As we all know, the ten-year-long Golden Yuan era of Chinese football has come to an end. One is that the Football Association has carried out a comprehensive salary limit and investment limit, and the second is that the downturn in the real estate industry has led to a shortage of funds for most clubs, and even a large area of wage arrears. So our club can no longer improve the momentum by hoarding big-name foreign players and internationals, so we can only fight for the thickness of the bench and young players. This is also why Shandong Taishan team can win the championship 3 rounds in advance very strongly this season, because they have insisted on youth training for many years, and have cultivated a large number of talents, increasing the thickness of the bench, and at the same time, they have a huge advantage in the current Chinese Super League. Because the storm of other people's youth is burst after burst, and they want to scrape.
However, for the entire Chinese football, only one Shandong Taishan team is far from enough, more teams need to blow up the storm of youth, Chinese football can be truly promising. In addition to the Shandong Taishan team, which has ridden the dust this season, there are indeed some young players from some teams that have begun to rise, such as Guangzhou and Dalian, and the excellent young players they hoarded in the early days are currently growing and rising rapidly. However, to our surprise, there is another Chinese Super League giants, they do not hoard a large number of excellent young players, their youth training does not seem to be very brilliant, but this season has also begun to produce talents, this team is the Shanghai Harbor team that won the championship in the 2018 season.
Everyone knows that Shanghai Harbor is definitely a quasi-representative of the Giants of the Golden Age, their foreign aid is tens of millions of levels, the core Oscar of the midfield even exceeds 50 million euros, and in terms of local players, Harbor is dominated by several batches of excellent players trained in the early days under the guidance of Xu Genbao. But with the gradual departure of foreign aid, the original group of main local players into the 30 years old, can the harbor still be in the first echelon of the Chinese Super League? It is a question for many fans.
However, after the end of the latest game, everyone no longer doubted, because the youth storm belonging to the harbor also began. In the 19th round of the second stage of the Chinese Super League, Shanghai Harbor played against another local tycoon, Shenzhen. As a result, just 8 minutes into the opening, the young players of the harbor flashed. At that time, 24-year-old full-back Li Shenyuan then broke through to the right side of the penalty area at high speed on the right side and then chose to cross the high ball to the goal, when the 20-year-old Liu Zhurun ghostly interspersed between the two defenders, and then directly headed the ball to the top of the goal to help Shanghai Harbor open the record. It is worth noting that this ball is the first goal of the 20-year-old's Chinese Super League, and this ball is very exciting.
In fact, The harbor is still very bold to use Liu Zhurun, his career debut is in the 2020 AFC Champions League against the giants Jeonbuk Hyundai, and in that game, Liu Zhurun was very active as a center forward, and almost scored a header. This season, Liu Zhurun also got more opportunities to play. Especially in the FA Cup, he also scored 3 goals and 1 assist in 5 starts, which was quite eye-catching. In this round of the league, he also got the starting opportunity, and scored a goal in 8 minutes, winning his first goal of his Career in the Chinese Super League. So far, Liu Zhurun's stats are 4 goals in 5 starts in 12 games, which is already quite good for a 20-year-old player.
It can be seen that after the departure of the big-name foreign aid, the youngster of the harbor also began to grow rapidly after getting more opportunities to play, and even began to shine. For example, Liu Zhurun, it can be seen that after many games, he has begun to adapt to the rhythm, and his ability to insert the running position and grab points in front has also been greatly improved. It can be said that in the future, Liu Zhurun is definitely an important figure in the team's forward position, and may even become an important option for the national football team. This is actually the change in Chinese football after the ebb tide of the Golden Yuan, our local players have regained the opportunity, they have the opportunity to improve, they can improve Chinese football to progress. So now we can really expect more Liu Zhurun to appear, because we already have this condition in the league.
