Dortmund's pace in the Bundesliga is becoming more and more stable.
The leading advantage is becoming more and more obvious.
Lars Bender and Gotze turned out to be outstanding in the match against Werder Bremen, which made more German media focus on Dortmund.
It was really Lars Bender and Gotze who were too dazzling in the match against Bremen.
Gotze is young and plays well, so he is more respected.
But in the eyes of professional commentators, Lars Bender is also an extremely powerful and talented new star. Because of Lars Bender's pressure in the midfield alone, Borowski and Flins were left alone.
The general shrank back.
Lars Bender doesn't seem to stand out, but his dominance in the midfield is something we haven't seen in many years.
The two of them attracted a lot of people's attention at once.
In the German Cup that followed, Su Yun once again sent these two emerging stars.
The competition is intensive.
But Su Yun believes that Lars Bender does not have any physical problems. And Gotze played for more than ten minutes in the last game and has no physical problems.
This is also Gotze's first start for Dortmund's first team.
The top 32 matches of the German Cup.
Dortmund faces Karlsruhe away from home.
surprise.
Lars Bender and Gotze once again showed amazing strength in this game. Of course, this is related to Karlsruhe not paying attention to the German Cup.
Karlsruhe wanted to take the German Cup seriously, but unfortunately they were relegated last season. They have only one goal this season.
upgrade.
They are already weak and do not have the strength to fight on two fronts. They can only give up cup competitions such as the German Cup which are not helpful.
And unfortunately, they met Dortmund again in the German Cup, so they only resisted slightly.
Gave up soon.
The game has completely become a stage for young players.
Dortmund's average age in this game was only 21.8 years old. A complete youth team appeared. The Bender brothers partnered again. They firmly suppressed their opponents during the game.
Especially Lars Bender once again showed his strong physical strength.
In a small German Cup match, I ran more than 12,800 meters against the German second division team Karlsruhe. I directly crushed Karlsruhe's midfielder.
Of course, Gotze also performed very well during the game. He assisted Lewandowski and scored a goal.
In the end, Dortmund defeated Karlsruhe 3-0 in an away game and eliminated Karlsruhe. Dortmund also entered the top 16 of the German Cup.
In two consecutive games, 20-year-old Lars Bender and 17-year-old Gotze performed very well.
Let all eyes focus on the two of them.
Young genius.
Dortmund has too many good players.
And they are all young players.
How about Dortmund?
Although Dortmund has begun to improve, in the eyes of Europe's top teams, Dortmund is still not an important club.
Not even a few strong European teams take Dortmund seriously.
Dortmund is just a piece of cake in their eyes.
Maybe good players will emerge.
But that's just to train good players for other European giants.
Even within German football, with the exception of Bayern Munich, even Leverkusen is no less attractive than Dortmund. If placed within the scope of European football, Dortmund is completely underwhelming.
Zorc knew it too.
There are too many good players.
It has already attracted the attention of many clubs.
Zorc's latest consideration is Gotze's contract.
Gotze is still getting a contract with the youth team. Although Gotze has always been a treasure of Dortmund's youth training camp, Gotze's salary is only slightly higher than that of ordinary youth players.
But it's different now. Because Gotze has come to the first team and started to perform well in the first team. Zorc knew that with Gotze's outstanding performance, his contract must be improved.
Otherwise he will fly.
This is a player trained by Dortmund's youth academy.
In the plan of Su Yun and Zorc, these talents cultivated by Dortmund's youth academy are the skeleton of the team. They are all Dortmund's future core players.
We must not let them fly.
Zorc will never let this happen.
So it's very fast.
Soon Zorc had begun discussing Gotze's contract with Gotze's agent. Of course, Dortmund's economic situation can only be said to be much better now, but it has not yet reached a wealthy point.
Nowadays, many giant clubs in European football are not afraid of paying high salaries to outstanding young players.
It has brought salaries in European football to a new level.
Arsene Wenger of Arsenal is known as being stingy.
But in January this year, they signed a six-year contract with their talented player Wilshere. The weekly salary reached 15,000 pounds. And Wilshere is only seventeen years old.
But not Dortmund.
Even a supernova cannot get such a high salary. Now even Schmelzer, who has started to play the main role in Dortmund, does not have a salary as high as Wilshere.
And there is no such precedent in the entire Bundesliga.
Gotze's agent certainly hopes to get a contract like Wilshere's.
Unfortunately not.
Dortmund would never agree.
In the end, Zorc and Gotze's agent signed Gotze's first career contract on a four-year contract.
Salary is average.
It even made other European football rising stars see the salary that would make them laugh out loud.
The monthly salary is only 7,000 euros.
