It is an indisputable fact that the Chinese men's football team has become the third-rate level in Asia, and after two consecutive defeats in the World Preliminary Round, the overall strength of the national football team continues to decline. I believe that if this continues, it will not be long before the national football team will be reduced to the level of The 4 streams or even the last stream in Asia.
The level of Chinese men's football is getting worse and worse, so will the value of national football players also fall? Recently, a well-known international transfer website recently released the Chinese player transfer value ranking, which gave us a very clear answer.
Judging from this list, the top transfer value ranking is still the naturalized player of the national football team, although the performance in the World Preliminary Round is not good, but the naturalized striker Axon still beat Wu Lei with a value of 3 million euros, ranking first in this list.
Although Wu Lei is the most scoring player in the national football team in this World Cup, and he also scored a La Liga goal last week, his value has not increased, and he still ranks second in the list with 2.5 million euros.
The next 2 are all naturalized players, the third is the Chinese naturalized player Jiang Guangtai, and the fourth is Fernando, who has not appeared on the green field for a long time. He is also unemployed now, and he does not know whether the transfer value can recover after finding a new owner.
There is also a naturalized player among the 5-10 players in the rankings, he is Alain, who is now worth only 800,000 euros, which is indeed a bit low for a former Europa League Golden Boot scorer. However, considering that Alain has not found a new owner after the termination of his contract with the Guangzhou team, such a value should be considered more reasonable.
The other 5 players in this list are all active internationals, in order of ranking, they are: goalkeeper Yan Junling, strikers Zhang Yuning, Guo Tianyu, Wei Shihao and midfielder Dai Weijun.
Judging from the situation of these 5 internationals, in addition to Yan Junling, the other 4 are attacking players in the front court and are also relatively young, and they will be the absolute main force of the future Chinese men's football team and the clubs they play for. At the same time, they also represent the strongest strength of today's Chinese players.
From this point of view, it is easier for us to understand why the level of Chinese men's football is getting worse and worse. Because the value of these 10 top-ranked players is all added up, it is not yet a third of the value of South Korean striker Son Heung-min, who is currently playing for Premier League giants Tottenham Hotspur.
Although there are 3 players in this list who play in overseas leagues (Axon in The Second Division, Wu Lei in La Liga, and Guo Tianyu in the Portuguese Super League), their level is far from being comparable to Son Heung-min, while Fernando and Alain are currently unemployed. This situation also clearly shows us the fact that there are fewer and fewer players in China who can play in high-level leagues today.
Therefore, if Chinese football wants to take off again in the future, it must vigorously develop youth football. At the same time, it is also necessary to send more players to stay overseas and improve their experience and ability through experience in high-level leagues in Europe and the United States. If this 2 points cannot be achieved, then the continued decline in the level of Chinese football will certainly not be possible...
