Joining Linson in the first pre-match press conference of the new season for Manchester City was Suarez, who had just joined.

Due to the coincidence of timing, the club's press officer, Miss Vicky Cross, handed Suarez directly to Linsen when he held a pre-match press conference, which Linsen had to accept, because it was obvious that Suarez's appearance, although it would help Linsen attract the attention of the reporters present, would also definitely make them ask themselves more questions about Suarez, and these questions were difficult for him to avoid, because Suarez was next to him, maybe even he would be interested in those questions.

And the fact is as Lin Sen expected, Suarez's appearance, so that this press conference in the first half of Suarez's personal press conference, Lin Sen had to sit next to listen to Suarez in his unfluent English to express his gratitude to his old club Ajax, the yearning for the Premier League and his love for Manchester City, needless to say, this is the agent's speech to Suarez, this kind of tone similar to "I have been a fan of such and such a team since I was a child", and now it is about to become the standard answer to please fans when joining a new team.

Waiting for Suarez to finish his speech, Lin Sen took the microphone, but Suarez finished speaking, it doesn't mean that his topic is over, Lin Sen then has to continue to answer questions such as whether Suarez will be in the squad for tomorrow's game, whether he will be the main force, how he and Robinho coexist, etc., to this, Lin Sen, who has long been mentally prepared, can only answer patiently.

finally finished asking the topic of Suarez, and the reporter began to ask about the topic of the transfer market, the main question is two, one is that Manchester City will not continue to buy people, and the other is whether buying so many people will affect the stability of the team.

For the first question, Linsen finally said what the media had been thinking about but didn't want to hear: our recruitment work is over, and Suarez will be our last signing this summer. Lin Sen personally announced the end of the transfer.

As for the second question, Lin Sen didn't seem to care: "Of course, buying so many people will affect the stability of the team." But we don't stabilize dìng for the sake of stability, stability is to be able to do better, if not, I don't think there is any need to stabilize dìng. I didn't come to Manchester City to maintain the status quo, the club wanted to go further, we had a common goal, so this summer we brought in a lot of players who at least I think are very suitable and my task is to integrate them into the team. Then go for something we want. If it succeeds, then at that point, we'll talk about it again, and this year we'll bring in 10 people, but maybe next year we'll only need to bring in one, or we won't need to bring in at all. ”

After answering these two questions, Lin Sen made a rare joke with the reporters present: How about we talk about Blackburn?

As soon as Lin Sen's words came out, all the reporters laughed.

This press conference was originally the pre-match press conference for Manchester City's away game against Blackburn, but now most of the press conference has passed, not to mention the game-related issues. Even the name Blackburn had not been mentioned a few times, and the reporters present were not stunned, since Lin Sen reminded them in such a tactful way to get down to business. Naturally, they will not mess around and make people annoyed.

Subsequently, through reporters' questions, Lin Sen announced his squad for the game. As he has answered before, Suarez, who has just joined, is not in the squad for the tournament, except for him. Robinho, who was injured in the warm-up game against Celtic, is also out due to injury, and all but these two players are in the squad.

At this time, a reporter asked Lin Sen about the starting list.

Lin Sen replied with a smile: At this time, even my players don't know if they can start tomorrow, and I don't want them to see the news of their start in the newspaper.

Another burst of laughter.

The whole press conference, it should be said that the atmosphere is very relaxed, but no matter how relaxed the pre-game press conference is, it also means that a game is coming.

On 15 August, the 2009/2010 Premier League season kicked off.

In one of the earliest league games, Chelsea, fresh from beating Manchester United to win the Community Shield, hosted Hull City at Stamford Bridge and the score was set at 2-1, with Carlo Ancelotti's Premier League debut in a thrilling situation. Of the six games played simultaneously in the afternoon, Manchester City's away trip to Blackburn Rovers was the most high-profile of them, as Arsenal and Manchester United were postponed, and the highlight of the round was Tottenham's home game against Liverpool.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Ewood Park was full, the English ball market has always been hot, even if it is the second tier league Championship, the attendance rate can also rank among the top in Europe, not to mention the opening game of the Premier League, it is also thanks to this reason, Linsen, who came to the away game, even enjoyed the long-lasting applause of the home fans after the team entered the stadium.

Lin Sen, who was standing in the Premier League for the first time, had an indifferent expression, not nervous, but definitely not relaxed, while Allardyce, who was less than ten meters away from him, had a somewhat solemn expression.

