On the evening of April 3, Beijing time, the myth of Kaiserslautern, which was highly anticipated by fans, was finally staged again. In the 33rd round of the Belgian First Division, the promoted horse San Giedos beat Standard Liege 3-1 away from home, and with 1 game left in the regular season of the First Division, San Giedos has led the second-place giants Brugge by 5 points, locking up the regular season championship in advance.
In this crucial match, Japan international Kaoru Mitsuru assisted Nelson in the 83rd minute, who scored his team's third goal to rewrite the score to 3-1, killing suspense and locking in the win.
So far this season, Kaoru Mitsuru's performance has attracted widespread attention from the outside world, and he has made 20 appearances, scoring 5 goals and giving 3 assists. In 2020, Mitsuru was worth only 50,000 euros, and in the following season, Mitsuru made 37 appearances for Kawasaki Forward, scoring 18 goals and giving 12 assists.
With its outstanding performance, the value of the three-fold slug quickly rose to 1.6 million euros, an increase of 3100%.
In the summer window of 2021, Premier League side Brighton introduced Three-fold for a transfer fee of 3 million euros, and his value increased by 6100% in just two years, a full 60 times.
Looking back to St. Giedos, in fact, in history, St. Giedos is also a traditional giant, the club was founded in the distant 1897, in 1904, the team won the league for the first time. As a veteran team that has won the Belgian First Division 1 championship 11 times, San Giedos has been showing off as a weak team in recent years.
Last season, San Giedos won the Belgian Second Division and returned to the First Division. The outside world is not optimistic about the prospects of this team, after all, the total value of the whole team is only 20.7 million euros.
What is this concept? Onuachu, the head of the traditionally strong team Genk, is worth as much as 22 million euros alone, directly crushing the entire San Giedos team.
It is no exaggeration to say that St. Giedos, who have returned to the first division, is a pure grassroots team, with players mostly from less powerful countries, captain Toima from Malta, who spent only 350,000 euros when he joined from French Red Star in 2019!
The team's lead scorer Andav is even more obscure, and in the summer of 2020, because of poor performances, German Serie C team Meppen Sport refused to renew his contract and ran into a wall in search of his next job, St. Giedos took him in.
With the last round of the league remaining this season, it is Andav who leads the top scorer list, who scored 23 goals in 33 league rounds, and the 22 million-dollar Onuachu is also good, but also "just" scored 19 goals, ranking third in the top scorer list.
The Japan international, who was worth only 50,000 euros two years ago, the captain who spent 350,000 euros from Ligue 1, the top scorer who was abandoned by the Bundesliga to join the free agent... It is such a team that has soared all the way in this season's First League, and finally won the Belgian League regular season championship in the first round with 23 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses with 74 points, and the Myth of Kaiserslautern has been staged again after 25 years!
