Extracting site-specific information from NetCDF f

I got a NetCDF file from the German Meteorological Service concerning mean temperatures in Europe (CDC FDP SERVER). The only thing I want to extract is the daily mean temperature for Bornholm, which is an island in the central Baltic.

I know how to extract information for certain coordinates (see code sample below). The only problem is that the file specific coordinates are 'rotated' which is why the geographic coordinates for Bornholm (extracted from GoogleMaps) are kind of useless.

packages <- c("RNetCDF",
              "ncdf4",
              "raster")

lapply(packages, require, character.only = TRUE)

x <- mean(14.68,15.16)        #coordinates for a rectangle around 
y <- mean(54.987,55.299)      #Bornholm extracted from GoogleMaps

temp <- nc_open("tas_decreg_europe_v20140120_20030101_20030131.nc")
temp

var <- ncvar_get(temp, "tas")
point <- var[x,y,]
as.data.frame(point)

To cut it short - Google uses a close variant of the Mercator projection. So how can I either convert the NetCDF file or the coordinates from GoogleMaps, so that I can find what I need. I could have bet that there's a simple solution out there but unfortunately not - at least I couldn't find one.

For information about the file generated by print(temp) see below:

File tas_decreg_europe_v20140120_20030101_20030131.nc (NC_FORMAT_CLASSIC):

            units: days since 2003-01-01 00:00:00

Any help is appreciated. Thanks a lot...

You load the raster package, but you do not use it. Have you tried something like the below?

library(raster)  
x <- mean(14.68,15.16)  
y <- mean(54.987,55.299)
temp <- brick("tas_decreg_europe_v20140120_20030101_20030131.nc", var='tas')
extract(temp, cbind(x,y))
