Chapter 426: Koreans have done Son Heung-min a disservice

Although teams often fail in the European Super Cup, judging from the overall winning rate, the Champions League champions are more likely to win.

After all, many Europa League champions were eliminated in the Champions League group stage, and are indeed not as good as the giants in the Champions League in terms of hard power.

However, Sevilla was able to gain the upper hand against Manchester City, the two-time Champions League champions and the most powerful team in today's football world, which made many people look at them with admiration.

As expected of the champion of the Sevilla Cup, he is really capable.

However, in this game, Son Heung-min, who came on as a substitute and performed well, also attracted the attention of many fans after the game.

His speed and the power he displayed in cooperation with Lin Quan during the counterattack were truly impressive.

"Who is this person? Why didn't I have any impression of him before?"

There are not many fans who follow the Bundesliga, and Leverkusen is not a strong team, so not many people in the Premier League know Son Heung-min.

"I browsed Manchester City's official website. It seems that this guy was just bought by Manchester City from Leverkusen. The transfer fee is not low, 30 million euros!"

"30 million euros? This price is already the value of a star player. Is an Asian player really worth this much?"

"Looking at his performance in this game, I think he is totally worth the price. If he can continue to grow, I am afraid that in a few years, his value will continue to soar!"

"Yes, good wingers are a very scarce resource, not to mention a winger with speed, shooting skills and the ability to score goals. Don't forget that when Real Madrid bought Bale from Tottenham, it cost 100 million pounds!"

"Ahem, Bale's value should be less than 100 million pounds. That transfer is not just for Bale alone!"

"Haha, Real Madrid is just saying this to appease Ronaldo, do you really believe it?"

"Damn, if this kid can really reach Bale's level, then wouldn't Manchester City be invincible?"

Manchester City is a team that mainly attacks from the flanks. Although they do not have a lineup worth 200 million like Real Madrid, the mere presence of Lin Quan is enough for other teams to underestimate.

Moreover, the presence of David Silva, De Bruyne and two full-backs who are good at assisting makes Manchester City's wing attack system very powerful. Now with the addition of an extremely fast winger, it can be foreseen that Manchester City will be even more difficult to stop in the new season.

Son Heung-min's goal in the Super Cup made him famous and greatly excited Korean fans.

After Park Ji-sung retired, South Korea lacked a leading figure in the international arena.

At this time, Son Heung-min's sudden emergence allowed him to quickly defeat other competitors and become the well-deserved No. 1 in the hearts of Korean fans!

The Koreans were so excited that they began to praise Son Heung-min, praising him to the skies and saying he was omnipotent, as if he was the best player in the world. Lin Quan, Messi, and others were just ants in his eyes! Under their praise, Son Heung-min, who had just joined Manchester City and played for Manchester City, seemed to have replaced Lin Quan and become the top player and absolute core of Manchester City.

When this news reached the Premier League, Son Heung-min, who had just joined the team and had been taken care of by Lin Quan, suddenly became a little panicked.

"Father, can you please take care of these fans in China? They are trying to kill me!"

Son Heung-min quickly found his father, hoping that he would come forward to stop the extreme behavior of those domestic fans.

He was a new player who had just joined the team, but such news came out. If his teammates knew about this, how would they view him? Other people's opinions were fine, but the key was how would the team leader Lin Quan view him?

As far as he knew, Lin Quan had deep connections with China, and the reports and hype from the Korean media were most likely revealed to him by his Chinese friends.

Once he learns the news, will he be isolated and targeted?

Thinking of this, Son Heung-min suddenly felt completely hopeless.

These bastards are really killing people!

"We need to step in to stop it, but that alone is not enough!"

After Son Heung-min's father learned the news, he also felt that this matter was of great significance.

But he felt that it was not enough to just suppress the noise in the country, and he also needed to give an explanation to Lin Quan.

"Have you visited Lin Quan since you came to Manchester City?"

He looked at his son and asked.

"Well, I've been busy with various things since I got here, and I haven't had time to visit him yet!"

“What a mess!”

