When the new season of the Chinese Super League came, many players completed the transfer and changed the owner, but some players chose to bid farewell to the green field. They either leave the football industry altogether or continue their football dreams in a different capacity.
The Zhejiang team, which was promoted from the Chinese First Division to the Chinese Super League, recently announced the retirement of 4 players, including Wu Haoyi. Born in 1997, Wu Haoyi is only 24 years old and can only be regarded as a young player in Chinese football. It is a pity to choose to retire so early. Wu Haoyi is from the Greentown Football School, which is a product cultivated by the Zhejiang team itself, mainly playing offensive midfield positions. Hanging up your boots early this time is mainly related to injuries.
2017 was a significant year for Wu Haoyi. On the one hand, the players were selected for the Zhejiang U20 National Games team, followed the team first through the preliminary round, and then in the final circle all the way to the final, and finally won the runner-up; on the other hand, the player won the favor of the Zhejiang first team, not only got the registration, but also participated in the Chinese League A and the FA Cup. In the FA Cup in May 2017, Zhejiang team played against Liaoning Hongyun. At the end of the game, Wu Haoyi came off the bench and made his career debut. A month later, in the Chinese League A, Wu Haoyi made another start in the match against Beijing Renhe. But unfortunately, Wu Haoyi's career did not take this opportunity to rise steadily, but came to an abrupt end. By the time of his retirement, the players had played only 4 official professional matches, 2 in the Chinese League A and 2 in the FA Cup.
After retiring, Wu Haoyi will engage in coaching work and enter the coaching team of Zhejiang U14 echelon. He was originally very young, but now he is going to be a coach to manage a group of younger players, and I don't know if Wu Haoyi can hold it.
Zhejiang team qualified for this season's Chinese Super League, so many fans think that Wu Haoyi retired a little early, at least experienced the Chinese Super League and then left; some fans are worried about his future livelihood, after all, Wu Haoyi, who has stayed in the first team for a very short time and basically did not play a few games, it is difficult to save more funds. In fact, however, fans are worried. According to the data, Wu Haoyi's father, Wu Liang, is the vice president of a world-renowned Japanese electrical appliance company in Northeast Asia in China. That is to say, Wu Haoyi belongs to the kind of "family with mines" and does not have to worry about his livelihood after retirement. Some fans joked that Wu Hao's as a player and coach may just be to experience life.
Wu Haoyi was a failure at the level of a professional footballer, not only had few opportunities to play, but also never made it onto the stage of the Chinese Super League. However, although some people can't play football, they are a good coach, such as Mourinho, who has coached Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Chelsea and other giants, and Benitez, who led Liverpool to the top of the Champions League. Perhaps in the coaching position, Wu Haoyi can achieve impressive results.
Since the end of last season, many athletes have chosen to hang up their boots and wish them all the best in their new positions.
