() When it comes to signings, Dortmund is as cautious as a woman with small feet.
Very slow.
And it's very inconspicuous.
Many media even questioned whether Dortmund was buying anyone in the transfer market?
What kind of players are those?
Mata is 20 years old, Hummels is 19 years old, and Shaheen is also 19 years old. Among these three, Hummels has only played more than a dozen Bundesliga games, and Shaheen is even more mainstream.
The league disappeared for a long time, and Mata has been playing in the Spanish second division.
What's more important is that the three of them are too young.
They are just three little kids.
The 28-year-old Owomoyela is still a player in his prime.
But he is just a player worth 2.5 million euros. In today's European football, a 28-year-old is worth only 2.5 million euros. What kind of player is that? . . .
Two and a half million euros cannot even buy a leg for a young genius.
This kind of player is not in the eyes of the media either.
This is Dortmund now.
What players did you buy?
But Dortmund soon introduced another player.
Hajnauer.
This is a Hungarian player.
He used to be a player for Schalke 04. Unfortunately, he played so many times in Schalke 04 that he was not reused. After playing in Schalke 04 for a long time, he just couldn't find a player.
His only chance is to leave Schalke 04.
At that time, he was completely a fringe player at Schalke. He was not even considered a substitute on the bench.
When he left Schalke, no Bundesliga player was willing to take over.
Therefore, he could only leave Germany sadly and go to the Belgian First Division to look for opportunities to play football.
After staying in Belgium for two years, he became independent. He wanted to return to Germany, but no Bundesliga team was interested in him. So he freely joined Kaisers, who were still in the German second division.
Lauten.
This time in the German second division. His performance was okay.
So just one year later, he left Kaiserslautern and joined the newly upgraded Karlsruhe club. At that time, he was worth only 450,000 euros.
You can say that.
In English football, even if you buy a player from a third or fourth level team in England, it will not be so cheap. Even when Su Yun first came to England thirteen years ago, England was in the third or fourth level.
Players who show off in the league are worth 400,000 euros.
It can be seen what Hajnauer's situation was at this time.
Moreover, Hajnauer was already twenty-six years old at this time.
But no one expected that such a player would shine in the Bundesliga last season.
The Bundesliga last season has just begun. In the first five rounds, Hajnauer actually scored three goals and assisted two goals. He led newly promoted Karlsruhe to a record of three wins and two losses.
And throughout the season, Hajnauer played 32 times, scoring eight goals and nine assists.
Fame rises.
The brilliant Zorc focused on him.
Soon Zorc signed him.
1.25 million euros.
Too cheap.
If a famous player in England hits a double-double, his net worth will definitely be upwards of five million pounds. Or even a little higher. It can even reach tens of millions of pounds.
But in Germany it is 1.25 million euros.
In fact, this transfer was not finalized by Su Yun.
It was already finalized when Su Yun's predecessor Dole was here. Dortmund had already reached an agreement with Karlsruhe at that time, but it was only announced now. Su Yun was not prepared to overturn the players who had already been booked.
The first is to respect Zorc.
After all, this was a player that Zorc had booked early. Su Yun immediately regretted it as soon as he entered. It was too disrespectful to Zorc.
Furthermore, Hainauer seems to have good abilities.
You are also at the right age to fight.
Dortmund has too many young players next season, and it is still necessary for Dortmund to have some stars in their prime.
The important thing is that this player has been in Germany for many years. Su Yun believes that he should be able to adapt to Dortmund.
So I agreed to the transfer.
look.
This is Dortmund.
The transfer was done so carefully and no amount of money was spent.
Either it’s free, or it’s more than one million or more than two million.
Too stingy.
It's totally not the style Su Yun had back then.
At that time, Su Yun was waving banknotes, and transfers of 10 million euros and 20 million euros were everywhere. There were even big-money transfers such as Joaquin, Ribery, and Ashley Cole.
But what is this for now?
Dortmund is also a team that dares to spend money in the Bundesliga. But it is too stingy this summer.
But when Dortmund began to purge players, everyone could only be shocked. Because Dortmund was more courageous in purging players than introducing players.
Warnes is the core of Dortmund's defense.
The performance is still okay.
If he can stay, he can still play as the main substitute this season. Playing more than 20 games in a season will definitely be no problem. But Warnes does not fit Dortmund's development path.
Because I'm too old.
He will soon be thirty-six years old.
Therefore, after the contract expired in 2008, Dortmund did not choose to renew Warnes' contract.
Warnes himself really hopes to renew his contract for another year, but Warnes also understands the club's situation.
No forcing.
After failing to complete the contract extension, Warnes immediately announced his retirement.
Another important figure in the defense, Robert Kovac, is also 34 years old. But his contract has not ended yet, and Kovac still has two years of contract.
But Zorc couldn't wait any longer.
Kovac is also too old.
