Chapter 48
Sun Yu is not quite sure when the German transfer market became the world's most authoritative data analysis website.
Since he learned about football, this website has become a weathervane in the world football.
Before the Internet era, the role of the Internet in all walks of life was not so obvious, and the personal information of players was not so transparent.
Many clubs often need the professional sensitivity and work experience of the person in charge when buying players.
An unknown player can often double his value by playing a few good games in key games.
When buying players, each team has very little reference information, often only the game videos of the last few months and a document of questionable authenticity.
Under such circumstances, the transfer market is in chaos.
The old Premier League club Newcastle spent millions of pounds to buy an African player who can't play football. After coming to Newcastle, the guy used injury as an excuse to avoid training and got a high salary for a month. As a result, he was replaced after three minutes of playing in the warm-up match.
Even a shrewd man like Sir Alex Ferguson suffered a big loss in the transfer market. He personally decided to let Manchester United spend 7 million pounds to buy Bebe, who had never played in the professional league.
In the video clip provided by Queiroz, Bebe was strong, explosive, technically outstanding, and had accurate right-foot shots.
After buying him, Sir Alex Ferguson found that this big man was indeed strong and fast, but his skills were all edited, and his eyes were blurred when he got to the court.
Manchester United cultivated Bebe for several years with a pinch of the nose. He came out of the third-level Portuguese league and finally played in La Liga, which is also inspiring.
Manchester United was equivalent to spending a lot of money on charity. Such transfers occurred several times a day in those years.
If Real Betis could clearly understand what kind of person Denilson was and what technical characteristics he had, they would probably not have paid the world's highest price at the time to introduce this winger who could only pedal.
After the Internet era came, authoritative data institutions such as the German transfer market appeared in just a few years.
They gave each professional player a relatively fair value through a multi-dimensional evaluation method.
Maybe their evaluation criteria are not comprehensive, but they at least provide authoritative data and unified measurement standards. Later, many lawsuits used the value of the German transfer market as a basis.
Seeing this situation, many people will definitely use meticulousness, rigor and punctuality to praise the Germans.
In fact, it is all nonsense. Even the Germans dare not take this claim. This website is so authoritative. It can only be said that a group of people who are passionate about football saw this blank area and did better than others at the same time.
That's all.
Sun Yu clicked on the website, found the Ajax youth team, and clicked on his name.
The value column marked a three-digit transfer value: 7 million euros.
Ouch!
Incredible!
After two months of traveling through time, I finally have a decent value.
Congratulations!
When I just traveled through time, Sun Yu checked his value on the German transfer market and it was only 250,000 euros.
Although the current value does not have much practical significance for Sun Yu, it is at least a decent value.
After all, the German transfer market is the most authoritative data analysis agency in the world today. It is also a respectable thing to give yourself a good value so quickly.
But to be honest, the value of 7 million euros is somewhat inflated.
As a young player with only four professional league games, the value of 7 million euros is actually a bit inflated.
Sun Yu is very clear that the reason why he has such a high value is probably because of his age.
Let the old center forward in the top ten of the English Championship play in the Dutch second division, and it is likely to get similar data.
But after he comes, his value will not only not increase, but may even decrease.
The value of young people is like gambling on stones, playing with expectations.
Sun Yu is now a piece of jadeite with good appearance. The small piece is emerald green, and the rest is the skin formed by rocks.
Cut the skin with a knife, it may be a top-grade, or it may just be a piece of stone.
The Bundesliga transfer market gave Sun Yu a value of 7 million euros, which can be understood as a gamble with this price.
If Sun Yu is still in the Ajax youth team at this time next year, even if he is crazy in the Dutch Eredivisie, his value will not increase, and it is very likely to drop by one or two million euros.
The reason is simple.
In a club like Ajax that is willing to train young players, if a young player is in the Dutch Eredivisie and cannot be promoted to the first team in the second season.
There must be a problem!
Either there are major technical flaws and Ajax has determined that he has no potential.
Or there is a personality problem.The major flaw is the bomb in the locker room.
The most typical example is Van Persie. Even though he played for Feyenoord's first team at the age of 17 and won the UEFA Cup as a main player, no one cared about him because of his "locker room bomb" attribute.
Wenger only spent 2.75 million pounds to win Van Persie. Who would have thought that he would become a Premier League killer later.
Even if there is no negative information, Sun Yu's value will definitely not rise.
Now when the media mentions Sun Yu, they will call him an 18-year-old youth player.
