As the most popular ball sport in the world, football has a large fan base. Because the Chinese men's football team is in a trough period, the performance in the international arena is very sluggish, which also makes the national football team on the cusp of public opinion. Under such preconditions, the Japanese and Korean teams, which are also Asian teams, have also become the focus of everyone's attention.
As we all know, the World Cup is a large-scale international event, which is the most influential and well-known football event in the world, and the World Cup championship symbolizes the highest honor in the football world. The Chinese men's football team once competed in the 2002 World Cup, which is also the only time that the national football team appeared in the World Cup, and the Japanese team and the South Korean team became regulars in the World Cup, and the technical and tactical level was gradually pulled apart.
Take South Korean player Son Heung-min, for example, who is worth 80 million euros and is the only Asian player to sit firmly in the core position of the five major league teams. Coupled with Son Heung-min as a striker, he previously helped Tottenham Hotspur to win the Champions League runner-up as a core player, which also made Son Heung-min crowned the title of "Asian Brother", from son's value and on-field performance, he did win glory for Asia.
Under such preconditions, many fans have also issued a soul torture question, that is, if Sun Xingyu is a Chinese, will his historical status surpass Yao Ming? It should be known that Yao Ming is a "pyramid tip" in the Chinese sports world, after all, he can land on the NBA as a champion, which is unique in the history of Chinese basketball. Yao Ming continued to devote himself to basketball after retiring, helping the Chinese CBA League to continue to improve, which also greatly improved Yao Ming's historical status.
Compared with the basketball field in which Yao Ming is engaged, football is the ball sport with the largest fan base, and the influence of football in the world is very large, so football has become the world's largest ball sport. If Son Xingyu is a Chinese, judging by China's huge fan base and football market, Sun Xingyu's commercial value will become more terrible, and his historical status is indeed expected to surpass Yao Ming.
Son Xingyu is currently worth as much as 80 million euros, if he is a Chinese, then the value of more than 100 million euros is basically a foregone conclusion. In fact, European football has always been reluctant to give up the Chinese market, but the level of Chinese football has not been able to grow to the world's top level, which also makes it difficult for many Chinese players to get enough playing time when they stay in the Ocean.
However, Son Heung-min can sit in the main position of Tottenham Hotspur, and his technical and tactical level naturally does not need to be repeated, after all, Spurs are members of the "Premier League BIG6", which is a team with the highest strength in the Premier League. Although Son Xingyu showed excellent competitive standards, few big teams threw him an olive branch, but his teammate Kane became a sought-after commodity.
In the summer and winter windows of football, Kane will appear on the list of reinforcements of the giants, which also proves the importance of the "hukou book", Kane is a British player, and Son Heung-min is a Korean player. If Son Xingyu is a Chinese, then he will definitely become the object of competition among major giants, after all, no one wants to miss the huge Chinese market.
Maybe Son Heung-min's achievements can't reach the same level as Messi and Ronaldo, but if he is a Chinese player, then the attention and influence will definitely be higher than it is now. Football may become a three-legged stand, and Son Heung-min will become the most representative star in today's football like Messi and C Ronaldo!
