For the past month or so, the mood of Manchester City fans has been like a rollercoaster.

Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad.

And the mood of the fans, naturally, also depends on the team's results.

Since entering February, Manchester City seems to have changed lanes from the fast lane to the slow lane all of a sudden.

Manchester City have won one and drawn three in February, and if it weren't for the last game of the month, the visiting Newcastle gave a big gift, losing 5-0 to Manchester City, I am afraid that even if the club supports it, the pressure from the media and fans will be enough to make Pellegrini's life not too easy.

However, while all Manchester City fans hoped that this big win was the beginning of Manchester City's bottoming out, it turned out that they were still far from breathing a sigh of relief.

On March 1, Manchester City visited Anfield to take on seventh-placed Liverpool, which was also the highlight of the round, with both managers in a deep crisis of confidence hoping to use each other as a stepping stone, and this time, Brendan Rodgers had the last laugh at home, and Liverpool finally beat Manchester City 2-1.

For Manchester City, the start of March was a terrible start.

On March 5, Manchester City returned to their home stadium to welcome league vice-captain Leicester City, and this time Manuel Pellegrini's side did not disappoint the home fans, winning 2-0 neatly.

However, the good times were still short-lived, and a week later, Manchester City lost away to Burnley, who were fighting for relegation, sending a warm message to the opponent. Back at home, Manchester City seem to have regained their form, also facing West Bromwich Albion, who are fighting for relegation, and this time Manchester City beat their opponents by three goals......

The English media, accustomed to falling into the trap, mocked Manchester City in March with "unusually stable form", because throughout March, regardless of whether the opponent was strong or weak, and whether the schedule was tight or loose, Manchester City's results were such a rhythm.

Win one game and lose again.

Apparently. For the increasingly high-spirited Manchester City fans, this is definitely not the rhythm they want to see. After the match against West Bromwich Albion, a BBC 5 reporter stopped an old Manchester City fan wearing a Manchester City scarf outside the Etihad Stadium and asked him what he thought of City's current results and Pellegrini.

"Grades? Don't say I'm pouring cold water on it, unless City win all the games that come from there, it's already a bad season, though. Pellegrini has one more chance to save himself and we all know what that is. ”

Before the interview, BBC Channel 5 had actually published one of their findings on the TV screen, and the content of the survey was whether you think Pellegrini should stay next season, and the result is that more than 60% of people think Pellegrini should be sacked, and 20% think it depends on the results of next month's game. Fewer than 10 in 10 believe Pellegrini will stay in place next season.

Lin Sen, who was also watching the game, did not see the BBC investigation and their interviews. However, this did not prevent him from coming to a similar conclusion.

Yes, just conclusions based on reality, and not opinions that represent personal ideas.

It doesn't matter what Lin Sen thinks about and what attitude he has now.

For a manager. The only one who can save yourself is always yourself. If Manchester City's results in February can be blamed in some way on natural disasters, then Manchester City's results in March can only be described as man-made disasters. Four opponents in March, in addition to Liverpool. The other three opponents, all of whom belong to the bottom half of the division, are in this time when points are most needed. Manchester City still failed to win.

In addition, in the Champions League, Manchester City lost two legs at home and away, and was eliminated by Barcelona with almost no suspense. In other words, Pellegrini has driven himself to the edge of the cliff, and the reason why he has not fallen off the cliff is now in the eyes of many people is purely because the season has reached the second half, and Manchester City cannot find the right person to take over for the time being.

Of course, Pellegrini is not completely out of the woods.

The chance to save him in the mouth of the old fan Dawn is actually the same as the game that the two adults in the BBC survey said, which is the Manchester derby in the middle of next month.

April 12th.

Old Trafford.

The 32nd round of the English Premier League is another key battle, the Manchester derby.

From the beginning of the game, Sky Sports' live camera switched to the stands from time to time, when the starting lists of both sides were introduced, when one side missed a good chance to score, when one side scored, and when the referee made a controversial decision...... At this time, the live camera will give a clear close-up close-up, as if trying to show the expressions on the faces of the two people sitting next to each other in the stands in front of everyone.

What is abnormal is that for the live broadcaster's behavior that is usually too frequent and unpleasant, the fans on both sides at this time are not bored, not only not bored, but feel that it is a scenery of the game.

