A week later, Werder Bremen hosted Freiburg.

It was a normal game, but it was a bit unusual because of the two men competing for assists in the Bundesliga.

The game. De Bruyne and Lin Quan acted as if they were performing, taking turns sending exquisite passes to their team-mates.

In the 9th minute of the first half, Lin Quan assisted Peterson early to complete the goal, increasing his assist to 16, one assist behind De Bruyne.

Not to be outdone, De Bruyne soon set up Elia's goal to re-open the gap to two.

The players in Freiburg are furious!

What are you to us?

Swipe the record on us!

They began to launch a massive counteroffensive!

In the 36th minute, Freiburg's striker Cruise scored a goal to make the score 2:1.

Five minutes later, Freiburg's winger Machiadei was tripped in the box and the referee awarded a penalty.

Machiadei took it upon himself to score the ball and the two sides returned to the same running line.

Seeing the team go from leading to being equalized by the opposition, the Weser Stadium fans were depressed.

"How do you feel like the team played weirdly today!"

"Yes, Lin Quan didn't score today!"

"De Bruyne doesn't seem to pass the ball to him!"

"Huh? When you say this, I find that it seems to be true, is there some conflict between the two of them? ”

In the locker room, Schaaf was asking the question.

At the end of the first half, he called Lin Quan and De Bruyne over and asked why they didn't work together in this game.

If they can work together as usual, they can score at least three goals in the first half and not be equalised by the opposition like they are now.

In response to Schaff's inquiry, De Bruyne said hesitantly:

"Lin and I are competing for assists and I'm afraid I'll give him a good pass and he won't shoot and waste my good pass."

Shaff frowned and looked at Lin Quan.

Lin Quan spread his hands: "Kevin, I'm going to be sad when you think like this, when have I wasted your wonderful biography?" As long as you pass to my feet, it is my responsibility not to enter, and it is your responsibility not to pass it. ”

If it weren't for the relationship between the two who were good friends, based on De Bruyne's words just now, Lin Quan felt that the other party was suing him in front of the coach.

"Really? Then I apologize to you, if there is a good chance in the second half, I will pass the ball to you! ”

De Bruyne said sincerely, still a little guilty in his heart, feeling that he had spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Shafu was relieved to see that the misunderstanding between the two was resolved.

He's really worried about the conflict between these two!

Now it seems that I am overly worried.

It's just that the two compete for the assist list, how does it feel weird?

De Bruyne has a lot of assists, he is responsible for organizing the attack in the team, and the many assists show that he has performed very well and fulfilled his duties perfectly.

But Lin Quan's assists are also so many, what the hell is this?

He is a striker who scores so many goals, how can he have so many assists?

Schaff was puzzled, and the guests in the commentary table were also very surprised.

"Hehe, there's a very interesting technical statistic, I think everyone will be interested!"

"The second in the assist list is Lin Quan, and the first is De Bruyne, and the two of them happen to be on the same team!"

Another guest exclaimed: "The Werder Bremen Twins have been so impressive this season! ”

So far this season, Lin Quan has scored a total of 28 goals and completed 16 assists. The number of goals scored by one person accounts for 68.75% of the total goals scored by Werder Bremen! ”

De Bruyne, on the other hand, has scored 13 goals and provided 18 assists this season, accounting for 48.5 per cent of the team's total goals.

"Just from the above stats, you can see the huge role of the two of them in the attacking end of Werder Bremen."

Thanks to the excellent performances of the twin stars, Werder Bremen have scored a total of 64 goals in the league so far this season, second only to Bayern's 68 goals in attacking firepower.

If we don't have any idea about this statistic, then we can compare it to Borussia Dortmund in third place.

Borussia Dortmund, who had just swept Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0 at home, have scored just 54 goals so far, opening up a gap of more than 10 goals between the top two teams. ”

Although the outside world has more or less heard of the prestige of the Werder Bremen Gemini, they have not specifically felt how strong these two people are.

