Every match day, Lin Sen's schedule is very programmed.

In order to cater to the fans, almost all matches are held in the afternoon of choice, and if not on weekends, the time of the games is scheduled for the evening. Based on this schedule, if it is an away game and the distance is relatively long, then Manchester City will generally rush to the away game a day earlier, and if it is a home game, they will still train as usual in the morning, of course, the training content is mostly more relaxed.

At this time, as the head coach, Lin Sen's schedule in the morning is basically no different from usual, and at noon he will confirm with his coaching staff the final preparations for the game, and then Lin Sen will completely hand himself over to the game. Therefore, Lin Sen, who had a game that day, did not know that the "Milan Sports Newspaper" of the day gave a comment on the draw that made some Manchester City fans instantly angry.

It was the final league game before Christmas against David Moyes' Everton. Although there is no holiday for Christmas in the Premier League, no one wants to spend Christmas in a bad mood, at best, they all want to use a victory to let their supporters have a happy Christmas, so this game, Manchester City, who are playing at home, will still go all out, especially when the opponent is in dire straits.

Last season's eighth league Everton, this season after the loss of the defensive stalwart Lescott, the results plummeted, in Manchester City's black September, in addition to Liverpool and Manchester City are difficult brothers, in fact, Everton's situation is even more bleak, because at that time, they were three consecutive league vice-captains, and even now, they are only two points away from the relegation zone.

It was undoubtedly the toughest moment since David Moyes took charge of Everton. Lin Sen has no problem with Moyes personally, and the Lescott affair has long been a thing of the past, but it has been left behind. Naturally, it doesn't matter what makes things worse for others.

In this game, Lin Sen continued his rotation system, but the rotation system does not mean that the "rotation" level lineup is on the field, because in the last round of the game Lin Sen hid most of the main team, so in fact, this game Manchester City is the main lineup. However, what Lin Sen didn't expect was that this game, which was supposed to beat the Reservoir Dogs, was met with great difficulties by Manchester City.

Everton, who had been driven to the edge of the cliff, burst out with amazing energy. Less than 20 minutes into the game, they had a two-goal lead over City on the road, with Gary Cahill and Baines scoring respectively, before they withstood a comeback from the side of the goal and held it on until the end of the first half.

Such a result is obviously not what all Manchester City fans want to see, let alone what Linsen wants to see, in the second half, Linsen, who was also forced into a corner, broke the boat at the beginning, and he was after the break. Directly used up the three substitutions. And the formation has also changed from 4231 to a more pure 433. So, in the second half. It turned into an offensive exhibition game for Manchester City.

In the face of Manchester City's tidal attack, Everton united for 20 minutes, but finally allowed Manchester City to find a breakthrough, a free kick. Bale's curling ball knocked on Everton's door.

At this point, Moyes made a decision he regretted by replacing midfielder Koleman with striker Saha. Attempts to increase the deterrence up front to contain City's near-unbridled attack did not lead to the result he wanted, and not only did the substitution upset the balance of Everton's midfield, but in the 81st minute, Yaya Toure went straight and Suarez went alone.

Two to two.

The last ten minutes of the game returned to the same running line, almost turned into a half-time offensive and defensive battle, the morale-high Manchester City almost overwhelmed the defensive line through the half, while Everton, who had lost a good game, stabilized their mentality and began to defend and counterattack. In the face of the opponent's iron bucket formation, the rising Manchester City did not have many chances, but Everton got a great opportunity, and if it wasn't for Kompany's late return to the defense to destroy Saha's one-on-one in time, Everton might even have achieved a stunner.

When the referee blew the final whistle, Linson also had to accept the result of being held to a draw by Everton at home, a draw that was not good in terms of result and not bad in terms of process, and also ended Manchester City's four-game winning streak in all competitions.

Thankfully, the "accidental" draw by Everton did not cost Manchester City the top spot.

Another big game in this round, Chelsea vs. Manchester United.

Before the game, Chelsea was temporarily third with nine wins, five draws and three losses in 17 games, ahead of them was Manchester City and Manchester United, who remained unbeaten in one round of less, with 35 and 34 points respectively, this game was also widely considered by the media to be Ancelotti's battle of life and death, due to Linson's "trouble", Ancelotti finally failed to achieve his feat of winning the double in the Premier League in the first year in his original history, which undoubtedly made him lose a lot of points in Abu's mind, and this season Chelsea has been counted as a high start and low so far, They have been winless for five rounds, and it is actually not surprising what will happen if this big battle is worse again.