Hearing what Son Heung-min said, his father slapped his thigh and said earnestly:

"Xiao Sun, remember, playing football also requires social skills. The core of Manchester City is Lin Quan, and everyone knows this. The head coach of Manchester City is his adoptive father. This means that in the entire Manchester City, the father and son can cover the sky with one hand. No matter who you offend, you must not offend him. Not only must you not offend him, but you must also make friends with him as soon as possible!"

Sun's father didn't finish what he was saying. If it were a European player, he might not pay so much attention to the social etiquette, but when he meets someone who belongs to the same Confucian cultural circle, he must take it seriously.

The slightest negligence may offend others secretly, and then they will make things difficult for you without you knowing what mistake you made.

"Oh, is that so? What should I do now?"

Son Heung-min is obsessed with football and is busy with training and competitions all day long. He doesn't pay much attention to things other than football. In addition, he went abroad very early and didn't know much about the social customs in East Asia. After hearing what his father said, he was suddenly at a loss.

"Prepare a gift immediately and go visit him now to apologize to him!"

"Forget it, I'll go with you!"

Seeing his son's social awkwardness, Sun's father was worried that he would make things worse, so he had to go with him to Lin Quan's residence to apologize.

The two came to Lin Quan's villa on the Manchester seaside and were immediately shocked by the luxurious villa.

To buy a villa like this, it would cost at least 7 or 8 million pounds, right? He is indeed the best man in the world, and only he can afford such a villa!

At the reminder of his father, Son Heung-min went to press the doorbell.

After a while, Lin Quan came over wearing training clothes and sweating all over.

"Sorry, I was in training and came a little late. I kept you waiting!"

Lin Quan invited the two people in, took them to the reception room, poured them a cup of tea, took a quick shower, changed his clothes, and then came out.

"Brother Lin, we came here specifically to apologize to you!"

Seeing Lin Quan coming out, Son Heung-min quickly stood up, stated his purpose, and presented the gift he had prepared.

Lin Quan took it and took a look. It was a Rolex watch. The price was not particularly expensive, about 35,000 pounds. The price was moderate and it was quite suitable as a gift. After all, if it was too expensive, it would be embarrassing to accept it, and if it was too cheap, it would seem insincere. It seemed that the other party put a lot of thought into this gift.

"Oh? Apologize? What is there to apologize for?"

Lin Quan had heard about what was happening in South Korea. After all, he had many friends in the domestic football circle. These friends were indignant and reported the Koreans to him yesterday.

But Lin Quan knew the arrogant nature of Koreans, so he just laughed it off and didn't take it too seriously.

As long as this matter was not instigated by Son Heung-min himself, he naturally would not blame Son Heung-min.

"It's like this..."

Son Heung-min quickly explained what happened in South Korea and then apologized sincerely again.

"Brother Lin, I'm really sorry. These guys in our country are really boastful. I'm just a newcomer who has just joined the team. I just want to play football in the new season and I don't have any idea about anything else.

Besides, even if others don’t know, shouldn’t I know it?

With your ability, let alone me, I think even Messi and Ronaldo can't replace you!"

Lin Quan looked at Son Heung-min in surprise. This kid's flattery skills have improved!

But, did this kid come up with these words himself, or did his father teach him?

"Well, stop flattering me. You might as well go back to training and prepare for the next game!"

Lin Quan has heard so much praise from the outside world that he has almost become immune to all kinds of flattery.

Now that everything had been made clear, he prepared to see the guest off.

Unexpectedly, when Sun's father heard Lin Quan's words, his eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Lin, can my son play in the next game?"

Since joining the team, Son Heung-min has never appeared in the Premier League for Manchester City. Although he just had a good performance in the Super Cup, no one knows whether Guardiola will continue to give him opportunities. After all, Manchester City's lineup is very complete and there have not been many changes, so Son Heung-min may not have a chance.

"Our next opponent is not very strong. If we can secure the victory in the first half, the coach will usually replace the new players around the 65th minute of the second half to give them some training!"

Lin Quan glanced at Sun's father. It was obvious that the other party was trying to get some inside information from him.