But at this time, seeing the various data displayed by the commentator, the fans were shocked:

Is Werder Bremen's twin so outrageous?

The two of them are close to the Bundesliga's single-season goal chart, and the other is about to break the assist list.

"Damn, what kind of shit luck did Werder Bremen take, how did they draw such two monster-level players!?"

"That's right, just one is a midfielder, the other is a striker, and no one is missing!"

"Don't say it, don't say it, and the team next door is going to cry!"

"Ten years of Werder Bremen fans uninvited, although these two people are currently playing for Werder Bremen, but neither of them is a Werder player, and when the loan period expires, they will leave Bremen!"

"Alas, as a ten-year-old fan who watched Werder Bremen's half-season games, I can't imagine the Parrot Army without Lin Quan and De Bruyne!"

"Yes, without the two of them, Werder Bremen's offensive firepower will definitely be greatly reduced!"

"It's not just a big discount, maybe it will fall back into the ranks of the relegation team......"

"Alas, Werder Bremen was brilliant more than ten years ago, and this season unexpectedly rose, who would have thought that it would be a flash in the pan, and when Lin Quan and De Bruyne left, the strength of the team was greatly reduced, and I am afraid that it will really be beaten back to its original shape."

"Suddenly I feel a little sympathy for Werder Bremen!"

"Sympathy +1!"

……

In fact, there is a statistic that the commentator has not announced, Lin Quan and De Bruyne not only dominate the top two of the assist list.

In the Golden Boot list, the two are also at the top, ranking first and fourth respectively.

Werder Bremen's attack this season has indeed been supported by these two men.

When they leave, Werder Bremen may need to adjust their attacking system in the frontcourt.

After the misunderstanding between the two sides was resolved in the second half, the twin stars of Werder Bremen regained their great power.

De Bruyne not only increased the number of times he cooperated with Lin Quan, but also frequently sent him wonderful passes.

Although he knew that he would help De Bruyne refresh the assist after he scored, Lin Quan still chose to score the ball steadily.

After tearfully eating two cakes and giving De Bruyne two assists, Werder Bremen beat Freiburg 4-2 at home.

Lin Quan, who scored two goals and provided an assist, forced a smile and hugged De Bruyne to celebrate the victory, but sighed in his heart.

Now, this season's assist list is completely out of play.

It's not only the award of the assist king that doesn't play, but also the 10 points that fly away with you!

With three assists in this game, De Bruyne's tally of assists has reached 20.

This is already equal to the Bundesliga assist record set by Ribery in the 2009-2010 season.

If he completes even one more assist in the next game, he will set a new assist record in the Bundesliga

Such an outstanding performance has attracted the attention of more and more teams.

Originally, there were many scouts who came to Bremen to inspect Lin Quan, and at this time, seeing De Bruyne's performance was so amazing, he also inspected him by the way.

To that end, Chelsea's veteran scout Deviser has returned to Germany to check on De Bruyne's form.

"What the hell is the idea on the club's side, why not call Kevin back? His performance in the Bundesliga is so good, and he is about to break the Bundesliga's assist record, isn't that enough to prove his quality? ”

Rookie scout George Evans has now turned regular because of his long-term follow-up of De Bruyne and Lin Quan.

Club manager Emnaro is very satisfied with his work, but regrets that he did not listen to his advice earlier and bring in Lin Quan.

Maybe it was because he thought George's vision was good, or maybe he thought he was lucky.

Chelsea have put George in charge of scouting young players under the age of 21 across the Bundesliga and reporting to Stamford Bridge if there are suitable seedlings.

Stamford Bridge will send a veteran scout like Deviser over to confirm the situation and consider buying them if their conditions meet Chelsea's requirements.

Although Abu spends a lot of money, he likes to buy big-name players.

However, the team still needs a large number of young players with strength and potential to replenish fresh blood.

