Five professionals farewell

In winter, Werder Bremen André Silva signed RB Leipzig on loan and signaled that the club has great ambitions. However, the 29-year-old attacker has not managed to influence the Bremen game and confirmed the green-whites that there is no further employment. “The way the loan went, both sides have certainly not imagined it,” said Peter Niemeyer, Head of License Area, the “Kicker”.
After his debut against Bayern, five consecutive starting starts followed, in which Silva could only score one goal and failed against Freiburg from the penalty point, among other things. During this period there were five defeats and only one win. “We knew that when he switched to us, he was not 100 % fit – and then he came into a team that was totally struggling for stability. In a construct in which nothing was right for a while – and he couldn’t use his scor opportunities,” said Niemeyer. In the first half of the season, Silva had distributed 306 minutes over 15 games for Leipzig.
Silva was sitting on the bench for over 90 minutes at the end of March 3-0 at the end of March, and since then the Bremen have been unbeaten for six games and are allowed to dream of Europe. “We win, the team comes back into a flow – these are the mechanisms of sport. Of course it went unhappily for him.” The Leipzig loan was only used in the 2-1 in Stuttgart – for five minutes.
ISSA Kaboré, which was loaned by Manchester City in winter, has an even more serious stand. Since the game in Kiel, the outdoor car player has only been in the squad and got no time – his time on the Weser will also end in summer. In addition to Silva and Kaboré, Milos Veljkovic, Anthony Jung and Oliver Burke are also said goodbye to the last home game of the season against RB Leipzig.
