Chapter 119 Play well, the future is yours!

In the first half of the season, Dortmund struggled.

Halfway through the season, they only had 28 points, a full 12 points behind the top-ranked Bayern.

If they still want to win the championship this season, they cannot lose a single game from now on.

With the end of the Champions League group stage, after finishing first in the group and drawing the weaker Shakhtar Donetsk in the round of 16, Dortmund's pressure to advance to the quarterfinals has been greatly reduced.

Therefore, Klopp decided to focus on the league.

There is still a month left before the Champions League knockout stage starts, which is enough time for them to grab points in the league.

Werder Bremen, who had tied with them in the first half of the season and prevented them from getting off to a good start, causing the team's fluctuating performance, became their first target.

After arriving at the Weser Stadium, Dortmund played extremely unrestrainedly.

In this game, Werder Bremen finally felt the power of Klopp's mad dog tactics.

Dortmund, determined to avenge their defeat, had all its players run a total of 125 kilometers. If the goalkeeper is removed, it means that each player ran an average of 12 kilometers!

High pressure defense!

Quick attack! Teamwork!

All of this is reflected in Dortmund's superb running ability.

Werder Bremen was able to hold on in the first half, but was directly overwhelmed by the opponent in the second half.

At the end of the game, the score was 2:5, with the home team in front and the visiting team behind.

Dortmund scored three goals in the first half by Reus, Gotze and Lewandowski to secure their lead.

In the second half, Werder Bremen launched a counterattack through Lin Quan and De Bruyne, scoring two goals within 15 minutes, which gave people hope.

But Reus's solo goal dashed their hopes.

In injury time, Santana scored a follow-up shot in front of the goal, setting the score at 2:5.

Werder Bremen lost to Dortmund by a large margin at home, and suffered a black start in the first game of the second half of the season!

After losing the game, Lin Quan felt a little depressed.

This game is all about the difference in hard power. Dortmund can run, and if you can't keep up, you will be worn out by the opponent.

If Werder Bremen had met Dortmund in the middle of the season, they would not have been beaten so badly.

But after a whole winter break of recuperation, Dortmund is in peak form.

They have enough physical strength to support them running like crazy, and Werder Bremen has no way to deal with them.

After all, a crazy Dortmund team can beat Real Madrid by four goals in a game.

When they treated Werder Bremen with the same attitude as they did against Real Madrid, it would be strange if Werder Bremen did not lose.

"Lin, we are now even!"

After the game, Reus ran to Lin Quan and wanted to exchange jerseys with him.

In this game, Reus scored twice and led the team to a big victory, feeling extremely happy.

"Clear? I don't remember us winning at the Westfalenstadion!"

"Why not? Doesn't the Telecom Cup count?"

The corner of Lin Quan's mouth twitched slightly. This kid was indeed still thinking about the Telecom Cup competition.

Can a game of that nature be compared to a league?

"Humph, we'll remember this grudge and settle the score with you next time we go to Westfalen!"

Reus put his hand on his shoulder and asked curiously: "We have played two league games. Aren't you going to return to Barcelona next season? If you return to Barcelona, ​​we can probably only meet in the Champions League, and then we won't have many chances to play against each other."

"Who said I want to go back to Barcelona? Can't I stay in Werder Bremen?"

"Tsk, I don't believe that. With your worth, Werder Bremen probably can't even afford to pay you!"

Royce looked like he was saying, "I'm not well-educated, so stop lying to me."

Come to think of it, the highest salary in Werder Bremen is only over 2 million euros, and Lin Quan is now well-known in Europe.

The salary should be at least 6 or 7 million euros, right? Werder Bremen really can't afford such a salary.

"How about this, if you don't want to go back to Barcelona, ​​why don't you just come to Dortmund and play against Bayern together? How about that? Isn't it attractive?"

"Don't give me that. All the positions in Dortmund's front court are full. There is no place for me. Whose position can I take if I go to your side? Yours, Gotze's or Lewandowski's?"

"That's right!"

Royce scratched his head and finally gave up the idea.

"Besides, if I go to Dortmund, how can I seek revenge on you?"

Royce was stunned. This kid really holds a grudge! ...

