Chapter 122 Gemini Conflict?(2/2)

Although Abramovich spends money like water, he likes to buy big-name players.

But the team still needs a large number of young players with strength and potential to add fresh blood.

These players can serve as substitutes, can be loaned out, and can be poached and slowly waited for them to mature.

If a few first-class stars can be born among them, then Chelsea will make a profit.

Even if there is no top star, if it is sold through Chelsea, as long as it is not misjudged, basically there will be no loss.

Devise shook his head and sighed:

"The club's situation is relatively complicated. The head coach has not yet been chosen. The current tactics have changed too quickly, causing a serious decline in the team's record. Fans and players are rebelling..."

He has been coming to Chelsea for so many years, and he has only seen Chelsea in such a chaotic state once, and that was when the previous owner Bates' mismanagement caused Chelsea to be unable to make ends meet and almost be unable to continue operating.

But at that time, Abramovich took over and immediately injected huge sums of money to help Chelsea get out of trouble and usher in its peak period.

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

He likes to fire coaches so much that in just a few years, all the coaches he fired have formed a team.

The compensation Chelsea has paid to these fired coaches in recent years is enough to buy another Torres.

Di Matteo's coaching ability is indeed not strong, but under his leadership, Chelsea's record in the first half of the season was still very good.

However, due to a misjudgment, Chelsea lost to Manchester United in the league. After that, their mentality exploded and they lost consecutive games.

Abu, who originally disliked him, fired him in anger.

After Di Matteo was fired, his successor Benitez's performance was not as good as him.

Under his leadership, Chelsea was eliminated from the Club World Cup in disgrace, the Champions League was also eliminated, and the FA Cup was eliminated as well. It looked like they were about to lose all four!

This made Blues fans very dissatisfied.

It has only been more than two months since Benitez joined the team, and the fans at Stamford Bridge have already begun to curse him.

Not only that, at the 16th minute of every game, Blues fans will stand up and applaud to commemorate Di Matteo who was fired.

This made Abramovich very embarrassed, and he completely gave up the idea of ​​renewing the contract with Benitez, and just wanted to change coaches after the end of this season.

With such turmoil within the Blues, Benitez basically worked as a monk and failed, and had no intention of promoting Chelsea's youth talents.

As for De Bruyne, who is on loan, just wait for the next head coach. Anyway, he has no intention of doing so.

Benitez is also miserable. Since leaving Liverpool, his coaching career has not been very smooth.

In 2010, he coached Inter Milan for only half a season before he was fired by Moratti due to the team's poor record.

After being unemployed for two years, I finally found a job.

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

If Abramovich hadn't fired the coach so hard that other coaches were reluctant to come to Stamford Bridge, Benitez would have been fired long ago given Abramovich's character.

Chelsea was in such chaos that De Bruyne himself was a little hesitant.

He is now doing well in Werder Bremen. If he leaves the Bundesliga and returns to the Premier League, he is worried that he will not be able to get stable playing time.

If he has not proven his ability in the Bundesliga, then he can accept being a substitute at Chelsea.

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

He believes that his strength is enough to compete for the starting position. If Chelsea does not give him the starting position, he really needs to think about it carefully.

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

So he took the initiative to step forward and ask him about the situation.

De Bruyne introduced Chelsea's chaotic situation and his concerns, and then asked:

"Lin, do you think I should return to Chelsea after my loan period expires?"

His worries are very realistic. The 2014 World Cup is coming soon. If he returns to Chelsea and cannot play in the game at this time, the Belgian national team will probably give up on him.

Although he is very loyal to Chelsea Club, he is also very grateful to the other party for discovering him from the lower leagues and bringing him to the big stage of the five major leagues.

However, between the national team and the club, De Bruyne will definitely choose the national team without hesitation.

Lin Quan knows that Chelsea's head coach candidate is likely to be Mourinho, but he is not sure yet.

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

He didn't know how big of a butterfly effect his appearance would bring. If Real Madrid hadn't been eliminated by Dortmund and instead entered the Champions League final, everything would be hard to say.

Even if they don't win the championship in the end, reaching the final can prove Mourinho's strength. At least under his leadership, Real Madrid is really moving forward step by step.

So he had to comfort De Bruyne and said:

"Don't be in a hurry to make a decision. Chelsea's head coach has not been decided yet. Once the head coach is chosen and the team's tactics are decided, you can then see if you are suitable for the head coach's tactics.

If you think you can adapt, then I support you to return to Stamford Bridge. If you can't adapt, I think it is better to stay at Werder Bremen!"

Mourinho actually coached De Bruyne for a period of time, and De Bruyne's performance under his hands was not good.

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

In the hands of Mourinho, except for superstars like Ronaldo who have special privileges, all other players need to participate in defense.

De Bruyne will not have as high a tactical status as Werder Bremen in the hands of Mourinho, and his position is likely to be placed as a full midfielder.

The winger has to bear heavy defensive responsibilities, at least he must be able to limit the opponent's winger's attack.

De Bruyne is weak in physical confrontation and has poor defensive ability. The Premier League emphasizes physical confrontation.

If Mourinho puts him in this position, his performance will inevitably decline sharply, and he will never be able to perform as well as he did at Werder Bremen.

As a result, in Mourinho's mind, he is likely to be labeled as a parallel import, and De Bruyne's chances of playing will be even smaller.

From this perspective, Lin Quan feels that De Bruyne might as well just stay at Werder Bremen.

De Bruyne nodded. Werder Bremen was the team they had played for for one season, so they had some feelings for it.

He also didn't want Bremen's performance to plummet as soon as he and Lin Quan left.

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

"By the way, how many years does your contract with Chelsea last?"

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

He remembered that when De Bruyne transferred to Wolfsburg, Wolfsburg spent 25 million euros.

This price is a little bit stressful for Werder Bremen, but if you work hard, it's not impossible to get it.

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

But if the price were higher, I'm afraid there would really be no hope.

A player's transfer price is related to his worth and the remaining time on his contract.

If you are worth a lot, the transfer fee will naturally be expensive.

But if a player's contract time is running out, the transfer fee is likely to be lower than his worth at this time.

"I signed it for five years, and the contract doesn't expire until 2017!"

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

"Uh, okay, it seems that the initiative of the transfer is in Chelsea's hands."

Lin Quan sighed. Only one year of the five-year contract has passed, and there are still four years left.

For such a long time, there is no need for Chelsea to be anxious. On the contrary, it is the buyer who is anxious.

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

Now I'm afraid it has exceeded 20 million euros. If Werder Bremen wants to buy him, it is impossible not to spend more than 25 million.

Chelsea are not stupid. They cannot see the value of De Bruyne and will not sell him at a low price.

"Actually, I'm a little worried!"

De Bruyne suddenly said.

"What?"

"If another team submits an offer to Chelsea and the price is higher than Werder Bremen's, then it will be more difficult for me to stay in Bremen!"
