Chapter 58
Naturally, Lin Quan, who is far away in Germany, cannot hear the debate in Spain.

Since the weekend league game was to play away games, he flew back to Germany immediately after finishing the National Youth Team game.

The two games were very close to each other, with only three days before and after.

For Lin Quan, who had just played all the games in the national youth competition and traveled long distances, it was quite a test.

On September 9, Werder Bremen rushed to Hannover to challenge Hannover 15, which is ranked third in the league, away.

Because Elia was injured in the Dutch national team game in the middle of the week, Schaff put Lin Quan in the starting lineup for the first time when he was lining up.

This made Lin Quan a little surprised. He thought it would take some time for him to start in the team, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

"Hannover's home game is not easy to play, and the opponent's fighting spirit is very tenacious. This game is a big test for us."

In the pre-match speech, Coach Schaff announced his tactics:
"Our tactic in this game is to use the time of abundant physical strength in the first half to score as many goals as possible and try to seal the victory. Don't drag the suspense of the game to the second half. Hannover is very good at using the time in the second half to reverse the game. We can't give Such an opportunity for them, understand?"

"Understood, Coach!"

The players responded loudly that the team's consecutive victories and draws made the Werder Bremen players a little inflated.

It seems that they don't pay much attention to opponents like Hannover 96!
As it turns out, there is a price to be paid for underestimating the other party.

Only 6 minutes into the game, Hannover's midfielder Huzdi took advantage of Werder Bremen's defensive mistakes and scored early.

With Lin Quan, Werder Bremen's offensive firepower is indeed good, but their defense has not improved much.

Last season, Werder Bremen's goals conceded ranked fourth from the bottom in the entire Bundesliga, which shows how bad their defense is.

The ball was thrown very speechlessly. Selassie was not decisive in passing the ball in the backcourt and was pressed by the opponent. After Hannover succeeded in stealing the ball, he counterattacked on the spot.

Werder Bremen's goalkeeper didn't have enough time to react, and the ball flew into his own goal.

After losing the ball, Millitz felt very angry and yelled at his defenders, telling them to pay more attention and not to be distracted.

Fortunately, Hannover's defense is not good either.

In the 18th minute, Werder Bremen took advantage of a counterattack opportunity and scored a goal from De Bruyne, quickly equalizing the score.

Eight minutes later, Werder Bremen made a comeback, Lin Quan dribbled into the penalty area and was tripped, Werder Bremen won a penalty.

Lin Quan took the penalty kick and the score became 2:1.
In these two attacks, Lin Quan had an excellent performance in the frontcourt, with one pass and one shot, dominating Werder Bremen's two goals.

After seeing his great threat, Hannover immediately strengthened his defense and prevented him from receiving the ball easily.

In the 31st minute, Hannover's Schroedrav received a yellow card for a foul on Lin Quan.

In the 37th minute, Haji also received a yellow card when defending Lin Quan.

Although it caused two yellow cards to the opponent, the opponent's defense also made it difficult for Werder Bremen's offensive cooperation in the frontcourt.

Especially Lin Quan himself, as soon as he catches the ball, the opponent will press him immediately, and if he can't grab the ball, he will foul.

Before the first half was over, his jersey was already covered with mud, and he was kicked down by the opponent many times.

The most exasperating thing is that the location of the opponent's foul is quite particular, basically near the center circle, and they are not given a free kick opportunity in a good position.

However, not having the opportunity to hit the goal directly does not mean that the free kick opportunity sent by the opponent cannot be used to make a fuss.

Otherwise, let the opponent use foul tactics to limit himself so unscrupulously, he doubts whether other teams will follow suit in the future and use forest cutting tactics against him.

So, in the 44th minute of the first half, when Lin Quan dribbled the ball and was brought down again by the opponent, he discussed with De Bruyne and did not directly send the free kick, but planned a tactical cooperation.

Seeing that Werder Bremen was going to take a tactical free kick, the Hannover players immediately lined up a wall at the front of the penalty area to block the opponent's passing line.

