Since Wu Lei and Li Lei returned to play in the Chinese Super League after ending their overseas careers, the number of Chinese players playing in mainstream European leagues has become smaller and smaller, and the gap with Japan and South Korea has become wider and wider, which is embarrassing. In the Asian Cup at the beginning of this year, there was only one foreign player in the national football team's squad, and he was Wu Shaocong, a former defender of the Guangzhou team. This season, Wu Shaocong plays for Turkey's second-tier league team Youth Union, but due to injury, Wu Shaocong has few appearances.
On May 8, Beijing time, according to the "Little Fox of Leicester City", Wu Shaocong has left the Turkish League Youth United and returned to China, ending the season ahead of schedule. The 24-year-old international has made just 12 appearances for the youth team this season, with his last appearance coming against Eyup on 13 February.
Since then, Wu Shaocong has been excluded from the competition squad by the youth co-coach for a long time and has been reduced to a "water cooler". In recent rounds, Wu Shaocong still can't enter the game list, so far, Wu Shaocong has completely lost the opportunity to play in the Youth Union, so he can only end his loan early and return to China to wait for the next plan of the Turkish Super League team Basakcel.
In fact, Wu Shaocong once stood as the team's main defender at the beginning of this season, but after a red card suspension, Wu Shaocong was reduced to a substitute. finally lifted the ban and made a comeback, and Wu Shaocong was recruited into the Asian Cup squad by the former coach of the national football team, Jankovic. Unfortunately, the national football team was eliminated early after 3 games without a win in the Asian Cup, and Jankovic recruited Wu Shaocong but did not give him 1 minute of playing time.
couldn't play in the national football team, and after returning to the Turkish League, it was even more difficult for Wu Shaocong to get the opportunity to play. Coupled with the troubles of injuries, Wu Shaocong's road to stay abroad has declined all the way, from the main force to the substitute, and then to the lack of the squad, which is really embarrassing.
After Jankovic left class and Ivankovic coached the national football team, Wu Shaocong was not called up and was completely abandoned. Judging from this season's performance, it is difficult for Wu Shaocong to gain a firm foothold in the Turkish League, and it is even more difficult to get a chance to return to the Turkish Super League team Basakser. Perhaps, the only thing in front of Wu Shaocong is to play in the Chinese Super League.
This season, although the Chinese Super League has implemented a 5 foreign aid policy, most of the foreign players introduced by the teams are forwards and midfielders, and there are still many opportunities for domestic defenders. Wu Shaocong, as Cannavaro's favorite general, once was able to find a place in the Guangzhou team, the overlord of the Chinese Super League, and it should be sweet to play football when he returns to China.
It's just a pity that after Wu Shaocong returns to China, the foreign players of the national football team will return to zero again, which is also the current situation of domestic players, even in the second-tier league in Europe, it is difficult to have a foothold.
