I believe that many fans did not feel very deeply about the role of foreign players before Wu Lei stayed in Yang. It is just that it is very envious to see so many players in Japan and South Korea playing the main force in the five major leagues, and we also see that when we play in the Chinese Super League lineup, the gap between us is getting bigger and bigger, but we did not think that foreign players would bring anything to Chinese football. Even some fans feel that the strength of Chinese players is not good and cannot go out, so Chinese football can only be like this.
However, since the Shanghai Harbor team sent Wu Lei to Stay in Yangyang at the end of the 2018 season, letting him transfer to the Espanyol team in La Liga. We have a deep understanding of the role of foreign players. At that time, Wu Lei experienced a glorious moment in Spain, such as scoring the first goal of Chinese players in La Liga, scoring the first goal of the Europa League, scoring the first goal of the Copa del Rey, and even the first goal to break through the Barca gate. Wu Lei's performance proves that it is possible for Chinese players to stand in the five major leagues, and after Wu Lei stayed in Yangyang, we also saw his rapid progress. Even though he did not play much time in Espanyol later, his performance in the national team was getting better and better, and the round of 40 and the round of 12 became the main backbone of the national football front. In particular, his four goals in the round of 12 directly helped the national football team to get 5 points. Liu Yang's Wu Lei's confrontation ability is stronger than before, the rhythm of playing football is faster than before, and the ability to react to changes on the field is also much faster.
That is to say, as long as you go to Play in Europe, even if you train in first- and second-tier teams, you can improve the strength of the players themselves. So at this time, we are also thinking that if we have more players playing in Europe, even if it is not the five major leagues, it is the second and third level leagues in Europe, then their ability will be much better than playing in the Chinese Super League, and they will not be led by the nose of the opponent in the Asian arena.
But Wu Lei has gone out, which does not mean that other players can also go out. It is very difficult for our players to go out over the years, for many reasons, such as domestic income is much higher than abroad, going out is equivalent to cutting their own salary. The second is that Chinese players have not succeeded in Europe for many years, and European coaches do not trust Chinese players enough. The third and most direct reason is that excellent local players are now a scarce resource in the Chinese Super League, and few teams are willing to send away their hard-won players at a low price, which is not good for the club and has an impact on the team's preparation. For example, the Shanghai Harbor team, after Wu Lei left, they did not slow down for 3 seasons, changed teams many times, and still could not make up for the loss brought to the team by Wu Lei's departure.
So if we want our players to be able to stay in the ocean, our club needs to pay a lot. However, recently, with the encouragement and help of our Football Association, coupled with the need for clubs to reduce costs due to financial difficulties, they are also willing to make efforts for the development of Chinese football, so they also take the initiative to cooperate with the sending of players, and the environment for our players to stay in the Ocean has begun to improve. For example, Recently, Beijing Guoan's international left-back Li Lei successfully joined ruichao's grasshopper team, while Shandong Taishan's main center guo Tianyu, 23, was also successfully loaned to the Portuguese Super League. And these players go out, but also let us see hope.
And at this stall, the Shanghai Harbor Team that sent Wu Lei opened their Wu Lei 2.0 plan. And this time they sent out their 18-year-old striker Jia Boyan. I believe that many fans are not familiar with Jia Boyan, he was born in November 2003 and is only 18 years old this year. He made his Debut in the Chinese Super League at just 16 in the 2020 season, and he has also made two substitute appearances this season. Among the world's top 60 rising stars in the 2003 age group previously listed by the Guardian, Jia Boyan's name is impressive, and he is also the only player in China to be selected. And Jia Boyan has always been the main player of national teams at all levels, and has had outstanding performances on behalf of the national youth team, such as the side of Marseille slalom, ultra-long-range long-range shooting, all of which are the impressions he has left on everyone and is very talented.
According to the latest news from reporter Liu Wenchao, the process of Jia Boyan joining the Swiss Grasshopper Club is about to be completed. He wrote on social media: "Harbor Club 03-year-old Jia Boyan, joining the Swiss Grasshopper Club should be almost done. It is estimated that there are also some matters other than visas that need to be implemented before they can start. Following Wu Lei, who was about to enter the peak of the year, The Harbor has to send a young "future tense" to stay in The Ocean this time, and it is not a loan but a transfer, which can also make the opposing club more bold. When it comes to the opportunity to send players out, the harbor basically does not hesitate. Of course, the opportunity also depends on Xiao Jia to fight on his own. Come on! blessing! ”
What do you think of the harbor sending its own supernova to the ocean? Are you optimistic about Jia Boyan's future development in Europe? Do you think the most realistic thing for Chinese players to stay in the West is to send who to which leagues? Friends are welcome to discuss together in the comment area!