Therefore, he dealt Kovac to Croatia's Dinamo Zagreb. Others would have thought that the 34-year-old veteran was being dealt for free. But Zorc was different.
It is such a 34-year-old veteran. Zorc was sold to Dinamo Zagreb for a transfer fee of 640,000 euros.
This really surprised Su Yun.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Clearing out Kovac not only cleared out veterans, it also freed up salary space and sold another 640,000 euros.
Six hundred and forty thousand euros is not much, but it is very important money for Dortmund. Not to mention six hundred and forty thousand euros, Zorc is now arrogant for tens of thousands of euros.
Six hundred and forty thousand euros is quite a lot.
The annual salary of several young players is less than 600,000 euros.
Then another veteran was sold.
This time it's a forward player.
Kolimowitz.
He is also a 34-year-old veteran. Although he is 34 years old, he was still Dortmund's main force last season.
Zorc sold Kolimowitz to Bochum.
Zorc is really the master of plucking geese.
For such a veteran, Zorc received a transfer fee of 450,000 euros when he sold him to Bochum.
Then there's Delron Barkley.
He is not as old as Warnes, Kovac, and Klimovich, but he is already thirty years old, and he will be thirty-one in half a year.
He played more than thirty games for Dortmund last season.
He is considered the main player of Dortmund.
It's just that his contract has reached the last year. Zorc didn't want to let him go for free next year, so he immediately found an opportunity to sell him.
Zorc sold Delron Barkley to Mainz, and the transfer fee was not expensive at all. It was only a mere 700,000 euros.
The main reason is that Barkley is old and has only one year left on his contract, and everyone can see that Dortmund is purging veterans because the transfer fee cannot be too high.
The next thing to deal with is the important thing, the players in their playing years.
Giovanni Federico.
This is a midfielder, and also an attacking midfielder. He was one of Dortmund's main midfielders last season and played more than 30 times on behalf of Dortmund last season.
But Su Yun no longer has any use for him.
He's not too bad.
But it was far from Su Yun's eyes.
Su Yun has been to so many clubs over the years, experienced upstarts like Chelsea, giants like Real Madrid and Juventus, and has seen all talented players.
Federico simply couldn't meet Su Yun's requirements.
Zorc also followed Su Yun's request and began to find a home for him.
Federik was sold to Bochum by Zorc. Federik is not a veteran in his thirties. He is only 28 years old this season. He is a player in his prime and the main player of Dortmund.
It's a pity that the Bundesliga just lacks buyers.
There are many teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League that have the ability to sell millions of pounds, or tens of millions of pounds. If they were in the Premier League, it would be easy for a player like Federico to sell for four to five million pounds.
Even seven to eight million pounds is not impossible.
But you can't find it in the Bundesliga.
No club in the Bundesliga would spend that much money for Federico.
Bochum?
It's just a small club.
There is not much financial capacity either.
Federico, such an outstanding player, was only sold for 1.04 million euros.
Too low.
When buying players, the Bundesliga does have a huge advantage. Unexpectedly, it was only after dealing with the players that I realized that there are also disadvantages. The selling price was too low. He should really be sold to a foreign club.
It's a pity that German players rarely play football outside.
Federico's meaning is very simple. You can handle it if you want, but he will never choose to play football abroad. He is already used to the Bundesliga and life in Germany.
What a pity.
The next player to deal with is Dortmund's big-name player.
Alex Frey.
This has always been one of Dortmund's main forwards, and he is very powerful. He scored 16 goals in Dortmund in the Bundesliga last season.
Not little famous.
And he's only twenty-seven years old.
Zorc's original plan was gradual. Klimovich and Barkley had already been sold, and Zorc hoped to keep Frei.
But Su Yun doesn't like Frey at all.
He stayed on as a substitute, but Frey refused to do so. So Zorc eliminated him. He didn't have to worry about a buyer, because the striker who once dominated the Bundesliga was not very old either.
But Zorc did not keep Frei in the Bundesliga.
Because the Bundesliga cannot afford a high transfer fee, and it also has to bear Frey's salary.
So Zorc sold him to Basel of the Swiss League.
Basel is a giant in Switzerland and can play in the European League every year. If you are lucky, you can even play in the Champions League. And Basel is a club far away from the mainstream leagues.
But they are not short of money at all.
If it were in the five major leagues, Basel would definitely be a strong team.
They have money.
Alex Frey, Zorc sold them to them for a price of 4.4 million euros.
From Federik to Alex Frey, these are all very important players in Dortmund's first team. This large-scale purge shocked the entire Dortmund.
Even many Dortmund fans were surprised.
What is Dortmund doing?
What does Su Yun want to do?
Purging players is not a big problem, but at least the positions they left should be filled. You can't use Mata, who was introduced for free, or Shaheen from the youth academy to replace the players who left?
However, Dortmund had no reaction to external comments.
Cleaning operations continue.
As for the players that Su Yun and Zorc have identified and need to stay, Zorc has already contacted them.