These players can be used as substitutes, they can be loaned out, poached and slowly waiting for them to grow.

If a few first-class stars can be born among them, then Chelsea have earned it.

Even if there are no top stars, if they are sold by Chelsea, as long as they are not blind, they will basically not lose money.

Deviser shook his head and sighed:

"The situation at the club is complicated, the head coach has not been decided, the current tactical style of play has changed too quickly, the team's record has dropped significantly, and the fans and players are rebelling......

He's been at Chelsea for so many years, and he's only seen it once in a chaotic Chelsea like the one he has now, and that was when his previous owner, Bates, was not doing well enough to make ends meet, and it was almost impossible to run a business.

But at that time, Abu took over, and immediately injected huge sums of money to help Chelsea get out of the predicament and usher in their own peak.

But now, this situation has nothing to do with money, it is completely Abu's arbitrary behavior.

He likes to fire coaches too much, and in just a few years, the head coaches who were fired by him can form a team.

Chelsea have paid enough compensation to these sacked coaches in recent years to buy a Torres.

Di Matteo's coaching ability is indeed not strong, but Chelsea have had a good first half of the season under his leadership.

However, Chelsea lost to Manchester United in the league because of a miscalculation, and then the mentality exploded and lost back-to-back games.

Abu, who already looked down on him, fired his squid in a fit of rage.

After Di Matteo was fired, his successor, Benitez, did not perform as well as him.

Under his leadership, Chelsea's Club World Cup journey was humiliated, the Champions League was also out, the FA Cup was also out, and the big four were about to be empty!

This has left the Blues fans frustrated.

Benitez has only been in the squad for just over two months, and the Stamford Bridge fans are already scolding him.

Not only that, but in the 16th minute of every game, Blues fans stand up and applaud in honour of Di Matteo, who has been sacked.

This made Abu very embarrassed, and completely cut off the idea of renewing his contract with Benitez, and just wanted to change the coach as soon as possible after the end of the season.

With such turmoil within the Blues, Rafael Benitez has basically been a monk for a day, hitting the clock and swinging the bell, with no intention of promoting Academy talent for Chelsea.

As for De Bruyne, who is out on loan, just wait for the next manager, he doesn't have the heart to do that anyway.

Rafael Benitez has also been miserable, and his managerial career has not been smooth since leaving Liverpool.

In 2010, after only half a season in charge of Inter Milan, Moratti was sacked due to the team's poor results.

After two years of unemployment, I finally found a job.

As a result, after arriving at Chelsea, he was completely unaccustomed to Chelsea's tactical style of play, and he could not control the dressing room.

If it weren't for the fact that Abu fired the coach too hard, causing other coaches to be reluctant to come to Stamford Bridge, with Abu's character, Benitez would have been fired a long time ago.

Chelsea are in such disarray that De Bruyne himself is a little hesitant.

He's doing well at Werder Bremen right now and is worried about not getting regular minutes if he leaves the Bundesliga and returns to the Premier League.

If he hasn't proven himself in the Bundesliga, he'll be okay with being a substitute at Chelsea.

But now, after a very successful season with the team, De Bruyne's mentality has changed.

He thinks he has what it takes to compete for a starting spot, and if Chelsea don't give him a starting spot, he'll really need to think about it.

Seeing that he was about to go to the Allianz Arena to challenge Bayern Munich, De Bruyne looked like he was in a state of mind on the training ground, which made Lin Quan a little worried.

So he took the initiative to go up and ask him about the situation.

De Bruyne explained the chaos at Chelsea and his own concerns, before asking:

'Lin, do you think I should return to Chelsea when my loan expires?'

His fears are realistic, with the '14 World Cup just around the corner, and the Belgian national team is likely to drop him if he returns to Chelsea and can't play.

Although he is loyal to Chelsea Football Club, he is also grateful to have dug him out of the lower leagues and brought him to the big big stage of the big five leagues.

