Recently, the 34-year-old former international Yang Xu has spoken out for his teammate Feng Xiaoting in the air polemic of the "Feng Gong War" and has returned to the focus of public opinion. On the evening of March 18, Beijing time, Yang Xu once again revealed a piece of information about himself on his social account, that is, he had been sought by benfica and Hoffenheim, the two major European powers.
At that time, some fans in the comment area supported Yang Xu's statement that "Xu Ge is a man who has passed on a scandal with Atletico", and then Yang Xu replied: "It is Benfica and Hoffenheim." So is what Yang Xu said bragging, or is there really such a thing?
According to previous domestic media reports, in 2006, Yang Xu, who was still a rising star of the National Olympic Games at the time, did receive a trial training invitation from The Benfica team. However, at that time, he was still playing for Liaozu, and eventually failed to join the Portuguese Super League giants who had advanced to the top 8 of the Champions League this season.
After 6 years, Yang Xu once again got the opportunity to land in Europe. Throwing an olive branch to him this time were two Bundesliga clubs, Hoffenheim and Düsseldorf. Huo Cun even sent Yang Xu an offer of 2 million euros to Liaozu. In 2012, Hoffenheim was able to pay such a transfer fee for a Chinese player, which is indeed quite sincere. But unfortunately, at that time, Liaozu was reluctant to release people because of performance considerations, and refused the offer.
After two consecutive misses in the Ocean, Yang Xu transferred to Shandong Taishan for 20 million yuan in 2013. In 17 years, he returned to Liao on loan to help the team relegation; in 18 years, Yang Xu joined Tianjin Tianhai freely, and after Tianhai disbanded in 20 years, Yang Xu joined Shenhua. In the past two seasons, Yang Xu has not scored a single Goal in the Chinese Super League at Shenhua. The 34-year-old former international has completely distanced himself from the Chinese men's national team because of the downturn in form.
