Finally, it was time to play.

How else to say that a good result can cover up the ugliness, when Manchester City won in a row, nothing happened, and Manchester City only suffered two draws, Ribeiro dared to complain to himself that Robinho did not play enough time?

But, is Robinho really playing less?

In terms of the use of Robinho, Linson has always adhered to two principles since this season, one is to play left winger and not center, and the other is to play in the league and not in the cup. Under these two principles, Robinho's playing time is actually not small, at least, before the last two rounds of the league with a rotation system, Robinho has almost maintained full attendance, although on a few occasions he did not play the full game.

Considering that it has been two games a week almost every week since the new season, Linson does not think that the other party cannot understand this, so the reason why Ribeiro still mentions this issue is actually only one reason, that is, Robinho is still dissatisfied with the frequent substitutions. Thinking of this, Lin Sen shook his head in his heart.

If Robinho still wants to enjoy the star-studded treatment of the whole team like last season, then he is too naïve, not to mention anything else, Robben and David Silva are no longer inferior to him in terms of fame and strength, not to mention that he has a terrible competitor that only Linsen knew about before and is now probably seen by many people: Bale.

So......

At this time, Lin Sen suddenly noticed that a trace of green actually flashed on the top of Ribeiro's head on the opposite side, which made Lin Sen understand it instantly.

Green is the color of excitement.

Why is Ribeiro excited? Because Lin Sen didn't answer for a long time.

Obviously, if there is still someone in this world at this time who wants Robinho to fall out with him, then this person must be none other than the Ribeiro in front of him. It's very simple, because he's a broker. Robinho, who just signed one of the highest contracts in the Premier League with Manchester City last year, is obviously unlikely to renew his contract with Manchester City in a short period of time, which means that Ribeiro, as an agent, will not be able to earn commissions from Robinho in a short period of time. But what if Robinho fell out with himself......

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." Lin Sen's gaze took off Ribeiro's body, although he knew in his heart that this was exactly the answer that the other party wanted, but he still felt that he couldn't compromise on this matter, because he was not a child, and it was impossible to deliberately ignore his principles just to fight with the other party, "The only issue of playing is not negotiable with me." I've given players the guarantee of the first team, but it always requires a premise, and that is to be a player! Table xiàn is the basis for playing. Mr. Ribeiro. Even Robinho couldn't break the rules. ”

Sure enough, as soon as Lin Sen spoke, the top of Ribeiro's head was already green and shiny, although his face clearly looked so annoyed.

"What you mean, I'll tell Robinho the truth." Ribeiro stood up and said in a suppressed voice, sounding dissatisfied.

"Of course." Lin Sen sneered in his heart, "By the way, about my private life just now." There is another sentence that you would like to tell you truthfully. ”

Lin Sen didn't raise his head, and said lightly, "I won't interfere in his private life, but if he interferes in the private lives of other team members." That's a different story. ”

If he could, Lin Sen really didn't want to make the relationship with Robinho so stiff, so stiff that he needed to be a microphone with an agent, in Lin Sen's opinion. This is just too naïve. But since Robinho finally chose this way, then Linson has nothing to say, maybe this is probably a big-name star.

Adriano, Robinho, and even Suarez. In fact, in Lin Sen's memory, these people can be "saved", but saving also requires a person to do his best, what is Lin Sen's interest in saving people who are bent on death, for example, when he was in Brazil in the summer, if Adriano turned away at that time, then Lin Sen would also turn around and leave, and he would be more resolute than the other party.

Isn't that the truth that you can't live by self-inflicted abuse?

October 26, the tenth round of the Premier League.

Manchester City, who are fighting at home and have drawn two in a row, have shown their desire to win at home. Manchester City, who had nearly 70 per cent of the possession throughout the game, contributed 23 shots, 11 of which hit the woodwork, forcing Fulham goalkeeper Schwarzer to make at least three world-class saves, and even the post to deny the visitors two must-score chances, but even so, City still struggled to find a win.

The score was 0-0.

When the referee blew the final whistle of the game, looking at the scoreboard above the stands, Lin Sen's brows were tightly locked, this was already the third draw of the season, in a row.

