Reporter Han Bing reported that the famous Swiss sports research institute "CIES Football Observatory" launched the world football "stay in the ocean" report, counting the number of 80 football association players in the world in 135 leagues.0 This world football "staying in the ocean" report has become the "routine card" of the institution for many years, as the football kingdom of Brazil is also the first place in the "stay abroad" report for many years, and this year It is France and Argentina that rank behind.
However, this overly comprehensive coverage of the "staying in the ocean" report only has the quantitative significance of "staying in the ocean", and has no qualitative significance. After all, the gap between staying in the five major leagues and playing in the Cambodian league is obviously too obvious.
Therefore, in defining the scope of high-quality "foreign players", what level Chinese football is at in Asia has real reference significance. We play in Europe (the top and secondary leagues of the seven major leagues of Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands, as well as other top leagues with a market value of more than 100 million euros in the UEFA league rankings, a total of 35 leagues), the Americas (Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, 9 major leagues in North America, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Peru and Uruguay), and Asia (8 major leagues in China, Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Iran) as a statistical significance" High quality" league.
Moreover, this list of high-quality league "staying in the west" players also excludes players naturalized from overseas leagues in Asian countries.
In addition to Japan, South Korea, Australia and Iran, the four foreign players who lead asia in both quantity and quality, after all, the current gap between Chinese football and the above four powers is too large. The comparison between China and other Asian football countries in terms of "staying abroad" in high-quality leagues is of more practical reference significance.
There are currently only three Chinese players playing in the above-mentioned high-quality leagues: Wu Lei of La Liga Espanyol, Li Lei of the Swiss Super Zurich Grasshopper, and Guo Tianyu of the Portuguese Super League Vizzella.
Ji Xiaoxuan of Auxerre in Ligue 2 and Liu Shaoziyang, 18-year-old goalkeeper of Klagenfurt in the Austrian league, are simply unable to gain a foothold in the first team and are therefore not in the statistical range.
Even so, Li Lei and Guo Tianyu only began to stay in the Ocean this year, while naturalized players Gaulat, Axon and Lo Guofu played in the Bajia and Baliga, because they were originally from Brazil, they were not in the statistical range.
The players of the four major powers of Japan, South Korea, Iraq and Australia in 52 high-quality leagues are far ahead of other Asian football associations, Japan (77ers) topped the list, including Jiu Jianying, who was loaned from Real Madrid to Mallorca, Li Lei's two teammates at The Grasshopper Zurich, Jun Kawabe and Sekobu Meng, and Guo Tianyu also faced as many as 7 Japanese opponents in the Portuguese Premier League.
Australia (58ers) came in second, and South Korea (35ers) ranked 3rd, including Lee Lei's club team-mate Jeong Sang-bin.
Iran (33ers) ranks 4th and 4th most powerful players in the high-quality league stay far ahead of players from other Asian football associations.
Qatar, the World Cup host, currently has only 3 people playing overseas, in Morocco and the UAE league. But as many as 18 of the Qatari national team's rosters in the past year have been selected for the past year, and are basically concentrated in Qatar's two bases for developing players in Europe: Leonesa in Spain and Auburn in Belgium. People like Afif, who is currently the biggest star, has a five-year experience in Spain and Belgium, and is already a leader.
The same is true of Saudi Arabia, although only Maleki is currently in the Qatari league, but there are 6 players trained in the Croatian and Greek giants Dinamo Zagreb and Olympiacos echelons. Benefiting from the Saudi Football Federation's cooperation with the Spanish Football Association from the pre-World Cup four years ago, 9 senior and youth team internationals stayed in La Liga and La Liga for a short time. Now Saudi Arabia has 17 players in Europe, including 9 who play in high-quality leagues, and 2 internationals who have had a resume in the Portuguese Premier League and the UAE League.
