After a three-day break, on October 20, Werder Bremen hosted the attacking foal Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Borussia Mönchengladbach is a very strange team, according to domestic fans, this is the DGL in the Bundesliga - not killing the unknown, but doing good things to rob the rich and help the poor.

They have a hand against Bayern, and they can always beat or draw Bayern in various unexpected ways, making Bayern lose points in disgrace.

But against other teams, they are not in such good form.

In this game, Werder Bremen was in full swing, and the in-form Lin Quan and De Bruyne scored one after another.

Before the end of the first half, the score had become 3:0, in which Lin Quan scored 2 goals and De Bruyne scored 1 goal.

In the second half, Werder Bremen continued to put on a goalscoring show for the home fans.

De Bruyne added another goal in the 67th minute to make it 4-0.

Schaaf saw that there was no suspense in the game, so he decisively began to make substitutions.

Goalscorers Lin Quan and Kevin De Bruyne were substituted one after another, both of whom played for the national team and needed time to rest.

With the winner already scored, there's not much need to keep them on the field, and if they accidentally get hurt, there's no place to cry.

Although Werder Bremen's front two stars were replaced, the substitutes who came on did not disappoint the fans at the scene.

In the 77th minute, substitute Phil Krueger scored again, and the score became 5:0.

The foal has been decorated!

In the end, Werder Bremen defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach 5-0 at home, sweeping away the haze of the previous three rounds of winlessness.

In this round of the league, Bayern defeated Fortuna Dusseldorf 5:0 away to win two consecutive victories and continue to dominate the table.

Borussia Dort's 2-1 home defeat to Schalke 04 widened the gap between them and Bayern Munich again, bringing the difference between the two teams to 12 points and dropping to 12th in the standings.

Although the schedule is not yet halfway through, there are very few people who are optimistic about Dortmund defending their title.

Everyone can see that Dortmund's form is out of order this season.

After the match against Borussia Mönchenchen, the next round of the Bundesliga is a week away.

Since Werder Bremen do not have European games, they have no games to play in this week.

So, at the end of the game, Schaff gave the team a three-day break so that the players who were on the move for the national team could have time to rest and adjust their condition.

Hearing the news of the holiday, the club's players cheered.

Some players who are not married propose to go to the nightclub to Harpy, and they also want to take Lin Quan with them.

Lin Quan didn't like such occasions as nightclubs very much, and was about to say no, when he heard the captain Fritz say:

"Don't bring a bad boy, Lin is still underage, don't take him to that kind of place, come to my house this weekend to play, I and your sister-in-law have prepared an open-air barbecue party, if any of you are interested, you can also come together!"

Lin Quan still has to give the captain's face, and besides, he really has nothing to do on the weekend.

At the end of the week, Lin Quan called De Bruyne and prepared to invite him to the captain's house as a guest.

As a result, De Bruyne, the kid, returned to Belgium, saying that he was going to take his girlfriend over to live with him.

After scolding a heavy color and light friend, Lin Quan could only go out on his bicycle.

On the way, he bought a souvenir, and Lin Quan soon arrived at Fritz's home.

After ringing the doorbell, it was Fritz's wife, Alena Gebel, who opened the door.

Alena is only 24 years old, eight years younger than Fritz.

The age difference is not particularly big, but Fritz looks a little anxious, and Alena is a model, and her skin and figure are very well maintained, and the two stand together like an old husband and a young wife.

"You must be the Lin that Clemens often mentions!"

Lin Quanhuang's appearance is very recognizable, and Fritz greeted him in advance.

As soon as Alena opened the door, she recognized the other person.

"Hello sister-in-law, is the captain at home?"

Lin Quan was surprised, he didn't expect the captain's wife to be so young and beautiful.

This made him a little hesitant and afraid to go in.

It would be a bit embarrassing if the captain wasn't at home.

"Yes!"

Alena saw Lin Quan's hesitation, with a smile between her eyebrows, and after shouting at the back, Fritz walked over wearing heat-insulating gloves for barbecue and wearing an apron.

