Chapter 108: Free kick scored, unexpected change!

Bayern's response speed exceeded Lin Quan's expectations. He thought it would take some time to reach an agreement, but he didn't expect Bayern to give in so quickly.

"They agreed to a signing fee of €30m, and the annual salary remains at €6.5m, rising by 10% every year.

The image rights will be split equally between you and the club, with each holding 50%. Bayern's commercial department will help you with commercial promotion, and may arrange for you to carry out some commercial promotion activities with sponsors.

Bayern's current sponsors include Adidas, Deutsche Telekom, Volkswagen and Allianz Insurance.

If you sign with Bayern, these brands are likely to ask you to endorse or cooperate with them."

Lin Quan has not yet taken on any commercial collaborations such as endorsements and advertisements.

Before, no one approached him because he was not famous enough.

Now he doesn't want to take it because the price is too low and it's not cost-effective to take it.

Until he wins a championship trophy or honor that is influential enough, the value of his commercial cooperation will not be too high.

At this time, frequently accepting advertisements and endorsements will only waste one's influence and reduce one's commercial value.

He is not short of money for the time being, and he has no intention of ruining his reputation.

As for whether Bayern will accept the order, it depends on how much money the sponsor gives.

If the money offered is high and the sponsor has great influence, then he will have no problem cooperating with the other party during a period of mutual benefit and win-win.

If the sponsor's brand is not well-known enough and the money offered is low, he may choose to refuse.

All in all, Bayern's sincerity in this contract is quite good.

Lin Quan didn't plan to wait for a good price. He made a phone call and asked about Guardiola's contract with Bayern, then nodded in agreement.

Perez breathed a sigh of relief. After negotiating the transfer with Bayern, his agency was finally open for business.

The winter transfer window hasn't even started yet, but he can already secure at least 2 million euros in revenue.

The Bundesliga's winter break came quickly. On December 16, the Bundesliga held the last round of the first half of the season.

After this round of games, the Bundesliga teams will begin a 35-day winter break.

Because of the latitude, Germany's winters are relatively cold, so their winter break should be the longest among the five major leagues.

Compared with the Premier League without a winter break, it is definitely a blast.

Compared with La Liga and Serie A, which have shorter winter breaks, their winter break is 20 days longer! Even Ligue 1, which has the second longest winter break among the top five leagues, has five days less than theirs.

Considering that they only have 18 teams, 34 rounds of games, and even the cup competitions, there are not as many as in the Premier League.

Counting it every year, Bundesliga players play the fewest games and take the longest vacation time, so it can really be said that they are very happy.

No wonder many young players like to go here. Who can not love this place with high salary, long vacation, one game a week and no overtime? For players playing in the Bundesliga, they can take their families to the south for a long vacation in this winter, enjoying the beauty of sunshine and beaches, without having to endure the snow and cold in Germany.

Lin Quan also plans to return to Spain after playing a German Cup match.

The winter in Spain is much better than here in Germany. This is his first winter in Germany and he is a little bit uncomfortable with the climate here.

Although there is heating in Germany, you won't feel cold inside the house.

However, during outdoor training and competitions, there is no heating, and the low temperature will more or less bring some inconvenience.

If you play football or train in low temperatures and fail to move your body, you can easily strain yourself.

This is just Germany. If you go to higher latitudes in the north, such as Russia where it is already covered with ice and snow, to play football, you will probably be frozen silly!

In this round of the game, Werder Bremen continues to play against Nuremberg at home.

Nuremberg ranks 14th in the standings, but is 8 points ahead of the relegation zone, so it is relatively safe.

In this game they came to challenge Werder Bremen, who were ranked second in the standings, so naturally they didn't think they could win.

From the very beginning, they came here with the mentality of drawing and grabbing a point away from home.

Therefore, Nuremberg played very conservatively when playing away.

They deployed heavy troops in the midfield and backcourt, intending to maintain a draw.

They would be even happier if they could find an opportunity to counterattack and score a goal.

Werder Bremen thought this game would be an easy one, but shortly after the start of the first half, an unexpected change occurred.

The team's main striker Arnautovic was hit on the head by the goalkeeper while competing for a header in the penalty area and fell unconscious on the spot.

After the team doctor checked the injury, he determined that it was too serious to be handled by him, so he immediately contacted an ambulance and arranged for him to go to the hospital for examination and treatment.

Looking at their teammates being dragged away by the ambulance, the players of Werder Bremen were very worried.

The serious injuries of their teammates made it difficult for them to concentrate, and their minds were not on the game, so naturally they played in a mess.

