Chapter 558 - 382: Dominating 5 Consecutive Wins! Tang Long Drives the Entire Team’s Value Soaring! Leading the Assist Rankings!_2

At least, reach the same heights as Agüero!

...

Manchester City’s five-game winning streak is pointing directly at the Premier League title, unstoppable, charging forward fiercely!

Tang Long’s performance has been crucial.

Not only did he win the Premier League Player of the Month in January, but he is very likely to retain the title in February.

If this achievement is realized, he will become the first player in Manchester City’s history to win the Premier League Player of the Month consecutively.

The official website of "German Transfer Market" has updated the latest global player valuations.

Tang Long’s valuation has skyrocketed!

From 40 million euros, it directly doubled to 80 million euros, only behind Messi (120 million), C Luo (100 million), Neymar (100 million), Icardi (95 million), Griezmann (90 million), and Hazard (90 million), firmly sitting as the seventh player in world football, tied with Real Madrid forward Bell.

Among the top ten players, many have been famous for a long time, fought in the football world for years, and achieved numerous collective and personal honors;

Even the young Icardi is already 22 years old.

Only Tang Long, under 20, has made it into the top ten of Transfermarkt Value, a singular case in the history of Transfermarkt’s player valuation assessments!

Transfermarkt’s China region administrator Zhu Yi specially wrote a ten-thousand-word long article on his social media, delving deep into the reasons behind Tang Long’s valuation increase, and suggested that this rise objectively drove the value of other Manchester City player valuations up.

"It’s not surprising for a player’s valuation to rise, but for one person to drive the entire team’s value up is indeed rare!"

"Manchester City’s total valuation increased from the season’s start at 800 million euros to 1 billion, rising more than 20%, becoming the first Premier League Club to cross the 1 billion mark, only behind Real Madrid and Barça, ranked third in the world football scene."

Zhu Yi specifically pointed out several players, focusing on analyzing their valuation increase and relation to Tang Long.

First is Agüero.

"When Agüero transferred from Atletico Madrid to Manchester City in 2011, his Transfermarkt Value was 35 million euros, thereafter it grew steadily, reaching 65 million euros after securing the Premier League Golden Boot last season."

"During this season, when Agüero was injured and missed nearly two months, his value fell to 55 million euros, and there were doubts about his future."

"But after his comeback, Agüero’s form was heroic, scoring 13 goals across 9 matches in the Premier League, FA Cup, and League Cup, surpassing his total goals before his injury!"

"His value quickly rebounded, jumping from 55 million directly to 70 million, entering the top ten player valuations for the first time!"

"Why is his form so heroic? The data speaks for itself: Of these 13, 7 goals came from Tang Long’s assists, accounting for more than half!"

Now, about Bony.

"After last season, Bony almost got kicked out of Manchester City."

"Struggling to integrate into the team, his valuation fell from the initial 25 million when joining Manchester City to 15 million at the start of this season."

"But in just half a year, Bony’s valuation rose back to 25 million!"

"I’ve been watching this player for a long time. I previously mentioned, he is a sleeping lion, and Tang Long is the one who awakened this Côte d’Ivoire African lion."

"The data shows that Bony, having only half the starting time this season, scored 15 league goals, nearly surpassing his peak Swansea season of 17 goals in 2013-2014, which is almost inevitable."

"I believe that even if Manchester City doesn’t win a single championship by season’s end, given these goal counts alone, Bony’s valuation is guaranteed to rise above 30 million, 35 million is not unreasonable!"

Then, he mentioned Ranocchia.

"Since Ranocchia joined Manchester City from Inter, his valuation made slight adjustments, rising from 20 million euros to 25 million, exploding to 40 million euros after half a season!"

"He became Manchester City’s highest-valued defender and ranks among the top three looking across the Premier League."

"You might find it strange how a center-back’s valuation increase relates to Tang Long, a central attacking midfielder."

"Let the data speak for us again!"

"As a ball-playing center-back, Ranocchia averages 90 passes per game, most being sideways and backward passes, with forward passes averaging 29 times, less than one-third."

"But among these 29 times, 15 passes, over half, are to Tang Long!"

"Further data indicates that once Ranocchia and Tang Long connect, tracking the subsequent development shows there’s a 51.54% chance of the ball entering the opponent’s final third."

"This means if Ranocchia can directly transfer the ball from the backfield to Tang Long’s feet, Manchester City then has more than half the chance of pressuring near the opponent’s penalty area."

Zhu Yi further analyzed the valuation changes of Kolarov, Bony, Delph, and others, and their relationship with Tang Long.

The final conclusion drawn was:

Currently, Tang Long is the leader of Manchester City, carrying the team forward, fiercely sprinting on the road to the championship!

...

Icardi, filled with excitement, opened up his social media.

The latest Transfermarkt Valuation update was released.

He couldn’t wait to see if his valuation crossed the billion mark.

If it did, he would become the second Argentine player after Messi to have a valuation over a billion!

"Ah, only 95 million, are they kidding, looking down on someone?"

Seeing only 95 million, Icardi cursed at his phone.

What kind of lousy data, so unprofessional.

"What, Neymar is still ahead of me!?"

Icardi was simply exploding with anger.

If saying his value doesn’t match Messi’s and C Luo’s, he could barely accept it;

But claiming he’s lesser than Neymar, he refused!

Neymar at Barça is just playing second fiddle, with fewer goals than Messi, even Suarez surpasses him.

And for me?

I am the star of Manchester United, just my transfer fee has exceeded a billion, I’m holding up Manchester United’s forward line alone!

I was Serie A’s Golden Boot last season, scoring 21 league goals this season, first in the Premier League, how many goals did Neymar score?

Icardi believes, if you were to make a comparison.

His contribution to Manchester United is equal to Messi, Suarez, and Neymar combined for Barça!

Even his wife Wanda was indignant!

"Really absurd, darling, you’re totally the third in football only behind Messi and C Luo, this valuation ranking is too unreasonable, let’s go curse at Transfermarkt together!"

"Exactly, whose pig-headed assessment is this? Curse them to death!"

Thus, the couple promptly clicked into Transfermarkt’s social account, privately messaging curses.

[Your lousy organization is completely non-authentic, do you guys ever watch football?]

[How on earth am I lower than Neymar!]

[Are your evaluators temp workers?]

[Hurry up and adjust my husband’s valuation to over a billion!]

[This ranking is an outright smear on Mauro’s personal image, if unaddressed, I’ll send you a legal notice!]

An hour later.

Transfermarkt replied.

But it was just reposting a social post, forwarding Icardi and Wanda’s private messages screenshot, with only three "???" in the text.

Another hour later, this post’s likes exceeded a million!

Netizens delightedly ate the drama, leaving comments below.

"You compare nonsense with Neymar, the man can dribble, pass, and shoot, a versatile forward, you just linger in the box for easy goals!"

"Mauro, have some dignity, in the last two matches De Bruyne didn’t pass to you, did you see what you’re playing? Crap!"

"De Bruyne is truly wronged, at only 58 million euros, should be at least 70 million, among the top ten!"

"I’m dying of laughter, this is the first time I see a player privately messaging to curse Transfermarkt for being unsatisfied with his valuation."

"Key is, his wife joins him in cursing, truly birds of a feather flock together!"

"These two are probably fools, are they trying to create show effects?"

"Tang Long is only 80 million, Icardi is 95 million and still unsatisfied? If it weren’t for the forward advantage, this type who can only score from close up wouldn’t crack the top ten valuation list!"
