I believe that many fans know that there is a good thing happening in Chinese football recently, that is, the future of our national football front, the 22-year-old high school forward Guo Tianyu, who is as tall as 192, has stayed in the ocean. He is about to join Portuguese Premier League side Vizzella on loan, becoming another European international in recent years after Wu Lei and Li Lei. This is of great significance to Chinese football, because through this round of 12, we have thoroughly understood the importance of foreign players to a national team. The advantages shown by the Japanese and Australian teams in Almost all of Europe against the national football team have made us completely awakened and let us know that if our players do not go out, they will be completely out of touch with international football.
Therefore, Chinese football wants to rise and go out is the fastest and most effective way. Just like Japan and South Korea, let their players grow under the European youth training system, train in the European league, and create a batch of European level players. Then the national team summons them back and plays against Asian teams, and that kind of rhythmic, football-minded advantage makes it difficult for other opponents to overcome. The main reason for our decline over the years is that the Golden Dollar Era has made our players unable to move forward, and they all want to make a fortune at home, losing the motivation to fight and improve. The players are all at home, and the result is to build cars behind closed doors every day and enjoy health football. Over time, it has been disconnected from international football, and has even been surpassed by Asian second- and third-rate teams.
Of course, we have also seen Wu Lei's growth after staying in Yang, from being useless in the national team to supporting the heavy responsibility of scoring goals in the national team, so liuyang has great significance for the players themselves and even for the development of the national team. However, at the macro level, this is a positive promotion of the development of Chinese football, but for Chinese Super League clubs, letting go of their key players is undoubtedly self-weakening. For example, the Shanghai Harbor team, which lost Wu Lei, the entire offensive system was hit, and it did not slow down for several seasons and never won the championship again.
In the same way, Guo Tianyu's departure is the same for the Shandong Taishan team. It should be known that Guo Tianyu was previously regarded as a replacement for Pele. When Pele left the team, he played the role of a frontcourt fulcrum. After adapting to last season, he exploded this season, scoring 10 goals and 1 assist in 23 games, and has become the most stable reliance on the team's forward line. And Guo Tianyu is still a U23 player, if he leaves, Shandong Taishan team will have to find a suitable U23 player while looking for a replacement for Guo Tianyu. This is actually quite difficult.
So who will be Guo Tianyu's replacement? Many fans will think that Shandong Taishan will definitely introduce powerful foreign aid in this position, after all, local high school forwards are not easy to find, at least in the Chinese Super League. But in fact, under such an excellent youth training system of Shandong Taishan team, how can there be no high school forward training? Therefore, the Taishan team actually took out its own high school forward reserves to alleviate the pain after Guo Tianyu left. And this reserve is the 20-year-old high school striker Tian Yuda.
Tian Yuda, born in November 2001, is 191 cm tall and very strong, with similar physical conditions to Guo Tianyu and younger than Guo Tianyu. Tian Yuda has been selected for the 01 National Youth League many times, and has also scored 8 goals in 10 games, which is very efficient. He scored 22 goals in the 2016 National Junior U15 League, so he is also recognized as a future star in the Taishan team. Therefore, at a young age, he was loaned out by Taishan early on a loan to the Electricity Union, and in the 2019 season, he was loaned to Beijing Beiti University, and after the end of the season, he was sent to Auxerre in Ligue 2 for training, and he was loaned to Hebei Zhuo'ao in the Middle B the following year. Last season, he was once again loaned to the Beijing Beiti Team in the Central League, and through his outstanding performance, he quickly became the main center of the team and became the most reliable fulcrum in the front court. He made 26 appearances for the team in one season, including 18 starts, scoring five goals and an assist. For a U21 player, it's pretty good. And by watching his game, we found that Tian Yuda not only has height and headers, he also has good foot skills and a clear mind, and the future potential is unlimited.
With Guo Tianyu's loan departure, Tian Yuda will most likely end his loan career and return to the Taishan first team, because he should be the best replacement for Guo Tianyu at present, which is really good physical condition. Of course, Tian Yuda is still young, and there will definitely be a certain gap between the game experience and strength and Guo Tianyu, but the young players are constantly growing through the game, and I believe that Tian Yuda, who already has experience in the Chinese First Division, should not take too long to adapt to the Chinese Super League.
Are you optimistic about Tian Yuda? Do you think that if Guo Tianyu stays in Yangyang smoothly, Tian Yuda will be Luneng's future major high school striker? Friends are welcome to discuss together in the comment area!
