After the report from the Rwandan media "New Era", the news was forwarded by many domestic media. "New Era" broke the news: Changchun Yatai will sign Rayon Sports's 23-year-old Ghanaian striker Salpont, who has just won the league's top scorer in Rwanda for a transfer fee of $65,000. And this price is indeed unexpected. Such a low transfer fee, looking at the current Chinese Super League, is indeed unexpected. Of course, there is still some gap compared to the free transfer. But after seeing this news, some fans can't help but sigh: at this price, one of the leg hairs of our Chinese international is more expensive than him.
It is understood that the 23-year-old Ghanaian striker Sal Feng, who has been focusing on academic performance, has only used football as a leisure and entertainment. It was not until the age of 16 that he had always wanted to become an architect that he gradually discovered the inseparability between him and football. Subsequently, under the guidance of his mentor, he participated in formal training. And eventually in the Rwandan league, it became the league Golden Boot. Sal Feng's experience reminds me of Mushekwi, the Zimbabwean shooter who currently plays for Greentown in Zhejiang Province, who was not a footballer before, but played basketball, and was selected for the Zimbabwe youth national team. And it is such a player who has never received professional football training in childhood, who can become a "big killer" based on the Chinese Super League and the Chinese First Division in the future. And their case may be able to provide some more and deeper thinking for the youth training of Chinese football.
The physical fitness and flexibility of African players are still very practical in the face of the Chinese arena. Moreover, most African players have difficult family conditions, and after coming to China, they generally cherish the present. And this also determines that they have a good professional attitude. The reason why Mushekwi has been able to become the most beloved player in the history of Dalian fans is not because of Mushekwi's skills, but because of his character and his loyalty to the team and the city. And I believe that Sal Feng may be able to do the same. Perhaps next year, Sal will become a stunning rainbow in the Chinese First Division.
Although Changchun Yatai is committed to the Chinese First Division, it is affected by economic development and the strength of the team, and there are some lags on the road of football development. However, just like the "old industrial base in northeast China", Changchun Yatai still has a certain background of youth training output system. In terms of knowing talents, the relative vision is also more "poisonous". Sal Feng's value is indeed relatively low, but players such as Fernando, who have just come to the Chinese Super League, are also low and pitiful. Now, outside reports say that Chongqing Siwei resold it to Guangzhou Evergrande for 100 million yuan. From this point of view, the correlation between the level of value and practicality is not particularly large. On the contrary, for the Chinese Super League team, it cost a lot of money, and the result eventually looked away.
As a fan, after the start of the Chinese League One next year, I will pay attention to the performance of Changchun Yatai, mainly to see how the Ghanaian goalscorer performs!
