Chapter 119 Play Hard, the Future Is Yours!

Dortmund struggled in the first half of the season.

Halfway through the schedule, they only scored 28 points, a full 12 points behind Bayern at the top of the list.

If they still want to win the championship this season, they cannot lose a game from now on.

With the end of the Champions League group stage, after finishing first in the group and drawing the weaker Shakhtar Donetsk in the round of 16 draw, Dortmund's pressure to advance to the quarterfinals has been greatly reduced.

Therefore, Klopp decided to focus on the league.

There is still a month until the knockout rounds of the Champions League start, which is enough time for them to grab points in the league.

Werder Bremen, whose draw with them in the first half of the season prevented them from getting off to a good start and caused the team's record to fluctuate, became their first target.

After arriving at the Weser Stadium, Dortmund played extremely unrestrainedly.

In this game, Werder Bremen felt the power of Klopp's mad dog tactics.

Dortmund, who vowed to avenge their humiliation, all the players in the game combined to run 125 kilometers. If the goalkeeper is removed, it is equivalent to an average of 12 kilometers per player!

High pressure defense!

Attack quickly!

Teamwork!

These are reflected through Dortmund's super running ability.

Werder Bremen was able to hold on in the first half, but was overwhelmed by the opponent in the second half.

At the end of the game, the score was 2:5, with the home team in front and the visiting team in back.

Dortmund scored 3 goals in the first half from Reus, Gotze and Lewandowski to confirm their lead.

In the second half, Werder Bremen launched a counterattack by Lin Quan and De Bruyne, and pulled back two goals within 15 minutes, which once gave people hope.

But Royce's solo goal extinguished their hopes.

In stoppage time, Santana succeeded in making a supplementary shot in front of the goal, setting the score at 2:5.

Werder Bremen lost to Dortmund by a huge score at home, and the first game of the second half of the season got off to a bad start!

After losing the game, Lin Quan felt a little depressed.

This game is completely about the gap in physical strength. Dortmund can run, but if you can't keep up, you will be beaten to death by the opponent.

If they met Dortmund in the middle of the season, Werder Bremen would not be beaten so badly.

But after Dortmund recuperated throughout the winter break, the team's condition is at its peak.

They have enough physical strength to support them running like this. Werder Bremen has no way to deal with them.

After all, Dortmund, who is playing crazy, can beat Real Madrid by four goals in one game.

When they treated Werder Bremen with the same attitude as Real Madrid, it was strange that Werder Bremen did not lose.

"Lin, now we have settled our grudges!"

After the game, Royce ran to Lin Quan and wanted to exchange jerseys with him.

In this game, Royce scored twice and led his team to a victory over his opponent. He was in a very happy mood.

"Two clears? I don't remember us winning at the Westfalenstadion!"

"Why not? Doesn't the Telecom Cup match count?"

The corners of Lin Quan's mouth twitched slightly. As expected, this boy was still thinking about the Telecom Cup.

Is a game of that nature comparable to the league?

"Hmph, we have recorded this grudge, and we will settle the score with you next time we go to Westphalia!"

Royce put his hand on his shoulder and asked curiously:

"Our two matches in the league have been played. Aren't you going to return to Barcelona next season? If you go back to Barcelona, ​​we will probably only meet on the Champions League schedule. In that case, there will not be many opportunities to play against each other."

"Who said I want to go back to Barcelona? Can't I stay in Werder Bremen?"

"Tsk, you can only believe it. With your worth, Werder Bremen may not even be able to afford your salary!"

Royce had an expression that said, "I don't know much about reading, so don't lie to me."

Think about it, the Werder Bremen team's maximum salary is just over 2 million euros, and Lin Quan is now well-known in Europe.

No matter what the salary is, it should be six to seven million euros, right?

Werder Bremen really cannot afford such a salary.

"What do you think? If you don't go back to Barcelona, ​​you might as well come to Dortmund and let's play Bayern together. How about it? Isn't it very attractive?"

"Come on, your Dortmund frontcourt positions are all full. Where is my position? Whose position can I take if I go to your side? Yours, Gotze's or Lewandowski's?"

"That's true!"

Royce scratched his head and finally gave up such an idea.

