Real Madrid overtook Girona again and Carlo Ancelotti's side returned to the top of La Liga. scored twice, Joselu once again proved that he is not a parallel import, and the 33-year-old Spanish international made Melinger sigh: Is there a more cost-effective center forward in the world? With his 13th goal of the season, Joselu repaid Real Madrid's trust in him, and he was the best No.9 player in years apart from Benzema. You have to admire: Real Madrid's transfer policy is really great!
At the beginning of the season, many Real Madrid fans were confused, why Joselu? Is it because he is a player from the Real Madrid echelon? Can a 33-year-old be up to the task? Even now, there are still many fans complaining about Joselu because he wasted too many opportunities. However, in the face of the data, those doubters had to give in: 13 goals and 3 assists, no matter how you look at Joselu, it is not bad.
Perhaps a comparison will be clearer, let's see how the "sworn enemy" Barcelona operates. In order to make up for the vacancy of the center forward, the financially strapped Barcelona spent a huge sum of 45 million to poach Lewandowski from Bayern, and Lewandowski proved the deal right in his first season, scoring 33 goals. However, in the second season, Lewandowski was lost, and so far he has only scored 13 goals, which is the same as Joselu.
The biggest disparity is also in the transfer fee and salary, and the price paid by Real Madrid and Barcelona is simply very different. Real Madrid only invested €500,000 in Joselu on loan, a gap of 44.5 million with Lewandowski's $45 million transfer fee. The salary is even more exaggerated, Joselu is the lowest wage earner in Real Madrid, and he has a pre-tax income of 1.1 million euros. On the other hand, Lewandowski was 20 million euros in the first season and 26 million euros in the second season.
As I said before, Real Madrid's transfer policy is very good, and Barcelona really has to learn from it with an open mind, you must know that Lewandowski is also 33 years old when he comes. In fact, Real Madrid also almost invested heavily to fill the vacancy of the No. 9 position, and Osimhen, Hojlen, and Vlahovic are all closely linked with Real Madrid.
However, Joselu still won, and the big three were also overshadowed. This season, Osimhen has scored just eight goals, Hojlen has scored nine and Vlahovic has scored 12. Even when comparing assists, Joselu is ranked first with 3 times.
Word of mouth is earned by oneself, respect is earned by oneself, and Joselu conquered the demanding Real Madrid fans. Now, many fans hope that Real Madrid can buy out Joselu, not as a reward but as he deserves Real Madrid. It is worth noting that even if it is a buyout, Real Madrid only needs to pay 1.5 million euros, and there is no need to talk about the high cost performance.
For Joselu, money really doesn't matter, even if he is the one who gets the least money from Real Madrid. As Serlu said: "It's my dream to play for Real Madrid and I'm enjoying it now".
