Chapter 216 Lin Quanyue chases De Bruyne, and the twin stars join hands again!
Seeing the familiar name on the caller ID, De Bruyne hesitated, wondering if he should answer the call.
Thinking that he was about to leave the Premier League and return to the Bundesliga as a deserter, De Bruyne gritted his teeth and refused to answer Lin Quan's call.
He didn't know how to face each other at this time.
The two came to the Premier League at the same time, one is the Bundesliga Golden Boot, and the other is the Bundesliga assist leader.
As a result, in different teams, the fate of the two is completely different.
Lin Quan became the core of Manchester City. He led the team to achieve the most brilliant record in Manchester City's history, and because of this, he was recognized by the outside world and became the most watched superstar in football.
His trip to the Premier League was undoubtedly a success.
And what about yourself?
When he first came to the Premier League, he was full of spirits, but now he is depressed and decadent, and he has to flee the Premier League with his tail between his legs.
De Bruyne is a very strong person, but also a withdrawn and sensitive person.
If he had a normal relationship with Lin Quan, then he probably would have answered the call.
But the relationship between him and Lin Quan is too good. At this time, he doesn't know how to face this close friend, especially when the other party asks about his recent situation, he doesn't know how to answer.
Tell him directly that he can't adapt to the Premier League and can't get a chance to play at Chelsea, so he has to violate the original agreement between the two and leave the Premier League like a deserter?
forget it!
His self-esteem still allows him to do so!
……
"This kid, hung up his phone?"
On the phone side, seeing that his call was rejected, Lin Quan was a little surprised.
Something must have happened to De Bruyne.
Thinking of De Bruyne's character, Lin Quan became more and more sure of his judgment.
So he called Kompany.
Kompany was very surprised to receive a call from Lin Quan:
"What's the matter, Lin, is there anything you can do for me so late?"
"Sorry to disturb your rest, captain, I want to ask one thing, do you know De Bruyne's address in London?"
Kompany and De Bruyne are teammates of the national team, and Lin Quan feels that he may know some information.
"I'm not sure about this, but I can ask Courtois for you, he has a very good relationship with De Bruyne."
Lin Quan: "..."
Sharing a girlfriend, that relationship is indeed extraordinary!
Half an hour later, Kompany gave Lin Quan an address.
Lin Quan thought about it, although he could go to find someone tomorrow.
But next week is the match day of the FIFA national team. De Bruyne is the main midfielder of Belgium. He is likely to return to Belgium early.
In the case of him refusing to answer his call, based on Lin Quan's understanding of De Bruyne, he is likely to leave early to avoid being found by himself.
Thinking of this, Lin Quan didn't hesitate, and immediately went to the garage to pick up the car and headed straight to London.
Manchester is about 300 kilometers away from London. If you drive faster, you can get there in three hours.
Finally, at around one o'clock in the morning, Lin Quan arrived outside De Bruyne's residence.
Bang bang bang!
After Lin Quan glanced at the house number, he knocked vigorously on the door of De Bruyne's house.
This guy is probably already asleep at this time, and he might not be able to hear him without any effort.
However, to his surprise, with just one knock, the lights in De Bruyne's room turned on.
This guy is still awake at this point?
"Who?"
De Bruyne's vigilant voice came from behind the door.
The law and order in London is not good, anyone would feel nervous if someone knocked on the door like this in the middle of the night.
"I, Lin Quan!"
After Lin Quan reported his name, the room fell silent, and there was no sound from De Bruyne.
He didn't seem to expect that Lin Quanhui would find him from Manchester so soon, right?
"Don't pretend to be dead, I know you're inside, open the door quickly, or I'm going to hit the door with a car, you know, I've always been very mobile!"
With a creak, De Bruyne finally opened the door under Lin Quan's persecution.
"Is there anything to eat? After driving for hours, I'm a little hungry!"
After entering the door, Lin Quan glanced at De Bruyne and did not directly ask him what happened.
De Bruyne was caught off guard by him. He was ready to face the opponent's questioning, but he didn't expect that the opponent would not follow the routine.
"There's half a pizza in the fridge, but it's cold."
"Is there a microwave? Just heat it up. I'm not picky."
From the look of this guy, he doesn't look like a person who can cook at home. There is a high probability that this pizza is left over from the takeaway he ordered.
