Once upon a time, Wu Lei was in Espanyol, wang shuang was in Paris Saint-Germain, and the two would often appear at the same time on weekends, so the fans gave them a very domineering nickname - "The World Wu Frost". Unfortunately, in just one season, Wang Shuang was forced to return to China for various reasons, and Wu Lei became the "hope of the whole village" and the only seedling of Chinese football. Now, the two people have once again embarked on the opposite path: last night, Wang Shuang officially started his third trip to the West, signing a one-and-a-half-year contract with Athletic Louisville in the United States; Wu Lei, who has long been determined to return to the Chinese Super League, officially announced his return to Shanghai Harbor today. After the return of Wang Shuangliu Yang Wulei, the Chinese men's and women's football team has shown a completely opposite situation, the women's football team currently has a total of 7 players staying in the ocean, and the only people who can play in the men's football team are Li Lei, who "played an injury once" and Liu Shaoziyang, who trained in the lower league. No wonder some fans joked, "Now the women's football team is attacking, and the men's football team is returning to defense."
Although Wang Shuang's third trip to the West came a little suddenly, it can also be said that it was expected, after all, on the 2nd of this month, the Louisville Athletic in the United States announced that it had won Wang Shuang's right to play in the deal with the monarch of Lyon. In the deal, Louisville paid $30,000 in allotments and a 2023 NWSL fourth-round draft pick. Although there were many comments afterwards that there was still a certain distance between the right to play and the final signing, and Wang Shuang had the strength to compete in higher-level leagues, in the end, the most anticipated player of the Chinese women's football team landed in the Us major league. It is commendable that in order to facilitate this transaction, Wang Shuang's parent team, Wuhan Women's Football Club, unconditionally ended its contract with Wang Shuang in advance, allowing Wang Shuang to join the American Women's Football Club "freely". Because Wang Shuang is currently training with the Chinese women's football team in the United States, she was able to meet with Louisville Athletic for the first time and has begun to train with the team.
For his third trip to the West, Wang Shuang said in an interview, "This is my third experience of staying in the Ocean, and I am very excited about the upcoming challenges. I'm grateful for the help Louisville Athletic has helped me these days, and the team has helped me adapt to the environment. The coach introduced me to the team and I was thrilled to join such a young, consistently improving team. It's an honor to be a part of this club and I really hope to be a part of the club's success. Last night, she expressed her attitude to the fans through social media: I want to tell the world that in addition to the spirit of women's football that never gives up, we still have the confidence to play! Come on Little King!
Based in Kentucky, the Louisville Athletic women's team is a new force in the NWSL and currently finishes ninth in the league. From the overall level of women's football projects, the development of the European women's football league is actually better than NWSL. But Wang Shuang chose to go to the United States to play football this time with her own thinking, "I have stayed in Asia and Europe before, and this time I chose the Americas, but also want to experience a different team style." Wang Shuang introduced. In addition, There is another reason why Wang Shuang chose to join the Louisville Athletic Women's Football Team this time, the team's head coach Keim Bjork Glenn, who coached Beijing Beijing Phoenix in China from 2018 to 2019, was very concerned about Wang Shuang, "We are very happy to welcome Wang Shuang to Louisville Athletic, and we thank her former club for working with us to make this signing a reality." Of course, we hope that Wang Shuang will help us in terms of assists and goals, and we certainly believe that she will help us achieve better results. As a top player, she fits the team. We can't wait to see what she can do with our jerseys. ”
On the same day as Wang Shuang, her teammate Yang Shuhui first announced that she had left the French team Charente de Suvayor in the morning, and less than 3 hours later, Lokomotiv Moscow announced that she had signed a contract with her. In the announcement, the new owner specifically said: (Yang Shuhui) can play in the middle and right, is the first Chinese player in the women's Football Russian Premier League. Compared with Wang Shuang, Yang Shuhui belongs to the small characters of the Chinese women's football team. In fact, Yang Shuhui just landed in Ligue 1 in January this year. The day after the official transfer was announced, she made her debut in the French Cup 1/16 final and played the whole game. In that game, One of Yang Shuhui's long-range shots hit the crossbar, creating a scoring opportunity for her teammates to make up for the empty goal. During her time at Charente Suvayo, Yang Shuhui made a total of 9 appearances for the team, including 4 starts. Predictably, Yang Shuhui's new journey is extremely challenging. After all, Lokomotiv Moscow was last season's Russian Premier League champions, and the team is currently in second place in the table with 15 wins, 10 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat, five points less than Zenit at the top of the table.
In addition to Wang Shuang and Yang Shuhui, there are 5 female football players who are staying in Yang: Shen Mengyu and Shen Monroe playing for the Su Chao Celtics; Tang Jiali became a new signing for the Madrid CFF; Zhang Linyan joined the Swiss Grasshopper; Tu Linli is still playing in the Icelandic League. In addition, Zhao Yujie, who is training with the national team, has previously gone to Frankfurt in the Bundesliga for trial training, but she has not been able to make the trip, and she will spend more time with the national team, which is also what Shui Qingxia hopes to see.
At the same time as the women's football team staying in the west is growing, Wu Lei, the "hope of the whole village", embarked on a journey back to his hometown. This afternoon, Xuanwu Lei, the official official of shanghai seaport, returned. At this point, Wu Lei also officially ended his 1292-day career in foreign countries, leaving a list of 126 appearances in various competitions, 16 goals and 6 assists. According to local media in Catalonia, the seaport paid a transfer fee of 1.5 million euros for this. The reason why Shanghai Harbor chose today's official announcement is another layer of ingenuity - Wu Lei was officially crowned the all-time top scorer of the Chinese Super League (102 goals) on August 11, 4 years ago, with a goal in the Shanghai derby. But now, his record has been surpassed by Axon (123 goals), and Wu Lei will attack this position again after his return.
It is reported that Wu Lei is still in Barcelona, where he will return to China around August 16 after completing a medical examination, and will not be able to re-wear the No. 7 shirt to compete in the Chinese Super League as soon as early September. Therefore, if the schedule is not adjusted, it will definitely miss the first leg of the match with the Jinmen Tigers, and the reunion of Merida and Wu Lei's old teammates will not be staged until the second meeting between the two sides in November. Since the previous Tanassé was eventually intercepted, the harbor currently has an adjustable foreign aid quota, and the harbor fans are now most concerned about whether Wu Lei's good friend Vargas will join later and recreate the "Wuba connection" in Shanghai.
Wu Lei returned, in addition to a few naturalized players who returned to Brazil, the only people who can stand in the first team are Li Lei, who plays for the Swiss grasshopper, and Liu Shaoziyang, a young goalkeeper who plays in the first team of Klagenfurt in the Austrian Super League. The Chinese Football Association, which claims to vigorously promote the stay in the Ocean, has obviously not achieved obvious results. However, it is revealed that Chen Binbin, the former captain of the national Olympic team and also from the harbor, is likely to join the Japanese league soon. Previously, it was reported that Chen Binbin joined the Niigata Swan, which currently ranks second in the J2 League, but some people said that Chen Binbin joined the team of the J3 League.
