Chapter Seventy-Four: The Call of the National Team [2000 Recommended Votes Plus More Requests to Follow!] 】
After the seventh round of the league, the Bundesliga competition came to an end for the time being, and the fire of the national team was rekindled.
Werder Bremen have had a good season in the Bundesliga, and a number of players in their squad have been called up by the national team.
This has both advantages and disadvantages for Werder Bremen, with more players reporting for the national team and increasing the visibility of their club.
However, players running at both the national team and the club will not only affect their fitness, but more games will also increase the risk of injury, which will affect the performance of the club.
It's just that for clubs, there is nothing they can do to stop players from playing for the national team, and for many professional players, playing for the country is their highest pursuit.
Lin Quanben thought that he would report to the Spanish national youth team as before.
But to his surprise, it was not the national youth team that called him, but the Spanish national team.
In order to overcome the lack of the team's forward line, Bosque's national team recruited a large number of strikers in this round of the game, and Lin Quan was among them.
"Hehe, reporters must not have imagined that we recruited 7 strikers in one go, but in fact, they were all just covering for that kid!"
Bosque and assistant coach Tony looked at each other and laughed at each other.
If Lin Quan is recruited alone, he will definitely be focused on by media reporters.
However, the Spanish national team recruited 7 new strikers in one go, and Lin Quan, a newcomer, was mixed in.
The reporters' reporting focus will not be on Lin Quanquan, so that the pressure of public opinion on them will be much less.
"I hope that kid doesn't let us down, otherwise, I'm afraid we will inevitably be sprayed by reporters!"
Bosque sighed that the team's forward problems were so serious that they had to rely on a young man under the age of 17, which was a real headache.
He couldn't understand why the Spanish midfield was so strong, but the forward line was so weak?
Put half of the stars in the midfield to the front line, and Spain will already be invincible!
The two guesses are right, after the announcement of the new national team's squad, the focus of the media is really not on Lin Quan.
"Rushing to the doctor? Bosque gathers seven forwards and vows to solve the stubborn problem of the forward's weakness! 》
"Can Seven Strikers Solve Spain's Ill, Who Is the Nuclear Warhead of the Armada?" 》
"The national youth will be favored, and the 16-year-old young player of Barcelona may break the record of the youngest in the national team! 》
The Spanish media knew very well where their team's weaknesses were, so they focused on Bosque's summoning of seven strikers.
Some people think that this is because the old man can't find a solution, so he can only rush to the doctor.
Others believe that Bosque is bold in making changes and recruiting new players to inject fresh blood into the team.
Supporters and opponents are arguing and the day of the Spanish national team rallying is fast approaching in the midst of such arguments.
On October 8, Lin Quan arrived at the training base of the Spanish national team.
The Las Rozas base is located on the outskirts of Madrid, which is part of Real Madrid.
As soon as he arrived at the national team, he was booed by the onlookers next to the base before he even entered.
Lin Quan didn't expect to receive this kind of treatment, and looked at the onlookers in surprise.
Hey?
They don't seem to be booing themselves?
He followed the fans' line of sight and looked behind him to see a luxury sports car parked behind him, and a man wearing sunglasses got out of the sports car.
At this time, Lin Quan couldn't recognize the other party, and it wasn't until the other party took off his sunglasses that he recognized this as Barcelona's main defender Gerard Pique.
This trendy brand and avant-garde look, I don't know that I thought it was a model who went to participate in the catwalk!
"Are you, Lin?"
Pique got out of the car and saw a young player in front of him, stunned for a moment before recognizing the other party.
Lin Quan originally wanted to leave directly, but he didn't expect to be recognized, so he could only respond with an embarrassed and polite smile.
He didn't really want to say hello to Pique, this guy has a problem with his character, and Guardiola has a share of the credit for leaving Barcelona.
As for Messi's departure from Barcelona later, it is said that it was also his backstab.
There is even gossip that Pique is having an affair with teammate Gavi's mother......
Regardless of whether the news was true or not, Lin Quan decided to stay away from Pique.
