Chapter 141 With all the attention, can Lin Quan break the 40-year-old historical record?

In the 33rd round of the league, Werder Bremen defeated Frankfurt 2:1 in an away game, extending their winning streak in the league to 10 games.

This result also set a new record for their longest winning streak in team history.

Lin Quan, who scored one goal in this game, brought his total number of goals to 40, tying the Bundesliga single-season scoring record set by Gerd Muller in the 1971-1972 season.

If he can score again in the next final game against Nuremberg, he will break this record and write his name on the Bundesliga record list!

During this period of time, Lin Quan was actually deliberately suppressing his desire to score goals.

He wants to maintain his hunger for goals so that he can be in better shape in the German Cup final and help the team win the championship.

And Schaff usually makes substitutions very early after the team takes the lead, allowing substitutes such as Phil Kruger and Peterson to come on for exercise.

Affected by this, Lin Quan did not score many goals in the second half of the schedule, only 12 goals.

If he had maintained his strong firepower in the first half, he might have already broken the Bundesliga scoring record.

But what must come will eventually come. In Werder Bremen's last home game, if this record can be broken, it will be given to the home fans as a parting gift.

This might be the best farewell gift!

…

Before the final round of the league comes, the dust of the Bundesliga has basically settled.

Bayern has won the championship two rounds ahead of schedule, and Fürth has been relegated ahead of schedule.

The last relegation spot will be decided between Hoffenheim and Dusseldorf.

Considering that Hoffenheim is 2 points less than Dusseldorf and they faced Dortmund in the last round, their probability of relegation is greater.

But what is surprising is that Hoffenheim actually reversed Dortmund 2:1 in the away game, while Dusseldorf was beaten 3:0 by Hannover in the away game.

Dusseldorf, which originally had a huge advantage, relied on its lead in points and goal difference. As long as this game is a draw, it will have a chance to avoid relegation.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a mess. Instead, Hoffenheim used his resilience to overthrow Dortmund and create a miracle.

This is really full of drama. Although the suspense of this season's championship has disappeared early, the suspense of relegation still exists, which can be regarded as making the Bundesliga not so boring.

However, Hoffenheim has not completely succeeded in avoiding relegation. They still have to compete with the third place in the Bundesliga 2 for a place in the Bundesliga next season.

If they lose to the third-placed German Bundesliga in the play-offs, they will be relegated.

…

May 18, 19:30 pm.

The Weserstadion was brightly lit.

This is the final game of the Bundesliga season, and it is also the last game for Lin Quan and De Bruyne at the Weser Stadium.

For fans of the Parrot Legion, after this game, they will never see Lin Quan and De Bruyne wearing Werder Bremen green jerseys and playing for the team.

In order to witness the last home game of the two and witness their farewell ceremony, almost all the tickets were sold out by the fans before the game.

Even the high-priced tickets that were usually reluctant to buy and were controlled by scalpers were snapped up.

In addition to Werder Bremen fans, some reporters and scouts also flocked to the Weser Arena.

The Bundesliga's 40-year-old scoring record is very likely to be broken in this game.

Journalists are waiting to witness this historic moment.

As for the scouts, they naturally come to check out their favorite players to see if they can bring them to their own team during the summer transfer window.

Lin Quan's contract with Barcelona is about to expire, and the two sides have not yet reached an agreement on the renewal issue, which proves that Lin Quan is likely to become a free agent in the summer.

One of the hottest players in football today has become a free agent, which is extremely attractive to the major clubs.

Considering Lin Quan's age, if he can be taken away, his team will not have to worry about the core of the team for at least the next ten years.

Therefore, no wealthy family wanted to miss this feast, and almost everyone who cared a little bit came.

"Haha, your son looks very popular!"

In a box at the Weserstadion, Bayern sporting director Matthias Sammer said with a pun.

"Yes, there are so many fans who come to the stadium to support him!"

Guardiola didn't seem to understand what Sammer said. He glanced at the packed Weser Stadium and said with some sigh.

When I was playing at Camp Nou, I seemed to have never been treated like this.

This guy's popularity among fans is really enviable!

Samer was speechless for a while. I was talking about people from many other clubs. Who told you about the fans at the scene?

Lin Quan scored so many goals and won so many games in one season at Werder Bremen.

Isn't it normal to have such a high popularity?

