Chapter 17: The Manager's Surprising Discovery

"Come again!"

De Bruyne said unconvinced.

Although Lin Quan thinks that his defense is a bit of a dish, no matter how much he cooks, he is better than a dummy who can't move, right?

So he gladly accepted his challenge.

This time it was supposed to be Lin Quan's defense, and De Bruyne broke through.

However, De Bruyne was bent on cutting off Lin Quan's ball, and he gave up the opportunity to take the initiative to attack and continued to stand in a defensive position.

Obviously, this is a guy who refuses to give in easily!

After Lin Quan held the ball, he repeated his old tricks, and this time De Bruyne was still deceived by Lin Quan's feints, but he did not make a move easily.

Obviously, he had already discovered that Lin Quan could interfere with his judgment through the change of the center of gravity, and if he thought that the other party was going to break through from this direction just because the other party's center of gravity had moved, he would most likely be deceived.

However, to De Bruyne's surprise, he didn't move, but Lin Quan on the opposite side moved.

I saw him swing the ball forward, his body instantly accelerated, and a gust of wind rushed past De Bruyne's side.

De Bruyne was too late to react, not only did he not have the opportunity to stretch his feet to destroy, but he also had no opportunity to fight physically.

After completing the breakthrough, Lin Quan stopped the ball and looked at De Bruyne strangely.

"Kevin, seeing that my center of gravity has changed, why don't you stretch out your feet and destroy it?"

De Bruyne is also reflecting on the issue:

"I was deceived by your feints before, and after seeing your center of gravity change, I was worried that it would be another feint, so I reacted a little slower."

Lin Quan nodded, agreeing with his answer.

It's not a problem for De Bruyne alone, it's a problem shared by all defenders who face Messi.

Messi's movements are faster than the average player, and his talent is extremely good, which allows him to easily change his center of gravity and make all kinds of deceptive feints.

If the defender notices the change in his center of gravity and blocks the direction he intends to break through, Messi will use his faster frequency to quickly change the direction of the breakthrough in a very short time, and the defender's body is already difficult to keep up with his rhythm at this time, so he can only watch him leave.

If the defender hadn't been deceived and didn't block his breakthrough line, it would have been easier for Messi.

He just needs to continue to break forward and get past defenders with ease.

After all, Messi's movements are inherently faster than most players, and if you don't keep up with his movements in the first step, it is absolutely impossible to catch up with him in the second step.

In short, compared to the average offensive player, Messi combines the two steps of feints + breakthroughs into one.

The average offensive player needs to make a feint to deceive the defender before taking advantage of the opponent's mistake to complete the pass.

Messi, on the other hand, blends these two moves together, causing each of his moves to be like a feint, and no matter what choice you make, he can get past you.

Therefore, defending Messi cannot rely on experience, but on prediction.

Only a defender with top anticipation will be able to defend against Messi.

And in today's football, such people are rare.

"Again, I don't believe I can't find a way to defend you!"

De Bruyne saw how powerful Lin Quan was, but this only boosted his fighting spirit even more.

The other party is only sixteen or seventeen years old at best, probably just a member of Werder Bremen's youth team, if he can't even prevent such a person, then he should really buy a piece of tofu and die.

……

Half an hour later.

"Don't kick anymore, I'm tired!"

De Bruyne collapsed to the ground in exhaustion, his body was in a large shape, his eyes stared blankly at the sky, and he had already begun to doubt life.

Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?

Why was it that I had been passed by a kid seventy times and not even made a successful steal?

Will I ever play football?

Lin Quan was also tired enough, and the continuous passing was a great burden on his knees.

Even if De Bruyne doesn't call it to stop, he will take the initiative to call it out.

I don't know how Messi has persevered for so many years, Lin Quan feels that with such frequent acceleration, change of direction and passing, his knee will be scrapped sooner or later.

……

Since the last in-depth conversation with Alofs, Werder Bremen manager Thomas Schaff has relaxed and no longer put so much pressure on himself.

However, letting go of the pressure doesn't mean it's over.

He has feelings for the team and doesn't want the team to be relegated in his own hands.

So, even if the cards in his hand are not good, he tries to make changes as much as possible and combine them to make the most of it.

As for whether Werder Bremen can stay in the Bundesliga after the season, it is up to fate.

Because the team has a lot of old players and a lot of new players on loan in the new season, he needs to make changes to the team's starting lineup.

In order to choose the most suitable starting line-up, it is necessary to have a good understanding of the information of these young players in the team.

This is best done before the start of the training camp for the new season, so that he can understand the technical characteristics of each player at the beginning of the training camp.

If a player falls short of what he wants, he can also use the summer transfer window to bolster the team.

So, he ended his vacation early and drove to the club, intending to get into work early.

As a result, when passing by the training ground, I saw Lin Quan and De Bruyne who were training.

Seeing the two training together, Schaaf was a little curious.

These two should be competitive in the team, I thought they would be difficult to get along, but I didn't expect to get along so quickly?

With curiosity, he watched from the sidelines for a while.

At this glance, he was a little unable to move.

Half an hour later, both young players collapsed to the ground in exhaustion, while Schaaf on the sidelines was a little overwhelmed with excitement.

Seventy times, a full seventy successful breakthroughs, the opponent did not even succeed in defending once.

It shocked him and made him feel like he had watched a science fiction movie.

Although De Bruyne had certain problems in defense, the opponent did not make a single mistake, all of them succeeded, and even used no less than ten breakthrough techniques.

Is such a powerful breakthrough ability something that should be available at this age?

Isn't that too rebellious?

How is Barcelona willing to let such a player out on loan without fear of being abducted by other teams?

Is our team picking up a breakthrough king for nothing?

Such a player, placed in any team, is the core of the future winger who will focus on developing.

It's the kind of core that can build around him, just like Messi and Ronaldo!

However, he remembered that this guy played in the back midfield position on the side of the Barcelona youth team!

In the end, Barcelona's vision is not good, and it will not use people.

Or has a cosmic team like Barcelona developed a new tactic of putting wingers at the back?
