After zhao zhen revealed that Shandong Taishan red star Guo Tianyu was about to land in the European League, on the evening of January 26, Beijing time, the well-known media person Bai Guohua also confirmed that Guo Tianyu was indeed going to stay in Europe, and he would join the Portuguese Premier League team.
The 22-year-old Guo Tianyu has contributed 10 goals and 2 assists to 23 appearances for Taishan in all competitions this season, and he has also helped Shandong Taishan achieve the great cause of "double champion". Up to now, Guo Tianyu has not played in international competitions for the national football team. Previously, Guo Tianyu was selected for the 52-man primary list of the Chinese men's football team. However, because the player was about to stay in the Ocean and play in the European League, the national team did not let Guo Tianyu go to Japan with the team.
As one of the mainstream leagues in Europe, the Portuguese Super League is not one of the traditional five major leagues in Europe, but it is also one of the leagues of European powers. The three giants Benfica, Sport of Portugal and Porto have all produced a number of world-class superstars. Therefore, if Guo Tianyu can go to the Portuguese Super League to exercise, it will definitely be good for his future improvement.
In addition to Guo Tianyu, 18-year-old rising star Jia Boyan, who plays for Shanghai Harbor, will also stay in the European League, and he will join the Swiss league team Grasshoppers and become teammates with Li Lei, the big brother of the national football team.
Born on 30 November 2003, Jia Boyan played as a striker, and in 2020 he was selected for the first team of the Season's Chinese Super League at the age of 17. He was also named to the Guardian's list of the 60 most talented players born in the world in 2003. Although Jia Boyan may not be able to play in the Swiss league immediately in the short term, he can train in the high-level league in Europe, and for the 18-year-old, it is believed that he can also achieve rapid improvement.
