Martin Erdegaard, as the youngest player to play in the European Championship, was quickly dubbed "prodigy" and "new Guti". Therefore, Martin Erdegaard has attracted the attention of many giant teams, and has tried out for Liverpool, Bayern Munich and other teams. In January 2015, Real Madrid successfully signed Martin Erdegaard, and although the transfer fee was only 3 million euros, it was reported that his salary level was similar to that of Isco. Many people think that Real Madrid will be the "wronged head" in the transfer market.
Indeed, in the early days of joining, it lacked stable playing time and outstanding performance, and its value was criticized. In view of this, Real Madrid loaned Martin Erdegaard to the Dutch League in January 2017, playing for Heerenveen and Vitesse in search of stable play opportunities. Perhaps because of leaving the mainstream league, the discussion and attention of Martin Erdegaard have diminished, as if to confirm Martin Erdegaard's title of "hours" and "name is greater than reality".
Martin Erdegaard's performance in the Dutch First Division can be described as a steady upward trend, step by step to stand firm, and the statistics in goals and assists continue to improve. As a result, Real Madrid believes that it can give him a greater challenge to become familiar with La Liga and even pave the way for a future return to Real Madrid In the 19/20 season, Martin Erdegaard joined Real Sociedad on loan.
Martin Erdegaard scored his first La Liga goal in the second round of La Liga and then again against Atletico Madrid, making Martin Erdegaard the Player of the Month in La Liga. At that time, many Real Madrid fans shouted and looked forward to it. The most complicated battle for Real Madrid fans must be the Copa del Rey Quarterfinals, as the Spanish Football Association allowed loan players to turn against the mother team, Martin Erdegaard led Real Sociedad to eliminate Real Madrid with a goal and a superior performance, and finally reached the final. Unfortunately, due to the epidemic, the Copa del Rey competition has been postponed repeatedly, so that Martin Erdegaard was unable to participate in the Copa del Rey final before leaving.
The above-mentioned epidemic not only affected the Copa del Rey, but also affected the financial situation of many teams, so that real Madrid, which had a lot of money in the past, had to manage their finances prudently, and under the premise of not being able to reinforce, a number of loan players became the target of Real Madrid coach Zidane, in addition to the loan recovery of Andre Lunin, Alvaro Odriozola, but also including the protagonist Martin Erdegaard in the text.
Since the other two only serve as substitutes for Thibault Thibault and Daniel Carvajal, but the Real Madrid "kcm combination" is already old, Martin Erdegaard has become the most anticipated "new signing". At the beginning of the season, Martin Erdegaard still has a chance to be selected consecutively. But first, due to injury reasons, secondly, Zidane did not let him integrate into the main squad of the 433 midfield system, when Martin Erdegao was selected to play, Zidane was more willing to discharge the 4231 or 442 formation to meet the enemy, in one of the low tide periods of real Madrid this season, the injured camp, the Champions League is facing out, La Liga points are lost, under the pressure of Zidane's coaching position, Zidane can only trust the 433 formation that helped him win the Champions League and the golden midfield combination composed of Casemiro, Toni Kroos and Modric. Coupled with the competition between Isco and Federico Valverde, Martin Erdegaard was in a situation of sitting on the cold bench in consecutive games. In the first half of Real Madrid's season, Martin Erdegaard had only nine playing chances in all competitions, five of which were selected, with a total of only 367 minutes.
At present, Martin Erdegaard has once again embarked on a loan journey to become the main player of premier League team Arsenal, Martin Erdegaard expressed satisfaction with everything at Arsenal, Arteta would like to officially sign the Norwegian midfielder, but Arsenal's achievements in recent years have been repeated, and it is doubtful whether it can attract stars to join. Real Madrid, in the face of the aging of the midfield, must not want to give up a talented player who has invested for many years, and even label it and three other young players as "non-selling", so Martin Erdegaard's prospects at Real Madrid are still optimistic, and Real Madrid certainly do not want to experience Martin Erdegaard shining at the Bernabeu in another team jersey again.
