Chapter 52: Parrot Corps, about to set sail

After Lin Quan got the money, he planned to buy some training equipment and put it at home to facilitate daily training.

This game made him realize that his current physical condition was not enough to support him to play the whole game.

If he doesn't work hard to improve his physical reserves, he may have to wait until next year or even later to start.

I had just bought the equipment and was returning home with the deliveryman, but I found that there were guests at home.

"Pep, why are you here?"

Lin Quan was very surprised when he saw that the person who came was Guardiola. He thought that the other party should be busy preparing for the wedding and never expected that he would come.

"I saw you were injured during the game, so I came to take a look. Is your injury okay?"

Guardiola said with a concerned tone.

After leaving Munich, he went to Dortmund first. When he learned that Lin Quan returned to Bremen with the team, he followed him without stopping.

"It's nothing serious. The team doctor checked me using the team's equipment and there's nothing wrong!"

After hearing this answer, Guardiola breathed a sigh of relief.

The answer he was most afraid of hearing was that Lin Quan was seriously injured, but when he saw that the other party was alive and kicking, he knew that the possibility was very low.

"That's good!"

At this time, Guardiola saw the workers carrying the training equipment into the house.

"Did you buy this yourself?"

"Well, I plan to train more physically and try to get into the starting lineup as soon as possible!"

"As for starting, it might be a little early for a player of your age. It would be better to play as a substitute first, and then strive for a starting position after you adapt to the rhythm of the Bundesliga games!"

Guardiola was very impressed when he heard that the sixteen-year-old Lin Quan wanted to fight for the starting position.

When he was sixteen years old, he was still struggling in the echelons!

It was not until he was 19 years old that he represented the adult team on the stage of Camp Nou, and it was not until he was 21 that he really established himself in the first team.

Compared to himself, Lin Quan started much earlier.

However, after watching a game of Lin Quan live, Guardiola realized that the opponent's talent was much stronger than when he was young.

If I say that I am just an ordinary star, then the other party has the potential to become a superstar.

"Yeah, that's what the coach said!"

After disbanding the team, Coach Scharf talked to Lin Quan for a while.

The topic was about his tactical positioning in the team in the new season. Schaaf told him that he would be the team's offensive core.

But his physical fitness was not enough to support him to play the whole game, so Coach Schaaf hoped that he could accept the tactical arrangement and come on as a substitute in the second half.

A substitute as the team's offensive core? If other people heard this, they would definitely think that Schaff was lying to children.

But Lin Quan believed that what Shaf said was true and he did not deceive himself.

He accepted Coach Scharf's arrangement, but that didn't mean he was willing to accept the substitute position.

Therefore, I must train my physical fitness and try to meet the requirements of the coaching staff as soon as possible and grab a starting position.

"It's a good thing to have this kind of ambition, but be careful about the amount of training and don't hurt yourself. At your age, the most important thing to avoid is injury!"

Guardiola knew that Lin Quan had a strong personality, so he didn't say much, but just reminded him not to hurt himself.

Guardiola stayed in Bremen for two days, during which time he met with the club's coach Schaff and the two had a very good chat.

Guardiola briefed Schaaf on his previous training of Lin Quan and his tactical positioning in the Barcelona youth team.

Schaff asked Guardiola how to use Messi in the Barcelona first team lineup, including winger, shadow striker, etc.

Messi is the most talented player Guardiola has ever coached and the one he is most proud of.

Guardiola has his own ideas on how to use Messi.

If someone asked him this question, he would definitely not tell them.

But if Schaff asked, it would be different, because Guardiola could see that Schaff seemed to intend to use Lin Quan as Werder Bremen's Messi.

If you think about it carefully, the playing styles of these two players are really very similar, and even their way of passing the ball is almost exactly the same.

Maybe the way Barcelona used Messi would work in Werder Bremen? On the last day, after treating Lin Quan's host family to a meal, Guardiola left Bremen and returned to Catalonia.

Before leaving, he reminded her, "Don't forget to come back to attend my wedding with Sera. The wedding is scheduled for October 1st!"

"Don't worry, I will remember it!"

When his adoptive parents got married, he had to go back even if he had to take leave.

What's more, the team didn't have a game that day, so we had to go back.

Guardiola left and Lin Quan's vacation was over.

On August 9, the players returned to the club one after another.

On the same day, Werder Bremen also announced on its official website that all transfer work for this season has been completed.

All summer signings will be unveiled at the Weser Stadium before the team's warm-up match with Premier League team Aston Villa on the 11th, and the team's jerseys for the new season will also be officially on sale.

This summer, Werder Bremen introduced a total of 11 players, including three on loan, four bought, two joining as free agents with zero transfer fee, and two promoted from the club's echelon.

Although a large number of players were introduced, the cost of recruiting them was not high.

The total cost of renting three players was 1.25 million euros, and the cost of buying four players was 8.5 million euros, totaling 9.75 million, less than 10 million.

This level of expenditure is definitely an example of careful budgeting for small and medium-sized teams.

On August 11, Werder Bremen played against Premier League team Aston Villa at home.

At the pre-match player meeting, the eleven players signed in the summer appeared one by one.

There were 45,000 spectators at the event, and the venue was almost full.

The main reason why so many people came was because of the team's outstanding performance in the Telecom Cup, which allowed fans to see signs of the team's revival and awakened their enthusiasm for watching football.

Winning the Telecom Cup was an unexpected surprise for Werder Bremen fans.

I thought I was just accompanying the prince to study, but I didn't expect the team to win the championship.

Although the championship is not as valuable as the league trophy and the German Cup trophy, it is still a trophy, right?

And through these two games, they got to know these new faces of the team.

The strengths of players like Lukimyar, Selassie, Elia and others have been recognized by the team's fans.

As for the two young players Lin Quan and De Bruyne, they are the two most surprising points of the team in the new season.

Lin Quan's strong finishing ability in the frontcourt and De Bruyne's talent in connecting the midfield and frontcourt have been unanimously recognized by the fans.

As a result, they all began to look forward to the team's performance in the new season! Because they got to know the new players in the team in advance through these two games, when these players came on the court, they received warm cheers from the fans on the scene.

Among them, De Bruyne and Lin Quan received the most cheers.

When Lin Quan came on the field wearing the No. 10 jersey, all 45,000 fans at the scene stood up and shouted his name in unison. Some fans even wore the team's new season jerseys that had just been put on sale.

The jerseys these fans were wearing were Lin Quan's No. 10 jersey! He had not played a Bundesliga match, but he had already become the most popular player in the team! This scene was recorded by a reporter from Bild and became a classic photo discussed by many fans later.

The 2012-2013 season is about to start for Werder Bremen.
