Chapter 37: Breaking two records, Neuer becomes a background board (birthday extra update!)
Lin Quan's goal greatly boosted the morale of Werder Bremen.
After he scored the goal, almost all the players, including goalkeeper Milic, ran over to join in the celebration.
"Well done, Lin!"
"Just do them like this!"
The team members either gave him a hug, touched his head, or patted his back, expressing their congratulations and encouragement in various ways.
Captain Fritz gave Lin Quan a hug, patted him hard on the back, and said to him, "Keep up the good work and try to beat them more!"
De Bruyne on the side also joined in the fun and said: "I will pass the ball to you, as long as you run into the open space!"
Goalkeeper Milic said: "How about I just kick the ball to you from the backcourt, that way you can bypass the opponent's midfield and frontcourt!"
Lin Quan pointed to his own height and said helplessly:
"Sebastian, I appreciate your kindness, but if you kick the ball to me, I may not be able to get the ball. Isn't it a bit too difficult for someone of my height to compete for a header?"
When his teammates heard what Lin Quan said, they looked at the height difference between him and goalkeeper Milic and burst into laughter.
"It's a bit difficult. How about this, let Arnautovic pass the ball to you?"
Lin Quan subconsciously looked at the tall man next to him. Arnautovic is 192cm tall and has excellent heading ability. It would be a good choice to let him compete for the header.
But would he agree to let the team's main center play a supporting role? "No problem, leave it to me!"
Who knew that Arnautovic agreed without saying a word.
It seems that Austrians just look fierce, but they are actually very easy to talk to.
…
Neuer put his hands on his hips and looked at Lin Quan who was surrounded by his teammates with an angry expression.
The opponent scored in his debut, breaking the records of the youngest starter and the youngest goal scorer.
And he is the background of one of the records.
This made him very depressed. He had done his best, but still couldn't stop the opponent from scoring.
The problem lies with the defense, but he did not blame his teammates. It was just a goal lost, there was no need to do so.
"Cheer up, don't underestimate the other party just because they are weak!"
Neuer clapped his hands vigorously and shouted to his teammates.
Lahm gave him an apologetic look and exchanged glances with Boateng.
Both of them made up their minds that they must guard against this guy in the next game and never give him any chance again.
On the coaching side, when Schaff saw Lin Quan get the ball, he couldn't help but stand up. He didn't sit down until Lin Quan scored a goal. A satisfied smile appeared on his face: This kid is indeed a big-scene player. He is not weak or stage-frightened in such occasions. It seems that we can consider giving him more tactical arrangements.
Unlike him, after seeing Lin Quan score a goal, the other coaches in the coaching booth rushed to the sidelines like crazy, hugged each other and shouted.
“Damn it!”
"God, can this ball go in?"
"The other party is just lucky!"
On the Bayern bench, when they saw the opponent score a goal, Bayern's substitutes and assistant coaches all looked constipated and found it difficult to accept this result.
When Heynckes saw the opponent score the first goal, he just frowned slightly.
He was very surprised by Werder Bremen's number 10.
The opponent has a mentality and experience that is not suitable for his age. Just now, when Ram was defending him, he set several traps for him.
But he didn't step on any of them and avoided them all.
This is the kind of handling experience that only experienced players can have. I never expected to see it in a sixteen-year-old boy.
Either the opponent was too slow to notice Ram's trap, or he was an absolute genius who could ignore his opponent's defensive trap.
He would rather the opponent was the former, because if he was really a genius, then Bayern might be in trouble in this game! So, taking advantage of the time before the restart, Heynckes called Kroos.
"After the kick-off, tell your teammates to increase the tempo of the game. Also, arrange someone to mark the opponent's number 10. Discuss the details with Lahm. In short, don't give him space to receive the ball comfortably."
Kroos nodded heavily. In this game, Schweinsteiger was not there, so he had to take the lead in Bayern's midfield.
This is a big test for the young Kroos!
The game soon resumed.
After Bayern kicked off, they were not affected at all by the loss of the ball and continued to besiege Werder Bremen's goal.
In the 11th minute of the game, Robben broke through on the right and caused a foul by a Werder Bremen player. The referee gave Werder Bremen's No. 16 Junuzovic a yellow card.
Two minutes later, Robben made a comeback.

Affected by the yellow card, Junuzovic did not dare to make any big movements when defending, and was easily passed by Robben.
This time, Robben seemed to realize that the attack was not his alone, so after the breakthrough he immediately passed the ball to Muller who was following up in the middle.
Without stopping the ball, Muller passed it to Saric with one touch. The latter started quickly and shot as soon as he received the ball. It was a good chance, but unfortunately his shot was slightly off the goal, making Bayern fans sigh.
In the 16th minute, Bayern Munich successfully intercepted the ball in the frontcourt, and Muller made a straight pass to break through Werder Bremen's defense line.
Bayern's center forward Gomez received the ball in the penalty area and despite the interference of two defenders, he turned around and shot, but the ball hit the post and bounced out.
This ball shocked the fans of Werder Bremen. The opponent's shooting chance was not good, but the quality of the shot was extremely high.
If it weren't for the goalpost, the score might have been tied.
In the past few minutes, Bayern has besieged Werder Bremen's goal.
Bayern raised the tempo of the game to a very high level, causing Werder Bremen to be unable to keep up with the pace and make frequent mistakes.
De Bruyne and Lin were both closely watched by Bayern players, and it was difficult for them to receive passes from their teammates.
Since the two players couldn't get the ball, Werder Bremen couldn't launch a counterattack and could only be pinned to the ground by their opponents.
We can't go on like this. If we defend for too long, we will definitely lose the ball. If we continue to be besieged by the opponent like this, we will definitely lose the ball.
Sure enough, in the 23rd minute of the game, Bayern played a wonderful combination in the frontcourt.
After a series of passes, Werder Bremen's defensive formation was disrupted. After Robben's shot was saved by the goalkeeper, Thomas Muller was very alert and made a follow-up shot in front of the goal.
The score on the field became 1:1!
After scoring the goal, Muller was so excited that he ran to the sidelines and raised his arms to the audience, asking for applause.
Bayern fans immediately gave him warm cheers and applause.
The other Bayern players also ran over excitedly to join in the celebration. When Lahm passed by Lin Quan, he specifically said: "Boy, you can't beat us!"
Lin Quan glanced at him, ignored him, turned around and went back to his own half to comfort his teammates.
He doesn't like arguing with others. Compared with talking, he prefers to prove himself with practical actions.
Today is the birthday of the author and the protagonist Lin Quan, so I added another chapter to celebrate! I would also like to thank several book friends for their tips. Thank you all!
