Chapter 32: Enemies meet on a narrow road, and we really drew Bayern!
Sant Pedro, Catalonia.
Guardiola is discussing with his girlfriend Serra where to take wedding photos and where to hold the wedding.
Now that he had some free time, he wanted to make up for what he had done to his girlfriend over the years.
The two have been in love for more than 15 years. It would be unreasonable if they don't walk into the marriage hall hand in hand.
"This place is great, close to the beach and there's an old castle. I can invite friends and family to the wedding without being disturbed by reporters!"
"Well, let's set it here, but who are the relatives and friends you plan to invite?"
Serra looked at Guardiola with curiosity. She knew that he had many friends in the football world, but she didn't know whether he would invite these people.
"Let's keep it as low-key as possible, so don't invite too many people. I don't want our wedding to be disturbed by too many people!"
Guardiola thought about it and decided not to send out invitations widely, but only to invite those with whom he had the best relationship.
"Well, fine, you decide for yourself, but you have to tell Lin in advance. I'm worried that he won't be able to spare the time to come back and attend our wedding."
"I'll call him about this, so you don't have to worry!"
Guardiola said that Lin Quan had been in the Bundesliga for two months.
He has been busy on vacation and preparing for the wedding, and the Bundesliga has not started yet, so he hasn't paid much attention to the situation over there.
It's time to contact him, otherwise the child will think that his father doesn't care about him.
Thinking of this, Guardiola took out his mobile phone and prepared to call Lin Quan.
But at this moment, the cell phone rang and someone called.
Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, Guardiola frowned.
However, after seeing the caller ID indicating that the call was from Germany, Guardiola still answered the call.
…
Since accepting the invitation from the German Football Association, Werder Bremen has entered a state of intense preparation.
The four teams participating in the Deutsche Telekom Cup have all been confirmed. Except for Hamburg, the remaining two teams are stronger than Werder Bremen.
And it's not just a little bit stronger, but at least a level stronger.
Therefore, Coach Schaff very pragmatically prepared an iron bucket formation for these two teams, intending to use defensive counterattack tactics to deal with them.
In the defensive counterattack, Werder Bremen must seize the limited opportunities, otherwise, they will most likely lose.
To this end, Coach Scharf thought again and again and decided to put Lin Quan into the starting lineup, using his outstanding scoring ability to improve the team's counterattack power.
Of course, such a big thing needs to be discussed with the player himself. After all, Lin Quan is still young and has never started before.
"Lin, I'm going to put you in the starting lineup for the next game. Do you have any problems? I mean problems with your physical fitness!"
Coach Scharf spoke directly and did not beat around the bush.
Before, he might have been worried about Lin Quan's unstable mentality and lack of competition experience, but after observing him for so many days, he no longer has to worry about Lin Quan's problems in these aspects.
Now I only worry about one thing, and that is my physical fitness.
The age of sixteen or seventeen is the critical time for adolescent growth and the second peak of development.
Boys at this stage are generally thinner and their physical reserves are not as good as those of adults, so it is difficult for them to play the entire game.
If it was a regular 90-minute game, Scharf would not easily put Lin Quan into the starting lineup.
However, the Telecom Cup match is only 60 minutes long, with 30 minutes each in the first and second half, and a 15-minute break in between.
The pressure is not particularly great in terms of the players' physical fitness.
If Lin Quan himself thinks there is no problem, he can give it a try.
If Lin Quan himself has no confidence, then he can cancel this plan and replace him in the second half as usual.
After hearing what the head coach said, Lin Quan thought about it seriously.
He plays as a forward, and the team is executing an extreme defensive counterattack tactic, so he doesn't need to go too deep into defense, he just needs to exert his strength on the offensive end.
In this way, the test on his physical fitness will not be too great, and he should have no problem playing the whole game.
If that doesn't work, he can go to the system and spend one point to exchange for stamina potion.
Thinking of this, Lin Quan nodded solemnly:
"Don't worry, coach. Leave it to me!"
…
That evening, the draw for the Telecom Cup began.
Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.
Werder Bremen was unlucky to draw Bayern Munich, and this result made the players look disappointed.
"It would be great if we could draw a hamburger. If we draw a hamburger, we will have a good chance of advancing to the next round. That's good..."
Although Bayern Munich has not performed well in the Bundesliga in the past two seasons, the opponent's hard power is there. Whether it is the strength of the players or the depth of the bench, Werder Bremen cannot compare.
Fortunately, this is just a cup match, and it is the kind of cup match that is very prone to upsets, so Werder Bremen is not completely without any chance.
“The probability of winning Hamburger is too low. Hamburger and I were originally dragged in to accompany the prince in his studies.
The main characters of the Telecom Cup are Dortmund and Bayern Munich, so they will definitely not be arranged to fight against each other in the first round. Then the final will be boring, and the sponsors will definitely not be happy! ”
"That's right. In the first round, we should give these two teams a weak team to warm up. Then in the final, these two teams will present a tit-for-tat battle to the fans. That would be the ideal scenario!"
"Ahem, I agree that hamburgers are fish belly, but how come we have become fish belly? I don't agree with this statement!"
"Haha, we weren't even that many points higher than Hamburg last season, so it's not an exaggeration to say we're a weak team!"
"But we have Lin and Kevin this season, it's totally different from last season!"
…
Seeing the players talking and laughing and having fun, the coaching staff felt relieved.
They were quite worried that after the players knew their opponents, they would be intimidated by the opponent's strength and then become timid and perform poorly in the game.
Now it seems that they were worrying too much.
The players of Werder Bremen have kept a very positive mentality this season. They understand that they are just a relegation team, so when they meet a team like Bayern Dortmund, they have no psychological burden.
Because losing to the opponent is natural and there is nothing strange about it.
On the contrary, if there is an upset, you will make a lot of money!
Bayern Munich's players were also very happy after seeing the result of the draw.
"Haha, it looks like our first-round opponent is pretty good. They're not too strong, but not too weak either. They're perfect for warming up."
"I hope Dortmund won't be eliminated by Hamburg. If so, in the final, we can avenge last year's triple-killing!"
The players are ready to fight, wanting only revenge against Dortmund.
As for Werder Bremen? Who cares about such a rubbish team? (End of this chapter)
