The meeting will take place over two days.

The content of the first day, which basically left the most impressive impression on others, was the confrontation between Guardiola and Mourinho, of course, the final result was that no one could help anyone.

After the meeting was adjourned, it was still threes and threes.

It is worth mentioning that Tongguò Linsen, the two managers Mourinho and Pellegrini who have never met before but are likely to have a handover ceremony next season are officially acquainted, but the two just shook hands and did not talk much, just a few days ago, Mourinho got one of Pellegrini's big generals, Dutchman Sneijder.

Speaking of which, Linsen's trajectory seems to coincide with the trajectory of Pellegrini in his memory, if I remember correctly, after leaving Real Madrid, Pellegrini also went to Malaga, and then was favored by Manchester City, and I don't know if Linsen took advantage of Pellegrini's way, or Pellegrini will become his "replacement" sooner or later in the future.

As when he came, when Lin Sen left, he also walked side by side with Mourinho, which naturally gave the reporters who had been waiting at the door for a long time a lot of opportunities to take pictures and make associations.

Just like several other managers who have walked side by side, such as Juventus' old and new managers Ferrara and Didier Deschamps, AC Milan's new and old coaches Leonardo and Carlo Ancelotti, and former attempts at Alex Ferguson and Blank...... But when these people walk together, you can easily find the intersection in them, but Mourinho and Linsen, what is the intersection? Are they all enemies of Barcelona?

Interestingly, behind Linson and Mourinho are two other people: Pep Guardiola and Arsene Wenger. As representatives of today's European football, Pep Guardiola and Arsene Wenger certainly have a lot in common.

"What do you think?" Wenger's gaze glanced at the two people in front of him and asked softly.

"A raccoon dog." Guardiola, who had just had a big fight with Mourinho, was obviously not angry, and was silent for a while before replying.

Unexpectedly, this sentence made Wenger frown slightly, Wenger probably knew what Guardiola meant, which was nothing more than a reference to the similarity of these two personalities. And they have had holidays with Barcelona, of course, the most important point is that the two have similar football philosophies and are both supporters of victory. However, Pep Guardiola's assertion is not good news for Wenger, because in Wenger's entire coaching career, his biggest nemesis is not the old Scottish man in Manchester, but Mourinho, who has only spent three full seasons in the Premier League, during which Wenger has played Mourinho eight times in all competitions, with four draws and four defeats. Odds or luck are there, Wengeren can't win a game anyway.

Tar someone with the same brush? Does this also mean that Lin Sen is also difficult to deal with?

If you like to play ball control, you can't say that you are afraid, but it is indeed the most troublesome to meet a team that is good at placing a bus, because such a team can often turn your greatest advantage into nothing. Arsene Wenger has not studied Linson's style of play, including his style of play in Malaga last season, and the name of the professor is not for nothing. He admits that if Linson moves that to Manchester City, the next game could be a problem for Arsenal. However, this season's Manchester City is fundamentally different from last season's Málaga. After three league games, Manchester City have been touted by the British media as one of the best teams in the Premier League at the moment.

Thinking of this, Wenger couldn't help sneering in his heart, the best way to play? Those reporters know what it means to play? in their minds. There may be only one criterion for not looking good, and that is whether there are many goals.

"Professor." Seeing that Wenger did not answer. Guardiola also glanced at the two people in front of him, slowed down intentionally or unintentionally, and then said lightly, "Don't be deceived." ”

Wenger froze slightly, but quickly smiled.

Noticing Wenger's reaction, Guardiola doesn't know if he really understands what he means, but it's not him who will play Linson next weekend anyway, although he and Wenger are like-minded, but the two clubs have also been entangled in Fabregas's problems, although the person who is entangled with Wenger is Begiristan. And, because they are the same kind of people, Guardiola knows exactly what he likes and doesn't like to hear.

Linson left La Liga, and Guardiola also has one less troublesome opponent in La Liga, but the fact that people are gone does not mean that those troubles will disappear, so although it is not particularly concerned, but for Manchester City this season, Guardiola will know a little, plus more than a week ago, the two teams also played once at Camp Nou, has Linsen really changed? Pep Guardiola has a say, and his conclusion is the one he just said to Arsene Wenger.

Don't be fooled.

