The start of the new Dutch league season is approaching, and the summer transfer window has not yet been closed, but the transfer work of many teams has been completed for the most part. For the new season, the main personnel changes of the Dutch first team, I hope that through this article, I can bring you a little enlightenment. We also welcome everyone to continue to pay attention to the Yingcai Cat APP - Yang Zhen column.
Average age/winning index/player value of each team in the 21-22 Eredivisie season
Ajax
Last season's ranking: 1
Team manager: Tenhag (Netherlands, 51)
Main transfers: Boguis (winger, Feyenoord, €5.5 million), Gottell (goalkeeper, forward eagle, €1 million), Pasville (goalkeeper, Verdis, liberty)
Main transfers: Marin (midfielder, Cagliari, €10 million), L. Traore (centre-forward, Shakhtar Donetsk, €10 million), Noah Long (winger, Brugge, €6 million), Serpen (goalkeeper, Brighton, €5 million)
Tenhag joined Ajax at the end of 2017 and has won the Dutch First Division and the Dutch Cup twice in the past three seasons. Goalkeeper Onana is still in the ban period, and the team has signed forward eagles' main goalkeeper Gottell and veteran Paswell as a supplement, after all, the Dutch national Stecrandborg is already 38 years old.
On the offensive line, captain Boguis, who scored 18 goals and provided 14 assists for Feyenoord last season, joined strongly, while taking back the center Danilo who was loaned to Twente, plus players such as Haller, Tadić, Neres and Anthony of the Brazilian national Olympic team, the offensive firepower and bench depth of Ajax in the new season have been significantly improved.
In the new season, in addition to fighting for the league title, Ajax also hopes to go further in the Champions League.
Eindhoven
Last season's ranking: 2
Team manager: Schmidt (Germany, 54)
Main transfers: Dromel (goalkeeper, Twente, €3.5 million), Lamallo (centre-back, Red Bull Salzburg, €2.5 million), Proper (midfielder, Brighton, liberty), Van Kinkel (midfielder, Chelsea, liberty)
Main transfers: Mullen (centre-forward, Dortmund, €30 million), Rosario (midfielder, Nice, €6m), Piauer (centre-forward, Swansea, €2 million)
Former Guoan manager Schmidt took over the team last season, and although he did not have a chance to challenge Ajax's supremacy, it was a good result to finish second in the league. After the European Championship in the summer, the two big powers, Dumfries and Mullen, mullen has gone to Dortmund, and full-back Dumfries may leave at any time. In this case, Schmidt led Eindhoven to a big victory in the Champions League qualification round and showed his control in the 4-0 victory over Ajax in the Super Cup.
In the new season, in addition to the departure of the two big players, the departure of midfielder Rosario still has an impact, and Prosper will make up for the depth of the team's bench in midfield. But Eindhoven also has good news, Götze is in excellent shape after recovering from injury, Zahavi's shooting skills are still accurate, young players Madujek and Gakbo can also be alone, the team's offensive line in addition to the general depth of the bench, the main squad is still quite good.
In addition, the signing of centre-back Ramalho from Red Bull Salzburg has firmly occupied the starting position, which is a big surprise for Eindhoven this season. Overall, Eindhoven's strength is at the top of the Dutch first division, but after multi-line combat, there is still no way to break the wrist with Ajax.
Feyenoord
Last season's ranking: 5
Team manager: Sloter (42, Netherlands)
Main transfers: Jahanbachsh (winger, Brighton, €1.1 million), Pedersen (right-back, Molde, €1 million), Trauna (centre-back, Linz, €1 million), Osnis (midfielder, Molde), GusTil (midfielder, Sparta Moscow, loan)
Main transfers: Boguis (winger, Ajax, €5.5 million), Marsman (goalkeeper, International Miami, Liberty), Nick Yorgensen (centre-forward, Caspasa, Liberty), Niufcup (full-back, St. Giloz United, Liberty)
Ed Vocat left Feyenoord at the end of last season, and the team brought in Sloter, who had previously led the team in Alkmaar, and the opponents in the European Union Cup at the beginning of the season were weak and did not see too many problems.
