Chapter 327 Lin Quan comes forward and solves the problem easily! Take Van Dijk away for 10 million euros!

"Hey, Lin, did you have a good vacation?"

"Thank God, Lin, you are finally back!"

"I knew you wouldn't leave Manchester City. Those reporters outside are just hyping things up!"

Lin Quan had just returned to Manchester City. Everyone he met along the way, from the doorman to the club staff, came forward to greet him enthusiastically after seeing him.

But their relieved attitude made Lin Quan feel very strange. Didn't he declare that he would not leave Manchester City a long time ago? Why were they still so nervous? He didn't waste time guessing, but went directly to Pellegrini's office to inquire about the information.

When Pellegrini saw Lin Quan, he breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge stone in his heart had fallen to the ground.

As long as Lin Quan doesn't leave, everything else is trivial.

"It's not a big deal actually. Some wealthy clubs have taken a fancy to some of our players and want to poach them!"

Pellegrini then introduced the poaching of Kroos, De Bruyne and others.

"Kroos is going to Real Madrid?"

Lin Quan was a little surprised when he heard the transfer rumors about Kroos.

Kroos has only been at Manchester City for half a year, but during this time he has gained both fame and fortune.

Not only did he receive a high salary, but he also received various honors.

It is really hard to understand why he would leave under such circumstances.

Is Real Madrid so attractive? "It's not confirmed, but some paparazzi took photos of a private meeting between the Real Madrid president and Kroos' agent."

"And there were rumors before that Real Madrid was very interested in Dortmund's star Reus..."

"Reus can't leave Dortmund!"

Lin Quan denied Pellegrini's speculation. Based on his understanding of Reus, when the team needed him most, Reus would never abandon Dortmund like Gotze and Lewandowski.

"I'll call Cross and ask!"

Seeing that Lin Quan was so sure, Pellegrini's expression became serious.

Although he thinks the possibility of Kroos leaving Manchester City is not high, he cannot rule out this possibility.

At this time, we must get things clear immediately.

Otherwise, when the new season starts, if the team's midfield general suddenly announces his transfer, Manchester City won't even have the chance to recruit new players to remedy the situation!

When Pellegrini called, Kroos was hesitating whether to go to Real Madrid.

Seeing Pellegrini's call, Kroos hesitated for a few seconds and finally chose to answer it.

"Coach, is there anything you can do for me?"

"Well, Lin has returned to the team. When will you come back?"

Pellegrini did not directly ask Kroos whether he had any private contact with Real Madrid.

This kind of question is too direct, the other party may not admit it, and it may even irritate the other party, which will backfire.

"Is Lin back yet?"

When Kroos heard Pellegrini's words, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The reason why he was hesitant was because Walker brought back an insider information: Real Madrid was ready to spend a huge amount of money to bring Lin Quan to the Bernabeu! A big part of the reason why Kroos stayed in Manchester City was because of Lin Quan. With Lin Quan, Manchester City's performance was guaranteed.

But if Lin Quan leaves Manchester City, there would be no point in him staying.

"Yes, he has finished his vacation and returned to the team to prepare for pre-season training!"

After receiving a positive response from Pellegrini, Kroos immediately stated:

"I'll pack my things and leave tomorrow!"

After hanging up the phone, Pellegrini breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, Kroos going to Real Madrid was just a rumor. If he really wanted to go to Real Madrid, he would not be convinced so easily by himself.

But if you think about it carefully, this might be true.

As for why Kroos' attitude changed, it was probably because Lin Quan's early return to the team gave him a reassurance! Just like the indescribable feeling of relief deep in his heart when he saw Lin Quan at the club!

…

After learning that Lin Quan had returned to the team, Kroos was not the only one who changed his mind.

Demichelis, who was preparing to return to Argentina to retire, agreed to renew his contract with the club and play for another year after being persuaded by Lin Quan.

However, the attitude of another main central defender Lescott was more resolute. He was determined to leave Manchester City and join West Bromwich Albion.

In addition, Pantilimon was also released by Pellegrini and joined the Black Cats Sunderland for zero transfer fee.

Many people left Manchester City this summer.

But quite a few people came!

During the training camp for the new season, a tall young player appeared on the sidelines of Manchester City's training ground.

After assistant coach Brian brought the player to the training ground, he found head coach Pellegrini and said to him: "Coach, the player is here. Do you want to arrange for him to go for a trial?"

Pellegrini glanced at the tall, dark-skinned young player not far away, nodded, and said, "Let him put on a red vest and go to the substitute team!"

