A few days ago, in an exclusive interview with the media, Du Yuezheng, the national Olympic striker, has confirmed that he will officially go to the Portuguese league to stay abroad. Du's new club is the Portuguese youth force of Ponti Vargus, which is the fifth division. Fans familiar with the Portuguese league system know that the fifth tier is an out-and-out amateur league. Therefore, fans do not understand Du Yuezheng's choice to go to the Portuguese amateur league to stay abroad. After all, the level of the Portuguese amateur league is definitely not as good as the middle and second divisions.
Du Yuezheng used to be the focus of the Shenzhen team's training, and began to play in the first team in the 2022 season in the Chinese Super League and FA Cup. Du Yuezheng played a total of 42 games for the Shenzhen team in two seasons, which is also a very dazzling data among domestic post-05 players. It's just that Du Yuezheng, who is a domestic 05 striker, didn't even score a goal in 42 games.
You must know that Du Yuezheng is a serious striker, and he has not scored a goal in 42 games for the Shenzhen team, which is indeed a little unreasonable. The only goal that impressed fans in Du Yuezheng's career was to skip the 01 National Olympic team and play in the warm-up match against Malaysia. Du Yuezheng scored a very beautiful goal in this game, which made many fans start to notice him. At the same time, this goal left a deep impression on Cheng Yaodong, the coach of the National Olympic team, and laid a solid foundation for him to be selected for the 23-man list of the Olympic preliminaries.
Although, Du Yuezheng did not score in the Shenzhen team playing in the Chinese Super League and the FA Cup. However, if the 18-year-old goes to the first and second divisions, there will definitely be teams rushing to get it. In this case, why did Du Yuezheng insist on choosing to play in the Portuguese amateur league? From the perspective of Du Yuezheng's personal development, he may want to go to the European league to feel the atmosphere of staying abroad first while he is not young. If Du Yuezheng can play in the Portuguese fifth division, it will be a great improvement to play in the Portuguese second division in the future.
You must know that Yang Liyu, who was once selected for the national football team, also started to play famous in the Portuguese Second Division. Including Yu Dabao, the captain of the National Security Meritorious Service, has also played in the Portuguese Second Division. These two players have been nurtured by the Portuguese second division, and they are even more handy when they come back to play in the Chinese Super League. Therefore, Du Yuezheng wants to come to the Portuguese League for further study first, and if he can start playing in the Portuguese Second Division and even the Portuguese League and the Portuguese Super League in one step, it is naturally something he can't ask for. If Du Yuezheng can't play in the Portuguese league and can be edified in the European League, it will also be very good for him to return to the Chinese Super League. I hope that Du Yuezheng will gain a firm foothold in the Portuguese professional league as soon as possible through his own efforts.