In the transfer market, The biggest news of Feyenoord is that captain Boguez has sold to Ajax for 5.5 million euros, which is really incredible. In terms of transfers, Iranian striker Jahan Baksh won the Dutch Golden Boot when he played in Alkmaar, but was not very happy in the Premier League (2 goals in 3 Premier League seasons), and this time the low price return to the Dutch League is a bit of a treasure-hunting nature.
The biggest surprise of the new season Isenoord is the attacker GusTil on loan from Sparta Moscow, a 23-year-old native who played in Alkmaar, went to the Russian Bundesliga and returned to the Dutch League, and has scored 5 goals in the 3 UEFA Cup games before the season, with a goal efficiency of nearly 50 minutes and 1 goal! In the backline, Trauna and Pederson, two newcomers, can play the main force, and the transfer effect is not bad.
Personally, the probability of Jahanbachsh's rise is not high, and it is very important whether GusTil still has such a high scoring efficiency in the Dutch first division, otherwise it is difficult for players to make up for the offensive losses caused by Boguys's departure.
Alkmaar
Last season's ranking: 3
Team manager: Pascal Jensen (Netherlands, 48)
Main transfers: Pavlidis (centre-forward, Willem II, €2.5 million), Beaukma (centre-back, forward eagle, €900,000)
Main transfers: Boyado (centre-forward, Monaco, €17m), Stens (winger, Nice, €15m), Bizot (goalkeeper, Brest, €5m)
In the new season, Alkmaar sold three main players to Ligue 1. Centre-forward Boyado, who scored 15 goals, went to Monaco, winger Stens, who scored seven goals, went to Nice, and main goalkeeper Bizot went to Brest. As a complement, Greek centre-forward Pavridis, who scored 23 Eredivis goals in two seasons at Willian II, joined. In the goalkeeper position, the team did not introduce the corresponding players as a supplement, and it is estimated to correct the second Menville Muster last season. In the centre-back position, Indy, who performed well last season, was bought out, and Beukma, who played the main force in the forward eagle, will become a supplement to the backline.
Coach Pascal Jensen turned from van den Brom's assistant coaching position last season and led the team well. The new season will have a headache for the team to sell the three main players.
Utrecht
Last season's standings: 6
Team manager: Hack (Netherlands, 49)
Main transfers: Dovikas (centre-forward, Volos NPS, €1.2 million), Timbel (midfielder, Ajax, liberty), Zagre (left-back, Monaco, loan)
Main draws: Guwala (left-back, Regensburg, Liberty), Borgstrom (centre-back, Willem II, Liberty)
Haque took over van den Brom (who went to Genk) halfway through last season, first after a short probationary period, then turned around and led the team to 6th in the league, doing well.
In the new season, Utrecht basically retained all the main forces of last season, and the players who left were relatively marginal. In terms of introduction, the 22-year-old Greek centre-forward Dovikas scored 10 goals in 26 appearances in the Greek Super League last season; Ajax midfielder Timbel lost his main position in the Dutch Second Division last season and moved to Utrecht to prove himself; left-back Zagre made his debut in the Paris youth training but did not play in Ligue 1 and also came to the Eredivisie to find his feelings.
Overall, the lineup and strength of Utrecht in the new season have not changed much, and Harker will stay until next summer, and the team will still have a relatively stable performance.
Verdis
Last season's ranking: 4
Team manager: Letersch (Germany, 52)
Main transfers: Shubert (goalkeeper, Schalke, freedom), Fedrickson (centre-forward, Juve), Dom Jungne (midfielder, Zurich, liberty), von Moss (midfielder, Basel, loan)
Main transfers: Passville (goalkeeper, Ajax, freedom), Bruens (midfielder, unknown), Borja (centre-forward, Chelsea, loan return)
German Reitsch was previously the head of red bull salzburg's youth academy and led the team to several youth championship titles. He then spent a year coaching in Vienna, Austria, where he became manager of Vidis last season. In the first season of his leadership, Vidis achieved the best ranking in the Dutch League in the past 20 years (4th), and also reached the final of the Dutch Cup, and finally lost the Dutch Cup final because he was killed by 1 less person. It should be said that Lightsch was the key to Vidis's outbreak last season.
The new season the team has two main players, the 37-year-old goalkeeper Pasville went to Ajax as a spare tire, and the center Borja, who scored 11 goals, was taken back by Chelsea. In response to these two, the team signed Schalke goalkeeper Schubert and Juve youngster Fedrickson, both of whom started in the European League cup at the beginning of the season. Vidis's squad is not so strong, and the two-line battle of the new season, as well as changes in the lineup, will be a severe test.