The two people in the stands, one old and one young.

The two people who used to be sworn enemies on the side of the stadium sat next to each other in the stands at this time, talking a few words from time to time, with a smile on their faces, and they didn't seem to be affected by the atmosphere of the two sides at this time. But this situation, for fans on both sides, will not make them feel unacceptable.

There is no other reason, just because these two people are named Ferguson and Lin Sen.

One is the retired godfather of Manchester United, while the other is the King of Manchester City, who has taken over his position. If the fans on both sides miss the most at this time, then the two people in front of them will obviously be the best candidates.

There is no way to go Manchester United or Manchester City this season, and the results are not good. At the start of the season, both teams had their sights set on the trophy, but now the league is drawing to a close, and before the game, the two teams with the same points, Manchester United temporarily overtook Manchester City on goal difference to move in third, while Manchester City were relegated to fourth, and both teams were eleven points away from the top of the table.

With only seven rounds left in the league, such a gap is tantamount to withdrawing from the championship ranks.

In today's game, Linson originally did not plan to come to Old Trafford to watch the game live, but he finally came, on the one hand, because he received an invitation from Sir Alex Ferguson, which is really difficult to refuse, and on the other hand, it is also taking into account Pellegrini's current situation, in the last league game, Manchester City lost again, and at home, lost to Crystal Palace.

It's just that now it seems that coming here is really not a good decision.

More than an hour had passed since the game, and the score was three to one.

It was Manchester City who scored first, but it was Manchester United who took the lead.

Just now, Spanish striker Juan Mata, who moved to Manchester United from Chelsea, doubled the lead for the Reds, and when he received Rooney's ball, he fired past Joe Hart's big goal. However, the slow motion showed that the goal was suspected to be offside, which is why the live camera of the game was always on him. It's just that they are destined to not find too many expressions on Lin Sen's face that interest them.

Judging whether it is offside is very exquisite to judge the linesman's eyesight, otherwise, it is impossible to have so many misjudgments, not to mention that Lin Sen's position is not suitable for making judgments, even if the position is appropriate, it is not necessarily possible to see whether it is offside, in this case, the live broadcast party that has accurately judged the offside suspicion through guò slow-motion playback, how can it capture anything from Lin Sen's face.

Of course, disappointment is inevitable.

A three-to-one scoreline, while not too disparity, is enough to kill a game, especially at this level. What's more, other people may not know, but in Lin Sen's eyes, many of the Manchester City players on the field at this time have begun to change their feelings after losing the goal, and the changes are not good.

Sure enough, five minutes later, City conceded again.

The score became a huge disparity of 1 to 4.

The live broadcast camera of the game was once again given to Lin Sen without any suspense, and at this time, Lin Sen's face no longer had any expression.

Next to him, Sir Alex Ferguson stood up to applaud Manchester United, Manchester United's results this season are still not ideal, but this victory is enough for coach Van Gaal to win back the hearts of many Manchester United fans, although Van Gaal is sad or not It is not Ferguson's business, but whether Manchester United is good or not is Ferguson's greatest concern.

When Ferguson sat down again after clapping, he turned his head and smiled and said to Linson: "Considering the first few times, I won't say sorry." ”

Lin Sen shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this.

Ferguson is still the same Ferguson, killing people without seeing blood, today Lin Sen was invited by him to sit with him, but saw a fiasco, which in the eyes of ordinary people, how Lin Sen will be gloomy, if Lin Sen is a more radical person, it is inevitable that he will be a little annoyed by Ferguson's unscrupulous celebration at this time, however, Ferguson's words made Lin Sen have to calm down.

As Alex Ferguson said, he won't say sorry, because, although United did win this game, and it was a beautiful win, in fact, before that, United had lost to Manchester City five times in a row, and two of those five games were created by Linson and Ferguson. If not, how could there be rumours that Ferguson chose to retire that season precisely because United were beaten twice by Manchester City that season.

In the ensuing game, although Manchester City pulled one back, the result was no longer in doubt.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the Old Trafford stadium burst into applause, and in the stands, Linson stood up and shook Ferguson's hand, then turned his head to look deeply at the figure standing still on the side of the pitch at this time, and turned to leave.
