Chapter 19 The system cheated again

On July 20, after two weeks of team training, the club attracted its first opponent in the warm-up match - Cottbus.

For Werder Bremen, choosing Cottbus as the first opponent in the warm-up match was obviously a well-thought-out decision.

This is a club from the Bundesliga 2. They were briefly promoted to the Bundesliga and played for two seasons, but due to lack of strength, they were quickly relegated.

This opponent is not strong, probably half a level weaker than Werder Bremen.

Playing with them will help the team's young players build up their confidence. The team's old players have left too many in the new season and they have to rely on these young players to make a difference.

However, the mentality of young players is not stable enough, and it is easy for them to collapse in the middle and late seasons. Just like Arsenal, which is crazy about securing the fourth place. Every year, it is as strong as a tiger in the first half of the season and like a dog in the second half. I don't know why, but suddenly collapses.

In addition to helping the team's young players build confidence, by choosing a weaker opponent, their own rear line will not be greatly impacted, and they can focus more on offense and better test the ball. The results of the team’s offensive tactics.

In this game, Lin Quan and De Bruyne were both selected into the squad.

The difference is that De Bruyne entered the starting lineup, while Lin Quan was only a substitute.

Lin Quan's mentality was very calm about this. He didn't expect to get the starting position as soon as he came up. After all, his current physical fitness is not enough to play the whole game.

It is much easier to be a substitute, come on at a critical moment in the second half, and take advantage of the opponent's reduced physical fitness to open up the situation than it is to start and fight with physically strong opponents.

"Ting Ding, come on, keep an eye on you!"

Lin Quan pumped his fist to cheer De Bruyne up, and De Bruyne nodded shyly.

The game started soon. A total of 23,000 spectators came to the Weser Stadium for this friendly match, and more than half of the seats were empty.

This is not surprising, after all, the team has left many old players, and now it is playing friendly matches with lower-level leagues, which is not very attractive to fans.

After the game started, Werder Bremen quickly took the initiative.

Cottbus chose to retreat to their own half and play defensive counterattack.

This is a very pragmatic choice. When a weaker team faces a strong team, if it rushes out to fight against the opponent without overestimating its capabilities, it will easily be defeated by the opponent.

Especially when facing a team with strong offensive capabilities like Werder Bremen, if the defense is not strengthened and a tragedy is suffered by the opponent, it will have a very negative impact on the mentality of the team players in the new season.

"They really chose to defend!"

Assistant coach Rolf frowned and spoke nervously.

"Well, no surprise!"

Scharf was very calm, as if he had already anticipated his opponent's choice.

"There are too many defensive players in the opponent's backcourt. We can't penetrate the ground. We can only pass from the sideline, but the effect is probably not good!"

Another assistant coach, Hernebach, is also very worried. Breaking dense defense is a worldwide problem. He is very worried about whether these young guys on the field can cope with this problem.

"Now it depends on whether these young guys can withstand the pressure and open up the situation!"

Schaaf sat on the coach's bench, folding his arms on his chest, calmly watching the performance of the players on the field.

This and the next few warm-up games are important references to help him determine the starting lineup for the new season.

Who has strong ability and outstanding performance can be easily seen in actual combat.

The capable are promoted and the mediocre are demoted. This season Werder Bremen will resolutely implement this principle.

Moreover, even if the team is temporarily unable to open up the situation, he is not worried because he still has a trump card in his hand that has not been played.

Thinking of this, Scharf turned his head and looked at Lin Quan, who was sitting on the bench and watching the game intently.

He was looking forward to what kind of surprise this little guy, who had surpassed countless others on the training ground, would bring to him in actual combat.

On the bench, Lin Quan seemed to be watching the game with concentration.

But if you look closely, you will find that the focus of his eyes is not on the playing field.

Yes, Lin Quan was distracted.

At the moment when the referee blew the whistle, the dog system, which had been silent for two months, cheated again.

There was no "ding" sound, and there was no sudden task release or anything like that.

But a perceptible module appeared in Lin Quan's consciousness.

After Lin Quan curiously spread his consciousness, this module unfolded in his mind.

After the module is opened, something similar to an operation interface appears inside.

It looks like a game, and the protagonist of the game seems to be himself.

Clicking on the player information column, what popped up was indeed his information.

Name: Lin Quan

Age: 16 years and 153 days

Birthday: February 20, 1996

Nationality: Spanish

Field position: TBD

Club: Barcelona

League: Bundesliga

Number of league appearances: 0

National team appearances: 0

Current template: Messi

…

The first half of the information was nothing special, but the last column surprised Lin Quan.

The current template is easy to understand, but does the emergence of this word mean that the template of other football champions can be replaced in the future?

Regarding this issue, Lin Quan sent an inquiry to the system.

[Theoretically, it is possible, but in practice it is not possible, because the previous ball champions have retired, their abilities have dropped significantly, and they are no longer able to reach the level of ball champions, so their attributes cannot be copied. 】

Uh, okay, this is in line with reality. After all, the King of Football template is not so easy to obtain!

With the template of peak Messi, Lin Quan is already very content.

So he started studying other things on its interface.

In addition to the player information column, there are two other modules.

A task module and a system mall.

This system is really lazy. With just these three things, how dare you claim to be the best player in the world?

Having said that, he still curiously clicked on the task module and found that there was an unread task reminder in it.

After clicking it, a system task pops up:

[Task introduction: The world champion did not appear in a day, just like Rome was not built in a day. They grew up through games and fights, and you are about to take the first step in your career! 】

[Task requirements: Appear in the match between Werder Bremen and Cottbus, and lead the team to victory. Completing the task will reward you with 1 point! 】

According to the introduction of the system, points are the key to opening the system mall.

If you accumulate enough points, you can open the system mall.

Not only that, the currency used to purchase items and equipment in the system mall is points.

Points can only be obtained from completing system tasks and winning games.

At first, Lin Quan didn't care much about this. He already had the template of Messi, so what kind of bicycle did he need?

What could be more fragrant than a Messi template?

So even without those junk gadgets in the system mall, he is still confident that he can become a new generation of ball king.

However, after visiting the system mall, Lin Quan had to shout: It smells so good!

Apart from anything else, the talents in the system mall, such as injury immunity, top prediction, immortality, big heart, Mr. Key, etc., are really great!
