Harbor's Chen Binbin joined Japan's J3 League side Toyama Victory on loan, a seemingly less important summer window deal that has formed a hot discussion among Chinese fans.
In the 1980s, internationals like Jia Xiuquan, Chi Shangbin and Zhao Dayu went to Japan to play because of higher incomes. After the income of Chinese Super League players is much higher than that of the Japanese League, there is almost no famous Chinese player like Chen Binbin to play in Japan, and it is still the level of the J3 League, which is only equivalent to our Central B.
Many fans can't accept this reality, is it true that the level of our Chinese Super League players can only play in the third division of the league in Japan, is there really such a big gap?
Supporting Chen Binbin to "stay in Dongyang" to show support, it is good to be able to get out of the comfort zone, there are games to play to continue to improve, and Chinese players may not be able to play the main force in J1.
After all, Chen Binbin was once the captain of the National Olympic Games, and has been playing in the Chinese Super League for 5 seasons, and was once the main force of the Harbor team, especially in the season when the Harbor won the Chinese Super League championship trophy for the first time in 2018, Chen Binbin did not appear many times.
But one thing is for sure, if it is only half a season on loan, it will be too difficult for Chen Binbin to gain a foothold in J1. First of all, of course, the level of the J1 team, although not necessarily the top team in the Chinese Super League is really bad, their Japanese player level is definitely above the Chinese players, so Chen Binbin will not have many opportunities.
Relatively speaking, J2 and J3 are more suitable for Chinese players like Chen Binbin, who are basically substitutes in the Chinese Super League, and if the position is right, play a main force, and hone well, the effect should be much stronger than sitting on the bench in the Chinese Super League.
This is also the original intention of Chen Binbin's choice to play in the Japanese league, especially the toyama victory on loan made it clear that the team needed a left winger.
Of course, a top Chinese player like Wu Lei, who has played in La Liga, is not worried about occupying a main position in the J1 championship team, especially under the characteristics of Japanese teams paying attention to pass control, Wu Lei, who has an excellent running position, may have a good performance.
Wu Xi, Zhang Linpeng, etc. If they are still in the year of playing, they will definitely be able to play the main force in J1. Therefore, in fact, when it comes to staying in the West, if it is more difficult to go to Europe, in fact, the best of The Chinese local players to go to the Japanese league is really a good choice.
First of all, the quality of J1's matches definitely exceeds that of the Chinese Super League, there is no doubt about it. More advanced football concepts and tactics, a good football atmosphere, can also better further enhance the level of Chinese players.
Second, it may be a springboard to Europe. The ability of Japanese players has been widely recognized by European clubs, so the J1 League has always been the focus of European scouts, maybe people look up to the Chinese players who play here?
Even in terms of income, under the salary limit order of the Chinese Super League, the maximum salary of local players is 3 million yuan before tax. In the J League, the annual salary of high-level foreign aid is generally around 100 million yen, that is, more than 5 million yuan. Although only a few Japanese players from Kobe Victory Ship receive 200 million yen, an annual salary of about tens of millions of yuan, the salaries of the top Japanese players of other teams can reach 100 million yen.
If you can go up, you can have a higher income, even if you can't go to Europe, really go to Japan!
For young players in China, whether it is J1, J2 or J3, staying in Japan can at least have the opportunity to lay a solid foundation in football, and it is always good to go out and see.
