On January 26, Beijing time, reporters Zhao Zhen and Bai Guohua broke the heavy news that Guo Tianyu, the 22-year-old rising star of the Taishan team, is about to stay in The Ocean and is likely to join a Portuguese Premier League team.
Guo Tianyu had previously missed the training preparation of the national football team, and therefore did not have the opportunity to play against Japan and Vietnam, when the media broke out that the reason was that Guo Tianyu had an affair at home. On the evening of the 26th, reporter Zhao Zhen broke the news on his personal social platform, he wrote: Don't you all ask Guo Tianyu why he didn't go to Japan! Because he's going to Europe!
For Chinese football, this is undoubtedly a heavy news, born in 1999 Guo Tianyu is 22 years old this year, last season as a U23 player of the Taishan team, Guo Tianyu maintained full attendance in the league, scored 10 goals and 2 assists, won the Chinese Super League local top scorer king, tied with Fellaini to become the team's top scorer, is one of the important heroes of Taishan team to win the double, Guo Tianyu successfully selected as a candidate for the Chinese Golden Globe Award.
Guo Tianyu's physical fitness is outstanding, even if he looks at the entire Chinese Super League, he is one of the best, and many foreign aides and teammates think that his strength is very good even in Europe when evaluating Guo Tianyu. Although there are still some deficiencies in small skills and the ability to handle details such as holding the ball on the back, for the 22-year-old Guo Tianyu, this is already valuable. If there is a chance to stay abroad at this age, it is a great opportunity for him to improve himself.
Then another reporter, Bai Guohua, broke out that Guo Tianyu was likely to join a Portuguese Premier League team, but did not disclose which team. As we all know, the overall level of the Portuguese Premier League is very high, the overall level is second only to the five major leagues in Europe, such as Porto, Benfica, Portugal Sports, etc. are regulars in the Champions League and maintain a very strong competitiveness. If Guo Tianyu can join a Portuguese Premier League team, it is good news for him.
Of course, if Guo Tianyu finally stays in Yangyang, Taishan's U23 player reserve will encounter a certain test, and Liu Yu and Tian Xin will no longer be U23 players next season, and Taishan must continue to dig up potential from within.
At present, there are only two Chinese players in Europe, Wu Lei and Li Lei, of which Wu Lei plays for Espanyol in La Liga and Li Lei plays for grasshoppers in Switzerland, and the number is still slightly insufficient.
In addition, according to a Shanghai reporter, Jia Boyan, a 19-year-old rising star in the harbor, will also join the Grasshoppers and become teammates with Li Lei. In the future, China's team of foreign players is likely to increase.
