In the summer before the start of the season, when Wolves needed to bring in wide players, the first thing they noticed was Marin from Chelsea. At that time, Chelsea had just changed their coach, and Jose Mourinho took over and did some reshuffling and cleaning up the squad, which led Wolfsburg to bring in a player from them that they didn't need, Marin. And half a season later, when Wolfsburg found that Marin was useless and wanted to bring in a wide player again, they set their sights on the transfer market again, and they were surprised to find that it seemed that at this time, the most valuable players in the transfer market were still from Chelsea, and the store that sold them players opened again this winter.

This winter, some teams have been thinking about bringing in reinforcements, while others are thinking about cleaning up their roster. With the advent of the winter transfer period, the Premier League transfer market is bustling, Manchester United has certainly made a lot of moves, and Chelsea has also made frequent moves. Second, unlike Wolfsburg, as an old local tyrant team, what Chelsea is doing now is cleaning up their players.

A number of Chelsea players have been put on the sales list this winter. There is no shortage of top figures such as Juan Mata, who has been the best player at Chelsea for the past two years. The first half of the season is too thick, unlike some teams that are unavailable, and some local tyrants always feel that their players are not good enough, and at this moment, they are thinking about how to replace players.

And Chelsea's list for sale is undoubtedly a huge treasure for Wolfsburg. Players from good teams, even if they are not used, are enough to cause other teams to scramble. In the past few years, Chelsea has been buying young players and accumulating a lot of good players. And the fact that these players are willing to sell is a good thing for almost any team.

Of course, for Wolfsburg, a player like Mata, who is destined to be worth more than 30 million, seems to be a little too expensive. However, De Bruyne's name was found on this list. Still let Wolfsburg have some surprises.

As the core of Belgium, De Bruyne, his strength Wolfsburg is also well known. The player was loaned to Bremen by Chelsea last season, and his form there is evident. This player has a good hand of crosses and the quality of his set-pieces, and his characteristics are quite in line with what Wolfsburg are looking for. Although he is theoretically a striker, but such a player. A little makeover, it's not difficult at all.

Compared to Marin, this player was still in the Bundesliga last season, and his technical level is very satisfying, and as soon as he saw his name, Wolfsburg was immediately tempted.

This reinforcement looks like a godsend. It's just that the only thing that makes Wolfsburg a little suspicious. Why is such a player put on the sales list? Are there any problems here?

This can't be blamed on Wolfsburg being suspicious: half a season ago. They just bought Marin from Chelsea. And now they want to buy people again, which has a lot to do with Marin's poor performance. The last time they worked with Chelsea, they were already losing, and this time they saw Chelsea selling, they naturally wanted to find out what was going on with De Bruyne leaving. Losing once with a team is trying. But if you always suffer there, you are a fool.

Wolfsburg was cautious about the transfer this time, but they soon found out that their caution was unnecessary. They soon found out. The most fundamental reason why De Bruyne wants to move is actually one: his tactical style is not in harmony with the current Chelsea, so he wants to leave.

Each team has its own tactical characteristics, and there are times when some players fit into some teams but are treated as waste by others. De Bruyne is certainly considered a good player by Wolfsburg, but at Chelsea he is not seen as such, on the contrary, he is there, quite unappreciated. While Kevin De Bruyne is a good player for Wolfsburg with an excellent cross and set-pieces, he is also a big problem for Chelsea.

De Bruyne's characteristics are prominent, and the problems are not small. He is a player who demands the ball when he plays, and when he plays on the pitch, he will always have a conflict with Chelsea's key player Eden Hazard. There is only one football, but both of them want to control the ball, and once one loses the ball, he will not be able to play well, which is a big problem for Chelsea.

It is difficult for two incompatible players to play together. And Mourinho, as a coach, doesn't seem to be in the mood to solve this problem for them. His approach to this was simple and brutal, and he simply opted to put De Bruyne on the bench.

His approach cannot be said to be wrong: as a coach, Mourinho has his own football philosophy, for the distribution of the ball, the cooperation on the field, this kind of thing, he has never paid much attention, in his opinion, instead of adjusting the position of the two, so that the two can play a good state, it is better to reuse only one person, idle the other, so that the one on the field can play completely, this can solve the problem.

