Why is it becoming more and more difficult for Chinese players to stay abroad? It is difficult to integrate into the circle, not just a horizontal dish

Every time the national football team is defeated, everyone will reflect. Behind the continuous decline of the national football team's record in recent years, Chinese football and international exchanges are gradually decreasing, and everyone is also reflecting on why there are fewer and fewer foreign players in recent years, and why is it so difficult for Chinese players to stay abroad?

In fact, this problem can be divided into five dimensions:

The first dimension is that you can go out but don't really want to go out, or you have already established yourself in a foreign country and want to come back on your own initiative.

The representative figure is Hao Junmin, and Feng Xiaoting and Huang Bowen also belong to a similar situation.

When leaving Schalke 04, Hao Junmin received invitations from a number of European clubs. At that time, if Hao Junmin chose to go to the Eredivisie, the other party was willing to provide him with the main position. If he goes to other clubs in the big five leagues, he can also compete for a main position. But when Hao Junmin was in Schalke 04, his off-court social circle was mainly a small Chinese circle dominated by local Chinese restaurant owners.

He likes to play but can't integrate into the circle of foreigners in the local area, and he doesn't have much fun in the small circle of Chinese, which is the main reason why he wants to come back.

Of course, the third brother chose TEDA as the first choice when he returned to China that year, and he took the initiative to find Li Guangyi. But he walked freely, and it was impossible for TEDA to pay for him back, and in the end it was Luneng who paid for it.

And Feng Xiaoting and Huang Bowen's situation in South Korea is also similar to Hao Junmin - they have the ability to gain a foothold in Jeonbuk, but because of the family, because Jeonbuk wants to cash out at a high price, and Evergrande does give too much, they will come back with a boat.

The second dimension - I want to get out, but the club is dead or alive.

Representative figure Zhang Linpeng.

At that time, Chelsea's purchase of Zhang Linpeng was in a uproar, because his level was indeed unlikely to play the main role in the Premier League giants, and Chelsea and Evergrande did not agree on the repurchase terms, which also made Evergrande insist that Zhang Linpeng went to Chelsea as a conspiracy to export to domestic sales. But Chelsea was not the only European club that wanted to buy Zhang Linpeng back then.

After Lippi left Evergrande, Inter asked Evergrande about Zhang Linpeng's price code through Lippi Jr., and Evergrande's response was that less than 8 million euros was exempt from talking, and Inter did not follow up as soon as he heard it.

Before the Spaniards wanted to buy Wu Lei, they wanted to introduce Chinese players to open up the Chinese market as early as 16 years, and the target candidate was Zhang Linpeng. And the Spaniards could accept all the terms such as the rebate plan added by Evergrande in the contract, but in terms of transfer fees, Evergrande proposed 10 million euros as soon as it came up; In the future, the Spaniards were taken away from SIPG, and Wu Lei, who had just won the Super League Golden Boot + MVP at that time, only spent 2 million euros.

It can be said that 2 million euros is the limit of the European market's price perception of top Chinese players. The 8 million euros that Evergrande gave Zhang Linpeng back then were put in the European transfer market, which is a manifestation of insincerity to release people.

The third dimension - I tried to integrate, but the timing of my trip was not good, and my ability was a little less interesting, and I had to come back in the end.

Representative figures Zhang Chengdong and Zhang Xizhe.

Zhang Chengdong went to Spain when the team's preparation period was almost complete, which caused him not to have enough time to integrate into the manager's technical and tactical system, and he only had one chance to come back on loan in the league in half a year.

Zhang Xizhe is at the end of our season, and other people's season is in progress, and when they prepare for the league on a daily basis, he has to start with physical fitness. Finally, the physical fitness was pulled up and I was able to keep up with the daily training of others, but the competition in the Wolfsburg midfield at that time was indeed too fierce. Competing with the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Schurrle, Perisic and Trent Alexander-Arnold, he really can't compete.

And Zhang Yuning and Wu Lei in previous years, they have also been out for many years and have made all their efforts. But in the face of huge competitive pressure, I can't bear to come back!

The fourth dimension - the level is too poor, and there is no chance to even go out.

This category of players can be said to abound.

In 21 years, the Football Association discussed a list of foreign players, and the women's football players on that list have all gone out one after another, but only Guo Tianyu has been loaned out of the men's football players on that list. And the reason why Guo Tianyu was able to go out at that time was related to the fact that Vizela itself is a Chinese brokerage company holding club, and he scored 10 goals in the league in 21 years and showed good potential.

As for the other players on the list, Gao Tianyi, Duan Liuyu, Zhang Yuning, Wei Shihao, Duan Liuyu, Chen Binbin, Yang Liyu, Zhong Yihao, Zhu Chenjie, etc., it was the Football Association that used all kinds of connections, and even found the owner of the Chinese-funded club, but still failed to get out!

The fifth dimension is to send young players to the lower leagues of Spain and Portugal.

What you think is a dream, but it's actually speculation!

Starting from the Portuguese study plan in the Weidi era and Wanda's Spanish study abroad plan, there have been a lot of young Chinese players in the lower leagues of Spain and Portugal.

Under the momentum of the media, many fans once regarded these players as the hope of Chinese football. But in the beginning, these young players who played in the lower leagues of Spain and Portugal did not receive salaries from the clubs, their salaries were paid by agents, and even their playing opportunities were bought by agents with money, and most of them were invitational tournaments, and there were few opportunities to play in the local official youth leagues.

Starting with the acquisition of clubs such as Oriental Dragon and Lechon Ish by Chinese agents, the ownership of the clubs played by many young Chinese players in Spain and Portugal is in the hands of Chinese agents. Even some Chinese Super League club presidents and well-known domestic players have their own clubs in Spain and Portugal.

And the purpose of these agents, well-known players, and CEOs in investing in low-level clubs abroad is self-evident! On the day many young players are sent out, the brokerage companies have already begun to think about what kind of price to use to get them back in the future. And in order to get what they want, often the national youth and the national Olympic Games have become the direction of efforts. Plating a gold, brushing enough resumes in the national brand, and then selling it back, this is much better than the price of a blank piece of paper before going abroad. And these returnee players who were sold back during the Jinyuan football period not only got very good treatment personally, but the brokerage company also made a lot of money!

As a matter of fact, youth training is the foundation for the development of a country's football, the league is the foundation, and studying abroad is the channel for development; as for naturalization, it is a supplement! But when staying abroad has turned from a dream into a business, can such a stay abroad still become an important channel for Chinese football to bottom out and rebound?
