Chapter 7: A Trace
Tang Hua is gone.
He went to Cambridge United.
Lin Sen didn't know if he could succeed, or if he could come back to continue to assist him when he really wanted to coach, but he didn't ask, and he didn't want to ask, to put it nobly, life is like this, it's your own life, you can't plan everything just right, people are not as good as heaven, and plans can't catch up with changes, that's the truth, especially for yourself, let alone others.
Therefore, many things, just go with the flow, and the boat to the bridgehead naturally cannot be regarded as a positive state of mind, but sometimes it has to be so.
After sending Tang Hua away, Lin Sen returned to the hotel, because he had just taken up his post, Lin Sen had not found a new place to live for the time being, so he could only live in the hotel temporarily, and the original residence was now owned by Pellegrini.
"Sent away?" When Lin Sen came back, Boya asked.
Lin Sen snorted.
"Are you really willing to let him coach?" Boya said with a smile.
"Dreams can't be stopped." Lin Sen said solemnly.
Boya didn't answer, just looked at him with a smile.
"Okay." Lin Sen smiled awkwardly, shook his head and said, "It's just that there is no choice." I can't stop him from going, can I? Moreover, it is indeed a good opportunity, it is suitable for him, whether it succeeds or not, it is a workout for him. ”
Boya smiled when she heard this, and stopped talking.
"That's right. Go to Carl's for dinner in the evening, you prepare. Lin Sen, who was walking towards the room, suddenly thought of something, and turned around to explain.
Boya nodded in understanding-
Lin Sen, who returned to the room, opened his laptop and opened a folder called MC, and suddenly a pile of documents filled Lin Sen's eyes.
MC, i.e. ManCity.
This is Manchester City's data, and most of it is already a year ago.
This information. Founded five years ago, when Linsen first took charge of Manchester City, the first season can be said to be the most updated season, and in the following seasons, there have been few changes, but almost every change in Linsen's information has caused a shock in European football that season.
Three years ago in the summer, David Silva, who had been rumored with Real Madrid for more than a year, was politely rejected after Linson's final offer. fulfilled his promise to David Silva, of course, Linson did not cheapen Real Madrid, 50 million, so that the Spaniard became the target of this summer, and the Spaniard is not the only player to leave the team this summer, the Dutch midfielder De Jong, who was completely marginalized last season because of the arrival of Yaya Toure, won the Champions League with the team, but for his career. In the end, he chose to transfer, and his direction was AC Milan in Italy.
There is an out, there is an in. The vacancy left by De Jong, the return of the Bend brothers has been seamless. As for David Silva's replacement, it's no secret for a long time, and that is Atletico Madrid striker Sergio Aguero. However, what Lin Sen didn't expect was. It was this transfer that should have happened naturally this summer, but it became the biggest soap opera of the summer.
Linson completely underestimated Atletico's determination to keep Sergio Aguero, or rather. Underestimating Atletico's "hostility" towards him. Although Aguero himself made it clear that he did not rule out reuniting with Linsen, Atletico Madrid was particularly resolute about this transfer, saying that if he didn't sell it, he wouldn't sell it, and he wouldn't sell it if he gave more money.
The brain-racking Linson even threw up the money to sell David Silva in the end, which was already his biggest move since he took charge of Manchester City, however......
Transfers are still like a tug-of-war, with a bit of an eyebrow at one moment and a stalemate at the other.
The soap opera was played for a summer, and on the last day of the closing of the transfer window, Lin Sen, who was already a little annoyed, personally announced the cancellation of the transfer.
In the end, Manchester City once again achieved a profitable transfer this summer, however, this also left a hidden danger for Manchester City in the new season. After Manchester City was eliminated in the Champions League that season, many media pointed the finger at Manchester City's "lack of progress" in the summer, believing that it was the departure of David Silva that led to the gap in the frontcourt that Manchester City was originally most proud of.
For this accusation from the media, Lin Sen did not deny that he had always had the mentality of preferring to lack rather than abuse David Silva's replacement, so after David Silva transferred to Real Madrid, he always recognized Aguero, and after "losing" Aguero, he did not look for another replacement, but directly let Reus in the team take the place of the Spaniard.
Linson has not regretted this choice to this day, and of course it must be admitted that Reus did not fully compensate for David Silva's role, although Reuss did give the position some advantages that the latter did not have.
Regardless, this season is the fewest title in Linsen's four years at the helm of Manchester City.
Then, it was the summer of two years ago.
On this day of summer, Manchester City still could not escape the entanglement of soap operas, and two soap operas were staged together.
One, it's Di Maria. Real Madrid, who poached David Silva from Manchester City last year, did not rest on their laurels, and David Silva's excellent performance seemed to give them a taste of sweetness, and this summer, they set their sights on Di Maria, who should have belonged to them in their original history. The other is a continuation of last summer, with Manchester City launching another offensive against Sergio Aguero.
For Di Maria's transfer, Lin Sen did not set too many obstacles for him this time, but he also gave Real Madrid a price early on: like David Silva, 50 million, not a lot. Then, he ignored Real Madrid's entanglements and focused all his attention on Aguero, for which he even had a secret meeting with him.
This time, Manchester City have learned wisely, and they are no longer focusing on Atletico Madrid, who are not in the middle of the season, but on the players.
As it turned out, Manchester City were the eventual winners this summer.
Di Maria eventually moved to Real Madrid for 50 million, while Sergio Aguero eventually moved to Manchester City for 45 million, down from last year's offer of 5 million.
As for the final outcome of this season, there is no need to repeat it, Manchester City became the biggest winner in Europe that season.
Then, last summer, of course, this has nothing to do with Lin Sen, who left the position.
What Linsen knows is that Manchester City, who have changed their manager, has once again become the absolute protagonist in the transfer market, Jovetic, Navas, Negredo......
Therefore, the current Manchester City, although it is only a year apart, but for Lin Sen, in a word, it is familiar with a trace of strangeness. (To be continued......)
PS: Well, tonight's PX location is a mountain away from where I am, so, you know. I hope tomorrow will be normal, and I can't calm down at night, so let me be a 2Klux...... It's really not an excuse
