Half-year inspection, 48-hour flash signing, Eiffelding stays in Sweden!

Chinese Ocean Legion +1! Swedish Premier League team Mierby, which will reach the milestone of 84 years on April 1, confirmed on March 29 that Chinese youth captain Eiffelding Escal, who recently performed well in the U20 Asian Cup, joined the team on loan for one year to compete in the 2023 Swedish Premier League. Eiffeldin, who is currently training with the Olympic team in Croatia, is expected to report within a week. This landing in Northern Europe means that Eiffelding began his second journey to the ocean. As early as 2017 and 2018, he went to Japan for further study, and has learned football experience in Shimizu Agitation and Kashima Antlers Youth Team, and the European League is still a very new environment for him.

Although Mierbi is not very famous in the Swedish Premier League, he has also produced well-known Swedish internationals such as Christian Wilhelmsson, and the most well-known star in the team's history is former Beijing Guoan foreign aid Fezulau. In 2009, Mierbi won the Swedish First League for the first time, making his first time in history and this year marks the club's ninth top-flight season.

According to the schedule, Mierby's new Swedish Premier League debut is at home to Varberg on April 3, and the entire season ends on November 12. It is worth mentioning that the team has reached the final of the 2022-23 Swedish Cup, where they will face the 2022 Swedish Super League champion Horgan on May 18. Eiffelding will also have the opportunity to challenge for the first national championship with his new owner.

Eiffeldin was ready to train with the Olympic team in Croatia for a long time – according to the plan, the Olympic team will stay in Europe until early June, and then return home for the Panda Cup. But just days before Sweden's Super Transfer window closed, Mierbi warmly threw an olive branch to him, which made Eiffelding a little overjoyed. I thought that after the U20 Asian Cup trip, I would most likely be between the National Olympic Team and the Guangzhou team this year, and an invitation from the Nordic League was still very exciting for the players themselves.

In the past few days, after communicating with his family and negotiating with the Guangzhou club, Eiffelding quickly made the decision to go north to the Swedish Super League. Fortunately, since he travelled to Zagreb on a Schengen visa and diverted from Croatia to Sweden (with a valid Schengen visa issued by any Schengen country, he can enter Sweden), Eiffeldin does not need to go through other formalities, and he is currently planning to fly directly from Zagreb to Stockholm and then to Selvosburg on April 3, that is, next Monday.

Eiffelding does not have a very clear concept of the Swedish Premier League, on the contrary, Mierbi is already very familiar with him - since the summer of 2022, the club has begun to study Eiffelding, as well as another Chinese national defender. But at the time, the introduction of that defender was still the first choice, after all, the introduction of this position was just needed by Mierbi Club.

It is undeniable that Mierby has a deeper examination of Eiffelding through the U20 Asian Cup. What makes the club even more gratifying is that because Eiffelding has just participated in a continental competition with the Chinese national youth team, he is in good physical condition, and even if he does not train with the club before the start of the new season, he can quickly enter the actual rhythm. Therefore, Mierby's side did not arrange any similar trial sessions, but directly sent an invitation to Eiffelding to join.

Since the Swedish Super Transfer window closed on March 28, when Mierby issued the invitation, the parties actually felt a little abrupt because of the rush. However, the club's sporting director, Hasse Larsson, after watching the U20 Asian Cup matches, recognized Eiffelding's strength and potential, and was still more insistent on signing the Chinese U20 national youth captain. Mijerby believes that through the recent in-depth examination of Eiffelding, he is more confident that he can be included in the first-team season plan at this point in time. And Eiffelding himself is also interested in staying in Sweden.

So, starting this Monday (March 27), Mierby, Guangzhou and Eiffelding officially pushed forward with the completion of the deal at full speed. Eiffelding currently has a three-year contract with the Guangzhou team, but the Guangzhou team still fully supports the Chinese player to stay in the ocean, and like Wu Shaocong joined the Turkish Super League club, the Guangzhou team did not block too much. Soon, after the contract framework was initially agreed, the three parties began to proceed with the leasing procedures. By the evening of the 28th local time in Sweden, all kinds of formalities were finally basically completed.

It is understood that after landing in the Swedish Super League, Eiffelding's salary has also increased slightly compared with the Guangzhou team. However, due to the tight schedule, Eiffeldin has only preliminarily finalized the time of the flight from Croatia to Sweden (April 3), including the shirt number, accommodation arrangements, and whether to set up a media meeting, etc., and both sides need to further implement.

It is worth mentioning that Mijerby's transfer work this winter is still concentrated in the back line, they have introduced four central defenders, but the complement on the wing is relatively limited, and Eiffelding is naturally a means to strengthen the attacking line. It should be noted that Mierbi already has a number of young players in the midfield, such as two Nigerian foreign signings, 21-year-old Yusuf Abdulazezez and 19-year-old Silas Nwanko, and left winger Otto Rosengren, who started in the recent Swedish Cup, was also born in the 2003 age group. Cultivating new Ding is the tradition of this club. Therefore, this loan to Iffelding, from the perspective of the Mierbi team, is not a surprise.