"Besides, if I go to Dort, how can I seek revenge from you!"

Royce was stunned, this kid really holds a grudge!

…

After losing to Dortmund in the league, everyone at Werder Bremen was holding back a ball of fire.

It just so happens that the next game is the Northern Derby between Werder Bremen and Hamburg.

Now, there is no need for the head coach to motivate the players before the game. The players consciously show up their fighting spirit and are ready to take care of the weaklings like hamburgers.

Hamburg itself is mediocre, with good results and no big-name players. They have no worries about relegation and no hope of winning the championship. It can be said that they are a team with no desires and no aspirations.

However, because there is a Korean player in the Hamburg team, this game is a little more interesting.

At the pre-match press conference, a Korean reporter asked Schaff what he thought of Hamburg's No. 40 player.

Schaff had heard about a good young winger who came out of Hamburg's youth training. The opponent performed well this season, scoring 6 goals in half a season.

This kind of performance is very good for a 20-year-old young player, but compared with Lin Quan and De Bruyne of his own team, it still feels much worse.

Alas, what can I do? My vision has been tricked by these two monsters in the team, but they are not Werder Bremen players. This is very tragic.

Thinking of this, he praised:

"Sun is a player with great potential and I am very optimistic about his future."

When the Korean reporters heard Schaaf's praise, they all puffed up their chests proudly.

Then he asked more aggressively:

"Then do you think, which one is greater, Sun's potential or Lin Quan's?"

Shaf was stunned for a moment and looked at the reporter who asked the question in surprise: Are you serious?

Looking at the other party's expression, he felt that the other party was not joking.

So he said seriously:

"I don't think there's any need to discuss this, right? Lin's talent, at his age, I have never seen anyone better than him."

The reporters at the scene nodded one after another. He scored 25 goals in half a season. Such a young player can only be described as a monster.

The Korean reporter said unconvinced:

"You are biased. Our Sun is no worse than Lin Quan. As long as we give him enough playing time and tactical status, I believe he will achieve better results than Lin Quan!"

The corner of Shafu's mouth twitched slightly, wondering where this fool came from.

Wasn't Lin Quan's position in the team earned through competition?

If your Son Heung-min really has this ability, why doesn't Hamburg give him such a tactical position?

Does Hamburg's coach have no vision?

Schaff turned to look at Hamburg's head coach Finke, who had an unpleasant look on his face.

He felt that the Korean reporter had just attacked his tactical arrangements and employment habits, which was a challenge to his authority.

So, as the coach of the Hamburg team, he actually praised Lin Quan so much that he was so disgusting that he felt numb to the bone.

Scharf on the side wondered if the old boy was targeting his players, otherwise how could he say such disgusting words.

What a once-in-a-century experience, what a unique talent, what the reincarnation of a world champion.

This old boy Fink is so brave!

Korean reporters are outrageous, but Son Heung-min himself is very sensible.

When playing the game, the two teams met in the tunnel.

He took the initiative to run to Lin Quan and apologize to Lin Quan.

Lin Quan had no idea what happened at the press conference and was confused when faced with Son Heung-min's apology.

So I had to encourage the other party: "Play well! I'm optimistic about you!"

The 20-year-old Son Heung-min was encouraged by the 17-year-old Lin Quan.

This kind of thing seems a bit inconsistent no matter how you look at it, but Sun Xingmin was extremely excited in his heart:

Brother Lin actually knows me!

Still optimistic about me!

He felt flattered and so excited that he wanted to rush to the field immediately and show Lin Quan everything he knew!

…

After the game started, Son Heung-min was very active on the left, successfully posing a threat several times with the ball from the side.

This made the Korean fans cheering on the sidelines extremely excited:

"Ah ah ah, our Son Heung-min is so good, Werder Bremen's players can't guard him at all!"

"He deserves to be the best in Asia, well done to Son Heung-min!"

"The Bundesliga stage is too small. Son Heung-min will bury his talent if he stays here. He should land in the Premier League or La Liga. Only such a top league is worthy of him!"

Korean fans began to swell out of habit. They directly ignored Shinji Kagawa, the number one player in Asia, and put this hat on Son Heung-min's head.

Son Heung-min's potential is good, but in 2013, he was obviously not as good as Shinji Kagawa.

