Recently, the news about Shandong Taishan player Duan Liu Yu's stay in the west has once become a hot topic of discussion in the domestic football circle, especially in the case of Messi's departure and Wu Lei's return to La Liga, this Top European League has once again focused on the attention of Chinese fans.
Today, media person Miao Yuan confirmed: "Duan Liu Yu is about to join Granada, and the trip will be completed as soon as next week." ”
As the best of the u23 players, Duan Liu Yu was given high hopes by many fans, and in many discussions, many friends expressed concern:
Playing in La Liga as soon as you stay in the west, will this starting point be too high? Can Duan Liu Yu really be like Wu Lei and become the main list from the beginning?
But in fact, a small journey to stay in the ocean is not as easy as imagined.
Even if Granada is the middle and lower reaches of La Liga, even if the team is a Chinese-controlled team and is known as the "big cousin" of Chongqing team, in fact, as a professional club, Duan Liu Yu cannot get the "care" of imagination!
Many fans may not know that Granada is not the first time to introduce domestic players, the so-called near the water loutai first to get the month, Chongqing team has 4 people to play there! But strictly speaking, this cannot be called staying in the ocean.
Chongqing players stay in Granada
Compared with Wu Lei, Duan Liu Yu has many natural disadvantages, which also leads to his inability to enter the big list at least from the beginning like Wu Lei, and in order to really get the opportunity to play in la Liga, Xiao Duan must make a good effort.
For Granada in La Liga, Chongqing fans will not be unfamiliar. Whether it is Jiang Lizhang standing in front of the stage, or Later Yi Rentao, like the Chongqing team, the current owner of this La Liga team is Wuhan Contemporary Ming Cheng Group.
Interestingly, like Inter and Jiangsu and Suning, he has been involved in football at home and abroad. And the investment of foreign teams is much higher than that of domestic clubs.
It was with this relationship that Jiang Lizhang, the honorary chairman of Granada, almost brought in Iniesta for the Chongqing team, but due to the emergency suspension within the group, the plan was finally aborted.
In recent years, although Granada's performance has not been stable and once became a "lift", the cultivation of young players in the Chongqing team has never stopped.
At the beginning of 2019, Yuan Mincheng and Wen Tianpeng accepted Granada's invitation and began a month-long study trip to study abroad; later, Chongqing's reserve team goalkeeper Wang Zixiang and reserve midfielder Bai Hetiar also reported to Granada B team to study, and the latter's stay in the ocean was even as long as 1 year, which once made Chongqing fans forget his existence.
Not only that, Granada has always wanted to open up the domestic market. In the winter window of the 2019-2020 season, Granada management has made it clear: trying to bring in a Chinese striker.
At that time, as a representative of young players, Wei Shihao and Yang Liyu had the highest voice, and many media also reported about it. But later we also know that Wei Shihao is not interested in staying in The Ocean again, which also makes many fans feel sorry for it.
So far, only one of the 4 Chongqing players who have been trained by Granada has been kicked out; the other 3, Wen Tianpeng and BaiHetiar, are substitutes, and the reserve team goalkeeper Wang Zixiang has long left the team and disappeared.
In particular, BaiHetiar, who has just returned to Chongqing this season, has not improved too significantly on the field because of studying in the West, although he is a Xinjiang player, but compared with the Chinese Super League's already famous Matijiang and others, there is still a very obvious gap.
Therefore, for Duan Liuyu, who does not have the dominant level of the Chinese Super League, it is still very likely that he will still start from the B team, as his first testing ground, which is undoubtedly crucial for him to adapt to the La Liga environment and the rhythm of the game.
Before Wu Lei stayed in Yangyang, he just took off the word "local", officially crowned the king of the Chinese Super League goalscorer, and helped the then SIPG team win the Chinese Super League championship.
Leaving aside some naturalized players, Wu Lei was the well-deserved first star in China at that time. It is precisely because of the help of this absolute strength that Wu Lei was selected into the main list of the Spaniards as soon as he came up.
And for a star like Wu Lei, if he wants to stay in La Liga well, then he must make a convincing performance in the B team.
With Wu Lei's outstanding performance in the top 40 of the national football team, the Football Association has firmly determined the development direction of "going out". Compared with the costly naturalization project, although the progress of promoting the stay in the ocean is slow, it can really raise the ceiling of Chinese football.
Today, when the Chinese Super League has begun to shrink its investment, it is as long as two years and as short as one and a half years, and those naturalized players in China will face the problem of contract expiration. At that time, the age of naturalization such as Axon and Alan, as well as the possible decline in status, will become the key to whether they can continue to get high salaries.
But in any case, today, when big-name foreign aid is avoided, naturalization is really difficult for people to see the future. Instead of naturalizing those famous veterans in their 30s, it is better to promote the stay in the ocean in a down-to-earth manner.
A few days ago, the Spaniard, who returned to La Liga, made his debut, and although he struggled to play in La Liga, he returned to La Liga Wulei.
When it comes to Wu Lei's progress in recent years, the first is the physical confrontation ability, in the top 40 matches, he did not fall behind in the confrontation with West Asian players, which was really praised.
Finally, regardless of whether Duan Liuyu's journey to stay in Yang can go smoothly, I hope that he is not the last person promoted by the Football Association to stay in Yang.
In a sense, having the courage to give up the domestic comfort zone and go out is a success in itself. When our foreign base is large enough to reach the same size as Japan and South Korea, our football may become the tip of the pyramid of Asian football.
