The Chinese Super League is currently on hold, due to the sudden change in the national football schedule, there are more uncertainties in the Chinese Super League, in this context, including Shanghai Shenhua, many teams have chosen to take a holiday. The domestic media also revealed that the re-opening of the Chinese Super League will also be postponed to July. In this context, the Chinese Super League U21 League has quietly unfolded, the registration list of each team has been announced, and it is amazing that the most anticipated naturalized rising star has changed to play this youth event, which is another 1 naturalization failure case!
This is Hou Yongyong, who was previously known as Norway's three genius rising stars, because of his Chinese ancestry, hou Yongyong quickly became the focus of attention after the Football Association launched a naturalization plan, and he was also favored by Beijing Guoan and became a member of Beijing Guoan through naturalization. Many people believe that the young Hou Yongyong will become the midfield core of the future Chinese men's football team, and his ability should far exceed that of many Chinese Super League players. However, his development path did not meet expectations!
In the 2019 season, he also played 16 games in the Chinese Super League, contributing 1 goal, while last season he made fewer appearances to 8. This season, Hou Yongyong did not even make 1 appearance, failed to get the recognition of the new head coach Bilic, there is no doubt that the 23-year-old Hou Yongyong lacked the most important opportunity to play, which also made him farther and farther away from the national football team, and never got even 1 opportunity to play for the national football team!
Now, once again, there is a turning point in his fortunes. As the Football Association abolished the reserve league, the previous reserve league was changed to the current U21 Elite League, which was completely to replace the previous reserve league and the U23 league. However, in the list of matches, we see the name of Hou Yongyong, the 23-year-old rising star of Guoan will participate in this competition as an overage player, and Hou Yongyong will probably miss the next Chinese Super League event!
As the former "greatest hope for naturalization", Hou Yongyong's current encounter is indeed a bit sad, although he is still a U23 player this year, but he can't play in the first team of Guoan, and there is indeed a big gap with the expectations of the outside world at that time! I have to say that we look forward to Hou Yongyong being able to become a core member of the Guoan team in the elite league that starts on June 8, returning to people's vision with excellent performance as soon as possible, and not letting the tragedy of injuring Zhongyong repeat itself!