At the 75th minute of the second half, neither team had managed to break through the other's goal and the score remained at 0:0. The fans at the scene could no longer sit still at this point, and they asked their friends who worked in the hospital about Arnautovic's injury.

While cheering for the team loudly, he hoped to awaken the players' fighting spirit and get them to perform at their best.

The cheers from the fans seemed to awaken the players' fighting spirit, and their performance finally began to recover.

In the 84th minute of the game, Werder Bremen had a great chance in the frontcourt.

De Bruyne broke free from the defender's mark and made a wonderful pass.

After receiving the ball, Lin Quan passed it horizontally to an empty space in the penalty area. Peterson, who came on as a substitute, moved forward tacitly, received the ball and shot.

His positioning was excellent for this ball, but the quality of his finishing shot was not high and the ball was saved by the goalkeeper.

Having missed the shot, Peterson fell to his knees, buried his head in the grass, and pounded it hard.

It seemed that even he himself could not accept the result of missing the goal!

Lin Quan walked up to him, pulled him up, and patted him on the shoulder:

"It's okay. Everyone misses opportunities sometimes. Just learn from your mistakes, sum up your experience, and try to seize the opportunity next time!"

Peterson nodded heavily, and looked at Lin Quan anxiously:

"Boss, will you still pass the ball to me? Yes, right..."

Seeing the other party's anxious look, Lin Quan smiled cunningly: "That depends on your performance next!"

Although Peterson's shot did not go in, it completely woke up the players of Werder Bremen.

Realizing that time was running out, they began to bombard Nuremberg's goal.

Free kick, header, long shot...

They tried all kinds of methods, but they just couldn't break the opponent's turtle shell.

Seeing that they were about to score a point, the Nuremberg players even gave up on attacking.

They all stayed within the 30-meter area of ​​their own home, determined to defend it to the end.

If they had held on for a few more minutes, they would have been able to draw with Werder Bremen away from home and snatch a point from the opponent.

Under the opponent's defensive posture, Werder Bremen's attack could hardly pose a threat.

In the 88th minute of the game, Lin Quan tried to dribble past the defense and break into the penalty area to look for a chance to shoot.

As a result, before he could enter the penalty area, the opponent's player knocked him down outside the penalty area.

After falling, Lin Quan did not lie on the grass. He immediately got up and discussed with De Bruyne how to take the free kick.

"Are you going to do it or should I?"

The game has reached the 88th minute and they don't have much time left.

De Bruyne thought about it and realized that his elevator ball would not be effective at this distance because the distance was not enough.

So he gave the chance to Lin Quan. Lin Quan has more free kick skills and might be able to seize this opportunity.

Seeing De Bruyne retreat, Lin Quan came to the football.

He glanced at the goalkeeper's position, then at the opponent's human wall, and began to slowly retreat.

Nuremberg's players are not very familiar with Lin Quan's free kick ability. Werder Bremen's free kicks are mainly taken by De Bruyne, and Lin Quan himself takes free kicks relatively rarely.

At this time, seeing Lin Quan retreating very far, they all thought that the opponent was going to make a powerful shot.

Thinking of this, the Nuremberg players who formed a human wall were ready to jump.

Although it would be very painful to be hit on the head by the opponent's powerful shot, if the opponent really scored this goal, all their efforts for the entire game would be in vain.

Lin Quan saw the expressions of the opposing players and had an idea in mind.

The referee's whistle sounded.

Lin Quan started to run quickly, his speed getting faster and faster. When he reached the football, he leaned back, swung his right leg high, and kicked the football hard.

I really want to hit a high ball!

Seeing the opponent kicking the ball, Nuremberg's players all jumped up at the same time, trying to block the ball.

However, just as they jumped, the football flew out, but not into the air, but stayed close to the ground and rolled under their feet.

What? It was a ground ball! It's over, we were tricked by that kid! The Nuremberg players who were still in the air were all horrified and subconsciously turned back to look at their own goal.

But the goalkeeper was a beat slow and didn't make the save until the ball rolled into the goal.

The goalkeeper also thought that the opponent was going to hit a high ball, but he didn't expect it to be a ground ball.

His ability to make the save was considered a quick reaction, and he really tried his best on this ball.

In the end, thanks to Lin Quan's direct free kick, Werder Bremen won 1-0 against Nuremberg at home and maintained their second place in the standings.

After the game, the players hurriedly thanked the fans who came to support them, then left the club in a hurry and rushed to the hospital.

They wanted to visit their injured teammates and share the joy of victory with him if Arnautovic woke up.