Speaking of Sam Allardyce, he actually needs to thank Linson, because if it weren't for Linsen, his number one striker Santa Cruz this summer wouldn't have been wearing a Blackburn shirt. And speaking of which, Sam Allardyce was able to coach Blackburn, which is indirectly related to Manchester City, because it was Manchester City who poached the proud Mark Hughes from Blackburn, which led to Paul Ince's poor record in coaching Blackburn, and it was Paul Ince who replaced him.

Of course, Sam Allardyce was grim, not because of that, but because it was a difficult game to be expected.

The current Blackburn Rovers are not the violent Ben that dared to pull Ferguson's Manchester United down in the nineties of the last century, Blackburn Rovers did not ensure relegation until the penultimate round of the league last season, Blackburn has the advantage of Manchester City's historical record, and now it is different from the past, money may not really buy the championship, but money can really change a lot of things.

For example, Manchester City, who were unbeaten against Blackburn Rovers last season, take it up another notch.

Facts have proved that Allardyce's solemnity is not unreasonable, just two minutes into the opening game, David Silva was shocked by the cold sweat of Allardyce, the Spaniards, who are obviously superior, simply regarded Blackburn's backfield as their own back garden, two Blackburn players followed him for a long time and failed to snatch the ball from his feet, but let him successfully open the gap and pass a behind-the-back ball, and Bale who was inserted at high speed on the side directly met the ball with a burst shot......

Then there was a crisp crash that sent the entire stadium to an exclamation, and goalkeeper Robinson didn't even have time to move.

Blackburn escaped, but Allardyce frowned, as he vaguely realized that he seemed to have made a mistake.

Allardyce is not familiar with Linson, but for this game, he still watched all the warm-up games of Manchester City this summer, and then he came to several conclusions, one of which became the basis of the tactics of this game is that Manchester City's offensive organization is very dependent on the front waist, in his opinion, Linson in the midfield of Manchester City put two only defensive and not offensive ball grabbing machine qì, and set up two wingers on the two wings, then, all the organizational tasks can naturally only fall on the front waist alone, and from the warm-up game, That man is David Silva.

Therefore, Allardyce gave his players the task of defending David Silva close and limiting the Spaniard's movement as much as possible, and he felt that as long as David Silva was restricted, he could limit Manchester City's attack as much as possible.

But now, in just one round, David Silva sued him, and the worth of 30 million is not for nothing. Lin Sen dared to let David Silva take on the big responsibility, naturally he knew his ability, without diamonds, you want to take the porcelain work, he still won't give it.

Moreover, Allardyce underestimated Lin Sen too much. In a few warm-up games, you can see something, but if you conclude that it is all in this way, it is undoubtedly self-defeating.

It is true that most of the attacking tasks of this Manchester City team are mainly responsible for the front midfield, but this is not absolute, taking the current lineup on the field as an example, David Silva is the first playmaker, but if he is really limited by the opponent, then he will turn into a pseudo-striker, and turn to contain the opponent's defence, and hand over the task of attacking organization to the second playmaker: Javi Martinez, who is regarded by Allardyce as one of the ball grabbers.

And that's not all, Robben who was on the bench at this time, when he came on, he was one of the potential offensive playmakers who could decide the game on his own, and Suarez, who was not in the squad for the game, and his role switch with David Silva was one of Linson's most anticipated attacking combinations...... As you can imagine, when all these people are on the pitch, it is almost wishful thinking to try to kill a playmaker to get Manchester City's attack done.

Without enough players to compete with this group, or without enough tactical execution to make up for the gap, it is only luck that can stop City's attack.

If you make a mistake, you will be punished. The saying that if you don't die in a catastrophe, you must have a blessing after the disaster, but not everyone can catch the blessing, if you can't catch it, it is easy to become a person who can hide from the first day of the first month but can't hide from the fifteenth. Sam Allardyce, who realized his mistake but was still lucky because the game had just begun, quickly became sure that he must have made a mistake.

It was just five minutes before that loud post, and in much the same vein, David Silva once again crossed the ball from behind, this time by Bellamy, who had the chance to play against offside. Bellamy, who played for Blackburn Rovers for a season, showed no mercy to his old club, facing Robinson, a cool diagonal shot, and the ball flew into the bottom left corner amid the exclamations of 30,000 fans at Ewood Park!

First goal.

Bellamy's first goal and the first goal of the new season for the new Manchester City. (To be continued......)
