Chapter 461 During Christmas vacation, De Bruyne hides his beauty in the golden house

As Christmas approaches, major leagues have started their winter break.

Many football stars began to post photos of themselves on vacation with their families and girlfriends online.

However, in the Premier League, not only do everyone not have a holiday, but they also have to prepare for the intensive schedule during the Christmas holiday.

The veteran players are used to this, but some foreign players who have just joined the team seem a little uncomfortable.

"Brother Lin, will the coach give everyone a day off today?"

During training on the morning of December 24, Sun Xingmin approached Lin Quan and asked him for information.

When other teammates who were training heard Son Heung-min's words, they all raised their ears and were obviously very curious.

"What? You want to go out on a date with a girl?"

Lin Quan glanced at Son Heung-min.

This kid usually trains very seriously, but today he has been absent-minded since the morning, and he seems to have something on his mind at first glance.

"Ahem, isn't it Christmas tomorrow? This holiday seems to be quite important to Westerners..."

Son Heung-min blushed when asked by Lin Quan, feeling a little embarrassed.

Lin Quan understood immediately when he saw the other party's appearance.

"It's quite important, but we have a game on the 26th, and there are only two days left before the game. Generally speaking, the coach usually doesn't take a day off two days before the game."

"Huh? Is that so?"

Lin Quan's answer made Sun Xingmin look disappointed. Since Lin Quan said so, then 80% of it is true.

"Well, I'm just talking about the general situation. Considering that our next opponent is Sunderland, it is still possible to have half a day off!"

Sunderland is not strong and basically cannot pose a threat to Manchester City. In addition, Manchester City is playing at home, which saves the bumps and exhaustion of traveling and traveling in away games, so Guardiola may be more lenient.

"I hope so, thank you, Brother Lin!"

Lin Quan's answer gave Son Heung-min a glimmer of hope. During training, he frequently peeked at head coach Guardiola, as if he wanted to see if Guardiola would really give them a half-day off.

Guardiola was discussing with several assistant coaches on the sidelines the arrangements for appearances from Christmas to New Year's Day.

Rotation is definitely needed, and it may be a large-scale rotation, because within these 6 days, they have 3 games to play, including a top-place battle with Leicester City.

This game is very important, so Guardiola must ensure that when the team goes to challenge Leicester City away from home, the whole team is in the best condition.

Therefore, in the game against Sunderland the day after tomorrow, he is likely to make early substitutions based on the situation of the game to ensure that the main players maintain good physical condition.

This also means that Manchester City's substitutes and rotation players need to step up.

"Why do these guys feel so distracted?"

Guardiola soon discovered something strange about the players. Although many of them were on the training ground, their minds had already flown to nowhere.

"It's like this without a winter break. Players, especially new players, are very resistant to having to play games during the holidays without a winter break. What they want to do most now is to go home like players in other leagues. Reunite with loved ones or even go on holiday to an island in the Mediterranean.”

An assistant coach from the UK said that he has seen this phenomenon too many times in the Premier League for so many years.

"is that so?"

Guardiola has been in Manchester City for a relatively short time. He didn't notice this problem last year. Only this year did he really realize the huge impact that the lack of winter break had on the team and players.

"Forget it, give them half a day off. Looking at them like this, it's just a waste of time!"

Guardiola shook his head, walked to the training ground, clapped his hands, called the players together, and then announced his decision to take a half-day off.

"Remember, we will gather at the training ground at 10:30 tomorrow morning. I don't want to see anyone late."

After Guardiola made the announcement, the players suddenly cheered.

"Ouch, long live the coach!"

"Coach I love you!"

Even if it only takes half a day, it is already very precious for them who are eager to return home.

"Brother Lin, you are really amazing!"

Sun Xingmin was also very excited. He gave Lin Quan a thumbs up and hurried to the locker room to change clothes.

Judging from the anxious look on this kid, he must be on a date with his girlfriend.

Not long ago, he also saw a report in The Sun, saying that Son Heung-min was caught by paparazzi while driving on a date with his girlfriend during the national team game.

