In the cold winter, people are looking forward to the arrival of the Spring Festival, but 19-year-old Han Huimin embarked on a journey away from home.
The young women's football player joined the Israeli Women's Football League to play in the yangyang, and she has left footprints in the national youth team, and she has started a new journey in her career.
Why go to Europe? What kind of dreams do you have in the future? She came together in an exclusive interview with a surging reporter.
Han Huimin
Wang Shuang liuyang made her think of going abroad
Born on April 8, 2001 in Hefei, Anhui Province, Han Huimin is only 19 years old this year, but her idea of going abroad to stay in The West has been around two years ago.
In the summer of 2018, Chinese women's football star Wang Shuang officially joined Paris Saint-Germain, began a trip to Europe, and continued to stage a highlight performance since then, and planted a seed early in Han Huimin's psychology.
When Sister Frost played football in Paris Saint-Germain, she felt very envious and hoped that she would have the opportunity to exercise and study abroad in the future. The goal of choosing to stay in the Ocean is actually not complicated, the most fundamental thing is to hope to broaden the horizons through the professional football environment abroad and improve their professionalism and competitive level. ”
"Before, in China, whether it was participating in the sports system such as the National Games or in the trial training of the women's Super League women's league team, there were many players discussing the topic of staying in the ocean, and I came out this time, just one step ahead of the action to put what everyone wanted to do into action."

It is understood that this time Han Huimin's trip to the West actually encountered some twists and turns. In June this year, she had already signed a contract with a Portuguese top league team and was scheduled to appear in the Portuguese Premier League in August, but due to the epidemic, Han Huimin could not get a portuguese work visa, which had to change her destination to stay in The West and join the Israeli team FC Kiryat-Gat.
"I've also done some homework for the Israeli women's football league, which has 10 teams in the 2020-2021 season, home-and-away, with 18 rounds of matches interspersed with the FA Cup and League Cup, which will last from the end of December to the end of May next year."
"The Israeli women's football team is now ranked 68th in the world, although the gap between the ranking of the Chinese women's volleyball team is not small, but it is not easy to gain a foothold here, after all, Israel has cultivated an international male football star such as Zahavi, and the football atmosphere and requirements for players here are not ordinary."

Asian women's footballers who stayed abroad are all role models
In the Israeli Women's Football League held in the early morning of December 25, Beijing time, Han Huimin has made her debut in the league as a substitute, and FC Kiryat-Gat also won the opening goal with a 3-0 victory over the opponent.
"The first impression of coming to the team is the profession, the team has its own home, training ground and various support departments, and the software and hardware are also very complete." Han Huimin said.
To finally appear in overseas competitions after experiencing twists and turns, Han Huimin is also quite grateful for the help of all parties, "I need special thanks to my family, who have been firmly supporting me to play abroad." In addition, Han Huimin's coach Fan Yiying during the national youth period and Qin Jianli, the coach of the Fujian women's football team, also gave full support after learning of the disciple's plan to stay in Yang.
It is worth mentioning that for the younger generation's plan to stay in the West, Wang Shuang, as a senior, also gave support, "When my visa had twists and turns and I personally felt confused, it was Sister Frost who gave me great encouragement and support. She also gave me sneakers and jerseys and other equipment and told me not to give up. This made me feel very warm and strengthened my belief in staying in the ocean. ”

This time to stay in the Ocean, the original Han Huimin plan is to go to Israel with the broker, convenient to adapt to the local environment, but due to the impact of the epidemic, the business visa is not open, Han Huimin can only go alone, through the network to get the remote support of the team.
"I communicate here through translation software and body language, in fact, the effect is still good, anyway, young people are bold, there is no shame." Besides, football itself is the best way to communicate. ”
After starting his journey to stay in the West, Han Huimin admitted that his primary goal is to gain a firm foothold first, "and strive to have a certain chance to play this season." ”
In the long run, she still hopes to break out of her own sky overseas, "Recently learned through the news that South Korean player Ji Xiaoran has played 100 games for Chelsea women's football team, and Japanese player Sashi Kumagaya, who has played for Lyon for many years, scored the winning goal in the Champions League knockout round. I also hope that one day I will be like them and make a name for myself in Europe as an Asian female footballer. ”