Trying to let one or two players play their full strength in the attack, building the simplest attacking routine to make the attack perfect, this is the way Mourinho prefers more, and for him, choosing Hazard to attack, this is the best solution, and after this choice, his other players' arrangements are also around his own choice. For him, the rest of the players should be doing with Eden Hazard on the pitch rather than taking chances with him. Therefore, in the selection of other players, he also pays more attention to Oscar and others who are active and can help his teammates, rather than technical players such as De Bruyne and Mata.

Compared with the technical attack, Mourinho's thinking is more about overall defense and quick counter-attacking routines.

Because of this, Mata, De Blane and others are not taken seriously by him. In the final analysis, Chelsea's contradiction is that Abou's recruitment ideas in previous years have had an impact on Mourinho's current coaching ideas. Mourinho doesn't like the technical football he wants, he doesn't support it, he is reinventing the team in his own way, so for those players he doesn't like, he doesn't value them all.

Mourinho's tactical thinking determines his employability, and his employability also determines his attitude towards other players who don't have a chance. In the team, his attitude towards De Bruyne and other players is not particularly good, which also makes De Bruyne feel that he has been treated unfairly at Chelsea and wants to move away.

Of course, in fact, the so-called unfair treatment is more just an excuse. The real reason is more that De Bruyne, like Marin, has not been able to find many opportunities under Jose Mourinho. It's just that unlike Marin, who has not had a chance under several Chelsea managers, De Bruyne played reasonably well at least last season when he was on loan at Bremen. It's just that this season, after returning to Chelsea, he has never been given a chance, so he doesn't want to stay longer.

De Bruyne has always been a key player in the Belgian national team, and he has a high status in the national team, and if he does not play at the club, he is also worried that the status of the national team will be affected: Belgium has no shortage of talent, and now that the World Cup is approaching, it is impossible for Belgium to reuse a player who cannot play at his own club.

He needs to play at club and he is willing to leave Chelsea for that.

As for the idea that he wanted to leave, Mourinho's reaction was to directly agree. And the reason for his doing this is also very simple: on the one hand, in his opinion, De Bruyne is really useless, and there is no point in keeping it. On the other hand, Jose Mourinho is hoping to reclaim goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who has been on loan from Chelsea, next year. This is also an important reason.

Thibaut Courtois and Kevin De Bruyne are both Belgian players, and both are Chelsea players as well as internationals for the national team. And not long ago, the media broke the news that Courtois and De Bruyne's girlfriend**, this matter also caused quite a stir.

Although after that, De Bruyne faced the inquiry of the national team manager, saying that the overall situation is important, and Courtois should not be easily expelled, and even said to the outside world that he and Courtois have resolved the conflict, but it is difficult to completely let go of this kind of thing, if Courtois returns to Chelsea in the future, will there be a conflict with De Bruyne because of this, which will cause problems within the club? That's what Mourinho has to think about as well.

This kind of thing has caused a lot of trouble when it appeared at Chelsea last time, and if it comes out again, I am afraid it will be doubly troublesome. No one wants their team to have such nonsense and traditions, and it is better to try to avoid this kind of thing.

And after thinking about it, in order to keep his team from causing trouble, Mourinho decided to give up De Bruyne. Although this matter is generally Courtois's problem, Mourinho is not the coach of the Belgian national team, he does not need to think about the impact of good or bad, he only thinks that De Bruyne is not useful to the team, Courtois is more useful, so he would rather choose the more useful one.

As a result, De Bruyne, like Juan Mata, has been thrown into the squad for sale by Chelsea this winter.

Mourinho as a coach, his own ability is still very worthy of recognition, but this person's character is stubborn and extreme. It's good to use that kind of character to face the enemy in the coaching process, but it's terrible to use it to adjust your tactics. It's definitely not a good thing to always stick to your own set and not see more of the players shine.

It's just that whether this is a good thing for him or not has nothing to do with Wolfsburg, and for Wolfsburg, it's good for himself. De Bruyne is now for sale, which is definitely good news. And now, they have to decide whether to bring him in or not. (To be continued.) )
