Chapter 52: The Parrot Legion is about to set sail
After Lin Quan got the money, he planned to buy some training equipment and put it at home to facilitate daily training.
This match made him realize that his current physical condition is not enough to support him to play the whole game.
If he doesn't work hard to improve his fitness reserves, he will have to wait until next year or even longer if he wants to make his debut.
I had just bought the equipment and returned home with the delivery man, only to find that there were guests at home.
"Pep, why are you here?"
After seeing that it was Guardiola, Lin Quan was very surprised, he thought that the other party should be busy preparing for the wedding now, but he didn't expect the other party to come.
"I saw you got injured in the game, so come and take a look, you're okay, right?"
Guardiola said in a concerned tone.
After leaving Munich, he went to Dortmund first, and after learning that Lin Quan had returned to Bremen with the team, he chased after him non-stop.
"It's no big deal, the team doctor used the team's equipment to check on me, and there is no problem!"
Hearing this answer, Guardiola breathed a sigh of relief.
The answer he was most afraid of hearing was that Lin Quan was seriously injured, but when he saw the other party jumping around, he knew that this possibility was very low.
"That's good!"
At this time, Guardiola saw the training equipment in the hands of the workers who were moving into the house.
"You bought it yourself?"
"Well, I'm going to train more and try to get into the starting lineup as soon as possible!"
"If you start, it may be a little earlier for a player of your age, so it's better to start after you get used to the rhythm of the Bundesliga game!"
Hearing that the sixteen-year-old Lin Quan wanted to fight for the starting position, Guardiola sighed very much.
When he was sixteen years old, he was still in the echelon!
It wasn't until the age of 19 that he made his way to the Camp Nou for senior team, and it wasn't until he was 21 years old that he really established himself in the first team.
Compared with himself, Lin Quan started much earlier.
However, after watching a Lin Quan match on the spot, Guardiola realized that the opponent's talent is much stronger than when he was younger.
If you are just an ordinary star, then the other party has the potential to become a superstar.
"Well, that's what the coach said!"
After Coach Shaaf disbanded the team, he talked to Lin Quan for a while.
It was about his tactical positioning for the new season, and Schaff told him that he would be the heart of the team's attack.
However, he was not fit enough to play the full game, so Coach Schaaf wanted him to accept the tactical arrangement and come off the bench in the second half.
A substitute at the heart of the team's attack?
If this kind of talk is heard by others, it will definitely think that Schauff is lying to the child.
But Lin Quan believed that what Scharf said was true, and he did not deceive himself.
He accepted Coach Schaaf's offer, but that didn't mean he was willing to accept the substitute position.
Therefore, it is necessary to practice physical fitness, strive to meet the requirements of the coaching staff as soon as possible, and grab the starting position.
"It's good to have this kind of heart, but pay attention to the amount of training, don't hurt yourself, at your age, the most important thing to avoid is injury!"
Guardiola knew that Lin Quan's character was strong, so he didn't say anything, just reminded him not to hurt himself.
Pep Guardiola spent two days in Bremen, during which time he met with the club's coach Schaaf, and the two had a speculative conversation.
Pep Guardiola briefed Schaff on his previous training with Lin Quan and his tactical positioning in Barcelona's youth team.
Schaaf asked Pep Guardiola for advice on the use of Messi in the lineup of the Barcelona first team, including wingers, shadow strikers, etc
Messi is the most talented and proud of any player Pep Guardiola has coached.
Guardiola has his own experience on how to use Messi.
If someone had asked him this question, he would definitely not have told them.
But if Schaaf asked, it would be different, because Guardiola could see that Schaaf seemed to be planning to use Lin Quan as the Messi of Werder Bremen.
If you think about it carefully, the style of play of these two people is really very close, and even the way they pass is almost identical.
Maybe the way Messi is used by Barcelona will also work here at Werder Bremen?
On the last day, after having dinner with Lin Quan's host family, Guardiola left Bremen and returned to Catalonia.
Before leaving, he reminded:
"Don't forget to come back to my wedding to Serra, which is scheduled for October 1st!"
"Don't worry, I'll remember!"
When his adoptive father and adoptive mother got married, even if he asked for leave, he had to go back.
What's more, the team didn't play that day, so it was even more necessary to go back.
Pep Guardiola left, and Lin Quan's vacation ended.
On August 9, the players returned to the club one after another to report.
On this day, Werder Bremen also officially announced on its official website that all the transfer work for this season was over.
All summer signings will be unveiled at Weser Stadium ahead of the team's warm-up match against Premier League side Aston Villa on the 11th, and the team's kits for the new season will also be officially available for sale.
This summer, Werder Bremen brought in a total of 11 players, including three on loan, four on buy, two free to sign for zero transfer fees, and two from the club's echelon.
Although the number of players brought in is quite large, the cost of reinforcements is not high.
The loan trio cost a total of 1.25 million euros, and the bought four spent 8.5 million euros, adding up to 9.75 million, less than 10 million.
This level of expenditure is definitely a model of careful budgeting for small and medium-sized teams.
On 11 August, Werder Bremen host Premier League side Aston Villa.
In the pre-match player meeting, the eleven players who were recruited in the summer were unveiled one after another.
There were 45,000 spectators at the scene, and it was almost full.
The reason why so many people came was mainly because of the team's outstanding performance in the Telecom Cup, which allowed fans to see signs of the team's revival and awakened their enthusiasm for watching football.
The victory in the Telecom Cup was an unexpected surprise for Werder Bremen fans.
I thought I was just accompanying the prince to study, but I didn't expect the team to win the championship.
Although the gold content of the championship is not high, it is not as good as the league trophy and the German Cup trophy, but it is not a trophy?
And through these two games, they got to know these new faces of the team.
The strength of people like Lukimuya, Selassie, Elia and others has been recognized by the team's fans.
As for Lin Quan and De Bruyne, the two young players, they are the two most surprising points of the team's new season.
Lin Quan's strong finishing ability in the frontcourt, De Bruyne's tandem midfield, and his talent on the offensive end have been unanimously recognized by the fans.
As a result, they all began to look forward to the team's results in the new season!
Because these two games got to know these newcomers in the team in advance, they were warmly cheered by the fans when these players came on the field.
Among them, De Bruyne and Lin Quan received the most cheers.
When Lin Quan appeared on the stage wearing the number 10 jersey, the 45,000 fans in the audience stood up and chanted his name in unison, and some even wore the team's new season jersey, which had just been opened for sale.
And the jersey worn by these fans is Lin Quan's No. 10 jersey!
He hasn't played a game in the Bundesliga, but he has become the most popular player among the fans in the team!
This scene happened to be recorded by a reporter from Bild, and it became a classic photo discussed by many fans in the future.
In the 2012-2013 season, Werder Bremen is about to set sail.
