An internal training match was currently going on at the training ground of Atletico Madrid.

Lin Rui was assigned to the substitute lineup of Team B.

His position was still the center forward at the front.

At the beginning of the game, Lin Rui felt the difference.

Compared with his previous games in the Spanish Second Division, the passing and receiving of the ball is faster, and the rhythm of offense and defense is also faster.

The proficiency of cooperation between teammates and the individual technical and tactical levels are obviously much higher than the teammates and opponents he had been in contact with before. As a strong team in La Liga, Atletico Madrid's players are basically all top athletes in the world.

Even the substitutes are carefully selected and are the main players in some mid-level national teams.

Lin Rui had just been promoted from the Spanish Second Division and had only played two official games. He suddenly came to a higher-level La Liga team and did need some adaptation.

"Lin, pay attention to your positioning! You should pay more attention to the positions of your teammates and don't run around in front of them."

"Be careful about the scale of physical confrontation in the penalty area, and don't apply the penalty standards of the Spanish Second Division to La Liga."

"Pay attention to the defense, Lin, remember! In my team, the forwards also have to participate in defense."

…………

Simeone on the sidelines kept pointing out some problems of the players in the training match.

Among them, Lin Rui was the player named the most by Simeone.

There was nothing he could do about it. After all, Lin Rui had just joined the team and was not familiar with his coaching style or his teammates. And he still had many habits from playing in the Western Second Division.

These things all took time to correct slowly.

Facing Simeone's criticism, Lin Rui on the field did not have any psychological waves.

Every time he was named by Simeone, Lin Rui would seriously implement the other party's requirements.

This made Simeone very satisfied.

As a head coach, he was not afraid of the players making mistakes, but after making mistakes, he had to know how to correct them humbly.

The most feared thing was the kind of person who was nothing, but just liked to be independent and didn't listen to others' advice.

Of course, although Lin Rui had this or that problem, his characteristics were also very prominent.

During the game, Lin Rui never lost in physical confrontation.

Atletico Madrid's two main central defenders Miranda and Godin were abused by him.

Every time when they were defending Lin Rui in the penalty area, the two tried to suppress each other with their bodies, and they would be taught a lesson by Lin Rui.

Later, the two learned to be smart and never had direct physical contact with Lin Rui. Instead, they relied on their experience and skills as top defenders, as well as some small movements to interfere with each other.

However, this level of interference would have a greatly reduced effect on Lin Rui.

If it weren't for the lack of tacit understanding between Lin Rui and his teammates, it is estimated that a goal would have been scored at this time.

To be honest, these two are also 1.85 meters tall and have very good physical fitness. They are also famous for their defensive hardness in the La Liga.

But they became soft-footed shrimps in front of Lin Rui.

This made the other Atletico players secretly stunned.

In addition, Lin Rui's header is very good.

Combined with his tyrannical strength, his header is like a fish in water.

When competing for the top in the penalty area, as long as he stands in position, it is purely wishful thinking for others to squeeze him out.

At the beginning, the teammates of Team B did not realize this.

It was not until one time when Lin Rui was double-teamed by two defensive players and easily jumped up to head his teammate's cross on the crossbar during a penalty area competition that his teammates realized that this new Chinese was an air tyrant.

So in the following games, when teammates passed the ball again, it was simple, just to greet Lin Rui's head.

As a result, the pressure on the defensive players of Team A increased immediately.

In the end, Lin Rui finally knocked on the door of Team A with a header after several attempts.

Although Team B lost 1 to 3 in the end due to the difference in strength, the pressure caused by Lin Rui to the opponent in the meantime was real. This made Team A, which was originally overwhelmed by strength, also struggled.

In addition to physical strength and headers, Lin Rui's other skills were a little worse.

Even his skills of stopping the ball and shooting, which had reached 80, were only at the average level of the substitute lineup.

Not to mention his skills of controlling the ball and passing, which were not up to standard.

After the game, teammates of Team B became much friendlier towards Lin Rui, the big guy who helped them score goals.

Lively young players like Koke have begun to get close to Lin Rui.

And the main players of Team A have also put away their contempt.

It looks like this is a guy with some strength.

It can be said that Lin Rui has established himself in the Atletico Madrid team with his own strength.

Simeone was very pleased to see all this.

This shows that there is nothing wrong with his vision.

Lin Rui now has the strength of a first-team player, but he still needs to run-in in terms of cooperation with other players.

At the end of a day's training, Koke, a teammate who got along well with Lin Rui today, wanted to invite him for a drink, but was politely declined by Lin Rui.

"I'm sorry, Xisco, the coach has left me a task. I have to continue training after training, so I can't go drinking with you."

"Extra practice? Oh, you are so pitiful! Our head coach is very strict with the players. If he targets you, you must be prepared to suffer."

Koke said with some gloating.

But then he thought that he didn't seem to have anything to do today, so he said:"Do you want me to practice with you? It's lonely to be alone."

"Okay." Lin Rui agreed readily.

So the two of them took a shower first, and then went to the restaurant for dinner.

When they arrived at the restaurant, they saw Klauia.

Seeing Lin Rui, Klauia immediately said excitedly:"Lin, congratulations on entering the first team. I knew that with your strength, it would be a matter of time for you to enter the first team, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. When I received the news today, I couldn't believe it."

"Thank you, Aunt Claudia. Lin Rui sincerely thanked

"You're welcome, Lin. Just score a few more goals in the next game to make us old fans happy."Klauia said generously with a wave of her hand.

""Yes, of course!" Lin Rui nodded seriously.

These fans are really lovely. As long as you can contribute to the team, they will support you unconditionally.