However, after Park Ji-sung left Manchester United, the throne of Asia's number one player was taken away by the Japanese.

This made the Koreans very unhappy. Finally, a young player with potential appeared, and naturally he was showered with all kinds of praise.

After the start, Hamburg played really well, especially Son Heung-min's performance was very active.

After Lin Quan noticed this, he reduced the number of activities in the middle and began to focus on wing attacks.

His huge threat makes the entire Hamburg team fearful.

Seeing him dribbling the ball from the wing, Sun Xingmin did not dare to continue the attack and could only choose to retreat.

Lin Quan is a right winger and Son Heung-min is a left winger. The two happen to be on the same side.

So, in the 9th minute of the game, the scene that Koreans were looking forward to - the head-on showdown between Lin Quan and Son Heung-min came.

Son Heung-min has good offensive ability but average defensive ability.

Facing Lin Quan's breakthrough, he was very cautious.

Lin Quan saw that the opponent lacked defensive experience, so he deliberately exposed his flaws and focused on his right foot.

Son Heung-min was indeed fooled. Seeing that Lin Quan's focus had changed, he chose to take action without any doubt.

But the moment he took the shot, the football disappeared from his eyes.

Lin Quan's focus changed again, and he easily passed him and headed towards Hamburg's half.

Ah, I was passed over!

Seeing Son Heung-min defeated in a direct duel with Lin Quan, the Korean fans who were cheering loudly on the sidelines were very disappointed and their momentum was a little flagging.

"Don't be discouraged. Our Son Heung-min is good at attacking and is not a full-time defensive player. The opponent's breakthrough ability is a bit strong. It is normal for him to be unable to guard against him!"

"That's right, what's so good about defense? Let's see Son Heung-min attack later. The opponent can't guard him either!"

As a result, the Korean fan club came back to life with full blood and continued to cheer loudly for the players they supported.

Son Heung-min was suppressed, causing Hamburg's attack on the left to lose its threat.

In just ten minutes, Lin Quan completed three breakthroughs on his side and assisted his teammates to score a goal.

This made Son Heung-min feel very frustrated. Although he had been very careful, he was still led by doubts.

The gap between me and senior Lin Quan is indeed huge!

Seeing Lin Quan celebrating his goal with his teammates, Son Heung-min felt very bitter.

But when he heard the cheers from his hometown fans on the sidelines, his fighting spirit ignited again:

I can’t disappoint the fans who come from afar. Defense is not my strong point, offense is!

After the restart, Son Heung-min took the ball again.

He walked quickly on the wing with a ball in his hand, vowing to help his teammates score and equalize the score.

As a result, just after halftime, Lin Quan appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

"Come on, come on! Lin Quan is going to be tortured!"

On the sidelines, the Korean fans became excited when they saw Lin Quan running to defend Son Heung-min.

"Haha, I have watched this guy's game. His defensive ability is simply scum. He will definitely not be able to stop our Son Heung-min!"

Korean fans are full of confidence. They feel that with Son Heung-min's ability, it is not easy to defeat a player with almost no defensive ability?

Son Heung-min himself thinks so too:

Senior Lin Quan has strong offensive ability, but his defensive ability has always been his shortcoming.

He came to defend himself mostly to buy time for his teammates.

I can't be held back by him, I have to get past him as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Sun Xingmin used his left foot to pick up the ball, preparing to overtake at high speed from the sideline.

Lin Quan saw his action and did not take a rash shot. Instead, he immediately chose the main position to pass the ball and prevent Sun Xingmin from overtaking.

Sun Xingmin had just made a move and was about to break through. Who would have expected that the opponent would react so quickly.

He had no time to adjust and collided head-on with Lin Quan.

The height difference between the two was 10 centimeters, and Son Heung-min took the initiative to hit him again.

Logically speaking, he should be the one who knocked down Lin Quan, but what is surprising is that it was Son Heung-min himself who was knocked down.

Lin Quan only took a step back after being hit, but did not fall to the ground.

The fans at Hamburg's home court were in an uproar. They couldn't figure out why their winger lost the physical confrontation.

It's their wingers who clearly seem to have the advantage!

How did they know that although Lin Quan is not as tall as Son Heung-min, his weight is about the same as Son Heung-min.

