Chapter 10: Morning and Evening

No team can be at its peak all the time.

In a nice way, this is the blossoming of flowers, the ebb and flow of the tide, in realistic terms, this is called the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach.

Like the curtain call of dynasties in history, it is generally accompanied by a bleak ending. The "curtain call" of the dynasty in the football world is also often accompanied by a heavy defeat, which will soon be proved by three of the most beautiful teams in Linsen's memory.

Inter Milan, who lost Jose Mourinho, were the first to fall, losing 2-5 at home to German side Schalke 04 in the quarter-finals of the Champions League in the new season. Two years later, also in the Champions League, Barcelona lost to a German side Bayern Munich in the semi-finals, with a scoreline of 0-4. Four years later, the now-uncrowned World Cup champions Spain paid off their debts for the World Cup final in South Africa, losing to the Netherlands in the group stage with a humiliating 5-1 defeat.

There will also be such a day in Manchester City, sooner or later.

Lin Sen didn't have that much ability to stop this qiē from happening, and besides, his plug-in could only be opened for ten years, and now three years have passed. However, although he could not prevent this qiē from happening, Lin Sen could prevent this qiē from happening in his own hands.

After Given, Linson then called two more people, one was Bellamy and the other was Ireland.

Bellamy was the most efficient substitute in the Manchester City team last season, no one, if it weren't for his age, Linson would probably compromise and keep the Welsh striker, but Bellamy, who is about to turn 31 years old, is destined to Linsen can't put the treasure on him, so Bellamy, who was excellent last season, can only be lowered in the new season. It's impossible to go up, which means that the best-case scenario is to maintain the status quo, but similar to Given, Bellamy doesn't think it's time to retire.

Given the nature of the topic, Lin Sen and Bellamy's communication was not pleasant, but it was frank enough. Bellamy didn't dwell on this issue, and after leaving Newcastle in '04 and having changed teams in six years, he knew there was no point in dwelling on this issue. He doesn't like to procrastinate on this issue, so after Linson made his position for the new season clear, he made it clear that he would rather leave if he could not play a major role in the team in the new season.

For Bellamy's determination, Linson can only express regret, and compared with the straightforward Bellamy, Ireland is much more repulsive.

Ireland are not happy to leave Manchester City. Because he has not left since he entered the Manchester City academy at the age of fifteen, but at the same time, he cannot accept Linsen's positioning for him. Because before Linsen took charge of Manchester City, he was even an indispensable core figure in this team, just like David Silva of Manchester City now.

Fall underneath, Ireland thinks. The problem was with Lin Sen, or in other words, Lin Sen was trying to get rid of him.

Once people become paranoid. No matter how reasonable the conversation is, it becomes unreasonable, and Lin Sen's phone call is destined to end unhappily.

Lin Sen, who put down the phone, shook his head again and again.

He doesn't deny Ireland the ability but if you put him alongside David Silva and Reus, it's clear that he can only be a substitute. Due to his youth status, Linsen doesn't mind leaving him a place in the first team, but only if they are willing to accept a substitute, but apparently after the phone call, this has become impossible.

In the memory, Ireland went to Villa Park as part of Manchester City's transfer of Milner from Aston Villa, but now Linson is indifferent to Milner, not because Milner is not in his eyes, but because he has hoarded enough famous players on the wing, Robben, Bale, Reus, Di Maria......

If it was just as a substitute, Linson wouldn't mind trying it, but obviously if Milner was brought in, the price could not be low, and it would be expensive to buy a substitute, which was not what Linsen wanted, and it was not what Manchester City wanted to see.

As a result, after three phone calls, in addition to Given's remaining some suspense, whether it is Bellamy or Ireland, it is almost certain to leave, at least, in Linsen's plan for next season, these two names can be crossed out. The only thing that makes Linsen more worrying is perhaps that he doesn't need to find a replacement for these two players at all.

Falcao's return can replace Bellamy's position, and Ireland, itself was marginalized last season, when Linson's original intention was to make Ireland a substitute for David Silva, but it turned out that he couldn't do David Silva's job, and then Linson pulled him to the back position, but the same table is mediocre, Linson will not conclude that Ireland, who was still the best player in the Manchester City team the year before, is nothing more than that, but it can only be said that Ireland and his tactics do not match. At the moment, with David Silva in the position of Reus and in the midfield position, Ireland is effectively dispensable.

