Recently, The 28-year-old international Xu Xin said in an interview that he joined Shanghai Harbor not for money, and sometimes only played 30% of the normal level in the national team.
Last week, Shanghai Seaport official Xu Xin joined the team, and Xu Xin joined Shanghai Harbor with another international zhang Linpeng. Xu Xin returned from Atletico Madrid to join Guangzhou Evergrande, but has not played at the expected level, so he has not become an international during his time at Guangzhou Evergrande. Until last season as a free agent to join Shandong Taishan, as the main force to help the team complete the double, Xu Xin finally got the national team call-up, in the first leg of the round of 12 against Oman to make the national team debut, he was given the opportunity to start in the last 5 rounds of the round of 12. In the humiliating 1-3 defeat to Vietnam, he scored a face-saving goal for the national football team, which was also his national team debut.
Xu Xin signed a "1+4" contract with Shandong Taishan last year, which means that both parties have the right to jump out of the contract after one year of cooperation. After Xu Xin played a highlight performance in Taishan, Shandong, he received the attention of Shanghai Harbor, and finally Xu Xin decided to refuse to implement the terms of the automatic renewal of the contract with Shandong Taishan for 4 years, and joined Shanghai Harbor as a free agent.
In an interview, Xu Xin said: "[The reason for joining Shanghai Harbor] is that he and Shandong Taishan have not been able to reach an agreement on the renewal of the contract, and they also want to face new challenges, but it can be clear that it is not for money." I would never put personal treatment first, if it was for money, I would not have joined Guangzhou Evergrande when I first returned to China, because Hebei Huaxia Happiness and Tianjin Quanjian gave more money. ”
Of course, Shandong Taishan gave Xu Xin the top salary of the Chinese Super League last year, and this time he could only get the same salary as last year when he went to Shanghai Harbor. Xu Xin said that there was nothing wrong with joining the Shanghai Harbor for money.
In addition, Xu Xin also talked about the problem of national football.
Xu Xin said that when he played the AFC Champions League with Guangzhou Evergrande before, he did not feel worse than his opponents. But after playing in the round of 12, I realized that the gap between myself and my opponent was not small. The reasons for the lag include the slow pace of the league, the emotional instability of the players due to long-term concentration, and the pressure. Originally the ability can not keep up, coupled with the pressure, sometimes they feel that they may play 30% of the ability value.
On the issue of international pressure, former international Yang Xu also believes that it will affect the normal play of national team players. Yang Xu said that too many voices from the outside world make the burden of the international football team very heavy, and the players only want to play Ann Global and dare not take risks and try boldly in order not to be scolded.