Son Heung-min is now considered the No. 1 figure in the Premier League, and The Sun likes to report these tidbits. This report also attracted some attention in the UK.

After fans saw the figure of Son Heung-min's rumored girlfriend, every one of them was envious and jealous. They all felt that Son Heung-min was the winner in life!

Lin Quan was not interested in other people's privacy. When his teammates left, he did not leave immediately, but continued training.

De Bruyne is really interesting. Seeing that Lin Quan didn't leave, he stayed to train with him.

However, when he went to the cafeteria to eat at noon, Lin Quan discovered that De Bruyne was missing.

"Hey, Kevin, where's the man?"

"Of course I'm going home. Didn't the coach already say we have a holiday?"

De Bruyne on the other end of the phone was confused. The coach had announced a holiday. If I don't go home, can I still stay in the team?

"Is there anyone at home?"

"no one!"

"Huh?"

"Are you talking about Caroline? I broke up with him!"

"oh!"

A raging fire of gossip ignited in Lin Quan's heart. He was not interested in other people's privacy, but he was full of interest in the affairs of De Bruyne and his girlfriend.

The reason is simple, De Bruyne's girlfriend may have cuckolded him!

Poor De Bruyne, can't he escape the fate of being cheated after all?

Thinking of this, Lin Quan had no intention of training anymore and hurriedly drove to De Bruyne's home to find out about the situation.

However, when he arrived, he was stunned!

"I seem to have come at the wrong time?"

De Bruyne is not the only one in his family, there is also a beautiful woman.

The two behaved intimately, as if they were a couple.

"Ahem, Michelle just arrived. Do you believe what I say?"

De Bruyne has a habit of lowering his head and touching his nose when he lies.

"I believe it, of course I believe it, I just came here to give you Christmas gifts!"

After Lin Quan finished speaking, he took out two gifts prepared in advance and stuffed them into De Bruyne's hands.

Now that De Bruyne was accompanied, Lin Quan did not stay to be a light bulb and drove away immediately.

"Kevin, why don't you let your friend come in and sit down?"

Michelle had just gone to make tea for Lin Quan and prepare to entertain him, but when she brought out the tea, Lin Quan had already left.

"I forgot!"

De Bruyne scratched his head. He didn't know what happened just now. The two of them were obviously very familiar with each other, but he felt nervous, as if someone caught him doing something bad. He actually forgot to invite the other party to come in and sit down, and didn't give the other party a gift in return. .

De Bruyne's explanation left Michelle a little speechless, but after getting along with De Bruyne for a long time, she also knew De Bruyne's character, so she didn't say much, and just took out two carefully prepared Gift, instruct De Bruyne to bring it to coach Lin Quan and coach when he goes to the team tomorrow.

Back home, the huge villa was empty.

Serra returned to Spain early with several younger brothers and sisters. It seems that Guardiola, a workaholic, is still working overtime at the club.

Lin Quan took off his coat, turned on the light in the living room, sat on the sofa and turned on the TV out of boredom.

Highlights of the last round of the Premier League game were being played on TV, and Lin Quan saw himself and Sun Xingmin in it.

Hearing the host and commentator's embarrassing remarks about him, he felt a little speechless.

My goal in the last game was not exciting at all, but it was included in the highlight reel. Is it because of his fame that he was given preferential treatment?

Compared with these opponents in the Premier League, Lin Quan is more interested in opponents in other leagues.

So I took a look at the game highlights of Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga in the past few weeks. Messi and Ronaldo have performed very well in the past month.

Ronaldo showed his true qualities as a top killer under Zidane.

His scoring efficiency has become even higher this season. The offensive tactics created by Zidane for the team have allowed Ronaldo to shine on the front line, scoring goals like crazy and eating everything until he vomited.

Although they failed to reach the semi-finals last year, this year, Real Madrid, whose strength seems to be even better, is definitely an opponent that cannot be underestimated.

As for Barcelona, ​​Messi also performed very well after returning from injury, and even had the momentum to return to the top.