Lin Quan can cook by himself, but he only played games during the day, and drove for more than three hours from Manchester to London. The physical exertion along the way was extremely exhausting, and his sleepy eyelids were about to fight at this time. No energy to cook.
De Bruyne naturally has a microwave in his home, and within a few minutes, half of the hot pizza was served on the table.
Lin Quan didn't dislike it either, and looked at De Bruyne's residence while eating.
This is the first time he has come to De Bruyne's home. When he was a guest at Chelsea before, he wanted to come and see him.
But before that, the Manchester City team played three away games, and they were already exhausted, so they didn't stay in London after that game, and returned to Manchester directly, which caused Lin Quan's plan to fall through.
"Sit down, why are you so reserved in your own home?"
I saw De Bruyne standing aside nervously, neither sitting nor standing.
Lin Quan was a little amused by him.
Why does this guy look like a child who has done something wrong and is waiting to see his parents?
Am I that scary?
De Bruyne nodded and sat on the sofa.
Lin Quan pointed to the unfinished pizza and asked, "Do you want to eat it?"
De Bruyne shook his head.
After quickly resolving the battle, Lin Quan wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then looked around.
"Looking for what?"
This time De Bruyne took the initiative to ask.
"Of course I'm looking for a place to sleep. It's almost two o'clock in the evening, aren't you sleepy?"
De Blau said in his heart that I was very sleepy at first, but I was frightened by your sudden door, and now I have no sleep at all, not only not sleepy but also full of energy.
Ever since he rejected Lin Quan's call, De Bruy has been feeling uneasy in his heart, always feeling that something is going to happen.
As expected, something really happened!
He was very surprised that this guy Lin Quan came from Manchester overnight to meet him, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was reasonable.
That's really the guy's style of doing things.
It's just that the more he doesn't speak, the more disturbed De Bruy feels in his heart. There is always a feeling that he has done something wrong and is sorry for him.
Lin Quan yawned, he was really sleepy.
Fortunately, the next one is a holiday, so there is no need to play games, otherwise, if this toss tonight, I will definitely be out of shape tomorrow.
De Bruyne became more and more confused about the other party's purpose, he ate when he came, and slept after eating.
Didn't he come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime?
However, Lin Quan didn't open his mouth, and he didn't dare to ask.
So he had to take Lin Quan to the second bedroom to rest.
Lin Quan fell asleep, but De Bruyne was a little tossing and turning.
There was nothing to say all night, because the two of them slept very late, so when they woke up the next morning, it was already 09:30 in the morning.
"Morning, let's have breakfast, I made it!"
Looking at De Bruyne with panda eyes, Lin Quan greeted him, then took off his bib, washed his hands and sat down in front of the dining table.
De Bruyne took a look, toast, fried eggs, breakfast tea, and a large bowl of soup made of something unknown.
For Lin Quan's sake, De Bruyne tried to take a sip.
Eyes brighten up after drinking it!
When he first tasted it, he felt a little sour, but after the soup melted in his mouth, the sour taste turned into sweet. Two drank a big bowl.
"How is it, is it good to drink?"
"Yeah, it's delicious!"
"Hehe, this is called tomato egg soup. It is a delicious soup in Chinese food. It is cheap and delicious. If you like it, I will give you the recipe. You can try to learn it yourself!"
Seeing that De Bruyne was very interested in this soup, Lin Quan opened his mouth to introduce it to him.
Tomato and egg soup is the simplest kind of soup, and there are many people who like it.
Apart from pork liver and lean meat soup and radish and pig blood soup, this is Lin Quan's third favorite soup.
Compared to ordering takeaways outside or eating casually at home, today's breakfast is definitely the richest and most delicious breakfast that De Bruyne has eaten in recent times.
He never knew before that Lin Quan actually had such a skill.
Unexpectedly, this guy is not only good at playing football, but also good at cooking.
Thinking of this, De Bruyne felt even more ashamed.
"What time is your flight?"
Seeing that De Bruyne had already packed the suitcases in advance, Lin Quan guessed that he might take a flight back to Belgium to participate in the national team game today, so he asked a question.
"11:30 am."
"Refund, I can't get the ticket for this flight, you can change to the next flight!"
"Oh!"
