Chapter 123 Win a championship for the team before leaving!

In the 23rd round of the league, Werder Bremen visited the Allianz Arena for the third time.

Unlike the previous two times where they were lucky enough to win, in this game, Werder Bremen played the most difficult game of the season.

Bayern was in full form and fired on all cylinders in this game. Robben and Martinez scored two goals in the first half, securing an early lead.

Werder Bremen then got a goal back from Lin Quan, which was considered a return of sorts.

If they continue playing at this pace, even if Werder Bremen loses, it won't be such a bad loss.

But in the 44th minute, Bremen defender Ploedel was sent off with a red card for handball in the penalty area. With one man less, Bremen was completely passive.

With Ribery's penalty kick scored steadily, the score on the field has widened to 3:1. To make matters worse, in the 49th minute, facing the siege of Bayern, Werder Bremen's defender made a low-level mistake.

When Selassie was clearing the ball, he kicked it into his own goal, helping Bayern score another goal.

Just two minutes later, Gomez volleyed into the goal in the penalty area, expanding the score to 5:1. Facing Bayern's violent attack, Werder Bremen's players were completely stunned by the opponent! Bayern fans in the Allianz Arena were a little bit unbelievable, thinking that this would be a fierce battle.

Unexpectedly, the team won, and it was a big win!

They were as happy as if it was a holiday, or even happier than a holiday! After three games of being disgusted by their opponents, Werder Bremen has replaced Monchengladbach as Bayern's number one victim! And today, they can finally vent their anger at home and defeat this damn opponent.

Before this game, Bayern had never gained any advantage against Werder Bremen this year.

They lost both cup games, losing two championships. They were tied by their opponents after leading by two goals in the league. They began to feel a little unconfident. Did Werder Bremen seem to be the nemesis of Bayern? The big win in this game finally helped them get rid of this psychological shadow.

Bayern is still the Bundesliga giant, and no one can shake their dominance.

Although the team was one player short, Lin Quan and De Bruyne still did not give up the attack.

Even if I die, I will die on the way to charge.

In the 58th minute, Lin Quan made consecutive passes in the frontcourt and finally passed the ball while almost losing his balance before being brought down by the opponent.

De Bruyne met the ball with a fierce shot, which was a high-quality long shot, helping the team score another goal and changing the score to 2:5. This goal reminded Bayern that although they had a huge advantage, the opposing Werder Bremen was not completely powerless to fight back.

If they become complacent because they are in the lead, they might be overtaken by the opponent.

If Bayern Munich is leading by four goals but still gets equalized by the opponent, they can just find a piece of tofu to kill themselves!

In the final stage of the game, Bayern's backcourt players guarded Lin Quan and De Bruyne tightly, and both of them were trapped in a double-team by the opponent.

With one man down on the team and their teammates unable to step up to help them, the two tried hard to attack and try to change the score.

But under Bayern's iron-clad defense, the two's efforts seemed in vain.

In the end, Bayern Munich defeated Werder Bremen 5:2 at home, avenging their previous defeat and getting rid of their anger.

Werder Bremen lost two of the six games in the second half of the season, both of which were against top teams.

In the first half of the season, the team was able to compete with Bayern and Dortmund and tenaciously drew with their opponents.

But in the second half of the season, after being thoroughly studied by their opponents, Werder Bremen lost its magic.

Perhaps when facing teams that are weaker than them, they can still defeat them, or even win big games one after another.

But facing these teams that are stronger than them, it has become very difficult for them to win.

The league loss to Bayern made both Lin Quan and De Bruyne very depressed.

This game made them all clearly realize the huge gap between Werder Bremen and the top teams.

"I have decided that after the season, I will return to Chelsea!"

De Bruyne finally made up his mind. Even if he would face fierce competition if he returned, he was willing to give it a try.

If he continues to stay in Werder Bremen, he may still be a tactical core, and even become the team's number one star after Lin Quan leaves.