Heerenveen
Last season's ranking: 12
Manager: Johnny Jensen (Netherlands, 46)
Main transfers: Van Iwick (full-back, The Hague, €600,000), Van Bik (centre-back, Feyenoord, freedom), Moss (goalkeeper, Zwolle, freedom), Stvanovic (winger, Manchester City, loan)
Main transfers: Floranos (full-back, Antalya Sport, liberty), Schöne (midfielder, Nijmegen, liberty), Van Heyk (centre-back, Brighton, loan return)
This year marks the third season led by coach Jensen, whose record has been consistent between 10-12th place over the past three seasons. Judging from the transfer operation of the team in the new season, the possibility of a particularly large improvement is almost zero, after all, the team has only made minor adjustments to the back line. In the new season, the main centre-back Van Heyck and the main full-back Floranos both left the team, and the van Iwick and Van Bik introduced in the opposite position, the Eredivisie experience is relatively rich, but whether there can be a stable performance in the new team remains to be seen.
Groningen
Last season's ranking: 7
Team manager: Bouyce (Netherlands, 39)
Main transfers: Tammy Abraham (centre-forward, Solna, €2 million), Sverco (centre-back, Saarbrücken, €400,000), Engelgne (winger, Waalwijk, €200,000), Derrius (centre-forward, Emmen, free transfer)
Main transfers: Robben (winger, retired), Itakura (centre-back, Manchester City, return on loan), Pat (goalkeeper, Ludogorets, freedom), Da Cruz (centre-forward, Parma, return on loan)
By the end of last season, the 39-year-old Bouyce had already coached Groningen for 100 games, during which time the team won 38 games, and the winning percentage was not very low. In the past three seasons, Bouyce has brought Groningen to the top 10 and played relatively steadily. The biggest news of the new season is That Robben announcing his retirement again, after all, the years are not spared.
If the impact of Robben's retirement on the team is more of a concern, then the departure of the two main players of the back line, Itakura Andi and Pat, put forward relatively high requirements for the construction of groningen's defense in the new season. On the offensive line, the team bought out Solna's Abraham, but his goal efficiency was not high, Da Cruz left the team, groningen need to find a second scoring point outside of Strand Larsson as soon as possible, otherwise the new season will have to fight for relegation.
Twente
Last season's ranking: 10
Team manager: Ron Jens (Netherlands, 62)
Main transfers: Unestar (goalkeeper, Eindhoven, freedom), Robin Propper (centre-back, Hercules, liberty), Sadilek (midfielder, Eindhoven, on loan), Lymbnius (winger, Cologne, loan)
Main transfers: Dromel (goalkeeper, Eindhoven, 3.5 million euro), Danilo (centre-forward, Ajax, returning on loan), Ebuech (right-back, Benfica, returning on loan), Nassinger (winger, Feyenoord, returning on loan)
The 62-year-old Ron Jens was experienced enough to leave Jens' footprints in the Eredivisie, Groningen, Heerenfin and Zwolle, and in the 13/14 season, Jens also led Zwolle to the Dutch Cup and the Following Year the Dutch Super Cup. After Twente returned from the Dutch Second Division 18/19, the first season was only barely relegated, led by Jens from last season, but the results were only 10th in the league, and the improvement was not obvious.
In the new season, Twente lost two key players, the main goalkeeper Dromey and the top scorer Danilo. In order to make up for the gap in the team's goalkeeper position, Twente waived Eindhoven's Unestar, but objectively speaking, Danilo, who scored 17 goals in a single season, left the team, and it was difficult for Twente to find an efficient shooter to fill.
In addition to goalkeeper Unestar and midfielder Sadyleck, who are both from PSV Eindhoven, centre-back Robin Propper is experienced in Eredivisie and is the brother of Eindhoven midfielder Dave Propper. The number of Twente reinforcements in the new season is quite large, and the quality remains to be seen, especially who can fill the gap in Danilo's goal scoring ability.
