This is what Lin Sen is most worried about, and it is also what he feels most troublesome.

No team, with a massive overhaul and the status quo set in stone, is not a healthy team. By the time Linson left Manchester City, he knew exactly what kind of team he had left for his next manager, and Manuel Pellegrini knew exactly what kind of team he was taking over.

So, for Manchester City, it's impossible to make a big move, fine-tuning is the right way to go. Last season, Manuel Pellegrini took over as a new official, and three fires were inevitable, but they basically did not burn Manchester City's main lineup.

That's where Pellegrini's ingenuity lies.

Fine-tuning has remained the tone for Manchester City's transfers this summer, but Linson knows that sometimes it's not always up to you to decide in the transfer market. For example, now.

Manchester City don't want to let Suarez go, but Suarez is already on the move. Manchester City also don't want to let Bale go, but Real Madrid are already in a position to win.

It's Pellegrini's trouble, and it's Linson's trouble.

Unlike Suarez, for Bale, Linson is not sure whether he has "hooked up" with Real Madrid, the player who almost looked like he would become a superstar, at least when Linsen was still in office, did not express any thoughts of leaving, of course, this is not the same as in the past.

Speaking with Mubarak, Mubarak said that although Florentino mentioned Bale on the phone, he seemed to be more inquiring than discussing, and it was clear that although the other party did not want to give up Bale, he did not want to destroy the relationship established with Manchester City through several transfers in previous years.

Of course, two businessmen are harmonious, that is the basic etiquette of other businessmen, and it would be too naïve if Lin Sen thought that Real Madrid's pursuit of Bale would also be "harmonious".

Lin Sen thought for a moment, picked up his mobile phone and dialed it.

To his surprise, it was a woman who answered the phone.

"Emma?" Lin Sen quickly heard the other party's voice and asked with a smile.

"Boss?" The other party is none other than Emma Jones. and Bell's childhood sweetheart's girlfriend, the two have known each other since they were students and have been running on the road of love for ten years, and Bell always poses a heart shape with his hand every time he scores a goal in the game, which is a gift for her. At present, the two already have a daughter who is more than a year old, and many people think that the two have actually married secretly, but as far as Lin Sen knows, the two are still a couple.

Bale spent four of his five years at Manchester City under Linson, and his girlfriend is naturally no stranger to Linsen, and Emma has been like Bale since the first meeting. Call Lin Sen the boss.

A simple greeting, Lin Sen quickly asked Bell.

Gareth...... He just went out with his friends, and he doesn't know when he will come back......" Hearing Lin Sen's words, it seemed that he hesitated for a moment before Emma said slowly, "I asked him to call you when he comes back?" ”

Lin Sen's brows furrowed suddenly, but of course Emma, who was on vacation in the United States at this time, could not know, and then he still maintained his soothing voice, "It's okay." Then you have a little fun. ”

Hang up. Lin Sen's brow furrowed even tighter.

Didn't find Bell? No. Lin Sen didn't think so, he thought it was not so much that he didn't find it, but that Bell didn't want to find it.

It's not that Lin Sen doesn't believe Emma, although he and Emma haven't met a few times. But this girl who even shows some shyness when facing the camera, it is not difficult for Lin Sen to guess something from her hesitation.

Bell didn't want to take his own call, and there was no worse news. Because of this, Lin Sen is almost certain. Real Madrid have already been linked with Bale, and even with Cheng Dù, even more closely than Suarez is with Barcelona.

Come to think of it. Lin Sen sighed.

It seems that in the course of a year, some things have indeed changed.

Otherwise, Lin Sen can only hope that his feelings are just an illusion, that what Emma said to him is true, that Bell is really out, if he can get a call back from Bell.

But......

Lin Sen didn't receive a call back from Bell, but instead received a call from the person he least wanted to receive.

Jonathan Barnett.

Bell's agent.

"Lin. I'm sorry. This was Barnett's first sentence, and it was also a sentence that made Linsen feel helpless.

For Barnett, Linson is no stranger, Bale was able to come to Manchester City from Tottenham instead of going to Manchester United next door, thanks to this agent, and when Linson was still the manager of Manchester City, Bale signed a new contract with Manchester City that made him one of the highest-paid players in the Premier League, and Barnett also played an important role in it.

Manchester City for four years, as the head coach of Linsen and many agents do not deal with, but in terms of player renewal, thanks to Manchester City's financial wealth, Linsen does not need to worry much about agents in this regard, so he also maintains a good relationship with many agents, and Barnett is one of them.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Barnett, who should have been on business in this situation, would first say such a sentence to Lin Sen.

