Axel Witsel’s indecent and unplanned farewell from the Chinese Super League

After the Witsel transfer event, after nearly half a month of rumors and repeated pulls, the dust finally settled. After Dortmund’s default of 20 million euros, he got the right back. From landing in the Super League in January 2017, and leaving after 19 months, Wittsel’s departure is indeed unexpected. In this way, I will not say goodbye in this way, even if there is no explanation in advance, Witt The breakup between Searle and Quan Jian is not decent.

In January 2017, Wittsel joined Tianjin Quanjian from Russia’s Super Zenit with a transfer fee of 20 million euros. The Belgian at that time had said that not only would he fulfill his three-year contract, but he might also be here for a longer period of time. But unfortunately, before the departure of the team, despite the news that Quan Jian once renewed the contract and offered a high salary to retain, but the Belgians and the team still parted ways.

Wittsel became famous in the past, but he has never had any experience in the five major leagues. Previously, whether it was in the standard Liege, Benfica, or Zenit, although there were good performances, there were often transfer rumors, but the Belgians were far from reaching the goal of the giants. It is also to see this reality, Wittsel is more concerned about personal treatment, after coming to Tianjin Quanjian, he said several times in a straightforward manner, in order to let his family live a better life, there is nothing wrong with personal care. Some criticism of him from the outside world is unreasonable.

Catalyzing Vitesse’s change of mind, perhaps before the start of the World Cup. Nain Golan, who was defeated at the time, had opened fire in the media, saying that coach Martinez actually recruited a Super League midfielder. It is very stupid not to do it himself. Wittsel has been under a lot of pressure. During the World Cup, Wittsell, who was the main force in the World Cup, performed well. In addition to the rest of the Group III match against England, he played the remaining six 540 minutes, averaging 1.83 steals and 1 key interception. There are also good performances on the offensive end.

It is because of his outstanding performance that Vitesse has been favored by many teams, including Paris Saint-Germain, Dortmund, Besiktas and so on. Compared with Bayern and Juventus, they bought Belgians, but they had lower annual salary. This time, because of the low settlement fee, the annual salary proposed by several teams is acceptable to Vitesse.

An excellent trip to the World Cup clearly inspired the Belgian ambition to jump into the giants. Vitesse knew that the 29-year-old himself, if he missed the possibility of landing in the top league in Europe, may not have a chance in the future. In an interview with Dortmund’s official website, Wittsel also made it clear that after the World Cup, his goal is to return to Europe.

Quanjian contract makes Vitesse drill holes? not at all

At the time when Dortmund had canceled the contract with 20 million euros and directly bought the Vitesse contract, many outsiders believed that this was because when the power was contracted with the Belgians, there was no increase in liquidated damages, which led to the passive situation. But in fact, this is not the case.

Let the time return to the beginning of 2017, the right to sign Vitesse is only about 20 million euros, plus the signature fee is not more than 25 million. The Belgian international can be obtained at such a low price because his contract with Zenit is only half a year. If the team does not sell it again, the transfer fee will not be recovered. This is why Juventus once offered a price of 6 million transfer fees and wanted to get Vitesse.

When signing a contract with Quanjian, the reason for the 20 million euros of the termination clause was added. It is foreseeable that Vitesse and his agent have already made plans for the future. Without such clauses, he may not Peace of mind came to the Super League.

According to Zhu Yi, the administrator of China to Germany, the reason why Belgians are willing to come to Quan Jian is to see that such a low liquidated damage is beneficial to him. He can return to Europe at any time. After all, Zenit spent 40 million euros when he signed him from Benfica. Zhu Yi also revealed an unknown information: Vitesse’s cancellation fee is declining year by year, and after the second year of the contract, it may drop to 10 million euros.

Therefore, in this case, with the status of a Super League in the beginning of 2017, it is able to recruit Belgian main players. These costs and concessions must be paid for the power of the thirst. If, as some fans have said, Quan Jian originally asked for a high liquidated damages of 40 million euros with Wittsel, the Belgians may not arrive at all.

Going to pay a million dollars to go to Dort? Not so exaggerated

According to the German media “Pictorial”, this time Wittsel joined Dortmund, the annual salary has dropped from Quangian’s 18 million euros to 7.5 million to 10 million euros, plus bonuses, a drop of 10 million euros. But in fact, it is far from being so exaggerated.

First of all, when Quan Jian was effective, the outside world rumored that Vitesse’s annual salary tax reached 18 million euros. This figure was first revealed by his agent Napolitano in an interview in January 2017 when he was leaving Zenit. His main purpose was to retaliate with Juventus for a price of 6 million euros for Belgians. The transfer fee and the annual salary of 4.5 million euros were dissatisfied. Many details of this interview were later confirmed to be inaccurate. For example, he revealed that the player and Quan Jian had signed for five years. In fact, there were only three years. The two sides had huge liquidated damages, but the actual amount was only 20 million euros.

In response to the annual salary of the team’s internal and external aid, Quan Jian’s senior executives did not say a clear number, but they repeatedly revealed that the salary of foreign aid is far less exaggerated than the outside world, nor has it reached the level of Oscar, Hulk and others. Recently, Tianjin TV’s “New Vision for Sports” interviewed Zhu Yishi, the Chinese administrator of the German market. He also said that the annual salary of Vitesse is only 10 million euros, up to 10 million euros, far less than the amazing figure of 18 million euros.

