Chapter 127 The Koreans Who Humiliated Themselves

After defeating Dortmund, Werder Bremen had no time to rest and immediately faced the challenge of Augsburg.

The 24th round of the Bundesliga is only 2 days away from the German Cup they just finished. Werder Bremen experienced three games a week for the first time this season.

After continuous hard battles, the players' physical fitness is the biggest test they face now.

During the daily training within the team, the coaching staff was worried when they saw the players looking exhausted.

"The schedule is too intensive, and we have played two strong teams, Bayern Munich and Dortmund, in a row. The physical exertion of the players is far beyond ordinary games. I am afraid this game will not be easy to play!"

Schaaf nodded, looking at the players training on the field, frowning and thinking about how to arrange tomorrow's starting lineup.

Hunter received a red card and was suspended, and Dortmund also filed a complaint for additional punishment. The competition committee is investigating that game, and he is likely to face a multi-game suspension.

In addition, the team's left winger Elia strained his thigh in the last game and needs to rest for two to three weeks.

This means that they need two substitutes in the frontcourt.

Moreover, Lin Quan and De Bruyne continued to fight fiercely, and he was also worried about the state of these two people.

The two of them cannot be injured easily. If they are injured, Werder Bremen's record will be greatly affected.

Huh?

It's strange, why is that boy different from others, why can't he show signs of fatigue?

Schaff was originally worried about the physical condition of Lin Quan and De Bruyne. After all, the experienced veterans of the team were unable to sustain their physical fitness after repeated fierce battles.

These two young men lack experience in dealing with an intensive schedule and cannot reasonably allocate their physical fitness. Their physical condition should be worse.

But what did he see?

Lin Quan was alive and kicking, not feeling tired at all.

On the other hand, the sluggish De Bruyne was in line with his judgment.

Scharf also couldn't figure out why Lin Quanhui was okay. Obviously in the previous games, he ran a long distance, and they were all accelerated sprints that required a lot of physical energy.

It stands to reason that his physical condition should be worse than De Bruyne, but the result is exactly the opposite.

In the end, he could only attribute it to Lin Quan's diligent daily exercise. He heard from Lin Quan's host family that Lin Quan took time to train physically every day.

No pain, no gain, with such a training attitude, it is understandable that he can make such progress.

The condition of the team members was not good, so Schaff simply clapped his hands and stopped everyone's training:

"The training volume this afternoon will be halved. After completing this set of training, you can go back to rest.

The time to report to the team tomorrow morning will be postponed to 10:30. Have a good rest tonight and don’t waste your energy on places that shouldn’t be wasted, especially those young players. Don’t let me hear the news about any of you appearing in the nightclub, otherwise If so, you know the consequences! "

Schaff's words brought cheers from the players, who were especially excited about the news that tomorrow's practice time would be postponed.

I can finally sleep in tonight!

However, everyone has not forgotten Schaaf's final warning. Those players who like to go to nightclubs and have fun have to restrain themselves at this time and do not dare to commit crimes against the trend.

Lin Quan has level two physical talent. His physical recovery speed is much faster than that of ordinary players, so he doesn't feel tired at all.

Therefore, when the team was on holiday, Lin Quan did not leave the training base early, but chose to stay and practice alone.

In the past, De Bruyne would stay and train with him, but De Bruyne was so tired today that he didn't even want to move a finger. He really couldn't kick, so he had to go back to rest.

Also staying at the club is Schaff, who is thinking hard about tomorrow's starting lineup. He is sitting in his office and looking through the office window at the young man training hard on the training ground.

The golden sunset shines over the Weser River, illuminating the training base on the left bank of the Weser, dragging the shadow of the young man on the court very long...

…

On March 2, at 16:30 in the afternoon, the Weser Arena was packed.

Although this is just a very ordinary league, the opponent is not a powerful player at the top of the standings.

However, Werder Bremen fans' enthusiasm for watching the game has not diminished at all. There is not a single empty seat in the stadium that can accommodate 50,000 spectators.

Tickets for the game were sold out a day ago, and some fans who did not buy tickets in advance even had to buy tickets at high prices from scalpers outside the stadium.

This season, as Werder Bremen's record gets better and better, the fans' enthusiasm for watching football is also getting higher and higher.

