On the morning of January 27, Beijing time, Shandong Taishan officially announced that Guo Tianyu, a 23-year-old young shooter and rising star of the national football team, officially joined the Portuguese Premier League team Vizzella on loan for about half a season. Guo Tianyu thus became the third active international player to go abroad after Wu Lei and Li Lei.
Last season, Guo Tianyu grew rapidly in Taishan, Shandong, scoring 10 Goals in the Chinese Super League, tied with Zhang Yuning as the local top scorer king, and helping Shandong Taishan win the "double champion". As a center forward, Guo Tianyu has a strong body rare among domestic players, and is still improving, whether in terms of age or status, now is a relatively good time for Guo Tianyu to stay in the ocean.
However, this time Guo Tianyu joined Vizzella, the most noteworthy thing is that the "Chinese Football Team" platform under the Chinese Football Association also cooperated with Shandong Taishan Club to make an official announcement to Guo Tianyu Liuyang. You know, this is the first time in history that the official platform of the Football Association has announced the transfer notice of players with the club, and even if Wu Lei joined the Spaniard before, he did not enjoy such a "high-standard" treatment.
The reason why the Football Association attaches so much importance to Guo Tianyu is because the preparation and operation of this stay in the Ocean is inseparable from the strong support of the Football Association. Since last year, the Football Association has launched a plan to promote local players to stay in the west, with the aim of allowing more young players with specific domestic first-line strength to go abroad. From the beginning of this plan to the present, Guo Tianyu is undoubtedly the biggest "achievement".
It is understood that the Football Association's foreign support plan covers many aspects, from contacting the right team for players, to collecting local connections, looking for sponsors, and persuading players to "let them go" at their clubs.
In a sense, this "Chinese football team" cooperated with Shandong Taishan to inform Guo Tianyu to stay in the ocean, which is actually a concentrated display of the results of the official plan to stay in the west; it can also be interpreted as a kind of gratitude and affirmation of the Football Association for shandong Taishan and Guo Tianyu to cooperate with the plan, and also set a model for other clubs and players of the right age to stay in the country.
Therefore, the purpose of the Football Association is not just to let a Guo Tianyu go out. It is foreseeable that Guo Tianyu Liuyang is just the beginning, and there will definitely be more local first-line players in Europe in the future to find opportunities to stay in The Yang, such as Zhang Yuning, Duan Liuyu and other players, are all "candidates" for the Fa Association to prepare or have begun to operate. Let more local players stand on the high-level stage and create a real foreign legion, which is the biggest ambition of Chinese football.
