At present, the five major league clubs in Europe, in addition to Real Madrid and Barca belong to the membership system, other clubs are basically corporate systems, and a large part of the clubs in the corporate system are not controlled by domestic enterprises, this part of the clubs can basically be divided into the United States and the West Asian consortium holdings, of course, there are also some data Chinese-funded clubs, such as Serie A giants Inter Milan, La Liga Espanyol, Premier League powerhouse Wolves and so on.
Now there will be a Chinese team in the five major leagues in Europe, that is, the old French team Auxerre, which has just been promoted to Ligue 1 in the new season. Auxerre finished 3rd in Ligue 2 last season and moved into the promotion and relegation play-off zone, with Sochaux, 5th in Ligue 2, beating Paris FC at 4th, but losing to Auxerre in a penalty shootout, who played the last two games against Saint-Etienne, who was 18th in Ligue 1, and drew 2-2 over two legs, and finally eliminated the home team on a penalty at the home of Saint-Etienne, confirming promotion to next season's Ligue 1.
Auxerre belongs to The Chinese boss Zhou Yunjie, and the current team has a domestic foreign player in the first team, that is, the 29-year-old striker Ji Xiaoxuan. Ji Xiaoxuan returned to Qingdao on loan last season to play in general, after returning to Auxerre, Qingdao finally announced its dissolution, and Ji Xiaoxuan returned to Auxerre and did not play, Ji Xiaoxuan's contract with Auxerre will expire in July, the two sides have no intention of renewing, Ji Xiaoxuan is about to become a free agent, and indeed his ability is not enough to compete in Ligue 1.
At present, there is a wave of foreign acquisitions in Ligue 1, and more than half of the Ligue 1 teams are affiliated with foreign capital. The club that is currently close to completion of the acquisition is Ligue 1 giants Lyon, an established team that is about to be bought by the Us billionaire John Turksto. After the deal is reached, there will be three American teams in Ligue 1, namely Lyon, Marseille and Toulouse. Manchester City's parent company, Abu Dhabi City Football Group, owns Troyes, qatari consortium owns Greater Paris, and Chinese team Auxerre will compete with these teams in the new season.
Auxerre returning to the top league may become the next "Spaniard", originally Auxerre has domestic players in the play, after the expiration of Ji Xiaoxuan's contract, the team is likely to introduce another domestic player, before the Spaniards introduced Wu Lei to create a lot of commercial value, of course, Wu Lei also contributed to the team in the game.
In order to play such an effect as the Spaniards, Auxerre is likely to bring in a top domestic player to stay in the ocean, at least to be able to reach the Level of Ligue 1 rotation, so that it will have a significance in front of domestic fans. At present, many netizens have recommended Guoan striker Zhang Yuning to Auxerre, who has indeed had experience in the West, and Zhang Yuning, who is currently the top center in China, is very suitable, and we also look forward to Zhang Yuning once again embarking on the road of staying in the Ocean, whether there can be domestic player faces in the new season of Ligue 1 depends on this summer window.
