Chapter 91 Werder Bremen's Retention 】
After three days of rest, on October 10th, Werder Bremen played at home against the incoming colt Borussia Monchengladbach.
Borussia Mönchengladbach is a very strange team. According to domestic fans, this is the DGL in the Bundesliga - don't kill the unknown, and specialize in robbing the rich and helping the poor.
They are good at playing Bayern, and they can always beat or draw Bayern in various unexpected ways, making Bayern lose points in embarrassment.
But when facing other teams, they are not in such a good state.
In this game, Werder Bremen's offensive was in full swing, and Lin Quan and De Bruyne, who were in hot form, scored goals one after another.
The first half is not over yet, the score has become 3:0, of which Lin Quan scored 2 goals and De Bruyne scored [-] goal.
In the second half, they changed sides and fought again, Werder Bremen continued to present goals for the home fans.
De Bruyne scored again in the 67th minute and the score became 4:0.
Seeing that there was no suspense in the game, Schaff decisively began to make substitutions.
The scoring heroes Lin Quan and De Bruyne were replaced one after another. Both of them played for the national team and needed time to rest.
With the game already divided, there is no need to keep them on the court. If they get injured accidentally, there is no place to cry.
Although Werder Bremen's frontcourt twin stars were replaced, the substitutes who came on the field did not disappoint the fans at the scene.
In the 77th minute, Phil Kruger, who came off the bench, scored another goal, and the score became 5:0.
The foal has been beaten!
In the end, Werder Bremen beat Borussia Mönchengladbach 5:0 at home, sweeping away the haze of the previous three rounds of invincibility.
In this round of the league, Bayern beat Düsseldorf 5-0 in an away game and won two consecutive victories, continuing to occupy the top spot.
Dortmund lost 1:2 at home to Schalke 04. The gap between them and Bayern widened again. The point difference between the two teams came to 12 points, and the ranking in the standings also dropped to 12th.
Although the schedule is not over halfway, there are very few people who are optimistic about Dortmund's defending title.
Everyone can see that there is something wrong with the state of Dortmund's team this season.
After the game against Borussia, the next round of the Bundesliga is a week later.
Since Werder Bremen has no European games, they have no games to play this week.
So, at the end of the game, Schaaf gave the team three days off, so that those players who were running back and forth because of the national team game could have time to rest and adjust their state.
Hearing the news of the holiday, the players in the club cheered.
Some unmarried players proposed to go to the nightclub Happy, and wanted to take Lin Quan to go with them.
Lin Quan doesn't like occasions like nightclubs very much, and was about to refuse when he heard Captain Fritz say:
"Don't bring bad kids, Lin is underage, don't take him to that kind of place, come to my house to play this weekend, your sister-in-law and I have prepared an open-air barbecue party, if any of you are interested, you can come together too! "
Lin Quan still has to give the captain's face, and besides, he really has nothing to do on weekends.
On the weekend, Lin Quan called De Bruyne, planning to invite him to the captain's house.
As a result, the kid De Bruyne returned to Belgium, saying that he wanted to take his girlfriend over to live with him.
After scolding him for emphasizing sex over friends, Lin Quan could only go out by himself on his bicycle.
On the way, Lin Quan bought a souvenir, and soon arrived at Fritz's home.
After ringing the doorbell, it was Fritz's wife, Alena Goebel, who answered the door.
Alena is only 24 years old this year, 8 years younger than Fritz.
The age difference is not too big, but Fritz looks a little anxious, and Alena is a model, and her skin and body are well maintained. Standing together, the two feel like an old married couple.
"You must be the Lin that Clemens often mentions!"
The appearance of Lin Quan's yellow race is easy to identify, and Fritz greeted him in advance.
After Alena opened the door, she immediately recognized the other party.
"Hi sister-in-law, is the captain at home?"
Lin Quan was very surprised, he didn't expect the captain's wife to be so young and so beautiful.
This made him hesitate a bit, not daring to go in.
It would be a little embarrassing if the captain wasn't at home.
"Here I am!"
Alena saw Lin Quan's hesitation, with a smile on her face, and after shouting to the back, Fritz came over wearing oven gloves and an apron.