In their last game, they eliminated Dortmund at home and reached the German Cup semi-finals, giving fans hope of the team winning the championship trophy.

Fans of the Parrots understand that the team's twin stars are likely to leave the team after the end of this season.

If you don't come to watch their games in person, you won't have the chance in the future.

Such a historical combination of forward and midfielder has never been seen in the history of Werder Bremen.

Therefore, if you can come and watch their games live, you will miss out on such an opportunity!

Before the game even started, Lin Quan felt the enthusiasm of the fans.

When he came on the stage, he received a standing ovation from the fans.

The Augsburg players on the opposite side looked at this 17-year-old boy in surprise, wondering: How could this guy be so popular at Werder Bremen at such a young age?

The two Korean players Ji Dongyuan and Gu Jizhe in the Augsburg team looked at each other, and they both saw the dissatisfaction and fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

We are also of the yellow race, but we are older than him and debuted earlier than him. Why can he be the core of Werder Bremen, but we are still worried about the starting position?

Although both of them played for Augsburg, they were not Augsburg players.

The team that Koo Zizhe signed with was Wolfsburg, but Wolfsburg felt that he was not good enough to be a starter, so they loaned him to Augsburg at a low price and let him practice in Augsburg.

As for Chi Dongyuan, he is a player for the Premier League team Sunderland. The latter also felt that he could not adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League, so he was also loaned to Augsburg for training.

Two South Korean national team internationals met on the same team in a foreign country and planned to have a big fight.

As a result, after 23 rounds, Augsburg was third from the bottom, a full 9 points behind Wolfsburg, which was fourth from the bottom.

With 10 rounds left in the league, it would be impossible for them to tie these nine points.

If they really had this strength, they wouldn't be stuck in the relegation zone before.

In this game, taking advantage of Werder Bremen's continuous fierce battles and poor state, Augsburg had some ideas.

They had a 3:3 draw with Werder Bremen at home in the seventh round of the league. If it weren't for bad luck that allowed the opponent to chase three goals in a row, the victory in that game should belong to them.

It was precisely because of that encounter that Augsburg felt that Werder Bremen was nothing special.

How strong can it be if a bottom team like us can score three goals?

Therefore, in this game, they turned against the visitors and launched a fierce attack on Werder Bremen's penalty area.

When Shaf saw that the other party had arranged this tactic, he felt happy.

The team's physical fitness was not good and they were unable to use pressure-attack tactics, so he arranged for the team to defend and counterattack.

Although it is a bit embarrassing to play defensive counterattack against a relegation team at home, there is no other way. Results are more important now.

Third-placed Dortmund has a strong momentum during this period and is going all out to grab points.

Werder Bremen's second place position is not solid. If Dortmund catches up, it will be difficult for them to overtake the opponent in the second half of the season due to Dortmund's state.

Moreover, the point difference between fourth-place Schalke 04 and them is not very big. Taking advantage of their consecutive losses to Dortmund and Bayern, the opponent has caught up a lot.

If Werder Bremen continues to lose, they might not even be able to keep their third place position.

Although the Bundesliga has four Champions League places, the fourth place has to play play-offs with other leagues. Only by winning the play-offs can they advance to the Champions League main draw.

There is a risk of losing. After all, no team in other leagues can stand out and reach this stage, and no one is easy to mess with.

At this time, Schaff breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Augsburg chose to press and attack.

This game is settled!

On the other side, on the Augsburg coaching bench, seeing Werder Bremen's players being completely suppressed by their own players, the visiting team's coach also felt stable.

As predicted before the game, Werder Bremen's players were in poor physical condition and were obviously out of shape during the game.

I, Augsburg, can't beat the parrot army that is in full form, so why can't I bully the parrot army that is out of form?

We will definitely win this game!

In the first fifteen minutes of the game, Augsburg always had the advantage.

Werder Bremen's players seemed to have not woken up, just running half a beat slower than others.

They were like an old, rusty machine that was just barely functioning and still running.

Losing seems to be a matter of time!

"This guy looks like this. How can he be as powerful as the outside world says?"

Gu Zizhe and Ji Dongyuan saw Werder Bremen being suppressed by their own team, and Lin Quan failed to make any waves on the court.

