Chapter 5 Exactly like Messi!
On the sidelines of the training ground, Russell and Enrique were chatting.
"Guardiola is gone and Vilanova will take over the team next season, but Vilanova is not in good health and may not last long."
Russell's eyes swept over the young players playing in the youth training field, and he said casually to the youth team coach Enrique.
It is a tradition for Barcelona to promote talents and coaches from the youth training echelon. As the coach of Barcelona's youth team, Enrique has a good chance of becoming the coach of the first team.
Enrique's eyes lit up after hearing his words, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Barcelona is currently one of the best and strongest clubs in football.
Being able to coach such a top team is simply a dream for a young coach like him.
Especially for a coach like him who has a strong Barcelona brand, he may not be able to achieve good results when he goes to coach other teams.
Enrique once left Barcelona, but his coaching experience in Serie A was not smooth.
After a failed season at Roma, he was fired and had to return to Barcelona.
Just when he came back, Guardiola resigned and left, which gave Enrique hope.
He inquired that the club planned to choose one of him and Martino as the club's coach.
Vilanova is destined to be just an over-coach and will not stay in the head coach position for too long.
Therefore, as long as he can defeat Martino, the position of Barcelona coach will be in his pocket.
To defeat Martino in the competition, it is crucial to obtain the support of the club president.
"Chairman, don't worry, I will do my best to cooperate with your work!"
Enrique reacted quickly, and after hearing Russell's hint, he immediately expressed his loyalty to the other party.
For him, he only needs to work as Barcelona coach for a few years and achieve some impressive results.
He already has a glorious resume of coaching a wealthy club, which will be of great help to him in finding a job in the future.
If he can lead Barcelona to win the Champions League, then he may surpass Guardiola and become a new generation of legendary young coach!
When he thought of this, Enrique looked at Russell with eager eyes.
"Well, very good, Louis, I really saw you right!"
Russell nodded with satisfaction, and then said casually:
"I heard that there is a young player in the echelon who has a close relationship with Guardiola. Is this true?"
Enrique nodded quickly, pointed at Lin Quan who was training on the training ground and replied:
"Yes, the young player wearing jersey No. 4, he is Guardiola's adopted son!"
"Oh, I see!"
Russell nodded slightly and gave the order in an understatement:
"Since Guardiola is no longer in the club, let's get rid of the connected players who came in due to his nepotism. We at Barcelona don't need such connected players!"
Enrique opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.
Although he wanted to be fair to Lin Quan, the opponent was good and not a relevant player.
With his strength, there is absolutely no problem in establishing a foothold in Barcelona's youth team.
However, the club president does not like him. To be precise, the president does not like Guardiola.
And he and Guardiola have an adoptive father-son relationship, so he can't blame others for being affected.
"Yes, Chairman, I know what to do!"
Russell nodded and agreed to the matter.
"Handle it nicely, I don't want to be gossiped about!"
Russell patted him on the shoulder, left without saying a word.
Enrique looked at the other person's leaving figure and couldn't help cursing in his heart.
As soon as Guardiola left, the club was about to get rid of his adopted son.
If this matter spreads, the impact will be very bad.
And as the person who single-handedly handled this matter, if he didn't handle it well, he would probably be blamed for it.
So, how can we complete the tasks assigned by the club chairman without taking the blame and being scolded?
He quickly thought of a way!
Find a weaker team to loan Lin Quan out and let him play in the first team.
As long as he cannot gain a foothold in the first team, Barcelona can take the opportunity to terminate the contract.
No one can say anything at that time. After all, he can't gain a foothold in such a small team, so how can he gain a foothold in a top club like Barcelona?
In this way, even if you clean him up, you won't be scolded.
Thinking of this, Enrique couldn't help but feel proud of his intelligence.
As expected of me!
So he waved to assistant coach Jordi Branca and said to him:
"Blanca, where are the loan applications submitted by other teams?"
"Inside your office!"
"Well, okay, you just stay here and keep an eye on me, I'll be back as soon as I go!"
Enrique left directly after saying that.
And just when he turned to leave, Lin Quan completed a wonderful breakthrough on the wing.
Because he was assigned to the substitute side, Lin Quan faced the main defensive lineup of the youth team.
Everyone has played together, so the youth team players know Lin Quan's characteristics very well.
His body is not strong enough and his ability to fight is not strong enough.
Therefore, when defending him, you can actively attack him, directly use physical confrontation to hinder his advancement, and even steal his ball.
In the past, when an opponent did this, Lin Quan would immediately distribute the ball to reduce the time he held the ball and not give the opponent a chance for physical confrontation.
He is an organizational midfielder, as long as he has good enough passing and ball control skills, excellent awareness and overall view.
Then if you have a certain interception ability, that's it.
It is unrealistic to expect him to break through like a winger.
But today, when receiving a pass from his teammate, he almost subconsciously pushed the ball outward with the instep of his outside foot. At the same time, he lowered his right shoulder and made a move to break through from the right sideline.
Raphinha, who was guarding him, was stunned for a moment, because this is a common move for wingers to break through from the outside.
Is the other party planning to get rid of me?
He immediately stopped and moved laterally, intending to block the position and squeeze the opponent out of the sideline.
But he had just made this move when Lin Quan immediately spiked the ball and the football slid past his right.
Because the ball was right next to his right foot, Rafinha almost subconsciously stretched his foot to stop the ball.
But he forgot that his body was moving sideways at this time. As soon as he lifted his right foot, his body twisted into a twist and he fell to the ground with a snap.
Lin Quanheqiu also successfully completed the wing breakthrough.
Wow!
When Lin Quan knocked down Rafinha, all the players, including the coach on the sidelines, were stunned.
They all had a feeling in their minds:
Why does Lin Quan's way of playing football feel exactly the same as Messi's?
