Reporter Chen Yong reported that the 2021 season is the 5th year of the implementation of the U23 policy, and with the continuous improvement of relevant rules, the current U23 policy has been generally recognized.
In the 2021 season, a total of 169 U23 players in the Chinese Super League signed up to participate, up from 145 in the 2020 season, of which 7 clubs registered more than 10 U23 players. In terms of appearances, U23 players averaged 4.95 appearances per game and 286 minutes per game, which is a significant improvement from the 2020 season (4.67 appearances, 281 minutes per game) and the 2019 season (4.52 appearances per game, 228 minutes). U23 players averaged 0.25 goals per game, up from 0.21 in 2020 and 0.20 in 2019.
It should be said that the U23 policy for the cultivation of young players is still relatively obvious, of course, the 2021 season a large number of foreign aid departures have also given young people more opportunities, in the latest national team, Yan Dinghao, Guo Tianyu, Han Jiaqi, Wu Shaocong, Zhu Chenjie, Jiang Shenglong, Gao Tianyi, Liu Ruovan and other U23 players in the 2021 season have also been selected for the national team.

In summary, the number of players who appeared after 00 in the 2021 season of the Chinese Super League reached 63 people, scoring 26 goals.
Goalkeeper: Ci Henglong / Xue Qinghao
Although Han Jiaqi, born in 1999, has been selected for the national team, the 00 goalkeeper is still difficult to find opportunities in the Chinese Super League, and in the 2021 season, Changchun Yatai's CiHenglong and Shanghai Shenhua's Xue Qinghao have both been given a chance to start, more like the nature of "care", so in this position, the two players can choose one.
Defenders: Wu Shaocong, Jiang Shenglong, Zhu Chenjie
This is also the top three national feet after 00, I have to say that this batch of post-00 players is very interesting, the past young players want to play in the national team, often the front court players are more likely to get the opportunity, after all, the coach from the perspective of stability, the use of young players is less risky, but this time, the national team has recruited 3 post-00s center-back internationals, I have to say that this group of 00 defenders is very powerful. Among them, Wu Shaocong is as tall as 1 meter 92, and Jiang Shenglong is as tall as 1 meter 93, and his air defense capability is unparalleled.
Back: Abra Khan, Wang Haijian
In the back position, Abra Khan in Shanghai Harbor and Wang Haijian in Shanghai Shenhua are impressive. Abra Khan is fierce in defense, has excellent steals ability, but also has a certain passing ability, the comprehensive quality is still very good, can become the core position of the championship team player, Abra Khan's ability is beyond doubt.
Wang Haijian is shenhua's biggest discovery of the 2021 season, he only began to usher in opportunities in the second stage, although not a career debut, but in fact this is the real first season of his career, last season only 2 substitute appearances played 34 minutes, in the 2021 season in 3 starts and 3 substitutes, he scored 3 goals. In the 19th round of the Chinese Super League, Shanghai Shenhua beat Qingdao 1-0, Wang Haijian ran a distance of 12165 meters, becoming the player who ran the most in the 19th round of the Chinese Super League, and then in the 21st round, Wang Haijian once again became the player with the most running distance in the Chinese Super League with 12061 meters. Running like this makes Shenhua fans full of joy, and perhaps, some goals, you ran to the right position.
Frontcourt: Zhou Junchen, Tan Kaiyuan, Liu Zhurun, Tao Qianglong
Zhou Junchen and Tao Qianglong have been famous for a long time, and the general view is that these two players will be players of the national team in the future, but the team they play for is too embarrassing, and both fell into the Chinese Super League Play-offs and eventually relegated.
Tan Kaiyuan and Liu Zhurun are newcomers who emerged in 2021. In fact, as early as the 2018 season, Cannavaro transferred the 17-year-old Tan Kaiyuan to the first team, which is enough to show his talent. Finally, he broke out in the 2021 season, and although he only played 10 games as a substitute for a total of 179 minutes, he scored 3 goals. As for Liu Zhurun, he is also a new discovery in Shanghai Harbor, and he has played as a striker many times in the 2021 season and has performed well.
Forward: Zhang Wei
Zhang Wei, a 1.86-meter-tall center, his biggest regret is that he has to make a cameo appearance in the position of center-back most of the time, otherwise his goal count will never stay on 2, in fact, just before scoring 2 goals in the 9th and 10th rounds, in the 8th round of Hebei and Wuhan, Zhang Wei played the position of center-back, and in the 12th round, he had to return to the position of center-back after scoring consecutive goals. So naturally we have this doubt: if he has been playing center forward, what will be the number of goals scored this season?
Post-00s 23-man roster players (11 players in addition to the Best Squad 12):
Zhang Yu, Chen Yuhao, Zhang Xiangshuo; Huang Jiahui, Wang Haoran; Fang Hao, Shi Yan, Han Dong, PerlManjiang, Zhang Hui, Ling Jie.
Chen Yuhao plays as a right-back, Zhang Xiangshuo plays as a left-back/left wing-back, and in addition, the central defender position is also Hebei's Zhang Yu in 2002, and he also scored a goal in the 2021 season.
Huang Jiahui and Wang Haoran played the back, they all have more playing time, and their performance is relatively stable. In the frontcourt, Fang Hao, Shi Yan, Han Dong, Perlman Jiang, Zhang Hui, and Ling Jie all have good abilities and have their own characteristics.