Lin Sen didn't immediately communicate the situation to Marwood, he planned to wait for Given's decision.

Then, he himself continued to ponder the "general trend" of his transfer......

A centre-back or right-back, a midfielder, a left winger. This is Mourinho's request for Real Madrid's transfer market this summer, or rather, for Baldano, because Spain, like Italy, has transfer power in the hands of the transfer manager.

Baldano said he would do everything in his power to facilitate Mourinho's request, but not because of Mourinho, but because of Florentino.

Galeries Lafayette asked Valdano to fully cooperate with Mourinho.

Because, the magic bird flew into the Bernabeu with a lot of aura, and one of the halos that Real Madrid cares about and is most satisfied with is: the expert against Barcelona.

The first request, Mourinho gave two options, both of them are from his old club, Carvalho or McConn, if it is Carvalho, Ramos will continue to play on the right, if it is McConn, Ramos will move to the middle. The second request, Mourinho also has a template in mind, and that is Frank Lampard. As for the third request, Mourinho had no choice and he gave Baldano "free play".

This can be regarded as Mourinho's release of a little "goodwill" towards Baldano.

No transfer manager is willing to let others lead the way, even Linsen needs to discuss his transfer list with Marwood before it can be put into practice, Mourinho can certainly use his aura to make Baldano "obey" at the moment, but what next? The two sides always have to cooperate, and since they want to cooperate, the two sides must always leave some leeway, not to mention, whether they are sincere or not, Baldano, who said that he will fully cooperate, has released "goodwill".

What Mourinho didn't expect was the choice given by Baldano.

David Silva:

This is Lin Sen's player-

Linsen intends to wait for David Silva to finish his World Cup journey before discussing the question of staying or going, but Real Madrid does not plan to wait for the World Cup to end.

On June 15, Manchester City received their first offer from Madrid, Spain.

Million.

That's exactly what Manchester City paid for David Silva from the Mestalla Stadium last year.

Then, that same evening, Manchester City rejected the offer.

However, although the transfer is still a deal in nature, it is far from being as simple as an ordinary deal. Manchester City has not refused, and Real Madrid's mouthpiece "Marca" was the first to disclose Real Madrid's offer that day, and began to build momentum for this transfer.

In the report, Marca first turned out David Silva's "yearning" for Real Madrid in an interview in the Valencia era, and concluded that David Silva "has been a Real Madrid fan since childhood", and then they went on to analyze Real Madrid's lineup, after Raul, Guti and others left, Real Madrid has plenty of space, and the new manager Mourinho likes wingers, so although David Silva played a forward position in Manchester City last season overlapped with Kaka in the current Real Madrid team, But David Silva's famous position is a left winger, so he and Kaka don't actually clash with each other, on the contrary, if David Silva comes to Real Madrid, he is on the left, Cristiano Ronaldo on the right, and Kaka in the middle, such an offensive line can be called luxurious......

The report of "Marca" is very fanciful, almost saying that David Silva and Real Madrid are a match made in heaven, but without analyzing the significance of David Silva to Manchester City, England's counterparts scoffed at their arguments, and the "Manchester Evening News" published Linson's response to Marca's report the next day, in fact, Linsen's response was just one sentence.

I think Cristiano Ronaldo is also a good fit for Manchester City.

That sentence alone is worth a thousand words.

Of course, this sentence was quickly countered by the Spanish media as a dead duck, on the grounds that the attraction of the two clubs to the players is not in the same dimension at all. A very simple truth, David Silva can't say NO to Real Madrid, but Ronaldo can't say yes to Manchester City either, that's the difference. Therefore, Lin Sen's seemingly sharp words are just a stealing concept.

The Spanish media was very excited about this matter, but Lin Sen was not so idle to accompany them to fight in the air.

Even though Lin Sen knows that he has a good relationship with Mourinho, he still knows that one day he will have to face Mourinho head-on, and the football field will be big or small, sooner or later. But he didn't expect that the first time he faced each other, not on the court, but off the court.

Real Madrid officially made an offer, which means that Mourinho nodded to David Silva, and it also means that Mourinho shook his head with Linsen. It's not surprising that Linson didn't get a call from Mourinho, what is there to say? Sorry for being interested in the players under your command? When did football still have such rules and pretentiousness? (To be continued......)
