shadows, is not entirely unfounded, Arsenal has long been an old rival for Manchester City, and Manchester City has "poached" their main right wing-back Sagna from their team in the new season.
Since it is not a question of strength, then it is a matter of attitude.
In the face of overwhelming media coverage, Bell still chose not to say a word.
But that night, Bell had a conversation with Lin Sen, and the content was naturally impossible for the outside world to know, and the only thing that people knew was that when he left, Bell's face was not good-
The outside world cares about Bell's bad face, but no one cares about Lin Sen's bad face either.
The whole world knew the purpose of Bell's meeting with him.
Of course, it is impossible for Bale to reveal the secret agreement to Lin Sen, because obviously this incident let Lin Sen know that with Lin Sen's character, it is absolutely impossible to let people go obediently because of this, and what is more likely to happen is to make Yi Qiē irreparable, therefore, Bale just confessed to Lin Sen his intention to leave Manchester City, hoping that Lin Sen can cooperate with Real Madrid.
But Lin Sen's thoughts, he himself is very clear, and this idea will not change just because he faces Bale. Obviously, this is not what Bale wants to hear, but compared with Barnett, the agent who has publicly declared to the media that Real Madrid is interested in Bale and Linsen, Bale did not turn his face with Linsen because of Linsen's reply.
Barnett can openly turn against Manchester City, but for Bale, Linson is still his mentor after all.
Being ungrateful, this is definitely not the infamy that Bell wishes to bear.
However, Bell also confessed to Sù Linsen that he would go to Mubarak.
And it was this sentence that made Lin Sen's face very bad.
It's not that he's worried that Bale will really get Mubarak to come forward and force him to change his mind, but because Bale has such intentions.
In his opinion, Barnett's intention to let Bale go is understandable, so he doesn't mind what Barnett says outside, but he still feels that Bale can slowly change his mind under his own strong stay, at least, to maintain the same appearance with the club, even if it evolves into a second David Silva, but now ......
Lin Sen suddenly remembered Cork.
The player he wanted to keep the most, but couldn't afford to stay. It's just that back then, Cork at least had one more reason for "loyalty", and now, what about Bale?
Linsen was right, even though Bale has become the most important member of Manchester City, Mubarak is still on Linsen's side.
In the end, Bell still didn't change anything. But things are still developing in the direction that Lin Sen least wants to see.
ON AUGUST 14, WITH ONLY THREE DAYS TO GO BEFORE THE PREMIER LEAGUE OPENER, THE DAILY MAIL BROKE A NEWS THAT SHOCKED ALL MANCHESTER CITY FANS, HEADLINED: YOUWONTWRECKMYDREAM!
Don't want to destroy my dreams!
Sub-heading: Bale absent from training. (To be continued......)