The assistant coach immediately stopped the ongoing team training match and replaced Manchester City's young defender Plummer from the youth training camp with the new defender.

"Who is this person?"

"I don't know him. He should be here for a tryout, right?"

"He looks quite strong, but he's probably very slow to turn around at such a height."

On the main team side, several main players from last season saw the newcomers and couldn't help but start a discussion.

"Kevin, pass me a good ball later, I'll test his strength!"

Aguero was eager to try and planned to test the newcomer's strength personally.

After all, Manchester City is now considered a semi-rich club, and we can't just stuff anyone into the team! If this newcomer is average, it's better to send him away early, so as not to become a time bomb in the defense line in the future.

Hearing Aguero's words, De Bruyne nodded expressionlessly.

However, after he nodded, he subconsciously looked at Lin Quan, only to find that this guy had an ambiguous smile on the corner of his mouth.

What is he laughing at? Lin Quan noticed Van Dijk when he appeared on the sidelines.

This is the future number one defender in football, a monster worth 75 million pounds!

However, Van Dijk is still very young and his strength has probably not reached the level of his peak period.

So when Aguero proposed to weigh the opponent, Lin Quan did not speak to stop him.

Because he is also very curious about what level Van Dijk is at now.

The game started again soon, and soon De Bruyne seized the opportunity and completed a pass with Aguero.

Aguero had just received a pass from De Bruyne when the young defender, who had only been on the pitch for less than five minutes, appeared in front of him.

Haha, the defense is active, but I don’t know how strong it is!

Aguero did not show mercy just because the opponent was a newcomer. After receiving the pass from his teammate, he used his explosive power to speed up, as if he was planning to eat Van Dijk alive.

However, this move quickly failed.

Van Dijk retreated in time, maintained a reasonable distance, and used precise positioning to prevent Aguero from overtaking on the curve.

When one plan failed, Aguero immediately came up with another one.

He used his signature quick stop and go, taking advantage of changes in rhythm to gain space and opportunity for a breakthrough.

But this move failed, Van Dijk kept backing away and refused to kick.

Damn it, why are you retreating? I've already dribbled into the penalty area, aren't you afraid that I'll shoot?

Aguero finally had to force the shot before Van Dijk's teammates came up to press.

Van Dijk blocked a large area, and without a very good shooting angle, the result of Aguero's shot can be imagined.

After completing the shot, Aguero glanced at the big guy opposite.

He had never seen such a strange defender, who only knew how to retreat and not try to steal the ball at all! This defensive strategy of the opponent made Aguero very uncomfortable.

He seemed to have martial arts skills but couldn't use them, which made him feel very frustrated.

After defending Aguero, Van Dijk couldn't help but wipe away a cold sweat.

The opponent's footwork was too fast and his explosive power was too strong, and he almost couldn't keep up with the opponent's rhythm.

If the opponent's receiving position was not close to the penalty area, without much room for speed, Van Dijk might not be able to defend him! Is this the strength of Manchester City 's main players? It does seem to be stronger than his teammates in Celtic!

Pellegrini was not very optimistic about Van Dijk's ability. The strength of the substitute team was limited, and there was no tacit understanding between him and his teammates.

It is simply impossible to expect him to defend Aguero one-on-one.

However, after watching the first match between the two, Pellegrini's opinion changed.

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

"Yeah, he has a high basketball IQ. He knows that his tackling and intercepting are his weaknesses, so he doesn't kick easily!"

"The retreat defense strategy can effectively suppress the offensive space of the ball holder, reduce the offensive threat of the opponent, and even affect the opponent's mentality?"

Pellegrini did not jump to conclusions and planned to continue observing.

This was just a confrontation. Maybe this kid was just lucky? Aguero was a little unconvinced and tried a few more times.

In these few encounters, he won less and lost more, and even the behind-the-back ball, which they had discussed before and agreed was the opponent's weakness, he didn't gain any advantage.

Van Dijk's turning speed is indeed not fast, but his positioning ability and physical confrontation ability are very strong.

The ball can go through, but the person has to stay.

Aguero tried several times but failed!

"This idea is a bit tricky. This guy is not easy to deal with!"

In the end, Aguero had to admit that he was defeated.

Although his current condition has not recovered to the best, Aguero feels that even if he recovers to his prime, it will not be easy to succeed five out of ten times when facing this guy! "So strong? Did you hang out too much during the offseason and your body is weak?"

His teammates cast suspicious looks at Aguero, thinking that he lost to his opponent because of his poor form.

After all, how could an unknown young defender single-handedly defend the main striker of the Champions League champion?

