Wu Lei, Guo Tianyu…. are the Chinese football players on the reserve team in Europe that cause the most regret for fans. The other names on this list are also not surprising.
The second economy in the world, with more than 1 billion people, but Chinese football has never been highly appreciated. During this period, the country’s football federation invested very heavily. But is that an opportunity for Chinese players to go abroad and shine? Colatv learn this.
Number 1. Wu Lei is a reserve at Espanyol
After 4 years playing in Spain for Espanyol, Wu Lei has now returned to the domestic tournament with Shanghai Port. The Espanyol team terminated the striker’s contract two years early so the player became a free agent. Espanyol no longer feels that Wu Lei is a necessary match at this time.
The time spent on the bench at Espanyol is too long, the opportunity to play is not much. Since joining the Catalan team, he has only scored 1 goal and played 457 minutes in La Liga. The number 1 star of Chinese football at this time also suffered the same fate as Quang Hai or other Vietnamese players.
No. 2. Striker Guo Tianyu
According to the announcement from Vizela Club, Guo Tianyu (Sino-Vietnamese transliteration: Quach Dien Vu) is on the payroll of this club. Vizela is a Portuguese team that was promoted when it ranked 2nd in the Portuguese first division last season. After 19 rounds this season, they are still in a good position on the rankings.
Quach Dien Vu is a player on the payroll of Shandong Taishan (Shandong Thai Son) on loan at the Vizela club. The player was born in 1999, is 1.92m tall and is considered good in aerial combat ability. With what this player has shown up to now in Europe, this player is also very lackluster.
He is also one of the long-time reserve players at the club in Portugal. There are not many opportunities to play and will definitely have to return to the teams in their hometown to compete.
No. 3. Chinese football player reserve in Europe – Tan Kaiyuan
Earlier this year, Tan Kaiyuan was the next player to head to the old continent in search of opportunities. After trying out with several Serbian teams, the 1m83 midfielder had a chance at Vojvodina. This player appeared in the training session of the team in the Serbian National Championship.
However, the reality is that since joining, the Chinese player has not been able to officially play for even a second. Information from the Chinese press suggests that he continues to be another failure of Chinese football in Europe. Perhaps there will not be many Chinese talents who dare to challenge themselves like the current seniors.
Thus, the general assessment of the situation of Chinese football players playing in Europe can be said to be unsuccessful. They did not have the success they initially set out to achieve.
No. 4. Reserve defender Zheng Zhi is inCeltic
Zheng Zhi or in Chinese, Zheng Chi, can be considered another legend of the Chinese team who once sat on the bench in Europe. This player was born in 1980 and plays as a defender. A Chinese player is currently contributing to Guangzhou Evergrande in the Chinese domestic league.
However, previously when he was still at his peak, this player moved to play at Celtic in Scotland. If you don’t know about this team, they are Scotland’s most successful club. The team regularly participates in the European Cup, but when Trinh Chi plays there, he only sits on the bench.
Although he received a lot of expectations during his peak, Trinh Chi did not have success. It can be concluded that past and present Chinese players are in the same situation as Vietnamese players. They haven’t shown much in Europe yet and everything is just about expectations.
Number 5. Sun Jihai used to be a reserve at Man City
Sun Jihai was one of the first Chinese football players to play in the Premier League. The legend spent 6 years playing for Man City but spent more time as a reserve than on the field. So then this mythreturn to his homeland and serve the national team.