Pique didn't seem to notice Lin Quan's indifference, and thought that the other party was not good at words, so he took the initiative to open his arms and gave Lin Quan a warm hug:
"Don't be scared by these guys outside, they're just jealous of our Barcelona results!"
The onlookers found out that Lin Quan was also a Barcelona player, and the boos suddenly became louder.
Lin Quan was speechless in his heart, originally this matter had nothing to do with him, but now it's good, the fans of Real Madrid even booed him.
Thank you, Pique!
With Pique's leadership, Lin Quan quickly became familiar with the internationals in the Barcelona team.
The Spanish national team is not as united as it seems, with the Barcelona gang and the Real Madrid gang clearly divided.
There are many international players in these two teams, and they are mortal enemies in the league, and when it comes to the national team, the two sides do not communicate much, and the relationship is not good.
However, there are exceptions to everything, seeing Lin Quan coming to the base, Morata, a young player on the Real Madrid side, ran over to greet Lin Quan.
"Hey, Lin, I didn't expect you to be called by the national team, I thought I was the only lucky one!"
Morata was a teammate with Lin Quan in the national youth team a few weeks ago, but he didn't expect to be a teammate in the national team again.
As people who have also been promoted from the national youth team, the relationship between the two is much better than that of other players.
"I didn't expect it, maybe because of the team's forward problems, right?"
Lin Quan glanced over at the coaching staff, and Bosque was probably trying to solve the problems on the front line before the Confederations Cup.
Spain's ageing staff is already starting to come to light, and if they lose next year's Confederations Cup, the 2014 World Cup could be in jeopardy.
That's probably why he recruited young players like Alvaro Morata and himself.
"Hehe, I think so too!"
Morata bumped Lin Quan with his arm and whispered to him:
"Do you think we'll have a chance to play in the game?"
Entering the national team squad is only the first step, if you can get a chance to play in the squad, then it can be regarded as a real take-off!
"I don't know, if there is a warm-up track, we should have a chance to play, if there is no warm-up race, I'm afraid it will be very suspenseful!"
Morata looked frustrated: "The team is going to Belarus to play the World Qualifiers, and there have been no friendly matches before ......"
"When is the World Preliminary Tournament?"
"October 13th?"
Morata looked at Lin Quan curiously, and said in his heart, "You come to the national team to report, don't you even know what game the national team is going to play?
"The main match on the 13th, it's only the 8th now, and there are four or five days in between, which is enough to play a warm-up game!"
Lin Quan held his chin and stared at Morata for a long time.
Morata was a little hairy by the other party, and couldn't help asking:
"What are you staring at me, I didn't even have contact with the opponent in the warm-up match, how can I arrange it?"
"Didn't you play for Real Madrid? Wouldn't it be better to talk to your big brothers and let Real Madrid play with us? ”
Morata shook his head like a rattle: "Coach Munirio won't agree, besides, the main players of the team have returned to the national team, and Real Madrid has few people left, so there is no team at all." ”
"What about Real Madrid's second team?"
"Isn't that bullying when you play the second team?"
"If we don't bully, can young players like us get a chance to play?"
Belch......
Morata was stunned for a while, this guy makes a lot of sense!
"Okay, I'll go back and discuss with the captain and see if they can come forward and apply to Lafayette."
Morata quickly approached Ramos and Casillas, the two big players in the team, and offered them a warm-up match.
Cassie and Ramos don't care about this, if they play against the second team, most of their main players will not play.
However, if you can give the young players in the team some opportunities to perform, then they are also willing to match.
So the two contacted Real Madrid president Florentino, and Lafayette agreed without even thinking about it.
On the side of the national team, Lin Quan made it clear to Barcelona captain Puyol and asked him to apply for a warm-up match with Bosque.
After listening to Puyol's words, Bosque thought for a while, and he recruited a lot of young forwards, and the key thing to look at was Lin Quan's state of play.
It's good to play a warm-up match, so that you can grasp the characteristics of the opponent more intuitively, and dare to use it boldly in the main game in the future.
So he nodded in agreement.
In this way, the warm-up match between the Spanish national team and the second team of Real Madrid was decided.
And Lin Quan and Morata also got the opportunity to play as they wished.
