A few days ago, the Chinese Overseas Legion received good news that had been lost for a long time. Chinese winger Zhou Tong, who plays for New Zealand champions Auckland, has performed well since joining his new club, earning the first assist of his overseas career. At that time, Zhou General picked a pass with a freehand kick and found a teammate who inserted forward. The teammate did not live up to Zhou Tong's kindness and steadily sent the ball into the opponent's door. In the end, Zhou Tong led Auckland to a 4-0 victory.
Zhou Tong's choice to join New Zealand champions Auckland in the twilight of his career surprised many fans. Because, Zhou Tong is already a 33-year-old veteran, and he basically has to consider the question of when to retire. At the same time, Zhou Tong has been playing for the Jinmen Tigers for the last two seasons and has performed remarkably. Jinmen Tiger coach Yu Genwei appreciated Zhou Tong's ability very much and directly gave him the main position.
Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and this sentence is equally appropriate for Zhou Tong. Zhou Tong quickly played well in the front court of the Jinmen Tigers and became the core of the team's attack. Judging from Zhou Tong's performance in the last two seasons of the Jinmen Tigers, he has every hope of playing in the team until he retires. However, Zhou Tong hopes to have a foreign resume in his career. Therefore, Zhou Tong chose to stay overseas.
Zhou informed that if his strength went to Europe, he would most likely sit on the bench. So, after thorough consideration, the winger decided to play in the New Zealand league. It turns out that Zhou Tong belongs to the existence of superstars in the New Zealand league. In itself, the level of the New Zealand league is not high, except for the champion team Auckland, which has a certain degree of competitiveness, the level of the rest of the teams is not as good as the Chinese League One club.
The biggest motivation for Zhou Tong to play in Auckland is that the team will participate in the Club World Cup as the Oceania champion in the future. At that time, Zhou Tong will hopefully represent the Auckland team and compete with the world's football giants one by one. Zhou Tong has now started in this championship team, and it is only a matter of time before he realizes his dream of playing in the Club World Cup in the future.
