Chapter 121 Disappointing transfer market
Listening to the roar of "Xie Yalong, get out of class out" by the fans in the field, the Olympic team's Olympic tour was completely over, and they left behind only the embarrassing performance of the "shocking" that made people cry without tears. The end of the Olympics also made the two important competitions of this sports year completely ended, and the sports fans' eyes seemed to be about to return to the league game again. Because Spain raised the Delaune Cup in the European Cup, which had already ended before, the Olympics also ended at this time, and all the inspections of players should be over. Putting aside the other major
Not to mention the league, the summer transfer market of the Bundesliga this year seems to be a bit surprising. It is not that big money is surprising, but that it cannot be said to be a small business, and it is even a little unprofitable. The transfer of the Bundesliga, although there is no "transfer storm" like Bayern spent 70 million euros to introduce Ribery and Tony last year, there are still many large investments, especially the two teams, Hamburg and Wolfsburg. Their investment in this year's transfer market exceeded 30 million euros, which can be called the two teams with the largest recruitment efforts! But the investment of the two teams with the largest investment is also
It is only 30 million, and almost all the transfer investments of teams with relatively high strength, which is obviously low. There are few high-quality signings in the Bundesliga this year, and even Bayern Munich, who changed coaches, seemed extremely calm. Overall, the intensity of Bundesliga transfers this summer has been much smaller than last year. Last summer, the total investment of Bundesliga teams reached an astonishing 170 million euros, while this year is only 73 million, less than half of last year. It seems that after a "money burning" season, the Bundesliga heroes generally returned to the principle and began to invest cautiously.
In 2019, the investment of a team of Bayern was as high as 79 million euros. The two largest teams this year Hamburg and Wolfsburg combined are only 60 million euros. Moreover, the only teams that invested more than 10 million euros this year are Hamburg, Wolfsburg, Schalke 04, Leverkusen and Hoffenheim. Bundesliga boss Bayern has even more shockingly zero investment, which is also a rare situation in previous years. You should know that last year alone, there were no less than ten Bundesliga teams with investments of more than 10 million euros. It seems that compared with previous years, the Bundesliga transfer market this season is indeed much deserted!
But low investment does not mean that the Bundesliga transfer this summer has lost its highlight. This year, the Bundesliga has also ushered in many surprising new faces. For example, Wolfsburg introduced two Italian internationals, Barzali and Zaccardo, in one go, which makes people see their ambitions for the new season. The Dutch midfielder Englar, who shined in the European Cup, came to Schalke 04, and his performance is also expected. At the same time, teams such as Leverkusen, Hamburg also introduced many new stars that are paid attention to by giants in the transfer market, making people more confident in the future of the Bundesliga. In addition, famous stars such as Falfan and Bolarus, who are familiar to people, have also come to the Bundesliga together, and they will also start a new career here.
On the other hand, the Bundesliga transfer market has also lost many stars this summer. Van der Fate switched to Real Madrid, Kompany joined Manchester City, Mela went away from Galatasaray, and Marcelinho returned to Brazil... The departure of these stars is also regrettable. But at the same time, their departure also stimulated the signing of their respective teams, a typical example is Hamburg. After losing Van der Fate, they bought Neves, Silva and Jansen one after another, effectively filling the vacancy left by the Dutchman after the departure and ensuring the team's competitiveness.
The transfer market this summer also showed two extremes, either low investments like Bayern and Bremen, or low investments like Wolfsburg and Hamburg, and they spent a lot of money and introduced a large number of stars. However, their respective approaches are still difficult to see the effect, but people's questions have come one after another: Will teams such as Hamburg and Wolfsburg bring people a refreshing feeling after the major change of blood? Or will teams such as Bayern and Bremen bring about a refreshing feeling? Or will they fall into internal strife caused by the failure of the star running-in? Are teams such as Bayern and Bremen, who have made minor repairs and made ups, really as perfect as they think?
This summer, although there are not many big moves in the Bundesliga transfer market, with only three transfers of more than 10 million euros, and the "market king" Barzali is only worth 14 million euros. However, there are still many highlights. On the one hand, the inaction of Bayern and Bremen, such as Bundesliga giants, is unavoidable. However, on the other hand, the emergence of mid-range Bundesliga teams such as Wolfsburg is also surprising. They will also be an important force that cannot be underestimated in the new season of the Bundesliga.
