The official announcement of joining, the 38-year-old Zheke officially announced the decision that with a two-year contract, Luneng went to Hong Kong and grabbed people with a high salary
At the age of 38, the veteran Dzeko is still on the green field, and those stars his age have hung up their boots, but Dzeko is still sticking to the front line. The veteran is really "old and strong", playing 46 games for Fenerbahce last season, with 25 goals and 4 assists, which is a statistic that shines everywhere. Some people say that Dzeko on the pitch is more powerful than the air conditioning in the office, and it's not false at all!
Speaking of Dzeko's enduring power, I have to mention his performance in the Turkish Football League. Dzeko, that's really "old trees bloom new flowers", at the age of 38, compared to those new players, it seems to be a replay of an enduring old drama, which is so wonderful that it is difficult to take your eyes off. Don't look at his age, he is still energetic on the field, and his skills and awareness are really breathtaking. Some fans joked that if the opponent of the Turkish Super League is the lights of the nightclub, then Dzeko is the protagonist on the stage, attracting all eyes as soon as he appears.
The mention of Dzeko's possible joining the Chinese Super League has stirred up the football circle. Back then, when Dzeko was at the peak of 31 years old, he was coaxed by the two giants of the Chinese Super League, Luneng and SIPG men's football team, and offered a sky-high contract with an annual salary of 12 million euros and a total price of 280 million yuan. It can be seen that the market value of Zheke in the Super League is simply harder than the "golden hoop stick"! Although he didn't come at that time, this "philosophical spirit" still makes many Chinese Super League teams flock to it, and the charm of the veteran is obviously "gold will shine wherever it is".
Of course, the 38-year-old Dzeko is still effective not only because of his talent, but also because of his love of football and his demanding professional attitude. Dzeko's perseverance and professional training allowed him to maintain such an efficient condition even in his veteran years. This spirit is not only a challenge to myself, but also an incentive for young players. After all, age is never a limit on the road of football, as long as you want, there will always be a place for you on the field.
Dzeko's foreign aid status and salary restrictions, this is really a sweet pie! I think Dzeko was soaring in the European arena back then, but now he may be targeted by Chinese Super League clubs because of his "price concessions". As we all know, the Chinese Super League has a strict salary cap for foreign aid, and the 3 million euro limit makes many giants sigh. But for a veteran like Dzeko, isn't this a great opportunity? On the one hand, you can show your strength in the competition, and on the other hand, you can enjoy the spotlight of the Chinese sports world at a relatively "economical" price.
Let's review the "old relationship" between Dzeko and the Chinese Super League. remembers that when Dzeko was 31 years old, Luneng and SIPG fought for him and offered a blushing contract. At that time, Dzeko would rather continue to run on the green field of Europe than choose to wash his hands in Joaquin. I have to say that Dzeko's dedication is admirable for fans, but for those Chinese Super League teams who want to poach with heavy money, it is empty joy after heartbeats again and again. Now that the years have passed, and the market value of the veteran Dzeko is no longer what it used to be, can this "feeling" continue?
To this day, Dzeko has chosen to join Croatian side Hajduk, where he not only finds a new challenge, but also enjoys an annual salary of 1.5 million to 2 million euros. Although this salary seems a bit shabby compared to the price offered by the giants back then, Dzeko is obviously no longer moved by money. Choosing to return to a league near your home country is more like a home for pure love of football. I have to say that Dzeko's choice also reflects his pattern and feelings as a player, choosing the destination of his soul rather than the temptation of money.
Looking at Dzeko's choice this time, people can't help but feel emotional. As the years go by, the heroes of yesteryear have now chosen a different path from many veterans. His choice is not only admirable, but also has fans looking forward to the final years of his career.
Did Dzeko, the "evergreen" on the football field, finally decide to hang up his boots? Not really! At the age of 38, he still chooses a sweaty green field rather than a cradle of high salary. This time he refused to join Croatia's Hajduk, and Dzeko's annual salary dropped from 10 million euros at his peak to 1.5 million to 2 million euros. It's not just a change in salary, it's a commitment to the love of football. Dzeko doesn't care about the number of zeros, what he cares about is the thrill of being able to run, jump and shoot!
If football is a glass of wine, Dzeko is undoubtedly the drunkard who is unwilling to put down his glass. Why? One reason is that Dzeko's love for football goes beyond the lure of money. The choice to join Croatia's Hajduk is not because there is no higher offer, but because it allows him to continue to enjoy football and continue to chase the wind and the moon on the field. This choice makes people admire his dedication to treating the court as his second home.
Dzeko's fate with the Super League after the age of 40: reality is often more bizarre than fiction, and if it ends in the Super League, it will be a perfect script. But the reality is cruel and poetic. Dzeko's choice makes this almost unlikely. No matter how tempting the Super League is with a high salary, Dzeko seems to have drawn his own circle, and on his football map, the Super League is just a passerby, not the end.
His running on the field is a mark of many people's youth. Dzeko continues to sweat on the green field and pursue honor, and this persistence is an incentive in itself. Fans don't care too much about which team's jersey he wears, and more concerned about how long that familiar back can run on the grass. Dzeko's football career is like a long marathon, and the audience enjoys the process more than the finish.
