Montenegrin striker DeJan, who is about to turn 40 in a month, has scored in two consecutive AFC Champions League games. In the past 12 years, he has represented 4 clubs in the AFC Champions League, played the doors of 20 Asian clubs, and scored 38 goals, becoming the first top scorer in the history of the AFC Champions League!
In the game on the evening of the 27th, De Young easily broke through the Osaka Sakura team goal after receiving a pass from his teammate, and completed the goal again after breaking the Thai Super Thai Port team goal in the first round. Although Hong Kong Jiezhi lost the game, Deyang surpassed South Korean striker Lee Tong-kook, who retired last year, to become the striker with the most goals in AFC Champions League history. And he has just won the Golden Boot in the 2020-2021 Hong Kong Super League, and even at the age of 40, he is still a sword.
Since his first AFC Champions League for K-League Seoul FC in 2009, De Young has scored in the AFC Champions League for teams such as Suwon Samsung, Beijing Guoan and Hong Kong Jiezhi. In the past 12 years, De Young has scored 38 goals in 70 games in 8 seasons in the AFC Champions League, surpassing Li Tongguo's 37 goals and rising to the top of the AFC Champions League all-time top scorer list. Since joining the K-League in 2007, De Young has played for 15 years in the East Asian South Korea, Chinese Super League and Hong Kong Super League, and has already surpassed the 300-goal mark in all competitions, making him the most successful foreign aid in the history of East Asian football.
Of the 38 AFC Champions League goals, he scored 25 for Seoul FC, nine for Suwon Samsung and two for Beijing Guoan and Jiezhi. 38 goals have broken the goal of 20 Asian clubs. Although he played for a short time in the Chinese Super League, he still left a good reputation in Chinese football with a body shape that was very similar to Ibrahimovic.
In the upcoming group stage of the third round of the AFC Champions League, Guangzhou will accept the challenge of veteran Deyang. He is the most successful foreign striker in Asian football, something that even Muric, Elkeson and Gaulat cannot match. De Young has won the K-League Golden Boot three times, and although he has not won the Golden Boot in the AFC Champions League, he can become a high-profile super scorer as long as he participates in the season.
He is old and has "pensioned" in Hong Kong, but his state is still hot. De Young's legendary career continues, and perhaps he does not plan to retire after this year, and the AFC Champions League goal record is expected to continue. In the past 15 years, he has scored 313 goals in The Asian arena, beating all the famous goalscorers in Asian football in the same period. To say that he is the number one foreign aid striker in Asian history should be uncontroversial.