It can be said that this kind of salary is quite low in European football, and it is not generally low. But for Dortmund, it can only give such a salary.
Gotze didn't raise too many objections.
Because this is German football.
If it were England, they would have fallen out long ago.
A monthly salary of seven thousand euros, let alone a monthly salary, even a weekly salary of seven thousand euros is too low for them.
Su Yun was very happy to hear that Gotze signed a four-year contract.
Gotze is very strong.
Su Yun believes that in just one or two seasons, he will become Dortmund's absolute main force because he is one of those talents who can ignore age.
But after hearing about Gotze's salary, I started to have some concerns.
Dortmund's current wages are too low.
And it's not generally low.
Dortmund won the Bundesliga championship last season, but the total salary last season was only 30 million euros. This season, of course, it has increased a lot. But it is only about 36 million euros.
Of course, if you perform well this season, your salary will continue to increase next season.
But this salary is completely incomparable to that of strong teams. Bayern's total salary has already exceeded 80 million euros, which of course is not very impressive in Europe.
Because the total salary of any of the top teams in the Premier League is over 100 million pounds.
The average weekly salary of these wealthy clubs is around 40,000 to 50,000 euros, around 60,000 to 70,000 euros. But Dortmund's average weekly salary is only about 20,000 euros.
It's difficult to retain good players this way.
Money is still very important.
The main reason now is that Dortmund is still on the rise, and many wealthy clubs are waiting and watching. Once a wealthy club really makes a move, Dortmund really won't be able to keep anyone.
Don't look at the fact that Arsenal has not won a championship for many years. If Arsenal really comes to seduce Dortmund's players, Dortmund really can't keep them. Arsenal's wages are not high among other Premier League giants.
But no matter how you play it, it is much higher than Dortmund.
In addition to Williams's very high salary in Dortmund now, Kyle's salary is only 3 million euros, before tax.
But there are many Arsenal players with salaries exceeding 3 million.
Generally speaking, the salary of the main players of the first team and the main substitutes exceeds 3 million euros.
This is a very important reason restricting Dortmund's development.
"Michelle, stability is important."
Su Yun is a coach.
Although the coach's influence is not small, after all, many players are promoted by Su Yun. However, the extent of this influence is also limited. It cannot really affect their choices.
Once they really want to leave, Su Yun has no choice.
But what Su Yun needs is stability.
Su Yun did not have the patience like Wenger. He finally cultivated the second generation of Wenger, headed by Fabregas, and it was time to start to produce results. But with the departure of Hleb and Flamini, the second generation of Wenger began to
Fall apart.
Then a new round of reconstruction began.
When is the end.
Zorc nodded.
Zorc knows the importance of stability better than Su Yun.
After hesitating for a moment, Zorc asked Su Yun: "Su, please give me an accurate classification. Just tell me which player's position is indispensable in Dortmund now. Which player's position can be
Replaced."
"And the heights you think each player on the team can reach."
Leave them all.
Zorc is not sure.
Because other clubs have begun to spy on Dortmund players.
Zorc needs to choose.
Zorc, an absolutely needed player, needs to have a tough attitude. And he needs to be focused when signing the contract.
It's like liquidated damages.
The Bundesliga does not stipulate that players must have liquidated damages in their contracts. Clubs are also unwilling to sign so-called liquidated damages. On the contrary, for clubs, it is best if there are no liquidated damages in the contract.
In this way, the club can take some initiative when players transfer.
But when many players negotiate with their clubs, they need to add liquidated damages clauses.
They won't sign the contract without a liquidated damages clause.
The reason is simple.
Those players all want to move up. What if a wealthy club takes an interest in them after a while, but the original club refuses to let them go or the transfer fee is too high?
At that point, players will be too passive.
But it's different with liquidated damages.
In the Bundesliga, because salaries are not high, many players' liquidated damages are also not high. There are many situations where players' contracts are bought out.
Dortmund is also facing this dilemma now.
Some young players' contracts have begun to require liquidated damages clauses.
But my head hurts no matter how I choose Zorc.
Therefore, Zorc needs to make a choice. He must keep the most important people no matter what method he uses. If he really can't keep them, he can't sell them at a bargain price.
Zorc is not a senior member of Arsenal.
Many of the players Arsenal have recently sold are at bargain prices. Although they are obviously good players, the prices they sell for are not high at all.
Zorc would never do something stupid like that.
Su Yun didn't expect Zorc to ask this question.
Regarding the future development of Dortmund players, Su Yun does have some ideas. Although Su Yun dare not say that his views are definitely correct, Su Yun believes that they should be absolute.
So I nodded.
"Okay, Michel. Give me two days and I will write you a detailed report on the Dortmund players." (To be continued...)