Sparta Rotterdam
Last season's standings: 8
Team manager: Fraser (Netherlands, 55)
Main transfers: Laurent Jens (right-back, Standard Liège, Liberty), Gu deming (midfielder, Alkmaar, loan), Van Cruy (winger, Venlo)
Main draws: Grafenberg (centre-forward, Graf Sharp, liberty), Duarte (midfielder, liberty), Fortes (full-back, liberty), Meyers (full-back, The Hague, return on loan),
With Van Gaal returning to the dutch national team coaching position, Vlaser also became the assistant coach of the Dutch national team, and will assist van Gaal to lead the Dutch national team to the World Preliminary Tournament. Vladzer has previously served as manager at Sparta Rotterdam and Vidis, and was also the manager of the Netherlands U21. It is also natural that he will also serve as an assistant coach of the national team this time.
Spartan Rotterdam have been a lift in the Eredivisie over the past few seasons and the squad has not changed much this season. Among the players transferred, the 19-year-old Gu deming was previously the main player in the Dutch Second Division and still needs time to exercise in the Dutch first division; full-back Jens has played in the Bundesliga and the first division before, which is a strong complement to the team's backline. Winger Van Kruy was the main player in Venlo last season and has a wealth of Eredivisie experience, scoring nine goals in 30 games at Zwolle in 18/19, the highest season in his personal light.
Overall, there is no substantial improvement in the strength of the team compared with last season, and it is not clear whether Frazer's concurrently serving as assistant coach of the national team will have an impact on the work of the club. In Russia, there is also the situation that Karpin is the coach of Rostov and the Russian national team at the same time, and we should pay more attention to this situation of one coach serving two masters.
Hercules
Last season's ranking: 9
Team manager: Worms (Germany, 60)
Main transfers: Sonnenberg (centre-back, Rostock, €100,000), Damen (goalkeeper, elite, freedom), Halvin (goalkeeper, Emmen, freedom), Laursen (striker, Emmen)
Main transfers: Bieleveld (midfielder, Emmen, freedom), Hardverd (full-back, Emmen, liberty), Robin Propper (centre-back, Twente, liberty), Brouvel (goalkeeper, Emmen, loan)
Coach Worms has been leading the team at Hercules for 3 years, playing more than 100 games. Before coming to the Eredivisie, Worms was the manager of the German U20, and for the past three seasons, Hercules has ranked 7-9, which is relatively stable.
In the transfer market, the team lost the main centre-back Propper, and the second goal Brouwell, in the back line, facing a certain adjustment. After all, the team's Blaswich will be absent for a while at the beginning of the season due to injury, so Rostock's Sonnenberg and elite goalkeeper Damen in the Dutch Second Division joined. It looks like Hercules' defensive start of the season will have a period of instability.
William II
Last season's ranking: 14
Team manager: Fred Grim (Netherlands, 55)
Main transfers: Ulrike Jensen (centre-back, North Zealand, liberty), Bergstrøm (centre-back, Utrecht, loan), Svensson (midfielder, Hirssinborg), Mitchells (centre-back, Milan)
Main moves: Tressel (midfielder, Genk, €3.5 million), Pavlidis (centre-forward, Alkmaar, €2.5 million), Holmen (centre-back, Ritzer Sport, freedom), Pitts (centre-back, retired), Van Bicker (centre-back, Fayenoord, return on loan), van der Boggett (centre-back, Den Bosch, freedom)
In the new season, Willian II and Petrovic ended their partnership, and the team brought in Grimm, who led the promotion in The Dutch Second Division Valvick last season. Grimm has previously served as an assistant coach with coaches such as Tenkat, Brynde Sr. and Ede Wojc, and has independent coaching experience in teams such as Almere City and Walvik, and has quite good experience and ability.
There have been major changes in the main framework of Willem II in the new season, with Theresael, who has the most goals in midfield and 11 assists at the same time, moving to the first division, and the top scorer Pavridis was bought by Alkmaar, which means that the two most threatening players in the team's offensive line leave the team at the same time.
In addition, the main center-back Holmen and a number of semi-main center-backs Pieters, Van Bik and other players have left, which also led to the need for the team to make adjustments in the position of center-back. So among the players introduced, the center-back has become a very important reinforcement position. But so far, the team's offensive line has not been supplemented by a considerable amount of weight, coupled with the fact that the new defenders need time to adapt to the Dutch first division, this season has been a tough challenge for the new coach Grimm.
