I believe that many fans have already had an epiphany, and now if Chinese football wants to have a career, players going out is already a step that must be taken. In the past, we may not have felt deeply, and seeing the foreign players in Japan and South Korea may only have a feeling of envy, and we don't think that the foreign players will bring anything to a national team, and this round of 12 shows everything. When our national football team faced the Australian and Japanese teams traveling all over Europe, we clearly saw that the European rhythm crushed the rhythm of the Chinese Super League, and it would not take half-time to drag us down. At the same time, we also saw our only foreign player Wu Lei, who became one of the few players who could keep up with the rhythm in the round of 12, and he scored 4 goals alone, almost becoming the only weapon used by the national football team. Therefore, letting our players stay in the Ocean is definitely the best way for Chinese football to grow rapidly.
Now we are also pleasantly surprised to see that our plan to stay in the West is being carried out step by step. In women's football, Shen Mengyu played the main force in the Soviet Super Celtics, while Tang Jiali also played in the Tottenham hot spot. In terms of men's football, Li Lei successfully stayed in Yang Ruichao's grasshopper team, and Guo Tianyu also joined Vizzella in the Portuguese Premier League on loan. In addition, there are many players who have become the next batch of foreign objects, which makes us look forward to it. But we also know that it is not easy for Chinese football to return to the road of staying in the West. One is that the strength of our players is not as good as before, and the other is that Chinese football has disappeared on the international stage for too many years, and everyone does not trust Chinese players, and it is much more difficult for Chinese players to get opportunities.
And such a scene also makes many fans feel pity, because we have several batches of excellent players, such as the 85 national youth, they broke into the 16 rounds of the World Youth Championship, and the 88 national teenagers also entered the top 8 of the World Junior Championship. It can be said that if these groups of players stay in the ocean, they can definitely develop better in Europe. But unfortunately, at that time, the Chinese Super League was not so open, and many players had a good opportunity to stay in the West, but they missed it for various reasons. For example, Chen Tao, a midfield talent at the time, finally was suspended for more than a year in order to stay in Yang and break up with the club, and it was difficult to find the original feeling when he came back. In addition, there was Feng Xiaoting, who was originally the Salk 04 team in the Bundesliga took a fancy to him and offered 2 million euros, but the Dalian Shide team at that time wanted 4 million euros, and finally failed to make the trip. At that time, we had so many good seedlings, and in the end only a few had the experience of staying in the ocean, which is a pity to think.
Recently, an international footballer with 88 countries revealed in a chat with fans that he had missed the opportunity to stay in the West twice, although he was laughing right, but we can also feel the helplessness. This player is the 34-year-old national football tower Yang Xu. In the chat with the fans, some fans said that he was the man who had passed the scandal with Atletico, and Yang Xu later corrected that it was Benfica and Hoffenheim.
It was in 2006, after the end of the World Junior Championship in Peru, the scouts of the Portuguese Super League giants Benfica carefully examined three players of the national junior team, namely Zhu Yifan, Yu Dabao and Yang Xu. At that time, Zhu Yifan and Yu Dabao both went to trial training, and Yu Dabao remained in the Benfica echelon. But Yang Xu did not go. Why? According to media reports at the time, Liaozu was open to Yang Xu's stay in the ocean at that time, but it was a pity that Yang Xu was participating in the training of the national Olympic team, and the time of the trial training conflicted with the time of the national Olympic Team. In the end, Yang Xu gave up this opportunity, which was a pity.
The second time was in 2012, when the then 24-year-old Yang Xu was already the pawn of Liaoning Hongyun, scoring eight goals in a single season and being selected for the national team several times. So in July, the Bundesliga's Hoffenheim team tried to bring in Yang Xu, but due to Liaozu's relegation dilemma, the request was eventually rejected by Liaozu. This time is really a pity, Yang Xu did not go out at that time, with the opening of the Golden Yuan era, his chances to play are getting less and less, and these years have been surviving in the cracks of foreign aid. Although he has also played the main force for several seasons with his strength, the foreign aid in place is also automatically giving way. Especially after the transfer of Shenhua in the past two years, Yang Xu has a very obvious discomfort. This discomfort also led to his difficulty scoring a goal in the league, which was questioned. However, Yang Xu's ability is actually no longer in doubt, his past achievements have been able to prove himself, but his age and status have made him now at a low ebb.
It can be said that many players in the 85-89 batches of players had a good opportunity to stay in the West, but at that time they were in the era of not being friendly to staying in the West, which also led to many players not going to the higher arena and not becoming better themselves, which is their own regret and the loss of Chinese football. But all this has passed, and we can only laugh like Yang Xu, one laugh is the release of the past, and the other laugh is the vision of the future. How long do you think it will take for the national football team to recover after the opening of the plan to stay in the west? Which other players have the potential to stay abroad?