They began to feel contempt in their hearts, feeling that the other party was nothing more than that.

The reason why the other party is so famous is entirely due to the flattery of those unscrupulous reporters!

However, just when the two thought they had a chance to win, the situation on the field suddenly changed.

Werder Bremen successfully stole the ball in the backcourt and the football was quickly passed to De Bruyne's feet.

After De Bruyne got rid of the defensive player, he used the least effort to pass the ball to Lin Quan's feet.

Lin Quan got the ball!

Ju Zizhe played as a central midfielder and was closest to Lin Quan. When he saw Lin Quan getting the ball, he immediately chose to move closer.

He felt that with his physical fitness, as long as he had a little physical confrontation, wouldn't it be easy to stop the opponent?

When he was in the Korean national team, he played like this when he met players from the Chinese team.

Few of the Chinese team's international players could withstand the collision between him and his teammates.

Not to mention them, even the Japanese team next door with a better record couldn't withstand their impact.

In terms of physical fitness, the Republic of Korea is the best in East Asia, okay?

Ju Zizhe rushed forward with confidence!

In his mind, he had already started imagining the scene where he easily knocked over Lin Quan and shocked the whole crowd.

Hum, Chinese boy, let me expose your true face and let the whole world see this huge weakness of yours!

Seeing Ju Zizhe rushing toward him, Lin Quan adjusted his body slightly and faced the opponent with his shoulders.

With a bang, the two collided head-on.

The sound was so loud that it spread throughout the entire venue through the close-range sound collection equipment on site.

The fans at the scene were in an uproar and were filled with worry.

Lin Quan was ten centimeters shorter than the Korean opposite him, and the other guy took the initiative to rush up and hit him.

In such a collision, he would suffer a big loss, right?

On the sidelines, Augsburg's head coach saw Gu Zizhe's choice and nodded with satisfaction.

This Korean boy plays very smart!

Werder Bremen's No. 10 doesn't have any physical confrontation ability at first glance, and he has been avoiding physical collisions with Augsburg players before.

This should be his Achilles' heel!

But this time, the Koreans hit it like this and just caught the opponent's weakness before attacking. Not only could they destroy Werder Bremen's counterattack, but they could also completely expose the opponent's weakness.

When other Bundesliga teams encounter Werder Bremen in the future, they will choose to learn this tactic!

The head coach of Augsburg looked at the collision between the two with great anticipation, looking forward to seeing what he wanted to see.

Then they saw one of the two people bounce back as if he hit a wall!

However, to his and everyone's surprise, it was not Lin Quan who was knocked away in the collision, but Gu Zizhe.

The latter was hit by Lin Quan and staggered several steps before he could stand still. He sat on the ground and looked at Lin Quan in disbelief as he passed by him.

Why! ?

Why was it me who was knocked away?

Ten thousand question marks appeared in Ju Zizhe's mind, and he couldn't figure out why.

The audience at the scene was also in an uproar!

Werder Bremen fans were relieved when they saw this scene.

The Augsburg fans, especially the Korean fans, were disappointed.

Why did our Ku Zizhe lose in the physical confrontation?

In fact, as long as they watch a few more Lin Quan games, they won't feel that the opponent's physical confrontation is weak.

Although Lin Quan is not tall, his weight is not light at all.

He weighs 74 kilograms, which is rare for a player of his height.

In addition, he learned some defensive skills from Guardiola during the winter break, including how to make full use of his body for confrontation.

After learning these skills, he is like a little tank, with strong physical confrontation capabilities.

Although Gu Zizhe is ten centimeters taller than him, Gu Zizhe weighs only 75 kilograms, which is only one kilogram heavier than Lin Quan.

Even though their weights were almost the same, Lin Quan, who was faster and had a lower center of gravity, naturally took the initiative in the physical confrontation.

Gu Zizhe underestimated Lin Quan's physical confrontation ability and overestimated his own physical confrontation ability. Therefore, Koreans who wanted to knock Lin Quan down with their bodies and humiliate the opponent had no choice but to humiliate themselves.

"idiot!"

Seeing that Gu Zizhe failed in the physical confrontation, Augsburg's coach cursed angrily.

But he soon lost his mind to blame the Koreans, because Lin Quan had already dribbled the ball into their penalty area!
