The epidemic in Europe has not stopped. In the field of football media, which is lackluster due to the suspension of the game, the free and loose style of a star has made him a "national enemy" of the whole of Serbia and attracted the attention of a large number of fans - he is Real Madrid player Luka Jovic.
Serbian player Luka Jovic.
Two days ago, in the case of a player diagnosed by the Real Madrid basketball team, Jovic, who was supposed to be in home isolation, returned to his home country of Serbia on the grounds that "his son's health was in trouble". After returning to China, the football "covenant teacher" even openly went out shopping, completely ignoring the quarantine regulations.
In this regard, Serbian Prime Minister BrnaBić also publicly criticized it:
"Our football stars are supposed to be leading the way. But now, with an annual salary of millions, they have completely ignored the requirement of home isolation. ”
And Serbian President Vucic said directly and harshly:
"If Jovic goes out again, we'll arrest him."
Off-field has become the target of the majority of compatriots, and after the summer window to transfer to Real Madrid at a sky-high price, Jovic's performance on the field this season can also be described as "in prison". According to the media, real Madrid executives, who have always attached importance to brand image, may even send this "Mr. Sixty Million" to other teams.
Jovic's current situation – and it's really embarrassing.
From the youngest single-game five-goal in the Bundesliga, to the hottest supernova in Europe, to now becoming the "public enemy of the whole nation" of the whole country, and may even be abandoned by the current owner - Jovic's current situation is really a pity.
Jovic was born on 23 December 1997 in Bijergina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a height of 182 cm and a weight of 85 kg. Playing as a centre forward, he debuted in the youth system of the Serbian domestic team Belgrade Red Star and worked in Apollo Limassol and Benfica.
Jovic debuted in the youth system of Red Star Belgrade.
In the summer window of 2017, the Portuguese Super League giants sent them on loan to Eintracht Frankfurt for two seasons. In his first year on loan, Jovic scored nine goals and assisted twice for the team with just 11 starts. As everyone knows, he has shown his sharp edge at the beginning of this season, and he has ushered in a complete outbreak in the 18-19 season.
The following year, Jovic, who was firmly in the main position, handed over a stunning record of "27 goals + 6 assists" after 50 appearances (38 starts), and was promoted to the hottest super scorer in Europe.
Last season, "About Teacher" shined in Frankfurt.
Not only that, in last season's Bundesliga round 8 round of Frankfurt's 7-1 sweep over Düsseldorf, the Serbian star staged a miracle of a unique five-dollar victory. At that time, he was only 20 years old and 300 days old, and he also became the youngest "Mr. Five-Baller" in the Bundesliga, and the first player in Eintracht Frankfurt's history to win five yuan in a single game.
In the 26th minute of the game, Jovic received a cross from the left of his teammate Kostic in the middle of the road, and then he made a difficult sideways volley - showing his flexibility and precision to the fullest.
A sideways volley is domineering.
Not only that, he, together with Alai and Rebic, formed the "Frankfurt Trident". Last season, the trio scored a staggering 41 goals in the Bundesliga, while Eintracht Frankfurt even scored 60 goals. If you only look at the percentage of goals scored by the whole team, the trio is already the most feared trident in Europe.
The only fly in the ointment was that in the Bundesliga and Europa League competition for the Golden Boot, Jovic lost to Levan (22 goals) and Olivier Giroud (11 goals) by 5 and 1 goals respectively, and finally had to take away a bronze boot and a silver boot.
Only in the competition for the Golden Boot, Jovic left regrets.
And although the "Frankfurt Trident" quickly collapsed after the summer window opened, Jovic's old club made a net profit of 41 million euros from his transfer (and was also sucked out of 20% of the "oil and water" by Benfica) by buying out and then reselling. The €60 million transfer fee has also made the Serbian supernova the 7th most expensive star in Real Madrid's history.
Not only that, in order to gain the upper hand in the battle with their sworn enemy Barca, the "Galaxy Battleship" has offered him a sky-high weekly salary of up to 400,000 euros - such a salary is even second only to Hazard with 600,000 euros and Bale with 537,000 euros in the team.
In the summer window last year, Jovic joined Real Madrid at a sky-high price.
Despite this, after coming to Real Madrid, Jovic's state was immediately hit by "Waterloo".
As early as the pre-season 3-7 defeat to Atletico's friendly, Jovic accidentally sprained his ankle and had to disrupt the training plan arranged for him by the club.
After the official game, Zidane also seems to prefer to trust the old Benzema in the choice of center position , Jovic most of the time can only play as a substitute in the game.
Zidane seems more willing to trust Benzema, 33.
According to statistics, although he has gained a lot of game time in the Western Super Cup and the Copa del Rey, in all 34 La Liga (27) and Champions League (7) matches that Real Madrid has participated in this season, Jovic has only made 19 appearances for the team, and the average appearance time per game is only a pitiful 26.4 minutes, not to mention a shabby report card with only "2 goals + 1 assist".
Compared to a sky-high weekly salary contract he signed with the club before the season for up to 400,000 euros – such a figure is naturally ironic.
The reason is that despite Jovic's amazing strength, he is not a pile-type center with a strong back-to-back and ball-making attributes. The characteristic of "About Teacher" is that he has a precise kick in the door after running, and good physical conditions often give him an advantage in competing for a header.
In fact, Jovic is not a stake-type center.
So whether it's Eintracht Frankfurt before or Real Madrid now, his position on the team should be a shadow striker – he needs to be paired with a big centre forward. In the current Real Madrid squad, there is obviously no player who can provide such a standing role.
In fact, even in Frankfurt, Jovic's state was not stable. In the last 11 Bundesliga games last season, the Serbian supernova even scored just two goals. Under his weak play, the Bundesliga powerhouse was also bloodbathed in the league by Bosch Bayer Leverkusen and bayern led by "predecessor" Kovac to score 1-6 and 1-5.
Coincidentally, it was the time when the team's 190cm big center Alai was suspended due to an abdominal strain.
"Teacher Yo" in Frankfurt's aide- Alai.
In fact, as early as last summer's training camp, there were rumors that in view of the dissatisfaction with Jovic's training performance, Zidane may even send the 60 million mr. directly to other teams.
This rumor, which sounded ridiculous at the time, is now making the majority of Real Madrid fans cry and laugh even more...
Zidane's dissatisfaction with Jovic seems to have a long history.
Considering Real Madrid's tradition of attaching great importance to brand image, whether it is the previous "strike" incident during the national team training, or the contempt for the segregation regulations this time - the Serbian supernova has undoubtedly pushed his Real Madrid career to the precipice again.
In fact, in the author's opinion, looking at the world football world, how many football superstars have not experienced the frivolous moments of youth? For clubs, the key is how to correct and monitor their behaviour to lead them on the right path.
In fact, in terms of Real Madrid's reinforcements in recent years, there are only a few young players who can do plug and play . Examples such as Ceballos and Ilya Lamendi are equally numerous.
And let's take our thoughts back to the second half of last season: Piatek and Joao Felix, who were called the three "hot fried chickens" in the summer window a year ago, who can say that their performance this season is impeccable?
Last summer's champion, João Felix.
Therefore, perhaps the "Galaxy Battleship" may wish to buy a big center in this summer window first. Pairing him with Jovic will determine the future of the supernova.