However, staying at Werder Bremen could not help him achieve honors, or even help him continue to improve.

If he just intended to use Werder Bremen as a stepping stone to a top club, then now his goal has been achieved and he does not need to stay here any longer to gain the favor of the top club.

"Have you thought about it?"

Lin Quan sighed when he heard De Bruyne's decision.

Before this game, he might even give De Bruyne some advice.

But after the game, even the last bit of thought left in his mind disappeared. It would be too hypocritical to try to persuade De Bruyne again.

"Well, I've thought about it!"

The style of the Bundesliga is very suitable for him, but there are not many strong teams in the Bundesliga. Both Dortmund and Bayern have no shortage of organizational cores, so he will have no place if he goes there.

And after his loan experience with Werder Bremen, he doesn't want to stay in the Bundesliga and be enemies with Werder Bremen.

Therefore, the best option is to return to Stamford Bridge, unless another giant is willing to spend a lot of money to buy him during this period.

"What about you? Where are you going next season?"

After talking about De Bruyne's whereabouts, De Bruyne asked Lin Quan a question.

Lin Quan smiled and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Bayern."

"I think Bayern is pretty good, they have a strong squad and the head coach is your adoptive father. I'm sure you won't be like me at Chelsea where I can't even get playing time!"

De Bruyne said enviously that compared to his own uncertain future, Lin Quan's path was obviously brighter.

"You make it sound like I'm a gigolo. It makes me not want to go to Bayern anymore!"

"I don't mean that. I really think Bayern is pretty good. To be more precise, I think Coach Guardiola is pretty good!"

"Tsk, I didn't realize you admired him so much. Why haven't I heard you talk about it before?"

De Bruyne scratched his head: "You don't know, for technical midfielders like us, it is such a lucky thing to play under Coach Guardiola!"

De Bruyne's words surprised Lin Quan. He didn't expect Guardiola to have such a strong appeal in the football world.

If you think about it carefully, Guardiola, like Mourinho, has his own unique and distinctive characteristics that can attract a large number of players with similar styles.

They are indeed the two most outstanding coaches in the world! …

Werder Bremen had just lost to Bayern Munich in the league, and then drew with Dortmund in the quarter-finals of the German Cup.

This is really the case when you are unlucky and even drinking cold water will get your teeth stuck.

They felt unlucky, and Dortmund also felt unlucky.

Since defeating Werder Bremen in the 18th round of the league, Dortmund seems to be cursed, with players getting injured in every game.

Gotze, Reus, Schmelzer, Lewandowski and others were injured or sick one after another.

The most serious injury was to Reus, who first sprained his ankle, then injured his knee, and before his injury could heal, he strained his groin.

Since joining Dortmund, Reus's injury frequency has increased significantly, and his glass man physique has gradually begun to show.

"Haha, Dortmund is full of injuries, and will soon face the challenge of their opponents in the Champions League knockout stage at home. Dortmund may choose to give up this game!"

"I don't think so. Although Dortmund didn't win in the Champions League away game last week, they scored two away goals. As long as they draw at home, they can advance. The pressure is not that great!"

"That's right, the Westfalen Stadium is known as the devil's home stadium. The Shakhtar team couldn't beat their opponent at their home stadium, so there will be even less hope when they go to the opponent's home stadium!"

"On the contrary, we helped Dortmund eliminate Bayern. We are the strongest opponent left in the German Cup. As long as Dortmund eliminates us, the German Cup trophy will be easy for them!"

"Damn, if you say that, then Dortmund should thank us?"

The players of Werder Bremen initially thought they had an opportunity, but after some analysis, they felt that the game would become more difficult for them.

"Lewandowski's injury is not serious and he should be back. Gotze is infected with the flu. I don't know how he is now, but it is said that he has participated in the team's training, so there should be no problem!"

Schaaf coughed lightly, stopping the players' discussion.