After losing to Dortmund in the league, everyone at Werder Bremen was furious.

Coincidentally, the next game is the northern derby between Werder Bremen and Hamburg.

Now, there is no need for the head coach to motivate the players before the game. The players consciously put in their full fighting spirit and prepared to give the weakling Hamburg a good beating.

Hamburg itself is mediocre, with neither good nor bad results, no big-name players, no worries about relegation, and no hope of winning the championship. It can be said that it is a team with no desires or aspirations.

However, the presence of a Korean player in Hamburg makes this game more interesting.

At the pre-match press conference, a Korean reporter asked Schaff what he thought of Hamburg's No. 40 player.

Schaff had heard that a good young winger had emerged from Hamburg's youth training system and that the opponent had performed well this season, scoring 6 goals in half a season.

This performance is very good among 20-year-old young players, but compared with Lin Quan and De Bruyne of his own team, it still feels far behind.

Alas, what can I do? My vision has been spoiled by these two monsters in the team, but they are not players of Werder Bremen. This is very tragic.

Thinking of this, he praised: "Sun is a player with great potential. I am optimistic about his future."

When the Korean reporters heard Scharf's praise, they puffed out their chests with pride.

Then he asked, "So who do you think has greater potential, Sun or Lin Quan?"

Schaff was stunned for a moment, and looked at the reporter in surprise: Are you serious? Looking at the other person's expression, he felt that the other person didn't seem to be joking.

So he said seriously:

"I don't think we need to discuss this, right? Lin's talent is so high that I have never seen anyone stronger than him at his age."

Reporters at the scene nodded one after another. Scoring 25 goals in half a season, such a young player can only be described as a monster.

The Korean reporter said unconvincedly: "You are biased. Our Sun is no worse than Lin Quan. As long as he is given enough playing time and tactical position, I believe he will be able to achieve better results than Lin Quan!"

The corner of Shaf's mouth twitched slightly, and he wondered where this fool came from.

Didn’t Lin Quan earn his position in the team through competition?

If your Son Heung-min really has this ability, why doesn't Hamburg give him such a tactical position? Is it because Hamburg's coach has no vision?

Schaff turned his head to look at Hamburg's head coach Fink, who looked a little unhappy.

He felt that the Korean reporter was attacking his tactical arrangements and personnel habits, which was a challenge to his authority.

So, as the head coach of the Hamburg team, he actually started praising Lin Quan harshly, praising him to the point of being disgusting.

Schaff on the side even suspected that the old guy was targeting his players, otherwise how could he say such disgusting words.

What a once-in-a-century talent, what a reincarnation of the king of football.

This old guy Fink is really bold!

The Korean reporters are outrageous, but Son Heung-min himself is very sensible.

When the game started, the two teams met in the player tunnel.

He took the initiative to run to Lin Quan and apologize to him.

Lin Quan had no idea what happened at the press conference and was confused by Son Heung-min's apology.

So he had to encourage the other party: "Kick well! I'm rooting for you!"

The 20-year-old Son Heung-min was encouraged in this way by the 17-year-old Lin Quan.

This kind of thing seems a bit weird no matter how you look at it, but Son Heung-min's heart is extremely excited: Brother Lin actually knows me!

Still optimistic about me!

He felt flattered and excited, and wanted to rush to the field immediately to show Lin Quan everything he knew! ...

After the start of the game, Son Heung-min was very active on the left and successfully created threats several times with the ball.

This made the Korean fans cheering on the sidelines extremely excited: "Ahhh, our Son Heung-min is so good, the Werder Bremen players can't defend him at all!"

"As expected of the No. 1 player in Asia, well done to Son Heung-min!"

"The Bundesliga stage is too small. Son Heung-min will bury his talent if he stays here. He should land in the Premier League or La Liga. Only such top leagues are worthy of him!"

Korean fans began to become inflated as usual. They directly ignored the number one Asian player Shinji Kagawa and put the blame on Son Heung-min.

Son Heung-min has good potential, but in 2013, he was obviously not as good as Shinji Kagawa.

However, after Park Ji-sung left Manchester United, the title of Asia's number one player was taken away by the Japanese.