Unexpectedly, the captain was actually a family cook, and Lin Quan felt that his understanding of the captain had deepened a little.

"Lin, you're here, come in!"

Fritz hurriedly beckoned Lin Quan to enter the door, and took Lin Quan to the backyard very enthusiastically.

Before Lin Quan could sit down, he saw club manager Alofs and team coach Thomas Scharf sitting opposite him, chatting.

Seeing Lin Quan coming, Alofs stood up and took the initiative to shake hands with him.

"Lin, how are you staying in Bremen during this time?"

'It's good, the weather is good, it's not as dry and hot as Spain, and my team-mates at the club take good care of me, especially the captain.

Lin Quan couldn't figure out the other party's intentions, so he casually talked to the other party.

"Hehe, it's good if you like it here, 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."

Alofs said with a smile, and then glanced at his old partner and motioned for him to speak.

Seeing that he couldn't hide, Schauff coughed and said:

"Lin, the team plans to make a splash at next season's European competition."

It's the first time I've heard the club talk about their goals for next season.

At the start of the season, the club was still aiming for relegation.

But now after eight rounds, they are fourth in the table, not only away from the relegation zone, but even hoping to get a ticket to the Champions League.

This has led to some thoughts from Werder Bremen that with the twin duo of Linquan and De Bruyne, Werder Bremen will definitely be much better this season than last season.

At this time, it is a bit too conservative to set the goal on relegation.

Too conservative goals will not motivate the players, and the players will become less motivated on the pitch and become more desireless after seeing that they have completed the relegation task.

But if they aim to get into the European places, then the players may be able to keep the momentum going and fight all the way.

Perhaps, in the end, they will really be able to enter the European zone.

Even if you can't get into the Champions League, you can at least go to the Europa League.

The Bundesliga is the top five leagues in terms of points, and they are second only to the Premier League and La Liga in European competitions.

As a result, they can get seven European places each season, four in the Champions League and three in the Europa League.

Considering that the German Cup has long been dominated by the top teams, this means that the top seven teams in the table are eligible to represent the Bundesliga in European competition next season.

Werder Bremen's results last season were too poor to qualify for Europe.

However, this season, as long as they maintain their current form and stay in the table, they will have a good chance of achieving their European goals.

"If we can break into the European zone, whether it is the Europa League or the Champions League, it can increase our income, and we can play high-level European games, which will also help us attract more outstanding players to join!"

Club manager Alofs is very honest.

UEFA still takes care of small and medium-sized teams, and as long as they reach the Champions League, they can get a lot of bonuses.

If you can go further, you will get more money.

Of course, big teams, especially some big clubs, will have higher broadcast income, which is incomparable to small teams.

In the era of commercial football, the giants with good results and good commercial development are not at the same level as ordinary teams in terms of income.

More money means they can pay higher wages and have more money to spend on the transfer market to buy the good players they want.

The main reason why small and medium-sized teams in major leagues can't retain stars is because of low salaries and few European games, which are too poor to attract stars and can't stop the poaching of giants.

The players are very realistic, and professional football is nothing more than the pursuit of money and the pursuit of glory.

And when it comes to wealthy families, they may get both money and honor.

In this case, between the giants and ordinary teams, they will definitely choose the giants!

If Werder Bremen are to make a comeback, they will have to increase their income and reputation.

With the broadcast fees and match bonuses of European competitions, plus the sponsorship income brought by sponsors, the team has the money to buy powerful stars to improve the team's strength and performance.

The improvement in performance can help them further expand their visibility and commercial value, which in turn will attract more fans and better sponsors.

It's a positive cycle!

Werder Bremen used to thrive, not only in the Bundesliga but also against the giants of other leagues in Europe.

But now, Werder Bremen has fallen to the point where there is no European competition to play in, and even almost relegation.

If they want to revive and rise, it is not enough to keep these current main players, they also need to spend money to bring in more high-level players.

The club's current players, except for a few internationals, are mediocre in quality, and belong to the kind of practical players who are not well-known and do not have high salaries.