The people who transferred this time were no ordinary people.
He is the most famous person in Dortmund at present, or the most valuable player in Dortmund at present. Croatian player Mladen Petric.
This is the most famous person in Dortmund.
Scored 13 goals for Dortmund last season.
Very strong.
He is not only famous in Dortmund, but also famous in the Bundesliga. There are many clubs interested in him.
And those interested in him are clubs with certain ambitions.
Zorc and Su Yun discussed the issue of Petrich.
Su Yun believed that Petrich not only had a high salary, but also a high net worth, so he could make a move.
Although Petrich is also very powerful, Su Yun believes that compared to his salary, his contribution is not proportional.
What interests Petrich most is Hamburg.
However, Hamburg hopes to use Mohamed Zidane, known as the "Egyptian Zidane", plus 4.5 million euros to acquire Petlic. However, Su Yun made it clear that he has no interest in Mohamed.
Speaking of which, Mohammad Zidan is not only similar in name to Zidane, but his skills are also very good.
Even in terms of gorgeousness, Zidane cannot compare to Zidan.
As a forward, Zidan even claims that he does not value efficiency when playing football, but values brilliance.
Many of his extraordinary moves are beyond your imagination and there is nothing he can't do.
It's a pity that this kind of player is not Su Yun's type at all.
Su Yun likes some geniuses, but the geniuses Su Yun likes are deadly talents like Robben. Not flashy talented players like Denilson.
And this Egyptian Zidane is just like Denilson, a flashy player.
So rejected the burger.
Either take the money or get out.
Petrich has no shortage of buyers.
Hamburg is not short of money, and they are ambitious to bring in Petrich. In the end, seeing that Dortmund is really not interested in Mohamed Zidan, Hamburg can only spend real money.
In the end, Zorc sold Petrich for a high price of 8 million euros.
Within German football, the transfer fee reaches 8 million euros, which is an astonishing transfer.
Zorc was extremely happy.
Now the purge plan is going smoothly. By purging these players, Dortmund has received 14 million euros in transfer fees in the transfer market.
More importantly, through these purges, Dortmund saved nearly 10 million in salary.
Then there is another very small cleaning.
Kruska.
This is a player from Dortmund's youth training. He started to gain a foothold in Dortmund's first team at the age of seventeen. He is already 21 years old this year and has played almost a hundred games in Dortmund.
It can also be regarded as a representative of young people becoming famous.
But Su Yun carefully observed Kruska. This 21-year-old defensive midfielder had average strength and average potential. His strength had also come to an end. Kruska had no potential left to tap.
So Su Yun told Zorc that Kruska had no future.
Zorc is a meritorious player of Dortmund and has been the sports director of Dortmund for many years. He has a lot of feelings for these talents who came out of the Dortmund youth academy.
It's a pity that Dortmund are at a crossroads now.
This is when you need to be ruthless.
Just be ruthless.
So Zorc also sold Kruska to the Belgian giant Club Brussels. These giant clubs from small countries are not prominent in European football, but they are all owners who are not short of money.
Bruri spent 1.2 million euros for Kruska.
In the end, Dortmund sold their youth training player Kruska for 1.2 million euros.
Clean.
A real purge.
Soon Zorc took action again.
This time, another important player from Dortmund was selected.
Paul Tinga.
In fact, when Su Yun first drew the circle, Paul Tinga was planning to stay in Dortmund. Because Su Yun believed that Paul Tinga was very capable, and more importantly, he was not young.
Just thirty years old this season.
Can effectively stabilize Dortmund's young lineup.
However, Hajnauer and Owomoyela were introduced, plus the original Weidenfeller, Dede, Kyle, and his direct descendant Williams. Su Yun believes that there are still many veterans among the current Dortmund players.
.
Therefore, when Zorc proposed to purge Paul Tinga, Su Yun agreed.
Paul Tinga.
This is also one of Dortmund's main players.
He is also considered a famous player in the Bundesliga.
However, Zorc did not sell him to the Bundesliga. On the contrary, the Brazilian player was sold to Spain by Zorc.
4.2 million euros.
Not very expensive, but not cheap either.
There is still a lot of salary left.
In fact, this purge is more important to Zorc than the transfer fee because it has freed up a lot of salary system.
a lot of.
So many players were purged, and they were all high-paid players. Some of them even had a salary of four million euros. They were all purged by Zorc.
Save more than 10 million euros in one go.
In addition to the transfer fee of nearly 20 million euros, Dortmund has about 30 million euros after entering and exiting.
This is a huge sum of money for Dortmund.
These are Dortmund's famous and outstanding players. In addition to them, some substitute players have also been eliminated a lot by Zorc.
Dortmund's purge shocked many people.
So awesome.
Of course, there are still 14 or 5 people left in the original Dortmund first team. Dortmund’s first team was originally bloated, with nearly 30 people. But Zorc eliminated half of it, and half is left. (To be continued.
