The French Football League has introduced a number of Chinese players, the most famous of which is the former international Li Jinyu who joined the French Ligue 1 Nancy team that year. Subsequently, Zhang Jiaqi joined the French second division Le Mans, and Zhang Jiaqi also made many appearances on behalf of Le Mans in the French second league. Then Zhang Xiuwei joined Lyon in Ligue 1 and made his debut in the French League on behalf of Lyon's B generation. The most regrettable thing is Wang Chu, one of the "Three Lesser Mace".
Now, the two Chinese-funded teams in Ligue 2 are likely to bring in Chinese players again. Troyes, who are 17th in Ligue 2, are now almost certain to be relegated to Ligue 3. Troyes, a Chinese-funded team that was in Ligue 1 last season, was relegated from Ligue 1 to Ligue 2 last season and is now relegated to the next level. According to media sources, Troyes, as a Chinese-funded team, is very keen to sign a Chinese player. Now that Troyes has been relegated to Ligue 3, it is very difficult to sign a Chinese international, and if Troyes wants to sign the future hope of Chinese football, it is still very possible.
It is reported that a number of players of the national Olympic team, Wang Yudong, Bai Helamu, Tao Qianglong, Jia Feifei, and Mutalifu, are likely to have entered the list of candidates for Fabingtrua. Although Ligue C is not as good as Ligue 1, today's Chinese players can only go to leagues like Ligue C to have more opportunities to play.
Ligue 2 Troyes
Auxerre, another Chinese-funded team in Ligue 2, currently occupy the top spot with 70, and it is only a matter of time before they return to Ligue 1 next season. It's no secret that Auxerre wants to bring in Chinese players. In fact, AJERRE once introduced a Chinese player, Ji Xiaoxuan, who was the MVP of the Chinese League back then. Ji Xiaoxuan made one appearance in Ligue 2 at that time, made three appearances in the French Cup, scored one goal, and made seven appearances for Auxerre B in the French fifth division, scoring one goal.
Last year, Auxerre wanted to introduce international players Zhang Yuning, Dai Weijun, Wu Lei, and Zhu Chenjie. Later, it was said that Wu Lei's physical confrontation was not suitable for Ligue 1 at all, so Auxerre had to give up. Now Auxerre is about to return to Ligue 1, the introduction of Chinese players is on the agenda, and a number of international players are likely to have entered Auxerre's sights, Zhang Yuning, Xie Pengfei, Dai Weijun. AJL Auxerre may think that Chinese players who have stayed abroad in Europe have the advantage and can integrate into the team faster and easier.
Ligue 2 Auxerre
It is reported that these two Chinese-funded French B teams want to introduce Chinese players, and if it is fast, it is estimated that there will be Chinese players to join in the summer window this year, and if it is slow, it is estimated that there will be Chinese players to join in the winter window this year. If there are 2 or 3 Chinese players playing in Ligue 1 or Ligue 2, it will be of great help for the national football team to participate in the top 18 of the Asian region next year and impact the 2026 World Cup.
In any case, if Chinese players can go to the French league, whether it is Ligue 1, Ligue 2, or Ligue C. As long as we can go to Europe to stay abroad, we should support and encourage it. Do you think Chinese players can play the main role in Ligue C and Ligue 1?
