Chapter 32 The road is narrow, and Bayern is really drawn!
Catalonia, Municipality of Santepedo.
Pep Guardiola is discussing with his girlfriend Serra where to take wedding photos and where to go for the wedding.
Finally idle, he wanted to make up for the debt he owed to his girlfriend over the years.
The love of the two has been running for more than 15 years, and if they don't hold hands and enter the marriage hall, it will be a bit too much.
"It's a nice place, close to the sea, and there's an old castle, just right to invite friends and family to the wedding without being disturbed by reporters!"
"Well, that's going to be here, but what about you going to invite those friends and relatives?"
Serra looked at Pep Guardiola with a curious expression, she knew that the other party had a lot of friends in football, but she didn't know if he would invite these people.
"Let's keep it as low-key as possible, so I don't invite too many people, I don't want our wedding to be disturbed by too many people!"
Guardiola thought about it for a while, and did not plan to send out invitations, but only planned to invite the people with the best relationship.
"Well, okay, you decide for yourself, but you have to say hello to Lin in advance, I'm worried that he won't have time to come back for our wedding."
"I'll call him about this, you don't have to worry!"
Guardiola opened his mouth and said that Lin Quan has been in the Bundesliga for 2 months.
During this time, because he was busy with vacations and preparing for the wedding, and the Bundesliga had not yet started, he didn't pay much attention to the situation there.
It's time to get in touch with him, otherwise, the kid won't think he's a father who doesn't care about him.
Thinking of this, Guardiola took out his mobile phone and prepared to call Lin Quan.
But at this moment, the mobile phone rang, and someone called.
Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, Guardiola frowned.
However, after seeing the caller ID indicating that it was a call from Germany, Guardiola still answered the phone.
……
Werder Bremen Club, since accepting the invitation of the German Football Association, Werder Bremen has entered a state of intense preparation.
The four teams participating in the Deutsche Telekom Cup have all been confirmed, and the remaining two teams are stronger than Werder Bremen, except for Hamburg.
And the stronger one is not a star and a half, but at least a notch stronger.
Therefore, Coach Schaaf is very pragmatic to prepare an iron bucket formation for these two teams, intending to use defensive counter-attacking tactics to deal with them.
In the counter-attack, Werder Bremen must take advantage of the limited few chances they have, otherwise they will likely lose.
For this reason, Coach Schaaf thought twice and decided to put Lin Quan in the starting lineup, using his excellent scoring ability to improve the team's counterattack power.
Of course, this kind of big thing needs to be discussed with the player himself, after all, Lin Quan is still young and has never played as a starter before.
"Lin, I'm going to put you in the starting list for the next game, do you have a problem here? I'm talking about the physical aspect of things! ”
Coach Schaaf was straightforward and didn't go around in circles.
Before, he might have worried that Lin Quan's mentality was not stable enough and he lacked competition experience, but after so many days of observation, he didn't have to worry about Lin Quan's problems in these aspects.
Now there is only one thing to worry about, and that is physical fitness.
The age of sixteen or seventeen is the critical moment for teenagers to grow their bodies, and it is the second peak of development.
Boys at this stage are generally thinner and less physically ready than adults, so it is difficult for them to play the full game.
If it was a 90-minute regular game, Schaaf would not easily put Lin Quan in the starting lineup.
However, the Telecom Cup is only 60 minutes, with 30 minutes in each half and 15 minutes in between.
In terms of the fitness of the players, the pressure is not particularly high.
If Lin Quan thinks it's okay, he can try it.
If Lin Quan didn't have confidence, then he would cancel this plan, or replace him in the second half as usual.
Hearing the head coach's words, Lin Quan thought about it seriously.
He plays as a striker, and the team executes the ultimate defensive counter-attacking tactics, so he doesn't need to go too deep to defend back, just need him to play on the offensive end.
In this way, the test of his physical fitness will not be very big, and if he plays the whole game, it should be no problem.
If he really can't, he can also go to the system and spend a point to exchange for a stamina potion.
Thinking of this, Lin Quan nodded solemnly:
"Don't worry, coach, leave it to me!"
……
In the evening, the draw for the Telecom Cup began.
Werder Bremen were unlucky to draw Bayern Munich, a result that left the players with disappointed expressions on their faces.
"How nice it would be if we drew a burger, we have a good chance of advancing to the next round if we draw a burger, so it's a good ......."
Although Bayern Munich has a poor record in the Bundesliga in the past two seasons, the opponent's hard power is there, whether it is the strength of the players or the depth of the bench, it is not comparable to Werder Bremen.
Fortunately, this is only a cup game, but a cup competition that is very prone to upsets, and Werder Bremen is not completely out of chance.
"The probability of drawing a hamburger is too low, and we and Hamburg were originally pulled in to accompany the prince to study.
The protagonists of the Telecom Cup are Dortmund and Bayern Munich, so they will definitely not be arranged to fight each other in the first round, then the final will not be interesting, and the sponsors will definitely not be happy! ”
"That's right, in the first round, arrange a fish belly for these two teams to warm up, and then these two teams will give fans a big battle of Mars hitting the earth in the finals, that is the ideal script!"
"Ahem, the hamburger is a fish belly, I agree, how can we become a fish belly, I don't agree with this statement!"
"Haha, we weren't a few points higher than Hamburger last season, and it's not too much to say fish belly!"
"But we have Lin and Kevin this season, and it's not the same as last season!"
……
Seeing the players talking and laughing, several members of the coaching staff breathed a sigh of relief.
They were worried that after the players knew the opponent in the game, they would be intimidated by the opponent's strong strength, and then they would be afraid and play the game abnormally.
Now it seems that they are overthinking.
The players at Werder Bremen have put their mentality right this season, they understand that they are only a relegation team, so they have no psychological burden when they meet a team like Bayern Dortmund.
Because it's only natural to lose to the other party, there's nothing strange about it.
On the contrary, in case of an upset, it will make a lot of money!
Bayern Munich, on their side, were also happy after seeing the result of the draw.
"Hehe, it seems that our opponent in the first round is good, the strength is not too strong and not too weak, just enough to warm up."
"I hope Dortmund won't be eliminated by Hamburg, in that case, in the final, we can avenge last year's three kills!"
The players are gearing up for nothing more than revenge on Borussia Dortmund.
As for Werder Bremen?
Who cares about this kind of garbage team!