Unexpectedly, the captain was actually a family cook, and Lin Quan felt that he had a better understanding of the captain.
"Lin, you are here, come in!"
Fritz quickly greeted Lin Quan to enter the door, and led Lin Quan to the backyard enthusiastically.
Before Lin Quan sat down, he saw the club manager Allofs and the team coach Thomas Schaaf sitting opposite and chatting.
Seeing Lin Quan coming, Allofs stood up and shook hands with him proactively.
"Lin, how is your stay in Bremen during this time?"
"It's good. The weather here is good. It's not as dry and hot as Spain. The teammates in the club also take good care of me, especially the captain."
Lin Quan couldn't figure out the intention of the other party, so he casually treated the other party politely.
"Hehe, it's good that you like this place. Although Bremen is not an international metropolis, as long as you live here for a long time, you will definitely fall in love with it."
Allofs said with a smile, and after finishing speaking, he winked at his old partner and motioned him to speak.
Seeing that he couldn't hide, Shafu coughed and said:
"Lin, the team plans to make an impact on the European competition next season."
This is the first time Lin Quan has heard the club talk about their goals for next season.
At the beginning of this season, the club still took relegation as its main goal.
But now after eight rounds, they rank fourth in the standings, not only away from the relegation zone, but even hope to get tickets for the Champions League.
This made the Werder Bremen club have some ideas. They believe that with the twin star combination of Lin Quangad Brauner, Werder Bremen's performance this season will definitely be much better than last season.
At this time, it seems a bit too conservative to set the goal on relegation.
Goals that are too conservative cannot stimulate the fighting spirit of the players. After the players see that they have completed the task of relegation, their enthusiasm on the field will decrease and they will become hopeless.
But if they set their goal to enter the European theater, then the players may be able to maintain that momentum and fight all the way.
Perhaps, at the end of the fight, it may not be true that they will be able to enter the European theater.
Even if you can't make it to the Champions League, you can at least play in the Europa League.
The Bundesliga is the league with the highest points among the five major leagues. Their points in the European competition are second only to the Premier League and La Liga.
Therefore, they can be allocated 7 European places each season, including four Champions League places and three Europa League places.
Considering that the German Cup has been monopolized by the top-ranked teams for a long time, this means that the top seven teams in the standings are eligible to represent the Bundesliga in the European competition next season.
Werder Bremen's performance last season was so poor that they didn't get into the European competition.
But this season, as long as they maintain their current state and keep their position in the standings without falling behind, they are very likely to achieve their European goals.
"If we can break into the European theater, whether it is the Europa League or the Champions League, it will increase our income, and being able to play high-level European competitions will also help us attract more outstanding players to join us! "
Club manager Allofs said frankly.
UEFA still takes care of small and medium teams. As long as they reach the Champions League, they can get a lot of bonuses.
If the results can go further, the money will be distributed more.
Of course, big teams, especially some giants, will have higher broadcast income, which is incomparable to small teams.
In the era of commercial football, giants with good performance and good business development are not at the same level as ordinary teams in terms of income.
And more money means that they can offer higher wages and have more funds to buy their favorite players in the transfer market.
The main reason why the small and medium-sized teams in the major leagues can't keep their stars is because of low wages, few European games, and poor attraction to stars, which can't stop the poaching of giants.
Players are very realistic. Professional football is nothing more than the pursuit of money and the pursuit of honor.
And when it comes to wealthy families, they may get both money and honor.
That being the case, between the rich and ordinary teams, they will definitely choose the rich!
If Werder Bremen wants to rise again, they must increase the team's income and reputation.
With the broadcast fees and game bonuses of the European war, plus the sponsorship income brought by sponsors, the team has the money to buy powerful stars to improve the team's strength and record.
The improvement of their record can help them further expand their popularity and commercial value, thereby attracting more fans and better sponsors.
This is a positive cycle!
Werder Bremen once flourished. At that time, they could not only compete with Bayern in the Bundesliga, but also compete with giants in other leagues in the European war.
But now, Werder Bremen has been reduced to the point where there is no European game to play, and even almost relegation.
If they want to revive and rise, it is not enough to just retain the current main players, and they need to spend money to introduce more high-level players.