Counting on these players to play in the league, to keep relegation or something, it's okay.

But it would not be enough to expect them to go one step further and make a breakthrough in Europe.

So, they would love to keep the two young players, Lin Quan and Kevin De Bruyne.

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 so much to himself.

Coach Schaaf just announced the matter in the dressing room, there was no need to make it so grand, and the club manager and manager were specially dispatched to do their own work.

Unless, their purpose is not just to set a goal!

It seems that the news of his contract on the Spanish side has reached the German side.

"Coach, don't worry, I will definitely give 100 percent of my form and play every game."

The other party didn't make it clear, and Lin Quan had to pretend to be confused.

"Lin, I want to take you as the core and build Werder Bremen's offensive system!"

Schauff said earnestly:

"With your attacking ability in the front court, plus De Bruyne's assist ability, our attacking group in the front field is basically completed, all that remains to do is to continue to improve the quality of the midfield and the backfield, and bring in a group of strong players!"

Scharaf tried to paint a grand picture of the club to Lin Quan in order to attract the other party to stay.

But Lin Quan knew that neither De Bruyne nor himself could stay in Werder Bremen.

Coach Schaf's grand blueprint is destined to be unrealizable!

"Coach, rest assured, before the end of the loan contract, I will take my duties as a professional player seriously, score more goals for the team and win every game as much as possible!"

After saying this, Lin Quan stood up and said goodbye to the two.

Sure enough, the captain called himself over not to participate in some barbecue party.

Lin Quan sighed, he had actually understood the meaning of the other party's words for a long time, but he had been avoiding discussing this matter head-on.

He was doing well in Werder Bremen, but this could not be his final destination.

Sooner or later, he would leave Bremen and go somewhere else.

If the topic is not clear, it is good that the two sides have maintained such a cooperative relationship.

But once the topic is clarified, it may be difficult for the relationship between the two sides to return to the beginning.

Therefore, he can't give the other party a chance to pick out the topic, and he must leave here immediately.

"The barbecue will be ready soon, shall we leave after eating?"

Fritz saw that Lin Quan was leaving, and tried to stay.

"No, captain, I have something to do temporarily, so I'll leave first, thank you and your sister-in-law for your hospitality!"

Seeing the back of Lin Quan's decisive departure, Shaaf and Alofs glanced at each other with a wry smile on their faces.

I really can't keep him!

"Disappointed?"

Alofs asked his old partner.

Coach Schaff shook his head:

"There is no hope in the first place, so why disappoint?"

He looked very open, and did not sigh.

There was no hope in the first place, but they only got the news and knew that Lin Quan's contract was only half a year away, and the liquidated damages were not expensive, so they had a little hope.

"Werder Bremen's stage is too small, staying here is a shackle for him, it's better to let him go and let him fly freely!"

"And what about De Bruyne?"

'Like him, there is no hope, and even De Bruyne's loyalty to Chelsea is much higher than Lim's loyalty to Barcelona.

After working with Lin Quan for a long time, Schaaf found that Lin Quan had no idea about returning to Barcelona.

It is precisely because of this that they have the slightest fluke of wanting to dig into the foot of the wall.

It's a pity that even if the other party doesn't return to Barcelona, it is unlikely that he will stay in Werder Bremen.

Alofs also understood that what the other party said was right, but there was still a hint of luck in his heart.

How do you know if it works without trying?

I tried and failed, so at least I won't regret it in the future.

'When De Bruyne comes back, I'll go and get in touch with him, he's different from Lin Quan, and there may not be a place for him at Chelsea.

Alofs sighed, no matter how small his hope was, he had to try it to know if it would work.

For the revival of Werder Bremen, even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance, he will not let it go.

……

Lin Quan guessed that the club would probably also offer De Bruyne a reservation, but he did not ask De Bruyne about it.

In the past few days, he has been training seriously and actively preparing for the upcoming league.

He counted his points and found that 20 points were not far away, which meant that he would soon be able to purchase a 20-point talent.

And the next talent, there is no doubt that he will definitely choose to reduce the injury aspect.
