On the afternoon of January 12, the second leg of the Chinese Super League play-offs kicked off, Zhejiang drew 0-0 with Qingdao, defeated the opponent 1-0 in two legs, and returned to the Chinese Super League after 5 years. In this game, Yao Junsheng, a mid-level superstar from Luneng Youth Training, did not play, but like the players on the field, he was also one of the heroes of Zhejiang's success in rushing to the top.
Before the start of the season, Yao Junsheng permanently transferred from Shandong Taishan to Zhejiang for 20 million yuan, officially becoming a member of this hometown team. In 29 games in the Chinese League A, Yao Junsheng scored 4 goals in 21 starts and provided 5 assists, which is second only to Captain Cheng Jin, who scored 3 goals and 8 assists in 34 games among Zhejiang's local midfielders. It is worth mentioning that Zhejiang's Spanish coach Jody does not appreciate Yao Junsheng's technical style very much, he prefers to use Cheng Jin and Gu Bin to play in the middle of the midfield, Yao Junsheng appears more in the full-back position, in this case, Xiao Yao still has the data of 9 goals, which is not easy.
As the midfield core of luneng's youth training 95 echelon, Yao Junsheng has been bumpy all the way, counting last season's loan to Zhejiang team, he was loaned by Taishan team a total of 3 times, and has left his footprints in Meizhou Hakka and Tianjin Tianhai. However, in the Taishan team, he has not been able to stand firm due to technical characteristics, so in this case, Yao Junsheng finally made a formal decision to leave the team, and the Taishan team did not set any obstacles to the international midfielder produced by his own youth training.
After zhejiang team rushed to the super, Yao Junsheng's situation should also be much better than now, because one of his two rivals, captain Cheng Jin, has no experience in the Chinese Super League, and Gu Bin has only played 4 games for Shenhua in the distant 2012 season. Both of them are very inexperienced in the Chinese Super League, although they are mighty in the Chinese First Division, but it may not be easy to get the Chinese Super League.
In contrast, Yao Junsheng, although he has not been able to gain a firm foothold in the Taishan team, he has performed well in the year he joined Tianjin Tianhai on loan in the 2019 season, becoming the core of the team's midfield and relegation hero, and successfully impressing Lippi to be selected for the national football team to participate in the World Preliminary Round of 40 in Asia. His rich experience in the Chinese Super League will give him a head start in the competition with the other two.
In fact, Yao Junsheng is not the only Luneng youth midfielder who leads the team to overtake. In the season' direct overtaking of the successful Chinese League One champions, Wuhan Sanzhen and Meizhou Hakka, they also have core midfielders from Luneng's youth training, they are 28-year-old Rosenwen and 27-year-old Cui Wei.
Rosenwen joined Wuhan Sanzhen on loan from Hebei this season, and in 32 games in the Chinese League A, he scored 8 goals and assisted 1 time, which is second only to Sang Yifei in the Wuhan midfielders in 29 games with 7 goals and 5 assists, which is one of the biggest contributors to the team's success.
As an outstanding work of Luneng's youth training in the 93 age group, Rosenwen led the Luneng youth team to the final four in the 2012 Weifang Cup competition, and he himself scored five goals to win the Golden Boot. In the same year, Luneng blew up the youth storm, and Rosenwen also upgraded the first team, but due to the presence of powerful players such as Anttar, Simang and Zhou Haibin in the back position, the young Rosenven did not find his place. During the second transfer in the 2014 season, he was loaned to Chengdu Tiancheng in the Chinese First Division, and then permanently transferred to Hebei Huaxia Happiness, and rushed to the Chinese Super League with the team in the 2016 season. And this time to help the three towns of Wuhan rush to overtake, it is already The second experience of Rosenwen.
At 1.88 meters tall, RosenWen has a dashing style of play, attacking and defending in midfield, and a long-range shot is his best play. However, in the Chinese Super League, there are very few teams that use local players as the main back, and it is not easy for Rosenwen to get a stable main position, in the 121 games played for Hebei, he scored 8 goals and sent 6 assists, so the data is very rare. Today, Rosenwen's loan contract with Wuhan Sanzhen has ended, but the self-absorbed Hebei team will basically not recall him, next, he is likely to continue to represent Wuhan Sanzhen in the Chinese Super League, 28-year-old, the future career is still long.
The 27-year-old Cui Wei is one year younger than RosenWen, he is also the first player in Shandong Luneng to enjoy the benefits of the U23 policy, and his excellent foot skills make the then Luneng coach Magath appreciate him very much, but Cui Wei did not prove his strength, and lost his opportunity after playing in the Chinese Super League for 7 games. At the end of the 2017 season, Cui Wei was loaned to Meizhou Hakka and officially joined after one season. In the past few seasons in the Chinese First Division, Cui Wei has gradually matured, this season, he has played 33 games for Meizhou Hakka, scoring 6 goals and contributing 4 assists, second only to Guo Yi, who has 8 goals and 5 assists in 32 games, among the midfielders, he is also one of the biggest contributors to the team's overtaking.
Of course, there are many Luneng youth players active in the professional leagues of the Chinese Super League, The Chinese First Division and the Chinese Second Division, and there are almost countless. As the largest player in domestic football youth training, Shandong Taishan has huge reserve resources, they can stand firm in the Taishan first team is not much, and for the remaining players, Taishan team are dutiful, or transfer or loan, give them a chance to prove themselves, Rosenwen, Yao Junsheng and Cui Wei are all left and broke out of their own piece of the sky. The Tarzan team's attitude of being responsible for its own players must be praised.
