Chapter 23

After De Bruyne scored the goal, while running towards the sidelines, he pointed at Lin Quan and asked Lin Quan to come and celebrate with him.

He was able to score this goal. Apart from the high quality of his own shots, the rest of the credit was due to Lin Quan's pass.

If he hadn't attracted a large number of defensive players and seized the open pass, De Bruyne would not have gotten such a comfortable goal.

Lin Quan ran over with a smile, and while reaching out to rub De Bruyne's hair, he praised:

"Kevin, that shot just now was really beautiful!"

"Thank you, you pass the ball very well!"

Teammates also ran over to celebrate at this time, giving De Bruyne the goal and Lin Quan the assist. Captain Fritz even gave them a warm hug.

The outstanding performance of Lin Quan and De Bruyne in this game has been recognized by their old players.

"Well done, lads!"

"Continue to maintain this state, score more goals for the team in the new season, and win more games!"

"Thank you Captain, we will work hard, just wait and see!"

Lin Quan said generously and confidently, and De Bruyne nodded in step:
"Me too!"

The captain was very satisfied with the answers of the two. After the celebration, he called his teammates back to their positions loudly, reminding them not to relax their vigilance just because of the 2:0 lead.

In history, there are many tragedies in which teams were reversed because of lax defense when they were leading the score. The most famous one may be the opening of champagne at halftime on the night of Istanbul.

Lin Quan and De Bruyne are not the kind of people who get carried away as soon as they score a goal. The two quickly returned to their positions.

The game restarts.

Cottbus, who was already two goals behind, did not accept his fate. Instead, he let go of the psychological burden of fear of losing and invested more troops in the offense.

However, Werder Bremen's 4141 tactics have five midfielders when defending, which greatly restricts their offense.

The two sides strangled fiercely in the midfield, and it was difficult for Cottbus players to hold the ball, let alone organize an attack.

As a last resort, Cottbus gave up the short pass penetration in the middle and began to use the traditional long pass tactics to deal with Werder Bremen.

Now, the weakness of Werder Bremen's single midfielder began to be exposed. They lacked the protection of the ribs on both sides, and they gave the opponent two chances in succession within 5 minutes.

Fortunately, the opponent's ability to seize opportunities was poor, and neither of these two goals resulted in a shot.

After realizing the team's defensive problems, coach Schaff called captain Fritz over to teach him the opportunity.

When Fritz returned to the field, he took a step back and became a central defender.

At the same time, the avant-garde line moved back, and Werder Bremen's formation became 541!
This change made the head coach of the visiting team want to scold. You are a dignified Bundesliga team, and you actually played a defensive defense with five defenders against my Bundesliga team?
Want a face?

Facing the glaring glare of the coach of the visiting team, Coach Scharf was calm and composed, without any feeling of embarrassment.

This kind of friendly match is originally for the team to practice various tactics. If you don't dare to try because of the influence and face, then it is meaningless to play such a match.

Moreover, the 541 formation is not to hide and defend, which is another offensive routine.

When they play a 541 formation, the opponent will definitely overwhelm their half.

This gives the wingers a lot of space to sprint and make them more of a threat when counter-attacking.

Coincidentally, there is such a winger with strong personal ability in their lineup.

Therefore, for Schaff, taking a step back is actually for better offense.

The counter-attack scene that Schaff expected quickly unfolded.

In the 78th minute of the game, Werder Bremen launched a quick counterattack from the backcourt.

Fritz, who played as a guest central defender, saw the huge gap in the opponent's backcourt, so he directly kicked a long diagonal pass and lobbed the ball to the opponent's half.

Lin Quan had already started to activate when the ball was transferred, and he was already on par with the opponent's defender the moment Fritz passed the ball.

The opponent's defender started a step too late and couldn't catch up with him at all, so he could only raise his hand to signal him to be offside, while chasing after him in vain.

The linesman turned a blind eye to the defender's offside signal. He could see clearly that Lin Quan was not offside at the moment of passing the ball. It was only because he started too quickly that it gave people the illusion that he was almost offside.

The goalkeeper chose to attack at the first time. For such a one-handed ball, staying in the small penalty area is almost waiting for death.

The ball is about the same distance from the two, but Lin Quan's speed has already reached full speed, while the goalkeeper has just started.

So, before the goalkeeper touched the ball, Lin Quan took the first step to touch the ball.

He poked the ball with his toe, and the ball, like a mischievous elf, slipped through the goalkeeper's crotch.

With a plop, the goalkeeper sat down on the ground. When he saw Lin Quan poke the ball, he had already guessed the opponent's intention.

But his movement was half a beat slow, and he couldn't stop the opponent from piercing through his wicket.

Lin Quan bypassed the fallen goalkeeper and caught up with the football in front of the goal line.

Because the defender was still some distance away from him, he glanced at the defender after stopping the ball, and then kicked the ball into the goal.

The score was rewritten to 3:0, Werder Bremen completely sealed the victory.

"Lin, you run so fast!"

Captain Fritz happily ran over to hug Lin Quan. The ball counted as his assist, but if it was passed to someone else, the assist might not be available.

"It's the captain, you passed it well!"

Lin Quan replied with a smile, and Nils who was on the side was quite upset when he heard the captain praise Lin Quan.

He actually ran out of space just now, but Lin Quan was single-handedly, and even passed the goalkeeper. Naturally, it was impossible to pass the ball back to him.

Lin Quan is not as selfless as that, especially when he found out that when he and De Bruyne scored goals before, Niles did not participate in the celebration, so he didn't like Niles very much.

Nils was upset. Anyway, he is the team's genuine striker, and he was still on loan from a giant like Bayern.

For Werder Bremen, he is getting married and helping the poor, and the other party should support him.

So after the start of the game, relying on his identity, he loudly demanded the ball, especially when Lin Quan and De Bruyne took the ball.

These two players who came on loan like him both scored goals, and Lin Quan scored twice when he came off the bench.

If he, an authentic striker who plays all the time, doesn't score, where will he save his face?
And if they want to take the ball away from them, they won't be able to continue scoring goals.

Lin Quan didn't like Niels very much, and pretended not to see his request.

On the contrary, De Bruyne is an honest boy. When he saw Niles asking for the ball, he passed the ball to him.

It's a pity that the Cottbus players who were kicked [-]-[-] were already full of anger.

Nils has neither De Bruyne's outstanding ability to play the ball, nor Lin Quan's perverted ability to pass people.

He took the ball and was double-teamed and tackled when he took it. Not only did he quickly lose the ball, but he was also turned on his back by the opponent's tackle.

His thin body does not have an advantage in the hand-to-hand fight of the opponent's tall central defender, and he does not know where he has the confidence to dribble the ball.

Schaf on the sidelines saw Nils kept being brought down by the opponent, worried that he would be injured, so he replaced him in advance.

De Bruyne, who played most of the game, was also replaced.

Also being substituted, when Nils left the field, the fans at the scene did not express anything.

But when De Bruyne left the field, the fans gave him warm applause.