This made the Koreans very unhappy. After finally having a young player with potential emerge, they naturally gave him all kinds of praise.

Hamburg played really well after the opening, especially Son Heung-min was very active.

After Lin Quan noticed this, he reduced the number of times he went to the middle and began to focus on attacking from the sides.

His huge threat made the entire Hamburg team very wary.

Seeing him dribbling the ball on the wing, Son Heung-min did not dare to continue attacking and could only choose to retreat.

Lin Quan is the right winger and Son Heung-min is the left winger, and they are on the same side.

So, in the 9th minute of the game, the scene that Koreans had been looking forward to - the head-on confrontation between Lin Quan and Son Heung-min - came.

Son Heung-min has good offensive ability but average defensive ability.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

Facing Lin Quan's breakthrough, he was very careful.

Lin Quan saw that his opponent lacked defensive experience, so he deliberately exposed a flaw and placed his center of gravity on his right foot.

Son Heung-min was fooled as expected. Seeing that Lin Quan's center of gravity had changed, he chose to kick without any doubt.

But the moment he kicked the ball, the football disappeared from his sight.

Lin Quan's center of gravity changed again, he easily passed him and headed towards Hamburg's half.

Ah, it was passed!

Seeing Son Heung-min lose in the direct confrontation with Lim Quan, the Korean fans who were cheering loudly on the sidelines were very disappointed and their morale was a little wilted.

"Don't be discouraged. Our Son Heung-min is good at attacking, not a full-time defensive player. The opponent's breakthrough ability is a bit strong, so it's normal that we can't defend against him!"

"That's right, what's so good about defense? Let's see Son Heung-min attack later, and the opponent won't be able to defend him either!"

So, the Korean fans were revived and continued to cheer loudly for the players they supported.

Son Heung-min was suppressed, causing Hamburg's attack on the left to lose its threat.

In just ten minutes, Lin Quan completed three breakthroughs on his side and assisted his teammate to score a goal.

This made Son Heung-min feel very frustrated. Even though he was very careful, he still doubted his life.

The gap between me and Lin Quan is really huge! Seeing Lin Quan celebrating the goal with his teammates, Son Heung-min felt very bitter.

However, when he heard the cheers from his hometown fans on the sidelines, his fighting spirit was rekindled: I can't let down the fans who have come from afar. Defense is not my strong point, offense is!

After the restart, Son Heung-min got the ball again.

He rushed along the wing, determined to help his teammates score a goal and equalize the score.

As a result, just after halftime, Lin Quan appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

"Here it comes! Lin Quan is going to be tortured!"

On the sidelines, Korean fans became excited when they saw Lin Quan running to defend Son Heung-min.

"Haha, I've seen this guy's games, his defensive ability is just rubbish, he definitely can't stop our Son Heung-min!"

Korean fans are full of confidence and think that with Son Heung-min's ability, it would be a piece of cake to pass a player whose defensive ability is almost non-existent?

Son Heung-min himself thinks so too: Senior Lin Quan has strong offensive ability, but his defensive ability has always been his weakness.

He came to defend himself mostly to buy time for his teammates.

I can't be held back by him, I have to get past him as quickly as possible.

Thinking of this, Son Heung-min flicked the ball with his left foot, preparing to overtake at high speed from the sideline.

When Lin Quan saw his move, he did not kick rashly, but immediately chose to block the opponent's position, and failed to pass the ball, preventing Son Heung-min from overtaking.

Son Heung-min had just made a move and was about to break through, but he didn't expect the opponent to react so quickly.

He had no time to adjust himself and collided head-on with Lin Quan.

There is a 10 cm height difference between the two men, and Son Heung-min took the initiative to bump into the other person.

Logically, it should have been him who knocked down Lin Quan, but what was surprising was that it was Son Heung-min himself who was knocked down.

Lin Quan was only knocked back a step, but did not fall to the ground.

The fans at Hamburg's home stadium were in an uproar. They couldn't understand why their winger lost in the physical confrontation.

Obviously, it seems that their winger has more advantages! How could they know that although Lin Quan is not as tall as Son Heung-min, his weight is similar to Son Heung-min.