From such a long distance, it is impossible to hit the goal directly. Most of the opponents will choose to hang into the penalty area to create opportunities for headers.

However, what they didn't expect was that De Bruyne's free kick did not go to the high point in the penalty area, but passed to Lin Quan, who was in the rib of the penalty area.

Immediately after Lin Quan received the ball, he broke through the penalty area, and the opponent's players rushed out in a swarm, trying to restore their three lines of defense and expand the defensive area.

But at this moment, Lin Quan made an emergency stop, picked up the ball and passed it out.

The Hannover players who were rushing out watched the ball fly over their heads, but they were helpless because they couldn't stop the car.

Arnautovic, who was suddenly without a large group of defenders guarding him, saw the ball flying towards his head, subconsciously rubbed his head, and rubbed the ball towards the goal.

Hannover's goalkeeper only made a symbolic save, but did not touch the ball at all.

The score on the field became 3:1!
After scoring the goal, Anautovic was overwhelmed with surprise and excitedly rushed to Lin Quan's side, held his passer's foot, put it on his knee, and acted as if to shine his shoe.

The pass of the ball was so beautiful that it seemed as if he had eyes, and he found his head directly in the crowd.

Not to mention him, even if he pulls his 80-year-old grandma over, he can easily score the ball.

When did it become so easy to score a goal?
In the final analysis, Lin Quanchuan is the best!

Seeing that his teammates didn't waste the opportunities he created, Lin Quan was also very happy.

After being disgusted by Hannover's foul tactics for so long, I finally let out a breath of anger.

After being scored this goal, Hannover really restrained a lot. In the short time left in the first half, they did not dare to foul easily.

Two minutes later, the first half ended, and Werder Bremen returned to the locker room with a 2-goal lead.

In the locker room, Schaff affirmed the performance of the players in the first half.

But criticism was also made for the team's conceded goals in the opening stage.

"Lin, are you physically fit?"

After arranging the tactics for the second half, Coach Shaf found Lin Quan alone and asked with concern.

Since Lin Quan has never played in the starting lineup before, and has not played for such a long time, Schaff cannot judge whether he can persist in playing the whole game.

"It's okay for the time being. If I really can't support it, I will apply for a replacement!"

Lin Quan judged that he could play about 75 minutes. He could play 10 to [-] minutes in the Telecom Cup before.

As long as the opponent doesn't suddenly accelerate in the second half of the game, and the two sides don't fall into that kind of fast-paced confrontation, then there should be no problem.

The second half of the game started quickly, and Hannover, unwilling to lose at home, really stepped up their offensive efforts.

They replaced a defensive midfielder and put on a striker, putting on a desperate posture.

Amidst the cheers of the home fans, Hannover's offensive was like a wave, and the wave was stronger than the wave.

In the 66th minute of the game, Hannover took a corner kick, and there were actually eight offensive players in Werder Bremen's penalty area competing for the top.

Although they failed to grab the first landing point, they grabbed the second landing point.

Fortunately, the goalkeeper Millitz performed bravely and saved the opponent's header from close range.

However, the crisis in front of Werder Bremen's goal was not resolved, and the saved ball was won by the opponent.

It was Millitz again. Seeing the opponent swinging his leg to shoot, he almost subconsciously stretched out his leg to block it, and took this must-go goal.

The home fans couldn't help but sigh, they were just a little short of scoring, but the damn goalkeeper of the other side shattered their hopes.

However, Hannover's offensive wave did not end.

As coach Schaff emphasized before the game, Hannover is a team with a very tenacious fighting spirit. They have a very strange phenomenon, that is, their performance in the second half is often better than that in the first half.

It feels like I didn't wake up in the first half, playing football with sleepiness.

But in the second half there was a sudden awakening.

For as long as 5 minutes, they launched consecutive attacks against Werder Bremen's goal.

Finally, in the 66th minute of the game, Hannover midfielder Andreasen shot a cold arrow from outside the penalty area and scored with a long shot. The score became 3:2.
Sure enough, Hannover's home court is not so easy to conquer!