The entire Bundesliga team seems to be unable to raise much interest in this summer transfer. In this summer's transfer market, even the top ten transfers so far are a bit embarrassing.
The Bundesliga bidder has only 14 million, and Petridge, who ranks tenth in the transfer ranking list, has only 4.5 million! You should know that in the previous summer transfer market, such a transfer could not be ranked among the top ten in the transfer list! You should also know that Hoffenheim's two transfers in the transfer market during the Bundesliga period were worth more than 4.5 million. If we look at the results in the transfer market last summer, Edu's eight million can rank fifth in the Bundesliga transfer market this year, and Edu's six million can also reach eighth place.
Hoffenheim's performance in the just-concluded season was amazing. As a newly promoted team, they completed three-year and two-level jumps and entered the top league. They even won the Bundesliga championship in a somewhat unbelievable way! So considering that Hoffenheim's boss Dimat Hope was willing to pay nearly 20 million in transfer fees during the Bundesliga, they naturally had greater investment after the team entered the Bundesliga.
But now it seems that Dimat Hope's investment in the team is no longer as crazy as before. Like many Bundesliga teams, Hoffenheim is a bit low-key and terrifying in the transfer market this summer. In addition to completely buying out those who loaned last season, including Ozcan, Gustavo and others, Hoffenheim only bought Brazil's young forward Willington for 35 million.
Although Hoffenheim had a lot of attack power in the Bundesliga last season, their defensive ability was still a bit insufficient; and even if Hoffenheim could be invincible in the Bundesliga, it was really difficult for them to ensure that they could maintain a sharp attack in a stronger defense.
Xiao Qing originally thought that the team would focus on upgrading the team's midfield defense this summer, but now it seems that there is no more hope. Although Hoffenheim has invested more than 10 million in transfer fees so far, it basically depends on the original old team, but it is more of a buyout for those loaned players.
Moreover, Hoffenheim can be said to be a strong team in the Bundesliga, but they are just completely promoted teams in the Bundesliga. Although they seem to be good at strength now, they are basically certainly relegation teams. Well, in fact, they may not be able to do much relegation tasks, but they may not be very competitive.
Although Xiao Qing has been enjoying his vacation during this period, he is still very concerned about the team's transfer tasks; although coming to the top league gives Xiao Qing a chance to improve faster, the overall strength of the team can be said to be related to Xiao Qing's final results. Because scoring goals can indeed get more experience points, and victory in the game is also the key.
Although Xiao Qing's ability has also improved a little this summer, it is certain that Hoffenheim's overall strength is still relatively weak now. Even if Xiao Qing's ability has improved a lot, it is undoubtedly an incredible thing to lead such a team to win more victories, because football is an overall sport, and it is difficult for a person to bring qualitative changes to the team.
The team's performance in the transfer market is a bit disappointing, but Xiao Qing is more helpless; although Hoffenheim's goal is to become a top giant like Inter Milan, Xiao Qing also understands that this is almost impossible to complete, because Hoffenheim is in a small village with inherent shortcomings, and it is impossible for Hoffenheim to make progress after breaking away from Dimatt Hope's support. It can be said that Hoffenheim's current performance is made by Dimatt Hope with money, and Hoffenheim's foundation is really unstable.
Dimat Hope built Hoffenheim's new home court who solely owns. Now he doesn't have the strength to invest more on Hoffenheim; now Hoffenheim is not able to form a balance of income and expenditure, and now Hoffenheim's fiscal revenue can be said to be extremely chaotic. So at this time, Xiao Qing also understood that it is basically impossible for the team to make big investments immediately. In Hoffenheim's first season in the Bundesliga, perhaps relegation is their main goal. Now they need to gain a foothold and then move forward slowly, because Hoffenheim's foundation is really too poor, so they need to slow down now, so only in this way can their future be more fulfilling.
Although it is a bit regrettable, the only thing in the transfer market can be like this. Now Xiao Qing is looking forward to the improvement of his own strength that can bring greater help to the team. Now Xiao Qing hopes that not only his own strength will improve in the new season, but his teammates can also make progress.
