In a recent report, Zhu Yi, the administrator of the German transfer market in Asia, made a detailed statistics on the registration list and total value of each team in Group B of the upcoming U23 Asian Cup, among which the data of the Chinese Olympic Games has attracted some attention. According to statistics, the average age of the Chinese Olympic team is 21.7 years old, the total value has reached 3.05 million euros, and the average value is 133,000 euros. Although this figure is the lowest in the group, the number of foreign players in the Chinese Olympic team and the South Korean Olympic team is the same, both two, which gives some hope.
Although the number of these two overseas players in the Chinese Olympic Games is small, it shows that the influence of the young generation of Chinese football overseas is gradually expanding. This is not only a recognition of the individual ability of the players, but also reflects some positive attempts by Chinese football on the road to internationalization. In comparison, the average age of the South Korean Olympic Games is 22.1 years old, with a total value of 9.675 million euros and an average value of 420,000 euros. The overseas leagues in which two of South Korea's overseas players play also bring a wealth of experience and a higher level of skill to the team.
Although the total and average value of the Chinese Olympic Games is not high, the lower average age of the South Korean Olympic Games shows that Chinese players have more room for growth and development potential. This is very important in the training of youth and young players, which shows the efforts and achievements of Chinese football in cultivating young talents.
The most expensive player in the Chinese Olympic team is Hu Hetao, who is worth 350,000 euros. Although this figure is not outstanding in the international market, Hu Hetao's ability and potential are highly evaluated both inside and outside the team. In comparison, this value can only be ranked ninth among the South Korean Olympic team, which further highlights the gap between the Chinese Olympic team and other top Asian teams in terms of financial resources and talent reserves.
In summary, although the outside world is cautious about the performance of China's Olympic team in the upcoming U23 Asian Cup, the presence of foreign players and the low average age leave a glimmer of hope. The future of Chinese football lies in how to effectively use these young overseas experiences, and how to make better use of them in domestic leagues and trainings to support the long-term development of the national team.
