Whether in the club or the national team, he has a tenacious style, runs actively, and is fierce, like a wild horse that has lost its reins, and people who know him like to call him "horse"; he is the flagship figure of Sichuan football and the captain of the national football team to participate in the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup; he is also the first Chinese player to join the Serie A team; he is Ma Mingyu.
Influenced by the player's father, Ma Mingyu showed good football talent from an early age, and under the personal tutelage of his father, Ma Mingyu's football level was higher than that of his peers. In 1980, at the age of ten, Ma Mingyu was selected for the Sichuan Provincial Junior Team and officially started his football career.
Ma Mingyu is a very professional player, who invests in training hard, plays actively and seriously, is good at using his brain, and is also impressed by his hard work under the guidance of Xu Genbao, who strictly governs the army. In 1989, Ma Mingyu, who was less than twenty years old, was selected for the national second team coached by Xu Genbao. At the end of the same year, he was selected for the national youth team coached by Chen Xirong, and played as the captain of the 10th Granachin Gold Cup International Youth Football Tournament, and won the second place with the team.
In 1994, after the professionalization of the league, Ma Mingyu, as the core of the midfield of Sichuan Quanxing Team, ma Mingyu on the court was diligent in running, wide in vision, flexible in mind and outstanding in organizational ability, and made great contributions to the team to win the sixth place in the league. That year, Ma Mingyu was also selected for the national team under the guidance of Qi Wusheng with his outstanding performance in the league.

At the beginning of the tide of Chinese player transfers, Ma Mingyu transferred to Guangdong Hongyuan for 420,000 yuan in the 1995 season. This season, the newcomer Ma Mingyu quickly became the main force of the Hongyuan team, although the league championship was won by Shanghai Shenhua that season, he still successfully conquered the Guangdong Hongyuan fans with his wonderful performance.
After two seasons with Guangdong Hongyuan, Ma Mingyu returned to Sichuan in the 1997 season and retired after the 2003 season.
During the winter training in 2000, Ma Mingyu came to Italy with Sichuan Quanxing to prepare for the new season, and then in a teaching match with Venice, Ma Mingyu was favored by his opponents for good play, but for various reasons, the two clubs did not reach any agreement on Ma Mingyu's transfer. Subsequently, the positive attitude of the Perugia team towards the introduction of Ma Mingyu made the Quanxing club and Ma Mingyu himself feel sincere, and Ma Mingyu joined Perugia on loan in August 2000.

In the eyes of the then Peruga coach Cosmi, Ma Mingyu was very uncomfortable with the rhythm of the team, and even if the two main players of the team were injured, he never arranged for Ma Mingyu to enter the substitute list. After months of waiting and fruitless efforts, Ma Mingyu finally ended his Serie A trip early in February 2001 and returned to his old club, Sichuan Quanxing.
Ma Mingyu, who has delicate footwork and a broad vision, has won the trust of Milu, although he was over thirty years old at the time and his physical fitness was not as good as when he was young, but his conscientious spirit can still infect his teammates on the field, and Ma Mingyu was also appointed by Milu to become the captain of the Chinese men's football team when he played in the World Cup.

Opened Ma Mingyu Football School, served as deputy general manager of Chengdu Sheffield United, general manager of Sichuan Annapurna, vice chairman of Sichuan Football Association, and member of the 11th Executive Committee of China Football Association. After retiring, Ma Mingyu has not left football, and he hopes that through his own efforts, Sichuan football can restore the glory of the Quanxing period. I believe that Ma Mingyu's performance will not disappoint the Fans of Sichuan.