"I'm not waiting for your call, Jonathan." Lin Sen shook his head and smiled, "And you don't need to be sorry. ”

"I've got to make this call." Barnett said, "And I have to say that, if you hadn't left last year......

"It's in the past, Barnett." Linson interrupted Barnett, "And I don't think there's much of a difference. ”

"Nope." Barnett shook his head and said, "There's a big difference, Lin. You should know that the only condition for Gareth to remain at Manchester City is that you are the manager. Gareth had wanted to call you back in person, and asked me not to do it. Because I know it's hard for him to say no to you if he calls you back. But frankly, I think it's better for him to leave. ”

"What about you?" Lin Sen sneered.

"Of course it's good for me, and it's not small." Barnett seemed to be unimpressed by Linson's ridicule, he frankly admitted Linsen's unspoken meaning, and then said slowly, "But that's Real Madrid, Lin." Even if Manchester City wins three more Champions Leagues, Manchester City still can't become Real Madrid. You have to admit that Gareth deserves to be on a higher stage. ”

"It seems that there is no room for anything?" Lin Sen sneered again.

"Nope." Barnett said. "There's room for it. Gareth didn't want any unpleasantness with the club over the matter, and to be honest, I asked Gareth to make a transfer request, but he refused. ”

This time, Lin Sen didn't speak.

He understood what Barnett meant, and if Bale accepted Barnett's offer to Manchester City, then there would be no room for manoeuvre. Admittedly, in this way, his transfer process will most likely be accelerated. But in that case, for Manchester City, it is undoubtedly passive, and that is what Real Madrid is most happy to see, because at that time, they can take advantage of the player's heart is no longer in Manchester City, and the transfer fee is the lowest, isn't this what Real Madrid does best?

That's why Barnett said. Manchester City still has leeway, and this leeway is actually given by Bale.

At the end of the call with Barnett, Lin Sen had a headache.

I have to say. Barnett is indeed a good agent, at least in this matter, his handling can actually be said to be leaky, from beginning to end. He's all playing the role of blackface, and then giving all the redface roles to Bell, and so on. Even if he and the club tear their faces, the players and the club will not be unable to step down from each other.

This is what a football agent should do, both to get the best out of the player without harming the player himself. Of course, such an agent is obviously not a happy object for the club.

Still holding the phone in his hand, Lin Sen began to wonder if he should tell Sù Pellegrini about this outright bad news.

If Suarez and Bale are lost at the same time, not to mention other impacts, the entire offensive system of Manchester City in the new season will undoubtedly be greatly affected, even if Linsen can find a replacement, such an impact cannot be made up for a while, not to mention, the replacement is not easy to find.

Thinking of this, Lin Sen couldn't help but feel a little tired of Real Madrid.

From David Silva to Di Maria, and now from Di Maria to Bale, although in addition to the former, in fact, the latter two are actually following the trajectory in Lin Sen's memory, but thinking of the conversation with Florentino that Mubarak talked about, now Lin Sen has completely understood, and he dares to love the other party is playing the Ming Xiu plank road and secretly Chen Cang, such a big thing, he is actually unaware.

This couldn't help but make Lin Sen feel a little annoyed, if not, even if Barnett was so skillful, how could he be so passive, Barnett just said, I don't know how long he has been preparing.

At this time, Lin Sen didn't know that just when he felt annoyed, the second inquiry fax of this summer had just "arrived" in Manchester City. And this fax is not from Spain, but from another country.

France.

And at the same time, in England, there is a team that is not very remarkable, and a "little thing" has just happened.

Cambridge United, nicknamed "TheUs" or "ThePlate", in the university town of Cambridgeshire in the east of England, struggled at the bottom of the league from its 35-year-long relegation to the National League of Associations in 2005 until last season, when they returned to the English football league in second place with a play-off promotion to League Two.

Like other century-old English football clubs, the little-known Cambridge United has just celebrated its 100th birthday, and the club, which has been promoted to the second tier twice, the FA Cup twice and the League Cup quarter-finals once, can only accommodate more than 8,000 spectators at the home stadium of Abbe Stadium, which is quite a shabby football club in the UK.

Just when Lin Sen was worried about how to deal with the poaching of European giants, Cambridge United, who had announced on the official website three days ago that former Manchester City assistant coach Tang Hua would become the club's new manager, welcomed their young Chinese coach.

Standing in the equally shabby headquarters of Cambridge United, Tang Hua, who was holding a yellow and black jersey, looked shy and expectant. (To be continued......)