What's so strange about this!

When he arrives at Bayern, if he can achieve the same results at Bayern, the fans at the Allianz Arena will not be stingy with their applause and cheers.

…

Facts have proved that Guardiola still underestimated Lin Quan's weight in the hearts of Werder Bremen fans.

During the session where the host introduced the players from both sides, after introducing the other players, the host said with great emotion:

"There was a person who just came to the team and started wearing the green jersey of Werder Bremen. He humiliated the Bundesliga giants with an incredible hat trick in the away game!"

Hearing this, Summer's expression became a little ugly.

The fans around the box burst into hearty laughter. The away game against Bayern in the Telecom Cup was definitely a victory that made them feel hearty.

"There is one person who has stepped forward many times when the team was in danger and helped the team get out of crisis!"

The big screen began to play the scene of Werder Bremen falling behind again and again this season, the boy wearing the No. 10 jersey, riding through the barriers again and again, helping the team to save the day with goals.

"The same person, in his first season at Werder Bremen, scored 47 goals in all competitions on behalf of the team!"

Highlights of Lin Quan's goals in the Telecom Cup, German Cup and league games appeared on the big screen.

Unconsciously, he has represented Werder Bremen in 39 appearances in various competitions and scored 47 goals.

Whether it is the number of goals scored in a single season or the ultra-high scoring efficiency of 1.2 goals per game, they have greatly refreshed Werder Bremen's team history record.

If he could only play for the team for one season, he would definitely break Werder Bremen's scorer record and become the team's top scorer.

"Tell me louder, what's his name?"

The host suddenly raised his voice and asked questions to the audience.

"Lin-Quan!"

More than 50,000 spectators shouted this name loudly.

After hearing his name, Lin Quan also waved to the fans and walked towards the field.

To be honest, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he would be arranged to appear in the finale and receive the cheers and applause of the fans alone.

This moved him very much, and he was even more determined to use a victory and a record as gifts to these lovely Werder Bremen fans!

After seeing Lin Quan play, the fans at the scene burst into even more enthusiastic cheers, and more than 50,000 fans collectively gave him a standing ovation.

The fans sincerely thank him for his contribution to the team this season and wish him smooth sailing in his future journey.

The Nuremberg players looked at Lin Quan with some jealousy. This guy was only 17 years old and had already achieved achievements that most of them would not be able to achieve in their lifetime.

It is even possible that in this game, they will set a new record for Bundesliga goals in a single season.

How difficult this record is to break can be seen from the fact that no one has been able to shake it for forty years.

The year when Gerd Muller set this record happened to be the year when he was in great form and hit 85 goals in a calendar year.

Since then, no one has been able to break this record, let alone break it, and it is difficult to even come close to this number.

At this time, in this game, this 17-year-old boy will attack this record.

Perhaps others are looking forward to the historic moment when he breaks the record, but for the Nuremberg players, they don't want to be the backdrop for their opponent to reach the top!

Therefore, the game can be lost, but Lin Quan must not be allowed to score.

From the beginning of this game, they resolutely implemented this principle.

When other Werder Bremen players got the ball, they sent one or even no one to defend.

But once the ball was passed to Lin Quan's feet, in the blink of an eye, at least two or three defensive players from Nuremberg would rush forward.

The opponent's intention not to let Lin Quan score was written on his forehead.

When Lin Quan saw the opponent's posture, he was not reckless.

He takes advantage of the opponent's tendency to focus on him, increases running, passing and pulling, reduces the time of dribbling the ball, and creates shooting opportunities for his teammates.

Although breaking records is important, in the final game of the season, we should first make sure we win.

If you break the record but lose at home, then it feels like the record is not perfect.

With the help of Lin Quan, De Bruyne took advantage of an excellent opportunity to open the scoring in the 36th minute of the first half, helping the team take a 1:0 lead.

I thought that after the team took the lead, Nuremberg might be anxious to equalize the score. In that case, they would devote more troops to the offense and their defense against Lin Quan might be relaxed.

But what I never expected was that the opponent was completely bearish on the outcome of this game.

If you lose, you lose, no big deal.

As long as there is no tragedy, it doesn't matter.

This is the last game anyway, and their points are enough to ensure they stay in relegation, so what does it matter if they lose a game?

Werder Bremen quickly realized this.

