Chapter 20 Rising Value

After the end of Europe's major leagues, the famous football portal German transfer market also carried out the last update of the player value of the season.

Fans who paid attention to Zhang Chaoqiang quickly noticed that Zhang Chaoqiang's value finally ushered in an increase.

In fact, when he signed a professional contract with Lyon last summer, Zhang Chaoqiang was worth as much as 1.5 million euros in the German transfer market.

That's what he's worked hard for in half a season in Ligue 3.

The value of 1.5 million euros seems a bit unpopular in European football, after all, the two men at the top are fierce men worth hundreds of millions.

But in Chinese football, 1.5 million euros can indeed be described as the word Gouda.

Because this is undoubtedly the first value of an active Chinese player.

But in the following six months, Zhang Chaoqiang has not been given a chance in Lyon, and his value was lowered to 1 million euros during the winter break.

If he continues to sit on the cold bench, maybe Zhang Chaoqiang's value will continue to fall, and soon become the same as most domestic players.

Fortunately, in the last two months of the season, Zhang Chaoqiang finally got a chance and ushered in a wave of explosions.

And with this wave of outbreaks, his value has also increased explosively.

"Zhang Chaoqiang's worth has risen to 2.5 million euros, and the number one in active service is indisputable"

"Nine games increase the value of 1.5 million, Zhang Chaoqiang is expected to set a record for Chinese players next season"

"The latest worth of 2.5 million, Zhang Chaoqiang is already the third in the history of Chinese football"

Zhang Chaoqiang's latest value in the German transfer market was raised to 2.5 million euros, a one-time increase of 150%, which is indeed explosive growth.

Crucially, he played a total of nine games in his final two months.

Seven Ligue 1 appearances, three of which started and four as a substitute, contributing two goals and two assists.

In one appearance in the French League Cup, he contributed one goal and one assist.

1 appearance in the Europa League, creating a penalty.

Three goals and three assists in nine games, which is a good statistic for a substitute striker.

Especially in the Europa League against Juventus, and in the French League Cup final against Paris, those two games really made Zhang Chaoqiang play a certain popularity.

At the same time, his value has risen, which is the biggest bonus in those two games.

Among the current Chinese players, in addition to Zhang Chaoqiang, the most valuable is Evergrande defender Zhang Linpeng, just 1 million euros.

So Zhang Chaoqiang's 2.5 million euros makes him the undisputed number one active player.

At the same time, if you compare the historical value, Zhang Chaoqiang is already the third in history.

There are only two people in the history of Chinese football who are more valuable than Zhang Chaoqiang.

The first is Sun Jihai, who was worth 4.5 million euros during his time at Manchester City in 2006.

The second is Zheng Zhi, who was worth 3 million euros during his time at Charlton Athletic in 2007.

Zhang Chaoqiang's rising value has attracted the attention of Chinese fans, and everyone has begun to discuss his future again.

"Brother Qiangzi is just amazing, and his value has risen sharply after only a few games."

"Continue to work hard next season and strive to become the main striker as soon as possible."

"Remy Garde's pit is finally out, Brother Qiangzi will definitely get more opportunities next season, and it is not a big problem to play the main team."

"Not necessarily, Lyon is a Ligue 1 powerhouse, and the main striker is not so competitive."

"Why not? Hasn't Brother Qiangzi's performance been good enough recently? As long as you have eyes, you can see it, and Brother Qiangzi can see the rapid rise of the ball with the naked eye. ”

"yes, a 150% increase in worth doesn't tell the story?"

"Do you have common sense, Brother Hat's value has risen a lot because of his low starting point, not how good he really is, just the level of a substitute in Ligue 1, and he really wants to be a star to blow?"

"If you want to say it's worth it, right? Lyon officials have decided not to renew the contract with the main striker Gomi, do you know how much Gomi is worth? 12 million euros! People even let go of 12 million players casually, and they still care about you, a 25000 substitute? ”

"Let's do it, report the black powder upstairs."