Zwolle
Last season's ranking: 13
Team manager: Langler (Netherlands, 50 years old)
Main transfers: Lampro (goalkeeper, Valvic, freedom), Mistvet (full-back, Sporting Lisbon, freedom), Sindrar (goalkeeper, Alkmaar, freedom), Castaniel (winger, Coventry, freedom), Voyt (centre-back, Brugge)
Main moves out: Limans (midfielder, Vyborg, Liberty), Moss (goalkeeper, Heerenveen, freedom), Misidjan (winger, Twente, freedom), van Dujning (centre-forward, OFI, freedom), Dost (midfielder, liberty), Guchannejad (centre-forward, freedom), Thomas Lamb (centre-back, freedom)
Ron Jens led Zwolle to the Dutch Cup in 2014 and left the team in 2017. Since then, Zwolle's successive managers have not been in charge for more than 2 years, and the team has worked hard for relegation for 3 consecutive years. After a tumultuous last season, the team chose a new coach for the new season, and in 2013 Jens' predecessor Langler returned to Zwolle. Rangler went from Zwolle's youth training all the way to the first team manager, coaching the team in 132 games from 2010-2013, leading the team to promotion to the Dutch First Division in 2012. After leaving Zwolle, Langler also briefly became the manager of the Dutch U21 national team.
In the new season, the team has some important players left the team in the offensive line, and the introduced Castañil has played in the Dutch first division in Breda before, and will not be unfamiliar with this league, but the goal efficiency is not high, and the team's offensive strength in the new season will decline somewhat. In the goalkeeper position, Lampro was The main player of Valvic last season and can be qualified for Zwolle's no. 1 goalkeeper position in the new season. For Langler, who has returned to the old land, the challenge of leading the team to relegation is not small.
Fortuna
Last season's ranking: 11
Manager: Uldi (Netherlands, 34)
Main transfers: Seltic (midfielder, Altinordu FK, freedom), Ferrati (midfielder, Mannheim, freedom), Dorny Busch (centre forward, Brunswick, freedom)
Main transfers: Dianissi (Winger, Pau, Freedom), Donker (Winger, Freedom)
Uldi, who has worked at Fortuna for many years, was an assistant coach for former manager Hohholland, and became the team's manager for the second time last season, averaging 1.52 points per game in 25 games.
The new season's team has basically retained the main framework of last season, and most of the players who left the team are marginal people. In terms of transfer, 18-year-old Turkish midfielder Seltic and 23-year-old German midfielder Ferrati are both less than 1 meter 7 tall, and it is doubtful whether the two technical players can play the main force in the Dutch first division. Centre forward Dorny Busch has played in the Bundesliga before, but his goal efficiency is not high, and these introductions do not seem to immediately improve the team's strength.
Nijmegen
Last season's ranking: B 7
Manager: Mayer (Netherlands, 39)
Main transfers: Ackermann (centre-forward, Eintracht Frankfurt, loan), Schöne (midfielder, Heerenveen, liberty), Marquis (centre-back, Clarkevia, liberty), Bronckhorst (full-back, Tursda), Gus (centre-back, Atalanta, on loan)
Main transfers: Serov (winger, Utrecht Youth, freedom), Albras (goalkeeper, Os, freedom), Janga (centre-forward, Astana, return on loan), Ondan (winger, Grenoble, return on loan)
Manager Mayer previously worked at the club in youth training, has been the assistant coach since 2019, began to become the team manager last season, and the team also returned to the Dutch First Division after a gap of 4 years. Nijmegen's promotion path was not easy, the team won the 7th place in the Dutch Second Division, and defeated the opponent in the play-offs with consecutive big scores.
In the new season, the team has lost 12 goals to the center forward Yenga, and the center Ackermann on loan from Eintracht Frankfurt will become the team's main attacking point in the Dutch First Division, along with midfielder Bruin and winger Tafsan. In midfield, Nijmegen looks to have gained a lot, with some quality players on loan. Of course, for a promoted horse, it is difficult for the dutch second defensive line to adapt to the dutch first division, not to mention, Nijmegen's defensive data is not the best in the dutch second division.
