Chapter 16: First encounter with De Bruyne

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye a month has passed.

At the end of June, the team training day is getting closer.

Werder Bremen's training camp for the new season will start on July 3. Before that, the players will rush to the team from all over the place.

The first one to arrive must be Lin Quan himself. After all, he had been training alone in the base for more than a month.

Through this period of training, he has fully adapted to the various abilities of peak Messi.

In the future, when you use Boss Mei’s various special skills, you won’t be so awkward.

Not only that, his height increased by one centimeter to 173 cm.

My weight also increased from 65 kg to 67 kg.

The increase in height and weight made his originally thin body look a bit stronger.

The ability of physical confrontation has also improved, and the ability to hold the ball has become stronger.

Swish! With a crisp sound, the football drew a beautiful arc, flew high over the wall of people, then fell rapidly and went into the goal from the upper left corner.

That day, he arrived at the training ground early, but found that someone had arrived earlier than him.

This is a young player who is about 1.8 meters tall and has golden hair.

The opponent did not notice Lin Quan's arrival and continued shooting.

Lin Quan watched from the sidelines and discovered that the opponent was practicing free kicks.

However, it would be more accurate to say that he was venting his anger rather than practicing.

The way he kicked the ball was as if the ball had a grudge against him.

However, even with such great force, the ball can still fly accurately into the goal frame from the blind corner of the goal.

I have to say, this guy's footwork is outstanding.

Seeing this, he had already guessed the identity of this person.

This should be the player on loan from Chelsea - Kevin De Bruyne.

Papapapa! Lin Quan applauded the opponent's wonderful footwork.

Hearing the applause, De Bruyne stopped and looked back at him.

Seeing that the other person was wearing the same team uniform as himself, he nodded to Lin Quan as a greeting.

After saying hello, he continued to concentrate on training and had no intention of greeting Lin Quan.

Lin Quan knew that De Bruyne was a taciturn and introverted player, so he didn't care much about his behavior.

If he saw him and came to greet him enthusiastically, he would suspect that there was something wrong with De Bruyne!

He had no intention of disturbing De Bruyne's training, so he went to the equipment room to take out the training equipment, selected a new venue to set up the training facilities, and started practicing alone.

After practicing for about half an hour, Lin Quan realized that someone seemed to be watching him.

So he looked towards the sidelines and found that De Bruyne had stopped training at some point and was standing on the sidelines watching him practice.

Seeing Lin Quan looking at him, De Bruyne blushed and quickly turned his head away.

He felt like he had been caught doing something bad, and he was actually a little embarrassed.

"What's up?"

Seeing that this guy actually blushed, Lin Quan couldn't help laughing.

I've always heard people say that Ding Ding is very shy, but I didn't expect he is this shy.

"Ahem, no, nothing happened!"

De Bruyne said this a little embarrassedly, and it seemed like he mustered up a lot of courage and it was very difficult to say this.

It was not easy to get him to say eight full words! Seeing that the other party had nothing to say, Lin Quan simply ignored him and continued training.

However, when he continued his training, De Bruyne still stood on the sidelines and did not leave.

Therefore, Lin Quan had to stop again and repeat the question:

"Are you sure everything is alright?"

De Bruyne couldn't say that everything was fine. After all, if he was really fine, he wouldn't be standing here and not leaving.

"Hello, my name is Kevin De Bruyne, nice to meet you, are you practicing your breakthrough?"

Lin Quan walked over, stretched out his hand, and shook hands with De Bruyne in a friendly manner.

"Hello, my name is Lin Quan. As you can see, I am indeed practicing breakthrough techniques. How about it, are you interested in practicing with me?"

De Bruyne plays in the frontcourt, a position that requires certain dribbling and passing skills, which is very helpful for them to get rid of defensive players and find more suitable passing routes.

At the age of 21, De Bruyne was not as technically sophisticated and skilled as he is today. His style of play was free and unrestrained, and his technique was a bit rough, which did not quite meet Chelsea's requirements.

Therefore, he couldn't find a place in Chelsea and was forced to leave the team on loan and come to the Bundesliga to train.

The marketing of Bundesliga teams, especially ordinary teams, is not very good and the clubs' income is not high.

Although it has the top football market in Europe, it is far behind the Premier League and La Liga in terms of commercial development.

In order to control costs, the salary expenditures of the middle and lower-level teams in the Bundesliga are generally not high, and they are also relatively conservative in recruiting players.

This gives young players the opportunity to find their own stage here.

For De Bruyne, playing in the Bundesliga is definitely better than sitting on the bench at Chelsea.

After experiencing the pain of joining a wealthy club and then being exiled by it, De Bruyne became increasingly dissatisfied with his own abilities.

He urgently hopes to improve his own strength as soon as possible and prove his ability on the field as soon as possible.

Let those bastards at Chelsea see that it’s not that he is incompetent, but that Chelsea doesn’t give him a chance.

Therefore, he gladly accepted Lin Quan's invitation.

Lin Quan didn't know what De Bruyne was thinking. He invited him to train together just because he wanted to find a sparring partner so that he could become more familiar with Messi's various breakthrough skills in actual confrontation.

So the two of them hit it off immediately and started practicing against each other enthusiastically.

"Will you go first or should I?"

Lin Quan held the ball, looked at De Bruyne with a smile and said to him.

De Bruyne saw the football at Lin Quan's feet, so he lowered his center of gravity slightly, stood in front of the core area at the top of the penalty area, and took a defensive stance.

De Bruyne's defensive ability is not particularly outstanding, but he still knows the basic defensive techniques.

However, when the defensive players face the offensive players one-on-one, they are in a passive position and the offensive team has at least two breakthrough routes to choose from.

Therefore, they could only choose to block the route that posed the greatest threat and force the opponent to go to the other side.

De Bruyne chose to block the inside and leave the outside, which is the wing, to Lin Quan. This is the choice of most defenders when facing a breakthrough on the wing.

De Bruyne's idea was to give Lin Quan the opportunity to overtake on the wing, but when the opponent broke through vertically, he was unable to pass the ball and used physical confrontation to disrupt his rhythm and pace, causing him to lose the ball.

There is nothing wrong with this strategy, but the problem is that Lin Quan will not cooperate with him obediently.

He was seen moving the ball vertically and observing De Bruyne's footsteps.

De Bruyne kept his focus on his back foot, turning sideways and ready to chase back.

Suddenly, Lin Quan leaned forward and tried to dribble the ball. De Bruyne saw that the opponent's center of gravity had changed, and without any suspicion, he immediately took a step back.

As a result, Lin Quan suddenly pulled the ball to the right and completed the breakthrough over De Bruyne with a simple swing of his body.

De Bruyne stood there in a daze. This way of passing the ball was too easy, as easy as eating and drinking.

But the question is, how come he was defeated like a wooden stake when the opponent had such a simple method? (End of this chapter)