"Can that be the same? Gomi is 29 years old and has little room for growth for a long time, and Brother Qiangzi is only 19 years old and has a bright future. ”

"The sunspots are really hard enough, and they have to bother to find the data black hadron brother."

"Then sunspots, tell me, which player is worth tens of millions as soon as he debuts? Isn't it all worth a little bit of kicking? Even Mero's worth was almost zero when he first debuted, and it slowly rose later. ”

"The key is whether the player has the potential and whether he is constantly improving."

"Even if Brother Qiang Zi continues to play as a substitute next season, I believe it won't be long before he becomes the first value in the history of Chinese players."

"To be fair, we shouldn't deliberately belittle Zhang Chaoqiang, no matter how much he says that he is the most promising Chinese player at the moment, but we shouldn't over-praise it, otherwise it will put too much pressure on him."

"That's right, I've been paying attention to Brother Qiangzi, and my expectations for him have never changed, the lower limit is Sun Jihai, who can stand in the five major leagues for a long time, and the upper limit is Park Ji-sung or Shinji Kagawa, who can really play in European football."

"Indeed, as long as Brother Qiangzi is really in between in the future, then he is a successful player."

"Speaking of Kagawa, he doesn't seem to be doing well lately, and he's been struggling at Manchester United."

"I heard I'm going back to the Bundesliga."

"Shinji Kagawa is not very good, but there is a great Asian player in the Bundesliga."

"It's South Korean, called Son Heung-min, who played very well in Hamburg in the Bundesliga before, and this season he moved to the pharmaceutical company Bayer Leverkusen, and the upward momentum is quite strong."

"Of course it's fierce, everyone has worn a hat in the Bundesliga."

"This is Son Heung-min's stats this season, with 31 appearances in the Bundesliga, 10 goals and 4 assists; 4 appearances in the German Cup, 2 goals and 1 assist; Eight appearances in the Champions League, two assists. ”

"Park Ji-sung just went down, and immediately another Son Heung-min came, I'm really a little sour."

"There are more than 20 Japanese and South Korean players in the five major leagues, and we in China have an unexpectedly only seedling Zhang Chaoqiang, and there are always people who want to trample him to death."

"In fact, Brother Qiangzi's data of 2 goals and 2 assists in 7 games in Ligue 1 is also good, if you convert it in the same proportion, if he makes 31 appearances in Ligue 1, the data should be 9 goals and 9 assists."

"I hope that Brother Qiangzi will be more energetic and become our Chinese Sun Xingmin."

When fans were talking about Zhang Chaoqiang, he was selling things in the commissary.

"Qiangzi, school is on vacation?"

"Yes, Grandpa Chen, this is the vinegar you want."

After seeing the gray-haired old man leave, Zhang Chaoqiang secretly smiled bitterly.

Their commissary is located under an old building in an urban village, and in addition to temporary customers passing by, the residents of the old building are also important customers.

Since the sixth grade of primary school, Zhang Chaoqiang has often come to the store to look at the store, so he has a basic understanding of the residents in the building.

But now that he has been playing in France for four years, there are still many people who still think that he is studying in school.

I'm not as famous as I thought I was.

This is a reality that Zhang Chaoqiang only recognized after returning to China.

When Zhang Chaoqiang was in France, he often paid attention to domestic football websites, and every time he found that there were a lot of topics about himself.

So on the plane home, when he was bored, he also practiced signing in case he needed it.

But after he actually returned to China, he found that no one picked up his plane at all, and basically no one knew that he was a player all the way home.

Even many of the neighbors in the old building didn't know anything about him, except that he was still studying.

"It seems that you really don't take yourself too seriously as a person." Zhang Chaoqiang realized the meaning of this sentence.

At this time, the mobile phone vibrated and rang, and Zhang Chaoqiang immediately heard his mother's shout after connecting: "Qiangzi, hurry back to eat." ”

"What about the store?"

"Your dad will go downstairs and watch right now."

"Oh."

"Come back quickly, I made braised carp for you, and your father said that it is better for athletes to eat fish."

"Got it, I'll be right back."
