No one wants this honour: Werder star on the brink of a dubious record | OneFootball

Werder Bremen's endurance runner Senne Lynen is on the verge of reaching a milestone that no professional likely aims for: the club's internal record for the most Bundesliga games without a goal.

The Belgian, who once again shone with a strong 12.56 kilometers run in the 1-1 draw against Cologne, is indispensable in the defensive midfield. However, things just don't seem to click in the opponent's penalty area.

After 75 appearances without a goal, Lynen has now equaled club legend Klaus Fichtel. If he doesn't score in the upcoming North Derby against HSV, he would be the sole holder of this not-so-glorious title.

At Werder, they don't want to make a big deal out of it. Manager Clemens Fritz emphasized to 'Bild' that one shouldn't get too fixated on such numbers.

"The longer and more extensively you deal with such topics, the longer it takes to overcome them," said Fritz.