After the team took the lead, they had already begun to intentionally create opportunities for Lin Quan, hoping to help him break the record.

But the opponent's desperate defense of Lin Quan made all their efforts in vain.

No matter how good Lin Quan is, there are always two or three players following him all year round. He can't even catch the ball and has no chance to display his extraordinary skills!

"Why can't Lin Quan score a goal today?"

"Yeah, half the game is almost over, and he didn't even have a shot!"

The Werder Bremen fans at the scene were a little impatient. Although they also cared about winning or losing the game, they were more concerned about whether Lin Quan could break Gerd Muller's record.

But now judging from the scene, there is no chance of breaking the record.

"Nuremberg's defense is too targeted. No matter where Lin Quan goes, there are two or three defenders around him. He has no way to get the ball."

"Haha, it seems that Nuremberg is not willing to serve as a background for the opponent's record breaking!"

In the TV station's commentary box, regarding the situation on the field, the commentator of the German TV station said jokingly:

“If it were me, I would probably do the same thing.

If Lin Quan really breaks the record for his own team, then Nuremberg will become famous along with it, but this reputation is not a good one. "

The commentators can understand this tactical choice of the opposing team, but the fans who come to the scene and the reporters waiting to report the big news cannot accept it.

"One in!"

"One in!"

They started shouting.

At first it was just a small group of people shouting, but then more and more people joined their ranks.

At the end, the whole stadium was filled with the sound of "one in".

The fans' shouting made Lin Quan feel some pressure, but his opponent's shameless defense prevented him from finding a chance to score for a while.

Just when he felt embarrassed, De Bruyne's goal just inspired him.

So he shouted to his teammates on the field:

"Leave me alone, I'll lead their players back to the backcourt later, and you guys can take advantage of the fact that there are more people and fewer people to attack them!"

Even if I can't score a goal today, I still have to create a tragedy for them! "

The players of Werder Bremen nodded one after another. The opponent's top-heavy defense clearly showed that they did not take them seriously!

Although we are not as strong as Lin Quan, we are not weak. Who are you looking down on when you defend like this?

Therefore, they adjusted their offensive strategy and no longer deliberately passed the ball to Lin Quan, but instead hit the goal themselves whenever they had the opportunity.

The change quickly took effect.

In the 43rd minute, Werder Bremen launched an attack on the left. De Bruyne pulled up and sent a second pass. Peterson, who came in behind, made a smart sweep and swept the ball into the goal.

The score became 2:0!

In this goal, Lin Quan did as he said, deliberately running towards his own half with the defensive player marking him.

Although the Nuremberg players were a little hesitant, they still followed.

When Lin Quan shouted before, he deliberately shouted loudly so that they could hear him.

Therefore, they knew the opponent's intentions clearly, but even so, they still did not dare to let go of marking Lin Quan.

But the price for doing so was that they conceded another goal.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Lin Quan repeated his old tricks. When Werder Bremen launched an attack, he not only retreated but continued to run towards his own half.

This time, the Nuremberg players were obviously hesitant.

However, they did not hesitate for too long and quickly caught up. They continued to defend Lin Quan without giving him any chance.

De Bruyne was observing with the ball. If the opponent slackened on Lin Quan's defense, he would immediately pass the ball to Lin Quan.

But unfortunately, the opponent's defense did not relax, and he had to pass the ball to other teammates.

In the 55th minute, Werder Bremen once again expanded its lead.

Since there was no interference, De Bruyne hit a high-quality long shot from outside the penalty area and scored the opponent's goal for the third time.

This conceded goal loosened the psychological defense of the Nuremberg players.

If someone had interfered with the goal just now and prevented the opponent from shooting comfortably, the goal might not have been lost.

But the problem is, who do they have in the backcourt?

Three players followed the opponent's No. 10 and ran into the opponent's half. The remaining 7 of them had to defend the opponent's 10 players. How could they guard against this?

Moreover, when others are attacking their own door, our team still sends three players to the opponent's half. This move feels stupid.

So, when Werder Bremen attacked again and planned to repeat their old tricks, they were not fooled.

The number of players following Lin Quan changed from three to one, and the remaining two stayed near the center circle.

Seeing this scene, De Bruyne and Lin Quan looked at each other. They both knew that the opportunity to break the record had come!