However, between the national team and the club, De Bruyne will definitely not hesitate to choose the national team.

Lin Quan knows that Mourinho is likely to be the head coach of Chelsea, but he is not sure at the moment.

Historically, Mourinho was abandoned by Real Madrid after losing the Champions League and the league title.

He doesn't know how big the butterfly effect of his appearance is, if Real Madrid is not eliminated by Dort, but enters the Champions League final, then it is difficult to say.

Even if he didn't win the title in the end, reaching the final would prove Mourinho's quality, at least under his leadership, Real Madrid is really moving forward step by step.

So he had to comfort De Bruyne and say:

'Don't rush to make a decision, Chelsea's head coach hasn't been decided yet, and when the head coach is decided and the team's tactical play is decided, you can see if you fit in with the manager's tactics.

If you feel like you can adapt, then I support you to return to Stamford Bridge, if not, I think you might as well stay at Werder Bremen! ”

Mourinho actually coached De Bruyne for a while, and De Bruyne did not perform well in his hands.

De Bruyne's current defensive ability has improved, but it is still not up to the standard defensive player.

And in Mourinho's hands, except for a superstar like Cristiano Ronaldo, who has the privilege, all other players need to play defensively.

De Bruyne will not have the tactical status of Werder Bremen in Mourinho's hands, and his place will likely be placed above the wing-back.

Wing-backs, on the other hand, have to take on a heavy defensive role, at least to be able to limit the attack of the opposing wingers.

De Bruyne is weak in physical confrontation and deviant in defensive ability, and the Premier League emphasizes physical confrontation.

If Mourinho had placed him in this position, his performance would have dropped significantly, and it would have been impossible for him to perform as well as Werder Bremen.

In this way, in Mourinho's mind, it is likely that he will be labeled as a parallel import, and De Bruyne will have less chance of playing at that time.

From this point of view, Lin Quan felt that De Bruyne might as well stay in Werder Bremen.

De Bruyne nodded, Bremen is the team they have played for a season, and they are somewhat emotional.

He also didn't want him and Lin Quan to leave, and Bremen's results would plummet immediately.

However, with Bremen's financial resources, I am afraid that he may not be able to afford him.

'By the way, how many years did you sign a contract with Chelsea?'

Lin Quan saw that De Bruyne had the idea of staying in the team, so he asked curiously.

He remembers when De Bruyne moved to Wolfsburg, which spent 25 million euros.

This price is a little pressure for Werder Bremen, but with a little effort, it is not impossible to make up.

During last year's transfer period, Werder Bremen made a small profit by selling people, and counting the financial balance of previous seasons, there is a budget of about 20 to 30 million euros in the account that can be used to buy people.

But if the price is a little higher, I'm afraid it's really hopeless.

A player's transfer price has to do with how much he is worth and how long he has the rest of his contract.

The high value makes the transfer fee naturally expensive.

However, if a player has little time left on his contract, there is a good chance that the transfer fee will be less than his value.

"After five years, the contract will not expire until 2017!"

De Bruyne guessed Lin Quan's thoughts, and as soon as he opened his mouth, his thoughts were shattered.

'Uh, well, it looks like the initiative is in Chelsea's hands.'

Lin Quan sighed, the five-year contract has only passed for a year, and there are still four years left.

For such a long time, there is no need for Chelsea to be in a hurry, but it is the buyer who will be in a hurry.

When the Bundesliga first started last year, the German transfer market estimated his value at 18 million euros.

Now I am afraid that it has exceeded 20 million euros, and if Werder Bremen wants to buy him, it is impossible not to pay more than 25 million.

Chelsea are not stupid, they can't fail to see De Bruyne's value and will not sell it at a low price.

"Actually, I'm a little worried!"

De Bruyne said suddenly.

"What?"

'If there are other teams who submit offers to Chelsea for a higher price than Werder Bremen, it will be more difficult for me to stay in Bremen!'