Lin Quan can understand the nervousness and worries of a newcomer like Son Heung-min who has just joined the team, about whether he can integrate into the new team and adapt to the new league.

So he revealed a little bit. Of course, he would definitely not ask about Guardiola's lineup and substitution plans on behalf of Son Heung-min.

There is no need and he can't do that.

His relationship with Son Heung-min is not that good yet. Besides, he does not intend to act recklessly based on his relationship with Guardiola. That would be disrespectful to Guardiola.

Even so, the information he revealed was enough to put the two of them at ease.

So the father and son resigned, and Son Heung-min returned and trained even harder to prepare for the upcoming league.

Guardiola really likes players who train hard, even though football requires a lot of talent.

But if the players themselves do not work hard and squander their talents, then even the most talented ones will be buried.

On the contrary, some players who are not very talented can fully develop their talents through their own efforts and also have their own place in football.

So, after seeing Son Heung-min training so seriously and hard, his impression of Son Heung-min improved a lot.

So, when arranging the roster for the next round of Premier League games, he added Son Heung-min's name.

Son Heung-min felt relieved when he learned that he was included in the 18-man roster.

"It's just like what Brother Lin said. I really have a chance to play!"

Of course, he also knew very well that Guardiola was unlikely to put him in the starting lineup right away.

First of all, Manchester City is not a team short of players, so it does not need him to act as a savior.

Secondly, he has not yet integrated into the team's tactical system. If he is arranged to start, Manchester City's offensive system may not run smoothly. If they lose the game because of this, both he and Guardiola will be blamed.

For a new player, he usually comes on as a substitute first to increase the tacit understanding with teammates, and then slowly integrate into the team through subsequent team training.

After he has adjusted his condition to the best and formed a tacit understanding with his teammates, then at an appropriate time, such as when a teammate is injured, or when players are rotated in multi-line operations and someone on the bench is needed to take over, that will be his chance.

During this period, all he has to do is train hard, maintain his good form and desire for the game, cherish the limited time on the court, perform at his best, and hand in an answer sheet that satisfies the head coach and fans.

So, when the team training ended and other players went home, Son Heung-min took the initiative to stay and practice more.

But he was not the only one practicing on the training ground, Lin Quan was also here.

"Brother Lin, what are you practicing?"

Son Heung-min ran over with a curious look on his face and greeted Lin Quan.

"Free kick, what are you practicing?"

"Well, my dribbling ability is a little weak, I want to improve it."

As a winger, it is very embarrassing if you can't dribble past opponents.

It's not that Son Heung-min is completely incapable of dribbling past opponents, it's just that his dribbling ability is relatively weak and he needs to rely on speed. In positional battles where he does not have the advantage of speed, it is difficult for him to successfully dribble past opponents.

This is also the biggest gap between him and those top wingers in football. He does not have the ability to become a breaking point.

Lin Quan, who is a leader in this field, is the complete opposite of him.

"It just so happens that I've almost finished my training here, so I'll be your sparring partner!"

When Son Heung-min heard this, he was overjoyed.

What he lacks is Lin Quan's extraordinary ability. If he could practice with Lin Quan and learn a few tricks from Lin Quan, it would definitely be of great help in improving his offensive ability on the wing.

Seeing Son Heung-min's excited look, Lin Quan couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

He remembered De Bruyne who practiced with him on the training ground when he was at Werder Bremen.

De Bruyne was beaten beyond recognition by him at the beginning, and it seems that Son Heung-min is going to follow in De Bruyne's footsteps today.

After Son Heung-min set up the props, the two began to practice.

Son Heung-min was very excited at first, but soon felt something was wrong.

Every time it was his turn to defend, he couldn't stop Lin Quan at all, and he didn't even see the opponent's movements before he was passed.

It would be fine if it happened once or twice, but it happened every time, which made him feel extremely shocked!

Sure enough, experiencing it in person was completely different from watching it on TV.

At this time, Guardiola and several colleagues passed by the training ground and saw two people training seriously on the lawn.

"I've heard that Asian players are more hardworking. Today, I saw that it's true!"

Seeing these two people training hard, Guardiola nodded with satisfaction.
