Who is the best among the Chinese players? Basogo named four people without thinking, and one of them has a degree of self-discipline comparable to Zheng Zhi
Unknowingly, Shanghai Shenhua foreign player Basogo has been playing in the Chinese Super League for 7 seasons. From Henan Jianye to Shanghai Shenhua, the Cameroon international has been playing diligently, fulfilling his own ethics and dedication as a professional footballer.
According to the data, from joining Henan Jianye in 2017 to Shanghai Shenhua now, Basogo has played a total of 140 games for the Chinese Super League, contributing a total of 37 goals and 25 assists. Basogo's peak in the Chinese Super League came in his first season with Henan Jianye, where he made a splash, contributing 10 goals and seven assists in 24 appearances. Since then, with the impact of injuries, his combat effectiveness index has been weakening, and in the past season, his combat effectiveness has reached its lowest point, playing 19 games for Shanghai Shenhua only contributed 2 goals and 1 assist.
Some people question that the main reason why Basogo's form continues to decline is that he has made a lot of money in the Chinese Super League, has forgotten his original intention, and has lost the desire to fight. In the face of such doubts and misunderstandings, Basogo seemed very aggrieved. He faced the reporter of the "Football" newspaper, saying that the income of the Chinese Super League in recent years has been much worse than before, and there has even been a situation of salary arrears, if it was for money, he would have left a long time ago, he is not short of a home, in fact, there have been many West Asian teams interested in signing him. He chose to stay entirely because he had feelings for the Chinese Super League.
Although it is impossible to verify whether Basogo's words are expressed from the heart, but judging from Basogo's consistent professionalism in the Chinese Super League, I am willing to choose to believe Basogo. Because he didn't have to pretend, if he wanted to go, he would have left long ago for the sake of money. The fact that he can stay in Shanghai Shenhua, which was once limited in salary, is the best proof.
When asked by a reporter from the "Football" newspaper "who is the best among the Chinese players", Basogo blurted out and said the names of four people without thinking. The four Chinese players are: Wu Lei, Yu Hanchao, Wu Xi, and Wang Shangyuan. Regarding Wu Lei's evaluation, Basogo said that he is the most talented one among Chinese players; when it comes to Yu Hanchao, Basogo believes that Yu Hanchao is self-disciplined, extremely dedicated, and professional, Yu Hanchao is unmatched in the Chinese Super League, and he is the top three player among all players he has seen (including European and American players). Wu Xi is the best midfielder in China, while Wang Shangyuan is characterized by diligence and a sense of responsibility.
In the same way, Basogo's words must have come from the heart. There are all kinds of signs that he will leave the Chinese Super League soon, and Shanghai Shenhua will most likely not renew his contract, so there is no need for him to please anyone. His evaluation of Wu Lei, Yu Hanchao, Wu Xi, and Wang Shangyuan, four local Chinese players, is completely based on his daily impression, so it is very objective and realistic. Especially for the evaluation of the veteran Hanchao, I believe that no one will have any objections, because in terms of professionalism and self-discipline, Yu Hanchao is indeed the first active player in China, comparable to the retired former national football captain Zheng Zhi. If he weren't very self-disciplined, he wouldn't have been over 36 years old, and he would have become the "savior" of Shanghai Shenhua again and again.
