At the age of ten, German top division side, Bayern Leverkusen signed ten years old Kai Harvetz for an unknown fee. Harvetz gradually grew into the youth system until he made his debut six years afterward. He scored his first goal the following year until he became a first team starter. He did not achieve this overnight. It took years to integrate into the team and a series of substitute appearances. All of a sudden, Chelsea tabled a huge amount of money for his signature. Sure, he had excelled at his previous club. Such success came after over five years at the club. Moreover, Bayern Leverkusen is not as prestigious as Chelsea. The six feet versatile player does not believe that he is really worth that amount. He has an ego that is small for his club. It is like he is putting on an oversized coat. He feels like a misfit. His nervousness was glaring in his first match. He approached his first game with panic. The most expensive player in a team is unable to play with authority and command the respect of other players. His body language signalled one in trouble. The media and fans expects him to justify every penny spent on him. This expectation adds more pressure to the cerebral player. Hervatz believes he is incapable of surviving on the height he has somehow scaled. In his heart, he feels he does not deserve to be playing for the club at least for now. The fate of rising too far in a short period of time is a calamity for him.He fears he would fall from the height he does not deserve. This is called Acrophobia To remedy this situation, Frank Lampard has to demote him to the youth team for a few months and feature him during the Carabao cup. Harvetz needs to go down first He needs to play alongside lower quality” teammates. This would make him feel superior and boost his self-confidence. Gradually, Frank Lampard should introduce him to the senior squad as a fringe member of the team making a substitute appearance. He can only feature regularly from next season. Harvetz needs to grow in the team. It would sound absurd to buy a player for such a high amount of money without playing him. Doing so could incur the wrath of the manager. This is Frank Lampard's major transfer lesson. Next time, he would think twice before signing a player for such a high amount. A Psychologist ought to be part of the medical team to examine the mindset of intending players for phobia and advise the club to either call of the deal or proceed. Hervatz case is an eye-opener to clubs who use financial muscle to purchase any player of their choice to trade with caution.