Lin Sen, who was walking in front, didn't know that he had become the topic of the two famous coaches behind him, but even if he knew, I was afraid that he would just laugh, because this is a normal thing, just like he and Mourinho also talked about Wenger, and he didn't think Wenger would accept what Guardiola gave him, whether it was pride or reserve, in short, Lin Sen just knew.

On paper, even he may not accept Mourinho's advice to him, let alone Wenger-

The next day's coaching meeting, Mourinho only participated in the morning half, and then said goodbye early, at first Linson thought he had something to do, but soon, he knew why, because the afternoon meeting, it became a commentary meeting, simply to evaluate the work of UEFA in the past year. For Jose Mourinho, who has repeatedly fallen out with UEFA over refereeing issues in recent years, this is clearly not his time.

This is not Lin Sen's time, he didn't play in Europe at all last year, and he didn't get along with the Spanish Football Association, but Lin Sen knew that he couldn't leave early, he wasn't Mourinho, everyone knew Mourinho's character, and he wouldn't say anything about his early departure, most of the media guarding the door would catch the wind and link his early departure with yesterday's controversy with Guardiola, and then write a sensational report, but Mourinho is still Mourinho, He will not be affected in any way.

But Lin Sen is different, he is only the first time to attend this kind of meeting, if he leaves early, not to mention how the media will report it, most likely he will not want to receive an invitation next time. Moreover, Lin Sen thought about it, he was able to get the invitation of UEFA this time, most of which was due to the efforts of Manchester City FC, although the main purpose of the club is not necessarily to help him improve his level, but in any case, he can't waste the club's thoughts.

Before the end of the meeting, as is customary, all the managers who attended the meeting took a group photo together.

For this group photo, although the location seems random, there is actually a convention, that is, the older ones will sit in the front row, while the others will stand in the back row, as a "newcomer" Lin Sen can naturally only stand at the back, and the outermost edge, standing next to him is Pellegrini, who is also participating for the first time like him.

As the picture froze, Linsen's first coaching forum trip also came to an end.

Lin Sen's harvest is not small, newcomers naturally have the benefits of newcomers, although it is an oriental face, but in such a star-studded party, there are still not too many eyes on him, which allows him to quietly hide and listen to other people's thoughts, no one will take this newcomer seriously, especially a quiet newcomer.

At the end of the departure, Linsen was "caught" by a media from Italy and asked a few questions, which are said to have been asked to several managers, at least Linsen had seen Wenger give an interview earlier, and a few questions were: Who can win the Champions Cup? Who will be the best player? Who will be the best rookie? Your ultimate goal? Which Italian team is the strongest?

Linsen thought for a moment and gave the "standard answer": Inter, Milito, Thomas Muller, Champions League, Inter. Linsen's reply was decisively considered to be currying favor with Italy, or Mourinho, because the interview was with the Italian media, and because the reporter had previously found that Linsen and the Inter coach were relatively close.

Who cares, though? ――

Back in Manchester, Lin Sen still inevitably had to be the commander of the light pole.

In five days, the national teams with World Cup matches have to play two qualifiers, and even the national teams without tasks have to play warm-up matches, and the most cheating time is the second game is September 9, and when is the match between Manchester City and Arsenal?

September 12th.

This means that there are only two days of training time left for Manchester City, and the time spent on the players' journeys is still included.

Fortunately, Manchester City is not the only one who is troubled by this, Arsenal cannot escape either, although the more young people are destined to take advantage of it.

In the days after his return, Lin Sen could only talk to the coaching staff on paper, and at the same time send young players up to practice with the remaining first-team players.

Compared with the next-door neighbor Manchester United, Manchester City's youth training is obviously overshadowed, however, in recent years, Manchester City has still come up with results, Sturridge who left Chelsea and Johnson who was loaned out needless to mention, the Belgian central defender Boyata and Swedish striker Guidetti who are still in the team are young people poached by Manchester City from other leagues, in Linsen's memory, although these two people failed to play in Manchester City in the end, but they can be regarded as playing worth.

Let's make do with it, what else can I do.

Of course, Lin Sen's mind is on the training ground and the national team on the other, not that he cares about whether these countries can qualify, but whether his players will be injured.

The first round of matches on September 5th and 6th is over, and it's okay, no bad news.

On September 9th, the bad news came. Two players dropped the chain decisively in this round.

One is Lin Sen's most reassuring person before: the main goalkeeper Jiwen. The other is the person Lin Sen was most worried about before: Gareth Bell. (To be continued......)
