Li Jinyu, one of the most seriously underrated strikers in the history of Chinese football

Chinese football failed to break through itself in the World Cup qualifiers, and many people are also angry, feeling very sorry and sad, why can't such a populous country produce an excellent football team? In fact, although the overall strength of Chinese football is not conspicuous in the world, there have been many excellent players in the history of Chinese football, who have attracted a lot of fans with their excellent skills. This article introduces you to a once very famous shooter, his name is Li Jinyu.

Li Jinyu's experience can be said to be very rich, he went to the football kingdom of Brazil in his early years to learn technology, and after returning from his studies, he played for a team in the Chinese Super League. Due to his excellent personal skills, he quickly became the top scorer in the team and created a statistic of one goal per game in the Chinese Super League. With his outstanding ability, Li Jinyu was also named the best scorer and also entered the top 100 in the world, known as "China's Inzaghi". At that time, in Chinese football and even in world football, the position of the forward was very important, and the competition above the forward was also very fierce, if you want to qualify, you must run faster than others, better than others. At that time, although Li Jinyu was very good, due to his lack of physical strength and speed, he still failed to enter the national team.

Unlike other striker players, Li Jinyu is better at playing with his brain, his grasp of opportunities on the field is textbook, and his shooting skills are also very skilled. It can be said that in that era of speed and explosion, Li Jinyu was welcomed by fans with his sense of smell and superb tactics. Compared with other players, Li Jinyu's height of 1.79 meters is really not conspicuous, and compared with other forward players, the speed and explosion of Big Yu are slightly inferior, but in him you can see a strong desire to score and win, and his fighting spirit makes up for his physical deficiencies.

And Li Jinyu's skills are also very skilled, whether it is shooting with his feet or heading the goal, he is very skilled. And because of the good degree of physical flexibility, Li Jinyu can complete various difficult shooting actions, such as hanging the golden hook upside down and volleying, etc., which can be said to be often seen in his career, and the diversity of his attack often makes the opposing goalkeeper feel headaches. In addition, his ability to grasp opportunities is also very good, and he can keenly observe the mistakes of the opposing players and the opportunities for his own attack.

Born in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, Da Yu is a typical northeasterner, the personality is very bold, Li Jinyu often played football with his father when he was a child, because he showed a good talent in his youth, Li Jinyu's father also decided to let him take the road of football career. When Da Yu was 16 years old, he was favored by Jianlibao's youth training team and officially became a professional football player, and later followed the team to Brazil to train. In the process, he has performed very well, scoring more than 100 goals in his 165 games, which has also made the coach pay attention to him. Because of his outstanding performance, Li Jinyu was also selected by the national team to play in the top ten competitions.

In 1998, he was favored by foreign teams and went abroad, but because the technology was still relatively immature, Li Jinyu's opportunities to play were still very few. In 1999, Li Jinyu decided to return to his homeland and returned to his old club Jianlibao team, in the first division, Li Jinyu was like a god, and helped the team win one victory after another with his outstanding performance. Just when his career was going well, an injury blocked his progress, and in 2000, due to injury troubles, The Big Yu only played 24 games and scored only five goals, which was obviously unacceptable to him.

After recovering from injuries, Li Jinyu also walked out of the trough of his life. 2002 was a year of strength for Lee Jinyu, who won the honor of top scorer of the year with his outstanding performance of 16 goals in 25 games. However, despite his excellent performance in the league, the national team coach does not seem to have a fancy for this young man, and he is also out of the World Cup in 2002.

Later, the 27-year-old Da Yu was traded to Shandong Luneng, and in the first season of joining the team, he helped the team win the championship with his outstanding performance. However, in the next two years, Li Jinyu was plagued by injuries again, and had to rest mainly to prepare for the next game.

After this, Li Jinyu was intermittently plagued by various injuries, and in the few games he played, his performance was not satisfactory, which also made him have the idea of retiring. On January 4, 2011, Li Jinyu announced his official retirement, ending his brilliant career. Throughout his career, Li Jinyu made 253 appearances in the First Division and the Chinese Super League, scoring 120 goals, becoming the top scorer in the Chinese Professional Football League. This record has not been broken by Wu Lei until the last two years, but this goal rate is very valuable in the Chinese professional football league that has not improved in the strength of foreign aid that year.

In general, Li Jinyu was the best striker in China at that time, in that era of physical strength and explosive power, Li Jinyu with his superb skills and grasp of the opportunity to play, let himself become a dazzling star, until now, I believe that there are many people who praise his superb shooting skills. From the Jianlibao team to the Luneng Taishan team, Li Jinyu has always maintained an excellent performance, although he was plagued by many injuries in the middle, but he proved his strength again and again with excellent performances.