Short height means a low center of gravity. In addition, he learned some defensive skills from Guardiola and used his body reasonably, which gave him an advantage in physical confrontations.

Lin Quan's weight has almost caught up with Messi's. Messi's ability in physical confrontation is not weak, otherwise he would not have scored so many goals and completed so many wonderful dribbles.

However, his current weight is enough and he cannot continue to gain weight.

Adding more weight will put tremendous pressure on his ankles and knees, and will also reduce his agility attributes and affect his speed.

Seeing Son Heung-min being knocked down, Korean fans in the audience loudly protested.

They believed that Lin Quan must have used a foul action, otherwise how could he have stopped his own Son Heung-min?

"This kid is so despicable!"

"Yes, his playing style is so dirty!"

"Our Son Heung-min is too innocent. If I play, I will definitely give that guy an elbow to let him know how powerful he is!"

Although the big screen at the scene showed a replay of the defense just now, Lin Quan's defensive actions were very clean and there was no foul.

But Koreans turned a blind eye to this and remained stubborn.

Ten minutes later, Son Heung-min once again dribbled the ball from the wing and Lin Quan met him for the second time.

"Come on, come on, our Son Heung-min will definitely be able to get past that guy easily this time!"

Korean fans became excited again, but they stopped getting excited halfway.

After learning the lesson from the last time, this time Son Heung-min did not choose to slow down when he met Lin Quan, but suddenly accelerated without giving the opponent time to get stuck.

His speed has always been his trump card. As long as he uses this trump card well, he doesn't believe that the other party can stop him?

However, Lin Quan really did it!

When he saw Son Heung-min preparing to pass the ball, Lin Quan judged the opponent's intention. He turned around decisively in advance and took the ball away before his opponent. After receiving the ball, he immediately sent a through ball and passed it to the frontcourt player. De Bruyne.

De Bruyne sent a beautiful overhead pass to Arnautovic, who was returning from injury, and the latter completed the goal with a header.

The score became 2:0, and Werder Bremen had basically sealed the victory.

He failed in two consecutive matches, which dealt a huge blow to Son Heung-min's self-confidence.

The Korean fans on the sidelines also completely lost their temper.

This time, Lin Quan's defense didn't even touch the corner of Sun Xingmin's clothes. Even if they were too shameless to challenge Lin Quan, they would be too embarrassed to call Lin Quan a foul.

These rounds of fighting are enough to prove that Lin Quan and Son Heung-min are not players of the same level.

Son Heung-min was unable to defend and attack. He was at a disadvantage on both offense and defense, and was completely suppressed by Lin Quan.

There are tens of thousands of fans at the scene, and probably only Koreans would think that Son Heung-min is better than Lin Quan!

In the end, Werder Bremen defeated Hamburg with a score of 3:0 in the away game. This season's Northern Derby ended with Werder Bremen's complete victory.

After the game, Son Heung-min was a little depressed and seemed to be hit hard by this game.

Just as he lowered his head and was about to leave, a green figure appeared in front of him.

"Let's exchange jerseys, okay?"

Lin Quan smiled and said to Son Heung-min that he had no good impressions of Korean fans.

But he won't be angry with the players because of this. Son Heung-min's character and ability are both excellent, and he is different from ordinary Korean players.

He doesn't hate such people.

"Senior Lin, I..."

When Son Heung-min heard that Lin Quan wanted to exchange jerseys with him, he quickly took off his jersey.

But I felt a little embarrassed in my heart. I felt that my performance in this game was so bad that I really didn't deserve to exchange jerseys with senior Lin Quan.

"Come on, play well, I'm optimistic about you!"

Lin Quan repeated what he said to him in the tunnel.

After finishing speaking, he seemed to remember Duncan's famous saying, so he patted the other party on the shoulder and added:

"The future is yours!"

Son Heung-min was encouraged and nodded heavily, and was excited when he saw Lin Quan's leaving figure.

Senior Lin Quan actually thinks so highly of me and says the future is mine!

Hehe, I’m a little excited just thinking about it!

Wait, how old is Senior Lin Quan this year?

Son Heung-min suddenly thought of the other party's age, and then he was messed up in the wind...