Uzbekistan's Shomurodov, who failed to reach the round of 12, played for Roma in Serie A, in addition to 7 playing in 8 major leagues in Asia, 3 in the Russian Premier League, and as many as 11 active in high-quality leagues. Although the UAE has no foreign players for the time being, Omar, who has been elected Asian footballer and nicknamed "Gulf Messi", has played in Saudi giants Riyadh Crescent.
Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan all have more than double-digit resumes in the national teams, and Oman, which is in the same group as the national football team in the round of 12, has 12 players playing in the League of Iran, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. The foreign forces of the above three countries constitute the second group in Asia, and China even compares it with the remaining foreign forces of Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam, which used to be the third- and fourth-rate teams in Asia.
In recent years, China's bitter host Syria also has super goalscorers Somaher and Hribbin playing in saudi arabia and the United Arab Emirates league giants, in addition to 3 blood naturalized players playing in the greek and Swedish top leagues, and 8 people playing in germany, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland low leagues, the quality is not high but won by quantity. Lebanon has 2 players playing in the Cyprus and Japanese J-Leagues, and another 16 playing in the lower European leagues, also winning by numbers.
In some of the original Asian third- and fourth-rate countries, almost all the players who stay in foreign countries come from naturalized players who have developed overseas, but the level of playing in the league is relatively low. Palestine also has a large number of naturalized blood players scattered in European and American leagues, 4 playing in the top leagues of Portugal, Israel, Romania and the United Arab Emirates, in addition to 7 playing in the Egyptian league, one of the strongest in Africa, and 9 in the lower leagues of England, Germany, Argentina, Chile, Greece, Israel and Sweden. Although most of them are naturalized players, they are enough to take the team's strength to the next level. Jordan's Tamari plays in the bundesliga, in addition to five playing in the Qatar and Saudi leagues and two in the Swedish and Danish secondary leagues.
The Philippines in Southeast Asia has five active internationals playing in high-quality leagues, with the exception of the most famous Birmingham goalkeeper Etherrigi, the other four in the Bundesliga, Bundesliga, Swiss Super League and UAE League. Afghan winger O. Hajdari plays in the Polish Premier League, while other "foreign" players are in england, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland and the lower leagues of Turkey. Indonesia also has six naturalized players playing in the Dutch, Greek, Slovak, Japanese and South Korean secondary leagues, southeast Asia is second only to Vietnam's Thailand, in addition to Song Krasin, who plays for J1 champion Kawasaki Forward, and Half-blood naturalized player Kendy, who plays in the Danish Super League.
In the round of 12, he beat China's Vietnamese team 3-1, Deng Wenlin played for Sakura Osaka in J1, four others played in J2 and J3 leagues, and 5 European players represented by Nguyen Quang Hai in the lower leagues of Germany, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the Czech Republic. Even Malaysia has 2 players playing in the Bundesliga and 1 in the Icelandic League and J3 League. In Tajikistan, Central Asia, four also play in the Uzbekistan league, two in the Iranian league, and three in kazakhstan, Bulgaria and Belarus in the top league. Kyrgyzstan has Both Armazbekov playing for Turkish Super League giants Galatasaray, with six players playing in Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Belarus.
Even the North Korean team, which has been completely closed due to the new crown epidemic in recent years, has the top star Han Kwang-sung playing for Qatari giants Duhail, in addition to a total of 5 players in the Japanese J2 and South Korean K2 leagues, 3 in the J3 league. It is a great pity that Chinese players not only have difficulty gaining a foothold in Europe, but even the other 7 major leagues in Asia cannot guarantee that they can have elite players like other Asian second- and third-rate countries.
Compared with the number of "foreign players" in the high-quality leagues of Asia, Europe and the United States, Chinese football is also in the third group in Asia, not only far from the four major countries of Japan, Australia, South Korea and Iran, but also left behind by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Uzbekistan, and even in terms of quantity, it cannot be compared with the former asian third- and fourth-rate countries such as Syria and Jordan.