If he is still playing in the Eredivisie next year, the media will probably call him a young player who is about to turn 20.
The difference between these two evaluations can be said to be a world of difference.
The biggest reason for this situation is that the Eredivisie cannot be used as a reference standard for judging a good player. The reference data is not very meaningful and can only be seen from expectations.
Not to mention the Eredivisie, the Eredivisie in recent years has been considered to have a certain degree of water.
In the past five seasons, except for Suarez's transfer to Liverpool, the transfer prices of other players in the top five leagues are not high. Even the best players in the Eredivisie find it difficult to land directly in European giants.
If a club spends 7 million euros to introduce Sun Yu now, people will definitely say "you are crazy".
If you want to turn the value into a real transfer fee, you must play the value.
The price of 7 million euros is full of respect. Sun Yu is very satisfied. He immediately clicked on Van der Beck's information.
Value 9.5 million euros!
Fuck!
Where can you make sense of this?
Sun Yu scored 9 goals and 1 assist in four games of the Dutch Eredivisie, while Xiao Fan scored 2 goals and 4 assists.
As a result, reflected in the market situation, Sun Yu and others are one "250" apart...
Isn't this a bit discordant! ?
After a fierce complaint in his heart, Sun Yu laughed.
When looking at the market value, I was full of reason, but once I found that Van de Beek's market value was higher than mine, I immediately abandoned reason.
Happiness is indeed a result of comparison.
Sun Yu knew very well that it was reasonable that Van de Beek's market value was higher than his own.
After all, Van de Beek was just 17 years old, and he was a main force in all 20 teams in the Dutch Eredivisie.
Such a young player will obviously become a first-class player in the future, and it is normal for his market value to be around 10 million euros.
But there is a premise, the transfer market in 2014 was far from as crazy as it would be ten years later.
In the 2014-2015 Premier League summer transfer, there were only eight transfers of more than 30 million euros.
Among them, six transfers were less than 40 million euros, and only Suarez's transfer to Barcelona reached 81 million euros.
Ten years later, as long as the rich want to buy a player of similar strength, they will easily spend 100 million euros.
If the market conditions are like that, Sun Yu feels that he has a minimum of 25 million euros, and Van der Beck must have reached 30 million euros.
Of course, there is not much meaning in discussing the value of young players. Everything depends on the transaction price.
Sun Yu looked at the values of several players. Riedwald is the most valuable player in the six-man group except Sun Yu and Van der Beck, reaching 5 million euros.
As a future beast demon, Riedwald's upper limit may not be very high, but the lower limit is very high, and this value is very reasonable.
Bazor's value is 4 million euros, which indicates that he will at least become the main force of Ajax in the future.
Zivkovic is worth 3 million euros. He has comprehensive abilities, but no outstanding highlights. It is hard to say what he will develop into in the future.
Facts have proved that his future development is indeed average, and he has left his mark in many small leagues.
Onana's value is 2 million euros. Ajax spent 250,000 euros on him from Barcelona. If he enters the first team in the future, Ajax will pay Barcelona 350,000 euros.
Goalkeeper is not a position that can be judged by age. Except for a few monsters, others have a long way to go.
The day after the German transfer market updated the transfer value, Sun Yu received a call.
"Hello, I am Van der Rooy, the head coach of the Netherlands U21. I have been following your performance recently. I am optimistic about your potential and want to talk to you."
Hmm?
Did this guy call me after reading the German transfer market?
Probably not.
Van der Rooy introduced Sun Yu to the general situation of the players. The Netherlands U21 is currently participating in the European Youth Championship qualifiers.
The European Youth Championship is the Rio Olympic trials, and the top four will advance to the Olympics.The Netherlands U21 won five games and tied one in the first six rounds, ranking first in the group with a three-point lead over the second-placed Slovakia U21.
The European Youth Championship is a cruel competition system. The first place in the ten groups and the four best second place teams all enter the play-offs.
The fourteen teams draw two by two, and the seven winning teams plus the host will compete in the European Youth Championship next summer.
To be honest, Sun Yu has no interest in the Netherlands U21.
This kind of competition requires long-distance flights and two games on the international match day.
The international match day lasts a total of ten days, and at least two or three days are spent on the journey, which is really not cost-effective.
Instead of doing this, it is better to use these ten days to train well, which can not only prepare for the next league, but also accumulate experience.
Why risk injury to participate in such a useless event?