This kind of thing is rare in the Champions League and the league! If the opponent is really so strong, they would not have never heard of the opponent's name.

"Fuck, what I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself!"

Aguero said angrily.

His teammates were skeptical about what he said, so they all stepped forward to test it out themselves.

The result is naturally self-evident. Among those who took the initiative to challenge Van Dijk, only a few succeeded, and the vast majority failed.

“It’s really hard to deal with!”

"I've never seen such a defensive method before!"

The main players were amazed. The opponent's defensive method was really weird.

"This guy's defensive style won't work if he encounters a player with strong dribbling ability, fast footwork and strong explosive power!"

Having said this, everyone's eyes turned to Lin Quan.

Doesn't he meet these conditions perfectly? Lin Quan watched the fire from the sidelines for a long time, and he carefully observed Van Dijk's defensive strategy.

The opponent's defensive style is not much different from that of his peak period, but the difference in experience is obvious.

When facing Van Dijk in his prime, Lin Quan’s chances of success were not very high, and he might only succeed five or six times out of ten.

But when he met Van Dijk at this time, he felt that he still had a good chance of winning.

So, in the next attack, Lin Quan appeared opposite Van Dijk.

With his performance just now, Van Dijk has successfully attracted the attention of Manchester City coaching staff.

Everyone, including Pellegrini, was very surprised at the strength of this newcomer.

The fact that so many main players couldn't take advantage of him is enough to show his strength.

At this time, seeing the team's top star facing off against this newcomer, everyone perked up and couldn't help but look forward to it.

Can this newcomer defend Lin Quan? Seeing Lin Quan coming out, Van Dijk's pupils shrank and his inner vigilance was raised to the extreme.

As one of the most famous players on the planet today, everyone in the football world knows Lin Quan!

Moreover, he is even more famous among the guards! Because in the guard world, everyone agrees that Lin Quan is the best defensive player on the planet!

Originally this position belonged to Messi, but after Messi was injured and his explosiveness decreased, this position was replaced by Lin Quan.

Van Dijk had naturally heard of Lin Quan's great name, and had also fantasized about successfully freezing his opponent on the field and becoming famous with one goal! However, when Lin Quan really appeared in front of him, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

Can I really defend against the opponent?

Five minutes later, Van Dijk slumped down on the grass, gasping for breath, his eyes fixed on the scoreboard on the long side.

The score on the scoreboard had already become 3:0. Lin Quan scored three goals in just five minutes, and all of them were achieved through breakthroughs from him.

It's impossible to defend it. It's impossible to defend it at all! Recalling the process of the two sides' confrontation, Van Dijk's face was full of bitterness.

The opponent's feet are too fast, his dribbling ability is extremely terrifying, and he is very good at using feints and changes in rhythm to pass through opponents.

Van Dijk's retreating defense not only had no effect in front of the opponent, but instead became a shield for the opponent to break into the penalty area and then score.

Originally, the farther the ball holder is from the defensive player, the greater the threat he poses. However, with Lin Quan, the situation is completely reversed.

Van Dijk feels that the closer the opponent is to him, the harder it is to defend!

Seeing Van Dijk's frustrated look, Lin Quan took the initiative to walk over, stretched out his hand to pull him up, and encouraged him: "Well played, keep up the hard work!"

With Lin Quan's encouragement, the haze in Van Dijk's heart was immediately swept away.

He is still an unknown player now, but the opponent is already a world-famous talented player.

Being recognized by the other party is a huge encouragement for Van Dijk!

"Well, I will work hard!"

…

Although Van Dijk lost to Lin Quan without any suspense in the contest, Manchester City's coaching staff's evaluation of him has increased instead of decreased.

After all, in the eyes of the Manchester City coaching staff, the person who can defend Lin Quan alone has not been born yet! If Van Dijk could do this, he would not be playing in a league of the Scottish Premier League level. I am afraid he would have been poached by top giants such as Real Madrid and Manchester City! "How about buying it?"

Brian asked tentatively.

Pellegrini nodded. The other party is only 23 years old and already has such strength.

Keep him and train him intensively. After he grows up, Manchester City won’t have to worry about having no one available in the defense line for at least ten years!

"Well, we can make an offer to the Celtics. By the way, how much is the asking price?"

"It shouldn't be very high, within 10 million euros, it should be done!"

Van Dijk only transferred to Celtic last year, and the transfer price was only 3 million euros.

If Manchester City offers 10 million, the Celtics will naturally be happy to make a profit.

"Then offer 10 million and solve it as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble!"
