At 6 am on December 19, 2013, in a room on the third floor of a five-story apartment in downtown London, a young man woke up early.
He opened the window, and a gust of cold wind blew into the house, using the chilly air of early winter to instantly cool down the warm room. The young man shivered, but he didn't close the window, but just stood there, looking out at the empty street.
His heart was already very cold, and he didn't care about another gust of cold wind.
Looking at the icy street outside the window, he knew that he was about to bid farewell to this icy fog. He has no feelings for this temporary rented apartment. From the summer of 2012 to the present, he has lived here for less than half a year.
Recalling the summer of 2012, when he was full of ambition and enthusiasm, he came to England from Belgium, came to London, and came to Chelsea. He still remembers that unforgettable summer, when Chelsea coach Villas-Boas received him warmly, and then chatted with him about the team's future vision and his expectations for him.
Boas said, I am going to loan you to Germany and come back in a year, the future of Chelsea is yours.
He was very happy and agreed to Boas' loan proposal. After staying in London for less than a month, he packed his luggage, said goodbye to the apartment he had just rented, said goodbye to Boas, and then headed to Germany, to Bremen.
During his one year in Bremen, he was very successful, played 33 times in total, scored 10 goals, assisted 9 goals, and became the core of Bremen's field.
Bremen discussed with him and wanted to keep him for another season, but he refused. He firmly said that I want to go back to play in the Premier League and the Champions League.
But he didn't expect that half a year later, his words at that time would become a joke.
Want to play in the Premier League? In half a year, the Premier League played no more than five times and started only once.
Want to play in the Champions League? And in Chelsea's list of registered players for the Champions League this season, his name is not at all.
He was disappointed. He is desperate.
And all of this was caused by the arrival of one person, Mourinho.
At the end of 2013, he came back from Germany with hope, but Boas, who bought him and appreciated him, left. The new coach is Mourinho, who entered the palace for the second time.
After a while, he found out that Mourinho didn't like him.

Mourinho is a very rigorous coach. He emphasizes tactical discipline and full defense. He doesn't like creative and talented offensive players like him very much. Many talented offensive players often don't care so much about defense, which is what Mourinho taboos the most.
Mourinho likes midfield players who can actively participate in defense, such as Essien and Ramirez, he is not the kind of fast wing players that Mourinho likes, such as Robben and Duff, he also no.
He is just a player who is "smart and energetic, but not active in fighting and lacking in teamwork".
This sentence was said by Mourinho.
Those words shattered his proud self-esteem.
He knew it was time for him to leave.
When he went to Mourinho to discuss a transfer, Mourinho agreed very simply: "As long as there is a suitable bid, you can go wherever you want."
At least 18 million euros. Mourinho told him.
He was completely desperate.
He thought about returning to Bremen, and Bremen also wanted him, but the German couldn't afford the transfer fee that Mourinho wanted.
The price is a bit high for me. He felt a little inferior.
Unexpectedly, a while ago, things suddenly turned around. The former Bundesliga opponent Wolfsburg threw an olive branch to him. Wolfsburg decided to meet Mourinho's request and paid 18 million euros to bring him back to Germany.
Chelsea has agreed to Wolfsburg's bid very simply, and they made an appointment this afternoon to discuss transfer matters at the club.
So he woke up very early today, and now he wants to leave London immediately, and he doesn't want to stay for a moment. Every plant and tree here seems to be mocking him and despising him, which makes his young heart restless.
Go back to Germany, back there, I am still the core of the all-powerful midfielder.
After breathing the fresh air for a long time, his mood improved a lot. He didn't close the window, letting the cold wind continue to blow in.
He got dressed, prepared to tidy up the house, and then prepared to go to the club in the afternoon to discuss specific contract details with Wolfsburg's transfer representatives.
He poured himself a glass of water and was about to drink it when he heard someone knocking on the door.
He froze.

So early, who will come to him? He has few friends at Chelsea.
He came to the door and slowly opened the door. At this time, an oriental face came into his eyes.
"Hi De Bruyne, I'm Kim Tag. I'm knocking on your door so early, I hope I didn't disturb you."
De Bruyne was taken aback: "Kim Tiger? Are you Mr. Kim Tiger, the head coach of Manchester United?"
Jin Taige nodded: "I'm glad you still remember me. May I go in and have a chat with you?"
De Bruyne quickly invited Kim Tiger into the room: "Mr. Tiger, what would you like to drink?"
"A glass of warm water, thank you." Jin Taige rubbed his hands, "I didn't expect the weather in London to be colder than Manchester. I only stood outside for half an hour before I felt frozen."
De Bruyne handed Kim Tiger a glass of water, and then asked in surprise: "Mr. Tiger, have you stood outside for half an hour?"
Jin Taige drank the warm water in one breath, and then let out a long breath of satisfaction: "I came at 5:30, but seeing your room with the curtains drawn, I guess you haven't woken up yet, so I stood outside For a while. Just now I saw you open the window to ventilate, I knew you were awake, so I hurried upstairs."
This time De Bruyne was completely shocked: "Mr. Tiger, you were frozen outside the door for half an hour just to see me?"
Kintag shook his head: "It's more than that. I just finished the League Cup in Stoke yesterday afternoon, then returned to Manchester, and then I took a taxi for two hours to London, and stayed in a nearby hotel very late. .No, I came here early in the morning."
De Bruyne suddenly didn't know what to say, he looked at Kim Tag in a daze.
Jin Taige handed him the cup: "Can you pour me another cup of warm water? Thank you."
"Okay." De Bruyne stood up, he was a little flustered and restless, and even spilled a little on the table when pouring water. He handed the cup to Kim Tae-gul.
"Mr. Tiger, you have worked so hard to find me, what's the matter?"
Jin Taige took the cup, drank the warm water in one gulp, then put down the cup and looked at De Bruyne, and said sincerely: "I have only one purpose in coming to London today, which is to sign you and bring you back Manchester!" (Successor of the Red Devils)