The club's current players, except for a few international players, are mediocre, and they belong to the kind of practical players with little reputation and low wages.
It's okay to count on these players to play in the league and keep relegation.
But if you expect them to go further and make a breakthrough in the European competition, it will not be enough.
Therefore, they really want to keep Lin Quan and De Bruyne, two young players.
If they can be kept, the cornerstone of Werder Bremen's revival may be there.
Lin Quan felt that there was no need for the club to explain these things to himself.
Coach Schaff just announced the matter in the locker room. There is no need to make it so grand. The club manager and the head coach were specially dispatched to do their own work.
Unless, their purpose is not as simple as setting goals!
It seems that news about his contract from Spain has reached Germany.
"Coach, don't worry, I will definitely show my [-]% state and play well in every game."
The other party didn't make it clear, so Lin Quan had no choice but to pretend to be confused.
"Lin, I want to use you as the core to build Werder Bremen's offensive system!"
Schaff said earnestly:
"With your offensive ability in the frontcourt and De Bruyne's assist ability, our frontcourt attack group is basically completed, and what remains to be done is to continue to improve the strength of the midfield and the backcourt, and introduce a group of players. A strong player!"
Schaf tried to describe the grand blueprint of the club to Lin Quan in order to attract him to stay.
But Lin Quan knew that neither De Bruyne nor himself could stay at Werder Bremen.
Coach Schaff's grand blueprint is doomed to be unrealized!
"Coach, please rest assured, before the end of the loan contract, I will earnestly perform the duties of a professional player, score more goals for the team, and try my best to win every game!"
After saying this, Lin Quan stood up and bid farewell to the two.
Sure enough, the captain calling himself over was not as simple as attending some barbecue party.
Lin Quan sighed. In fact, he had already understood the other party's implication, but he has been avoiding discussing this matter directly.
He has had a good time at Werder Bremen, but this cannot be his final destination.
Sooner or later he will leave Bremen and go somewhere else.
If the topic is not clear, it would be good for the two parties to maintain such a cooperative relationship.
But once the topic is brought up, it may be difficult for the relationship between the two parties to return to the beginning.
Therefore, he couldn't give the other party a chance to pick up the topic, so he had to leave here immediately.
"The barbecue will be ready soon, let's go after eating?"
Seeing that Lin Quan was about to leave, Fritz tried to persuade him to stay.
"No Captain, I have something to do, so I'll leave first, thank you and sister-in-law for your hospitality!"
Seeing the back of Lin Quan leaving decisively, Shaf and Alofs looked at each other with wry smiles on their faces.
Sure enough, I can't keep him!
"Disappointed?"
Allofs asked his old partner.
Coach Shaf shook his head:
"There is no hope for things, so why disappointment?"
He looked openly, without moaning.
There was no hope in the first place, but they only had a little hope after they got the news that Lin Quan's contract was only half a year away, and the liquidated damages were not expensive.
"The Werder Bremen stage is too small, staying here is a kind of shackles for him, why not let him go and let him fly freely!"
"What about De Bruyne?"
"Like him, there is no hope. Even De Bruyne's loyalty to Chelsea is much higher than Lin's loyalty to Barcelona."
After working with Lin Quan for a long time, Schaff found that Lin Quan had no idea about returning to Barcelona.
It is precisely because of this that they had a little bit of luck that they wanted to poach the wall.
It's a pity that even if the opponent does not return to Barcelona, it is unlikely to stay in Werder Bremen.
Allofs also understood that what the other party said was right, but he still had a little luck in his heart.
How do you know if you haven't tried it?
Tried and failed, at least there will be no regrets in the future.
"After De Bruyne comes back, let me get in touch with him again. He is different from Lin Quan. There may not be a place for him at Chelsea."
Allofs sighed, no matter how small the hope is, you have to try it to know if it works.
For the revival of Werder Bremen, even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, he will not let it go.
……
Lin Quan guessed that the club might also issue De Bruyne to retain him, but he did not ask De Bruyne about it.
In the past few days, he has been training seriously, actively preparing for the upcoming league.
He calculated his points and found that he was not far from 20 points, which meant that he would soon be able to purchase a 20-point talent.
As for the next talent, there is no doubt that he will definitely choose to reduce injuries.