De Bruyne did it honestly, and he didn't feel something was right until he bought the ticket.
"Wait, why did you buy the same flight as mine?"
"Why? Of course I plan to go to Belgium to see your performance in the national team!"
Lin Quan looked De Bruyne up and down:
"I'm curious, I haven't played a game for two months, can you guys still do it!"
……
Facts have proved that De Bruyne's state has been maintained very well.
In Belgium's friendly match against Colombia, he scored a goal and completed an assist to help the team draw the opponent 2:2.
In another game against the Japanese team, he scored twice and assisted a goal to help the team beat the opponent 3:2.
After watching the two games, Lin Quan has a solid understanding of De Bruyne's state.
Although this guy didn't get a chance to play at Chelsea, his training probably didn't fall behind, and he didn't show that kind of self-defeating behavior.
From the physical confrontation ability he showed in the game, Lin Quan feels that he has become stronger than when he first came to Chelsea.
Although there are still some problems in defense, as long as he is not used as a dedicated defensive player, his current defensive ability is completely qualified.
I really don't understand why Mourinho looks down on him!
De Bruyne at this time is at least half a grade stronger than De Bruyne in the same time period on the original plane.
Thinking of this, Lin Quan said directly to De Bruyne:
"Come to Manchester City, the two of us join hands and break out a new world of our own in Manchester City!"
Manchester City just needs a passing master to liberate Lin Quan.
And De Bruyne happens to have such an ability, coupled with his relationship with Lin Quan and the tacit understanding between the two, they are undoubtedly the most suitable partners.
"You followed me for seven or eight days just to talk about this?"
De Bruyne put his hands on his hips and looked at Lin Quan dumbfounded.
In order to so-called check his state, the other party insisted on staying with him for more than a week from Belgium.
De Bruyne suspects that Lin Quan has never been so attentive to his girlfriend, has he?
"You kid, don't you want to say that if I invite you on the first day, you will agree to me?"
"Of course, how could I refuse the invitation to fight side by side with you?"
De Bruyne smiled and held out his hand.
Lin Quan also laughed, and he also stretched out his hand, holding both hands together heavily.
At this moment, De Bruyne's cell phone rang.
It was his agent, Patrick.
"Kevin, Wolfsburg is most interested in you. Not only are they willing to promise you the main position, but they also offer the highest annual salary and bonus among the three teams!"
Patrick said excitedly that after some arduous negotiations, he successfully negotiated De Bruyne's annual salary of 450 million euros, which is already the highest-level annual salary of a first-class star.
No matter how high it is, it is the treatment of top stars, and De Bruyne's current reputation and strength are not up to the level of top stars, so it is impossible for him to get such a high salary.
Therefore, after negotiating this condition with Wolfsburg, Patrick is almost certain that De Bruyne will never refuse this annual salary.
Only when the winter break begins, Wolfsburg makes an offer to Chelsea, and after the two parties reach an agreement on the transfer fee, they can sign Wolfsburg.
Patrick thought that De Bruyne would be very happy to agree to this transfer, but to his surprise, before he finished the details of the contract, De Bruyne said firmly:
"No, I'm not going to Wolfsburg."
Patrick froze for a moment, thinking that De Bruyne still wanted to stay at Chelsea, so he tried to persuade him:
"Kevin, you should recognize the reality. You have no future at Chelsea. It is a good thing for you and the team to leave early."
De Bruyne nodded:
"Yes, that's what Lin told me!"
"Lin, which Lin?"
Patrick was stunned for a moment.
"Lin from Manchester City, he sent me an invitation!"
Patrick gasped, Manchester City seemed like a good place to go.
Their league and Champions League records are very good, and the relationship between the core of the team and De Bruyne is also good, and they will not be excluded like Chelsea.
However, can Manchester City take a fancy to De Bruyne?
He didn't prove his strength at Chelsea. Is Manchester City really willing to spend this money to buy someone?
Although the relationship between Lin Quan and De Bruyne is very good, he is just a player. Can he really influence the decision-making level of Manchester City and let them buy De Bruyne?
If they turned down the olive branch of the Bundesliga team, and Manchester City did not make a move during the winter break.
Wouldn't De Bruyne's situation be very embarrassing?
"I believe in him!"
De Bruyne's tone is extremely firm!