His short height means a low center of gravity. In addition, he learned some defensive skills from Guardiola and used his body very reasonably, which gave him an advantage in physical confrontations.

Lin Quan's weight is almost catching up with Messi's. Messi's ability in physical confrontation is not weak, otherwise he would not have been able to score so many goals and complete so many wonderful dribbles.

But his current weight is enough and he can't gain any more weight.

Adding more weight would put tremendous pressure on his ankles and knees, and would also reduce his agility and affect his speed.

Seeing Son Heung-min being knocked down, Korean fans in the audience protested loudly.

They thought Lin Quan must have used a foul, otherwise how could he have stopped his own Son Heung-min? "This kid is so despicable!"

"Yes, his style of play is too dirty!"

"Our Son Heung-min is too naive. If I were on the field, I would definitely give that guy an elbow to let him know how powerful I am!"

Although the big screen at the scene showed the replay of the defense just now, Lin Quan's defensive action was very clean and there was no foul.

But the Koreans turned a blind eye to this and remained stubborn.

Ten minutes later, Son Heung-min dribbled the ball from the wing again, and Lin Quan met him for the second time.

"Here we go, our Son Heung-min will definitely be able to easily get past that guy this time!"

Korean fans became excited again, but their excitement faded halfway.

After learning from the previous lesson, this time when Son Heung-min met Lin Quan, he did not choose to slow down, but suddenly accelerated, leaving no time for the opponent to block.

His speed has always been his trump card. As long as he uses this trump card well, he doesn't believe that the other party can stop him?

But Lin Quan really did it!

When Lin Quan saw Son Heung-min preparing to dribble the ball, he judged the opponent's intention. He decisively turned around in advance and took the ball away before his opponent. After receiving the ball, he immediately sent a straight pass to De Bruyne in the frontcourt.

De Bruyne made a beautiful over-the-top pass, assisting Arnautovic who had just returned from injury, allowing the latter to score with a header.

The score became 2:0, and Werder Bremen had basically secured the victory.

After two consecutive defeats, Son Heung-min's self-confidence was dealt a heavy blow.

The Korean fans on the sidelines were also completely disappointed.

This time, Lin Quan didn't even touch the corner of Son Heung-min's clothes when defending. Even though they had thick skin like a wall, they were too embarrassed to say that Lin Quan had committed a foul.

These few rounds of confrontation are enough to prove that Lin Quan and Son Heung-min are not players of the same level.

Son Heung-min was unable to defend or break through, and was at a disadvantage on both offense and defense, and was completely suppressed by Lin Quan.

Among the tens of thousands of fans at the scene, only Koreans probably think that Son Heung-min is better than Lim Jeon! In the end, Werder Bremen defeated Hamburg 3-0 away from home, and this season's Northern Derby ended with Werder Bremen's complete victory.

After the game, Son Heung-min was in a low mood, seemingly hit hard by the game.

Just as he lowered his head and prepared to leave, a green figure appeared in front of him.

"Let's exchange jerseys, okay?"

Lin Quan smiled and told Son Heung-min that he didn't have a good impression of Korean fans.

But we will not vent our anger on the players because Son Heung-min has excellent character and ability, which makes him different from ordinary Korean players.

He doesn't hate people like this.

"Senior Lin, I..."

When Son Heung-min heard that Lin Quan wanted to exchange jerseys with him, he quickly took off his jersey.

But he felt a little embarrassed in his heart, thinking that his performance in this game was so bad that he was not worthy of exchanging jerseys with Senior Lin Quan.

"Come on, play well, I'm rooting for you!"

Lin Quan repeated what he had said to him in the player tunnel.

After saying this, he seemed to remember Duncan's famous saying, so he patted the other person on the shoulder and added: "The future is yours!"

Son Heung-min was greatly encouraged and nodded heavily. He was very excited when he saw Lin Quan leaving.

Senior Lin Quan is so optimistic about me and said that the future is mine! Hehe, just thinking about it makes me a little excited! Wait, how old is Senior Lin Quan this year? Sun Xingmin suddenly thought of the other party's age, and then he was messy in the wind...