As long as the Netherlands U21 performs normally in the next two games, it will definitely qualify as the first place in the group.
To be honest, this level of competition does not attract much attention.
At the same time, there are also European Cup qualifiers. Who has so much time to watch the youth team games?
More importantly, Van der Rooy said it very bluntly. Sun Yu is not the main player of this team. The main player of the Dutch U21 is Ajax's Kinash.
And Sun Yu will only get a chance to play if it does not affect the result of the game, which makes him even less interested.
In this case, Sun Yu also said what he wanted to say. He said that he did not want to be selected for this youth team.
The reason is also very simple. He said that he needs regular training to maintain his condition, and the experience of this international competition is not very meaningful to him.
After being rejected by Sun Yu, Van der Rooy on the other side of the phone was silent for several seconds. He probably didn't expect Sun Yu to refuse so straightforwardly, but he also expressed his understanding.
The two did not say politely anymore and chose to end the conversation quickly.
After hanging up the phone, Sun Yu quickly put the matter behind him.
To be honest, he really lacks interest in being selected for the Dutch youth team.
With the system in hand, Sun Yu believes that he can completely skip this level and play directly for the Dutch team.
If the U21 head coach shows the spirit of visiting the thatched cottage three times, Sun Yu is not impossible to consider.
Since the status is so low, let's not consider it this time.
When the Dutch U21 enters the European Youth Championship, Sun Yu believes that according to his growth rate, he will definitely become the team's top player by then.
When this Druid comes again, everyone can discuss and discuss, and Sun Yu doesn't mind fighting your Lin Huang again, and then meeting B Seat.
Starting from the European Youth Championship, there will definitely be first-class stars who will become popular in the future. Sun Yu is quite interested in such a game.
The day after talking to Van der Rooy on the phone, the Dutch U21 announced the list of international match days.
Sun Yu didn't care about this matter at first, but the next day everyone was discussing the international match day, and it was hard for Sun Yu not to know.
So he simply paid attention to the list of the Dutch U21, and the first-team Kinash and El Ghazi were on the list.
U21 players Bazoer, Riedewald, Runig, Danswell and right back Kenny Tait were also selected for the Dutch U21.
In addition, six other players including Van der Beek, Onana, Muric and Zivkovic were also selected for the national team.
Ten players from the Ajax youth team left the team during the international match day, and the temperament of the rich youth training was completely grasped.
In this team, the most famous player in the future is Ake, who is now experiencing a life of loaning everywhere in Chelsea's youth training team.
Another player Sun Yu knew was Karsdorp, who happened to be in the team when Mourinho coached Roma.
In addition, there were no star players in this Dutch U21.
Perhaps in order to avoid explaining that Sun Yu was not selected, the announcement specifically stated which players were not selected due to injuries and which players refused the team's invitation.
Seeing the statement in the news, Sun Yu thought that Van der Ruy was really a non-stick old oil stick.
After he made such a statement, he might have to spend time explaining it.
Two days later.
August 30.
Before the fifth round of the Dutch Eredivisie.
Sun Yu actually saw a news in the newspaper "Ajax new star refuses to play for the Netherlands". This news directly upgraded Sun Yu's refusal to play for the Dutch U21 team to a refusal to play for the Netherlands.
These newsmakers are really shit.
Some people try every means to find out other people's privacy and spread it as a big melon.
Some people rack their brains to make up news, and most of them don't take responsibility.
There is no way to say it, but Sun Yu still doesn't care.
In front of strength, all misunderstandings will become pleas.
The opponent of the Ajax Youth Team in the fifth round is the Dunboshi team, which is temporarily ranked 14th in the standings.
Facing the Ajax Youth Team, which has won four consecutive games, the home team Dunboshi seemed very well-behaved, and parked the bus throughout the game, just to seek a draw.
The game lasted until the 73rd minute, and the Ajax Youth Team broke the deadlock.
Danswell took advantage of the corner kick opportunity, received a pass from Van der Beck, and scored with a header.
Sun Yu was tightly defended by three defensive players, and could only use his not-so-good pass to help his teammates break the dense defense.
After the game, Sun Yu only got 150 points after the game.
However, both the pass and the vision got 100 experience points.
After the fifth round of the league, the international football world immediately ushered in the international match day.
Unexpectedly, after an international match day, the Dutch national team and the Dutch U21 both suffered heavy losses.
Seeing the results of the two national teams, Sun Yu suddenly sighed: "I traveled through time at the wrong time!"