Neymar's departure made the burden on his shoulders heavier, but the huge pressure also caused Messi to begin to transform. He began to become more and more comprehensive, and his offensive and organizational abilities were greatly enhanced.

At a time when Suarez has not yet passed his prime, the combination of Messi and Suarez is still a terrifying offensive combination, whether in La Liga or the Champions League.

No team can underestimate them when facing them.

Compared with the two teams in the Western Premier League, although Atletico Madrid has no big-name stars, under Simeone's training, the entire team has become a unified team and is like an army on the court. , orders and prohibitions, strict discipline.

This team has lost its status as a dark horse and has gradually become the third giant in La Liga. Even in the whole of Europe, the number of teams that are sure to beat them is no more than one palm!

The three heroes of La Liga all look very strong. If we meet them in the quarterfinals or the semifinals, it will be a really difficult game.

The most worrying thing is that if you are unlucky and encounter only this kind of tough guy along the way, then by the time Manchester City reaches the final, they may have been exhausted.

La Liga is as famous as the Premier League, and even slightly superior to the Premier League, so the outside world has pinned its hopes of resisting the British on La Liga teams.

However, in addition to the three heroes of La Liga, Bayern of the Bundesliga and Paris Saint-Germain of the French Ligue 1 also seem to be strong this season and are not easy to mess with.

After the introduction of Neymar, Paris now needs people and money, and the only thing missing is the championship.

In order to build momentum for the Qatar World Cup, the Qataris very much hope that Paris can aspire to the top of Europe.

To this end, they have already invested more than one billion euros and do not mind spending so much more money.

However, although Paris Saint-Germain has become much stronger this season, its hope of winning the Champions League is still slim.

In the previous group stage, they failed to defeat Real Madrid, which shows that it is difficult for them to take advantage when facing Europe's top teams.

There are still three teams at the same level as Real Madrid. Once they encounter these teams, it is difficult to say whether Paris can survive. If they fail, they will have to fight again next year.

When watching the Paris match highlights, Lin Quan also paid special attention to another team in Ligue 1 - Monaco!

Although Monaco did not reach the Champions League main draw this year, they fell in the Champions League play-offs.

So what interests Lin Quan is obviously not this team, but a young player in their team-Kylian Mbappe.

Influenced by Lin Quan, Mbappé entered the Ligue 1 stage earlier than in history.

And thanks to the fact that Monaco was eliminated by Valencia in the Champions League play-offs, plus PSG dominates Ligue 1.

Monaco has no hope of winning the championship, has no worries about relegation, and has little competition pressure, so it has plenty of time to train new players.

Affected by this, Mbappe's number of appearances and playing time in Ligue 1 have steadily increased.

This season he has played a total of 8 times on behalf of Monaco, including 4 times in Ligue 1 and 4 times in the cup.

In these eight appearances, Mbappe scored a total of 2 goals.

Even though his scoring efficiency seems to be low, he is still just a child.

He is only 17 years old this year, and he has already broken the record for being able to play, let alone score goals?

Therefore, Mbappe, who broke the record for the youngest goal scorer in Ligue 1, naturally attracted the attention of many teams.

Ligue 1 regards him as the star of hope for the future of the French team. Even the French team coach Deschamps personally went to Monaco to watch his game.

After watching his game, Deschamps was full of praise for him.

Mbappe's outstanding performance not only shocked Deschamps, but also made retired Henry praise him.

The youngest goal record that Mbappe broke in Ligue 1 was set by Henry in Monaco.

Therefore, the outside world links these two people. They are both wingers and are also known for their speed. They have many similarities. It seems understandable that people regard Mbappe as another Henry.

Although Monaco is not French territory, Mbappe is a genuine Frenchman.

As long as he continues to grow, it is certain that he will become a French international one day.

And once Mbappe can really grow to the height of Henry, the future French team will be too scary!

In recent years, the French team has experienced an explosion of talents on all lines. Stars such as Pogba and Griezmann are rapidly rising, and Deschamps' French team is dominated by young people.

Many people predict that the French team is likely to become Spain's gravediggers in the future!