Waalwijk
Last season's standings: 15
Manager: Ustin (Netherlands, 49)
Main transfers: Pereira (goalkeeper, Manchester United, liberty), Cramer (centre-forward, The Hague, liberty), Lutonda (full-back, Anderlecht), Odergo (centre-forward, Sassuolo, loan)
Main moves: Ngongo (winger, Groningen, 200,000 euro), Lampro (goalkeeper, Zwolle, freedom), Tasiri (midfielder, Cluj, freedom)
Last season, Waalwijk finished in 4th place last season with a goal difference and a thrilling relegation success. The previous season, if it were not for the epidemic, Valwijk would have been relegated to Dutch Second Division last season. At the end of the season, manager Grimm went to Willem II and the team brought in Vidis assistant coach Ustin to continue the relegation challenge.
The team lost the main wingers Ngongo, Sila Saw and Ola John in the new season, all of whom shared the team's wing position last season. Main goalkeeper Lampro also moved to Zwolle, main midfielder Tacitus went to Romania, and midfielder T. Ustin also left the team, leaving many players. Of course, the quality of the team's transfer is not bad, Manchester United goalkeeper Pereira free to join, the center striker Cramer is also the main player in the Dutch First Division, from Sassuolo's danish centre-forward Odergao, we can also pay attention to how it performs.
Cambul
Last season's ranking: B1
Team manager: Genk De Jong (Netherlands, 56)
Main transfers: Thor (centre-back, Volendam, Freedom), Hendrix (Center, Forward Hawks, Freedom), Borrey (Center, Meppen, Liberty)
Main transfers: Muhren (centre-forward, Jurt, return on loan), Cramer (centre-back, Alkmaar, returning on loan), Newport (centre-back, elite, freedom), Olatman Ghosn (winger, forward eagle, freedom), Colt (winger, Graf Sharp, freedom),
Genk De Jong has been manager three times before and after In Kampur, returning to the team in 2019. In the past two seasons, Cambul has won the first place in the Eredivisie, but because of the epidemic, Cambul waited for another year before returning to the Eredivisie. The last time the team played in the Dutch first division, it was the 15-16 season. Judging by The results of The past two seasons in Campble, the manager should take the lead.
The second hero of the promotion should be center Muhren, the 31-year-old goalscorer who scored 38 goals in the Dutch Second Division this season and won the Golden Boot, and is also the key figure in the team's single season goal scores. Everyone must be curious, didn't Cambul also win the Dutch Second Division in the previous season? Yes, the credit is still Mukhren, who scored 26 goals in a single season. So, This season's return to the first division of Muhren is definitely a huge loss for Campur's offensive firepower. Hendricks, who was introduced by the team, played in the Forward Eagles last season, and only scored 8 goals in 35 games in the Dutch Second Division, and such a goal efficiency can certainly not be compared with Muehren. As for Borrey, who was introduced from the Bundesliga, naturally we can't expect too much.
Forward Eagle
Last season's ranking: B2
Team manager: Wandren (Netherlands, 52)
Main transfers: Bulhani (midfielder, Niort, freedom), Riddberg (centre-forward, Gävle, freedom), Solomons (midfielder, Os, freedom), Hahn (goalkeeper, Anderlecht, freedom), Naubel (centre-back, Sandhausen, freedom)
Main transfers: Gottell (goalkeeper, Ajax, €1 million), Bekmår (centre-back, Alkmaar, €900,000), Wildmeit (centre-back, Emmen, freedom), Rabilad (centre-forward, Ligue 1), Droster (full-back, Icelandic Super League), Henriques (centre-back, Campble, freedom)
After 4 years in the Dutch Second Division, the Forward Eagle finally returned to the Dutch First Division with the second place, and the coach Wandren was previously the assistant coach of the Dutch national team Koeman, and the team was promoted successfully in one year. However, the difficulties facing Wandren in the new season are obvious, the three main players of the team's backline have been dismantled, goalkeeper Gottell, two main centre-backs Beckma and Wildmayette have left the team together; in addition, the two main scorers in the forward line, Rabi Rad and Henriques, have also left together, and the team's defense and center position have all to be replaced.
Although the team has transferred a large number of players, and it seems that they all have some experience in high-level leagues. But there will still be a big difference from the Dutch Second Division to the Dutch First Division, and how the team can quickly get rid of the problem of the run-in period is also a big difficulty. In the new season, the Forward Hawks will be a favourite team for relegation alongside Campble.