The end result was Carlo Ancelotti's redemption as Chelsea finally played a beautiful blockade at Stamford Bridge to beat the visiting Manchester United 2-1. Ending United's unbeaten run in the new season, Carlo Ancelotti has temporarily relieved his immediate needs, but anyone knows that if Ancelotti wants to make his position a little more secure under his ass, it is clear that this victory will not be enough.

It is worth mentioning that due to Drogba's form has dropped a lot compared to last season, Chelsea, which has been trapped by weak strikers in the recent stage, has once again been linked with Liverpool's Torres as the winter transfer period approaches, and this time, at least, Linson knows that most of it will come true, and he is also well aware of the outcome of this transfer.

Linson has no interest in intervening in Torres' turn of fortune, and he is more interested in who Liverpool will bring in to replace Torres than this, because Suarez is already in his own team.

Moreover, when it comes to winter transfers, the game against Everton, in addition to the game itself, Linson did not have a little bit of thought about examining the opposing left-back Baines.

Bridge's state can already be described as a river day down, in this game, Manchester City's first goal, and he was not tight on the side, giving the opponent Osman the opportunity to calmly assist, and this is not the first time Bridge has made such a low-level mistake this season, and compared with the table of Everton's left-back Baines who scored the second goal, Bridge's game can be said to be a complete defeat.

In the left-back position this season, Azli Piqueta's appearances have improved significantly compared with last season, and the increase in his appearances is directly squeezed by Bridge, this is not Azli Piqueta's ability has suddenly increased by leaps and bounds, but Bridge's state has really made Linson have to trust the young Spaniard. Bridge didn't have any complaints about this, but Lin Sen knew that his feelings were obviously wrong. In this regard, Lin Sen has no choice, on the issue of Bridge, he has done everything he can do, and even what he can't do has done a lot. But in the final analysis, a player's career is still in his own hands.

If it was last season, Linson might have been able to make do with it and leave the problem for the summer, but this season it can't be done, because in the second half of the season, Manchester City will not only face an increasingly fierce title race in the league, but also a more brutal knockout game awaits them in Europe, not to mention that the FA Cup will also start in the second half.

Therefore, Linson has made up his mind to find a first-class left-back in the winter transfer window. It's just one thing to find it, and it's another thing to find it. The winter transfer period is different from the summer, and the top left-back is already a scarce resource, not to mention that Linsen still wants a main left-back who can qualify for the Champions League.

Champions League qualification, this alone can already rule out a lot of goals, and the main level, and exclude a lot of potential stocks in Linsen's heart, the remaining targets, in fact, are few, and Baines is undoubtedly the most suitable one.

This summer, because of the influence of his wife, Bridget withdrew from the England team, and Capello selected one of the candidates for Bridges was Baines, although Capello chose Aston Villa's Warnock in the final list to South Africa, but this did not prevent Linson from judging the player, after Ashley Cole aged, it was not Warnock who replaced him in the England team, but Baines. The Wigan Athletic-born left-back, who switched to the Toffees for $5 million three years ago, quickly established himself in the Everton squad and is one of the few bright spots in the "sinking" Everton squad this season.

However, Bynes is good, Moyes is difficult.

The previous transfer of Lescott has proved this, and now that Everton's results are poor, Linson is really optimistic that Moyes will let go of his main left-back, so in addition to Baines, there is also an alternative target in Linson's sights, that is, according to the original trajectory, Serbian left-back Krarov, who should have come to Manchester City in the summer.

After the match against Everton, Linsen in the press conference was quickly asked about the Champions League draw, and naturally the comments of "Milan Sport" were indispensable.

Regarding the draw, Lin Sen didn't want to give any opinion at all, accusing UEFA of being greasy in the draw? Do you have proof? Or complain about your bad luck? Is it necessary? Touting the great history of rivals AC Milan? Then it's even more unnecessary. So, it's as simple as that, now that it's been drawn, we'll see you on the field.

As for "Milan Sports Newspaper", Lin Sen had already seen the arrogance of the other party when he played Inter Milan last time, which is also nothing new, but this time Lin Sen did not intend to be false, but replied-for-tat.

Signed? Then our task is to make it a sign. (To be continued......)
