Chapter 14 Boarding House
Klaus Fischer is an experienced veteran. He can see that Guardiola attaches great importance to Lin Quan and recognizes Lin Quan's strength.
He believed that Guardiola would not lie given his character.
Therefore, Lin Quan’s strength should be good, but good strength does not necessarily mean that he is suitable.
The main reason why Werder Bremen's results are not good is because they value offense.
Head coach Thomas Schaaf's 442 formation will have both full-backs assisting in the attack, and even the center backs will participate in the attack.
This resulted in them having too many players in the frontcourt and leaving the backcourt empty.
Once the enemy counterattacks, it is easy to break through their defense and create a one-on-one opportunity.
In the Bundesliga last season, Werder Bremen ranked first in the league in the number of one-on-one chances conceded.
This is not something to be praised! In order to solve this problem, Werder Bremen needs a strong midfielder who is especially good at defense and interception.
It would be best if he was like Makelele or Vieira, but of course this is impossible. Players of this level would never be able to join Werder Bremen.
So they had to search for suitable candidates among the young players of the top clubs and rent them out for use.
As a result, Barcelona gave them an organizing midfielder, which made Bremen a little unsure of what to do.
Now that they have loaned De Bruyne from Chelsea, the team's organizer is the attacking midfielder, and the defensive midfielder only needs to focus on defense and does not need to participate too much in the offense.
Therefore, Klaus and others felt that it might be difficult for Lin Quan to integrate into Werder Bremen's tactical system.
Therefore, he did not mention anything about Lin Quan's tactical position in the team, his playing time, and other matters related to the team's tactics after he joined Werder Bremen.
They just assured Guardiola that the club would take good care of Lin Quan, which made them feel at ease.
Small and medium-sized clubs like Werder Bremen, which are short of money, often need to rely on loaned players to carry the team. If they damage the team's reputation, no one will probably cooperate with them in the future.
So Guardiola still firmly believes in Klaus's guarantee.
So he discussed the issue of Lin Quan's accommodation arrangements with the club.
The club gave two options. The first was to let Lin Quan live with the club's young players.
The second was to place him in the home of a die-hard fan of the club.
Guardiola respected Lin Quan's choice and agreed to the second option.
So Klaus asked sports director Essien to drive them to a host family near the stadium.
The family consists of four people, a couple in their thirties.
The owner's name was William Victor, and he was a distributor for a local brewer.
The heroine's name is Anna Victor. She is a civil servant who works in the city hall.
This is a typical upper-middle-class family in Germany. The couple's combined annual income is around 100,000 euros, which is a good income and they have a certain social status.
The couple has a pair of lovely blond and blue-eyed children. Their daughter Angel is 12 years old this year, about the same age as Guardiola's eldest daughter. Their son Grenier is 10 years old this year and is still in elementary school.
This family of four are all die-hard fans of Werder Bremen. They almost never miss any home game of Werder Bremen, and the whole family goes out to watch it together.
The couple is about the same age as Guardiola, and Lin Quan is currently a player for Werder Bremen.
The two sides had a pleasant conversation as soon as they met, and Guardiola and Serra were very satisfied with this host family.
Before leaving, Guardiola enthusiastically gave Greinni a football signed by himself.
William's family gave Guardiola a barrel of his treasured pure grain beer.
In order to adapt to the team as quickly as possible, Lin Quan did not choose to go skiing in Switzerland with Guardiola and others, but chose to stay in Bremen and train in advance before the team started training.
There is a huge gap in intensity between youth team games and Bundesliga games. If he goes to play in the Bundesliga with the mentality of playing for the youth team, he will definitely be beaten to a pulp.
Therefore, he still has a lot of work to do before the league starts.
For example, improving physical reserves so that one has sufficient physical strength to adapt to the intensity of the Bundesliga games.
In addition, you must strengthen your body's ability to withstand attacks so that you won't fall down when someone touches you.
In addition, you need to watch the team's game videos from the past few seasons and study the team's technical and tactical play in order to better integrate into the team's tactical system.
Lin Quan was not very worried about the problem that Klaus was worried about.
Although he played as a defensive midfielder in the Barcelona youth team before, after replicating the attributes of peak Messi, he can play in many positions.
Including wingers, shadow strikers, attacking midfielders, and even center forwards.
Of course, there is no problem in going back to my old job and playing as an organizing midfielder.
After joining Paris Saint-Germain, the elderly Messi played the most as the core of the organization.
Therefore, his duties do not conflict with De Bruyne's, and the task of organizing and connecting can be completely handed over to De Bruyne.

And he plays the role of the final terminator.
If De Bruyne is specifically restricted by the opponent, he can also retreat to take over the task of organizing the attack and play as a double attacking midfielder.
Of course, all this is not up to him to decide. What he has to do is to prove to the head coach that he is capable of playing these positions.
The host family lives very close to the team's training base, less than 2 kilometers away.
He is not old enough to get a driver's license yet, and there is no need to drive for such a short distance.
So Lin Quan spent 200 euros to buy a bicycle as a means of transportation to and from get off work.
That night, Anna prepared a sumptuous meal at home to welcome Lin Quan.
"Lin, don't feel restrained here, just treat this place as your home!"
Anna smiled and poured Lin Quan a glass of juice. Because he was a minor, he couldn't drink alcohol yet.
Moreover, for professional players, drinking is also an inappropriate behavior that will affect their competitive state.
"Thank you, Mrs. Anna!"
Lin Quan thanked him politely and took the juice.
William poured himself a glass of beer and took over the conversation, "We at Werder Bremen have always been very tolerant of young players. The team captain Fritz is a very decent guy. With him around, you won't be bullied in the team."
At this point, William's eyes dimmed a little, and he sighed, "It's a pity that guy Wei Ze is gone."
The Wiese mentioned by William, whose full name is Tim Wiese, was the main goalkeeper of Werder Bremen last season.
He is known as the successor of the Lion King Kahn and is a rebellious but passionate goalkeeper.
Such a person can easily become the spiritual leader of a team, and Wiese plays such a role in Bremen.
Wiese has outstanding strength and has played for Werder Bremen for a long time. He has made great contributions to Werder Bremen and is therefore deeply loved by the fans.
His departure made many fans feel deeply regretful.
William realized that his emotions had affected everyone, so he stopped talking about this topic and raised his glass to wish Lin Quan: "Lin, I hope you can gain a firm foothold in the team soon and become our pride soon!"