The Manchester City fans in the stands still gave the team the most enthusiastic applause, because even after three games of winless Manchester City, they are still the only team in the Premier League to remain unbeaten. And, since this match is the latest to be played in this round, Manchester City fans already know the results of the other games before the game. This is destined to be an upset round. Neither Chelsea, Manchester United, nor Arsenal nor Tottenham Hotspur were able to pick up any three points in this round, but Liverpool, who had suffered two consecutive defeats and had no way out, brought a near-long-drought victory to the Reds fans at Anfield Stadium, because they defeated their arch-rivals Manchester United.

What Lin Sen himself did not expect was that thanks to the blessing of the upset, Manchester City, who suffered a third draw, not only did not fall in the standings, but they even closed the points gap with Chelsea, and now, the gap between Manchester City and Chelsea, which has one game less, is only three points.

But even so, in the post-match press conference of this game, the various questions around Linson were not the team's three consecutive draws, but another question: Robinho.

Because of this game, Robinho sat on the bench all the way.

What's more, before this game, "The Sun", which exposed Adriano's nightclub photos earlier, once again gave a fierce news: Robinho and Linson broke up.

Yes, it's a break, when Lin Sen saw this word in the newspaper before the game, he threw the newspaper out on the spot, but after a while, he picked it up again, and then slowly read the whole report.

The writer is a reporter named Peter Anderson, anyway, Lin Sen doesn't know him, but what caught Lin Sen's attention is that this reporter's manuscript is not completely made up, although exaggeration is inevitable, but some facts that should not be known to the outside world are pointed out in the report, such as his meeting with Robinho, and his meeting with Ribeiro.

This is probably Ribeiro's trick.

There is no need to think about it, Lin Sen, who has seen Mendes's methods, immediately understands that this is Ribeiro's trick. Break? It's really an eye-catching word. However, now Lin Sen does not intend to accompany him, and at the press conference, in the face of the reporter's fierce pursuit of Robinho, Lin Sen gave a reply that made everyone shut up.

Robinho started the midweek game -

After the game against Fulham, Linson moved Adriano back to the first team, exactly a week after the Brazilian was relegated to the reserves.

Adriano, who returned to the first team, looked normal, Robinho went up to say hello for the first time, Adriano also responded normally, no different from usual, as the head coach, Lin Sen did not deliberately look for Adriano again, the ideological work, Ariel will naturally help him do a good job, to Lin Sen's surprise, Adriano, who was sent to the reserve team, was actually praised by Robert in charge of the reserve team, but Lin Sen was relieved when he thought about it, this is Adriano, I didn't think too much when I made a mistake, and I didn't think too much about it when I corrected it.

Perhaps, this is the biggest difference between Adriano and Robinho. Everyone wants to be smart, but no one likes to be around someone who can't afford to lose at all.

On 29 October, Manchester City sat at the City Stadium to welcome Newcastle, who had won eight of their Carabao Cup games and were unfortunately relegated last season, and Linson made good on what he said in a few days of press conferences, with Robinho starting the game.

Perhaps it was "stimulated" by Linsen, from the beginning of the game, Robinho was particularly excited, several wonderful bicycle passing actions caused bursts of applause in the stands, and when the Brazilian helped Manchester City open the scoring in the 31st minute, the stands even sounded a song that Manchester City fans created for him last season.

It's a pity that the enthusiasm of the fans did not infect Robinho, after the goal, Robinho did not have any celebrations, his expression was cold as if the goal had nothing to do with him, and the commentator of the live broadcast of the game called Robinho's move to write unhappiness on his face, but for Lin Sen on the sidelines, he couldn't know what Robinho wanted to say.

It is nothing more than a demonstration to yourself.

After Robinho's goal, Wright Jr. sealed the win in the 77th minute, 2-0, to make it to the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup. After the game, Linson once again had to face Robinho's questions, and he simply refused to answer the relevant questions directly.

But at the press conference, Lin Sen could be silent, but at the club, Lin Sen could not be silent. Because this time, Ribeiro upgraded his moves.

Just the day after the end of the League Cup, another person walked into Lin Sen's office, which had been particularly lively in recent days.

This person is the current Manchester City manager who single-handedly managed Robinho's move from Real Madrid to Manchester City last summer, Gary Cook. (To be continued......)