Let’s look at the recent rendering of the hornet by the German media to give Vitesse a maximum salary of 10 million euros to 12 million euros, which is also an exaggeration. In the Bundesliga, Bayern Neuer and Boateng, the annual salary is only 10 million euros (after tax). Earlier, “Sports Photo” revealed that Royce had an annual salary of 15 million euros and a tax of 8 million euros. A Belgian international who did not play in the five major leagues had just arrived at the team and got such a maximum salary. This is not realistic.

It can be seen that, in addition to the news of several media such as the German “Pictorial” and “Kicker”, the annual salary of Vitesseer to Dortmund should be around 7.5 million euros, which is about 3 million euros. Perhaps it is a version closer to the truth. Assuming that the true annual salary declines to 10 million, Vitesse may not be willing to move

The contract between Witsel and Tianjin Quanjian will expire in January 2020. In his transfer to Dortmund, there are many confusions that are difficult to solve outside. The first is the 20 million withdrawal clause. The big probability that Vitesse and Quanjian signed is RELEASE CLAUSE (the minimum transfer fee clause), that is, the buyer’s club agrees to give this amount, and can negotiate with the player. Rather than BUYOUT CLAUSE (buy contract terms), because this time Wittsel wants to buy out the contract, not only risk but also a lot of taxes.

According to the rules of FIFA, if Dortmund did not communicate with Quanjian and agreed to give a transfer fee of 20 million euros, it would be illegal to contact Vitesse. This is also the previous Belgian domestic media insisted that Vitesse has accepted Dort’s medical examination, Dortmund official has always denied, Quan Jian has also said that he did not receive contact with the other club. Obviously both sides understand the rules of FIFA.

Before the competition between Quan Jian and Jianye, coach Sousa personally revealed that they received a quote from the European club for Vitesse, which can be seen as a statement that Quan Jian could not let go. After all, the terms of the termination of the contract are in the contract, and there is no way for the power. As a luxury club, the Hornet naturally knows the procedure for buying such players. Therefore, it is unfounded to think that Dortmund has bought a Belgian suspect of violating the rules.

Transfer is the freedom of any player. As long as the buyer, the seller’s club and the player reach an agreement, the player can choose the next stop he wants to go, not to mention the minimum penalty clause in the contract. Some fans believe that from the point of view, since there is determination to leave, but has not informed the club, the Belgian approach is not very kind.

When Wei Jian left the preparations for the World Cup, Wittsel did not reveal the attitude and clues to transfer. He even looked forward to the future AFC Champions League, hoping to advance with Quan Jian. But after the World Cup alone, the Belgians came a 180-degree turn.

It is believed that the Belgians have been deliberately not informed that the Quanjian Club will be transferred, and there may be misunderstandings. Because the transfer period of the Super League ended at 0:00 on July 14th, and the Belgian team’s 3rd and 4th finals started at 22 o’clock on July 14th. Therefore, Vitesse, who was nervous about preparing for the World Cup, may not have considered the transfer yet. The problem is that when he wants to understand, the transfer period of the Super League has already ended.

It is said that Wittsel is not kind, because when he is in urgent need of employing people, even if he is ready to transfer, after nearly 23 days of rest, Wittsel has no clear reply and notice to the club. Contrast Paulinho after playing the season in La Liga and following the World Cup with Brazil, he returned to Evergrande to help the team. Even if the Belgians do not return to the team after the World Cup, do they owe the fans and the club a confession and a statement?

The most injured in the Witsel transfer event is the Tianjin Quanjian Club. This season, as the champion of the AFC Champions League, they are very eager to make a breakthrough, but after such an absolute main waist, the team’s future performance will inevitably be affected. In the five rounds after the gap period, Quan Jian 2 wins and 3 losses is not satisfactory. What makes coach Sosa most helpless is that during the gap period, he will also use Vitesse as the main force to develop the tactical plan for the second half of the season, but now the offensive and defensive hub has changed the door.

What is more serious is that at the end of the transfer of the Super League, Quan Jian has no time to replace foreign aid. With the strength of Quanjian and the past, they don’t care about buying a foreigner with the same level as Wittsel at a high price, but the helpless thing is that now they have to pay at least next season if they have the money and intention. team.

On the other hand, Quan Jian also suffered a lot in economics. When he bought Vitesse, he did not transfer the adjustment fee. Once the team buys another foreigner with the same strength next season, even if it is only 20 million euros, they have to pay another 20 million euros of transfer fees to the Football Association, about 158 ​​million. The money that is lost unreasonably can buy a strong domestic aid at the international level in the Super League.

With the arrival of the Super League and the AFC Champions League, the power lineup will continue to be stretched. In addition to leaving Vitesse, there is also a poor state of Modested. In fact, in the case of the Belgian transfer, Quan Jian signed from the original to the helpless release, the club has no faults, but after the encounter, the next time Quan Quan may have to look forward to a peace of mind can The players who stay here.