"The only confirmed injured players are Reus and Schmelzer, but Nuri Sahin's return fills this gap. Last season, Dortmund did not have Reus, but the offensive firepower was still strong. This season, with Sahin's return, Reus' absence will not have much impact."

Schaaf's analysis made the players start wailing.

I thought I could take advantage of the enemy's camp being full of wounded soldiers to gain some advantage, but after some analysis, it seems that there is no advantage to be gained.

"Schmelzer is Dortmund's main full-back. His absence has a great impact on Dortmund!"

Seeing the players wailing, Schaaf calmed them down.

"In short, don't pin your hopes of winning on the opponent's players not being able to play. What we need to do is to constantly improve our own strength and work hard to bring out our own advantages!"

The loss to Bayern was a big blow to the players' confidence, and Schaaf himself didn't have much hope.

For Werder Bremen, being able to reach the quarter-finals and even eliminating Bayern Munich is already an over-achievement.

With their strength, they should have been eliminated in the last round.

Lin Quan and De Bruyne looked at each other and saw the burning fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

Obviously, neither of them could accept the result of failure.

With the team confirmed to leave Werder Bremen after the end of this season, this game may be the only valuable championship trophy they can leave for Werder Bremen this season.

So, no need to say anything, just give it a try!

"Lin, I want to learn from you the technique of getting rid of the defender after getting the ball. Can you teach me?"

There are still five days before the game, and the entire Werder Bremen is in intensive preparation.

That morning, De Bruyne found Lin Quan and asked him to learn his technique of getting rid of the ball.

Lin Quan had played the role of organizing the offense when De Bruyne was injured.

Although that period was not long, his performance in several games was remarkable.

Later, after De Bruyne returned from injury, he began to pester Lin Quan to learn from him the 45-degree cross technique that he performed in the game.

In addition to this technique, Lin Quan's ability to get rid of defensive players after receiving the ball also makes De Bruyne very envious.

It's just that he was shy and had always been too embarrassed to ask for advice.

After all, I have already learned arc passes and elevator balls from the opponent, so asking for more would seem a bit greedy.

But now, in order to win the game, De Bruyne can't care about so much.

Be shameless if you can, as long as it can help the team, everything is worth it.

"good!"

To De Bruyne's surprise, he thought the other party would not nod easily.

But I didn't expect Lin Quan to agree so easily.

"Ah? You don't want to reconsider it?"

De Bruyne was stunned. Such a unique skill can be taught just by preaching?

"Don't think about it. You are not an outsider. Why should we be so polite to each other?"

In fact, Lin Quan had long discovered that it was difficult for De Bruyne to pass threatening balls after being closely guarded, so he had considered long ago whether he should teach him his own escaping skills.

However, De Bruyne did not speak up himself, and Lin Quan was not in a position to speak up himself.

After spending a long time with De Bruyne, you will find that this guy is a person with a strong self-esteem.

He is introverted and unsociable, thoughtful and a little sensitive.

This is probably due to the sequelae of being excluded and discriminated against by the host family when he was a child! "Well, good brother, for life, if you need my help in the future, as long as you ask, I will do my best to do it for you!"

De Bruyne was very touched. It was worth it to gain such a friendship in just one year at Werder Bremen!

It’s a pity that he already has a new club, otherwise it would be great to have him go to Chelsea with me!

Chelsea is lacking a striker now!

De Bruyne has played very comfortably this season as the two have worked together. If possible, he really hopes to be tied to Lin Quan forever.

Which midfielder wouldn’t like a striker who can’t miss the ball?

In fact, Lin Quan also thinks that Ding Ding’s passing is very good, and having him as a teammate makes him feel a lot more relaxed.

Therefore, he is also looking forward to the next collaboration with Tintin.

But I don’t know how long I will have to wait.

After five days of intense preparation, the German Cup quarter-finals kicked off on February 28.

Werder Bremen played at home against the challenging Dortmund.

This game can be said to be the most important one of all the remaining games for them this season! Whether they will end up with nothing or win the German Cup depends on this game!
