According to “Football News” reporter Chen Yong reported that as the preparations for the national football team have turned to the 2023 Asian Cup and the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, after the Chinese Football Association previously launched the women’s football plan to stay abroad, the men’s football plan to stay abroad has once again been put on the agenda. . The latest news shows that Li Lei is expected to be the forerunner of this overseas plan-the Chinese Super League to be restarted will be the last few matches of left back Li Lei playing for Guoan. The expiration of the contract at the end of the year will start a journey abroad, his destination. It is the grasshopper team of the Swiss Super League team.
In addition to the original dispatch of local players abroad, the Football Association is also considering arrangements for naturalized players to stay overseas-of course, a premise is to continue to retain the naturalized players and their identity for the Chinese national team.
In the middle of the 2021 season, before the top 12 matches, the Chinese Football Association launched a new round of overseas travel plans. The goal is obviously not only for the current World Cup qualifiers, but also for the 2023 Asian Cup and 2026 World Cup qualifiers. . It’s just that the Chinese Football Association took the lead in launching the women’s football plan to stay abroad. Three female football players, Shen Menglu, Shen Mengyu and Tang Jiali, took the lead in studying abroad.
On July 12, 2021, Shen Monroe, a 19-year-old U19 national team member, joined the Portuguese women’s football team, the traditional strong team of Portugal Sports. The contract was for three years. However, Shen Monroe fell into injury afterwards. On October 31, Shen Monroe returned and took the lead. In the B team to adapt to the game, the result was a hat trick, and then Shen Monroe won the opportunity to play for the first team. On July 21, 2021, Shen Mengyu, a member of the women’s national team, joined the Celtics Club of the Super League. On September 5, Shen Mengyu made his debut in the first round of the Scottish Women’s Super League. In the second round, he sent 2 assists to help the team 2 to 2. Draw with the defending champion Glasgow City Women’s Football Team. In the third round, Shen Mengyu assisted again. In the fifth round, Shen Mengyu scored the first goal of his overseas career. In December, in the Scottish Women’s League Cup final, Shen Mengyu came off the bench and helped the Celtics beat Glasgow City 1-0. Women’s football won the championship.
Also on July 21st, the 26-year-old Tang Jiali joined the Premier League Tottenham Women’s Football Team. In the warm-up debut, Tang Jiali scored and helped Tottenham beat Shen Mengyu’s Celtic Women’s Football Team 6-1, September 26 , Tang Jiali came off the bench and assisted her teammate in the 83rd minute of the third round of the English Women’s Premier League. She defeated Reading 1-0 to achieve a three-game winning streak. On October 14, the first round of the English Women’s League Cup group stage, Tang Jiali Started and scored, helping Tottenham beat Charlton 1-0. On October 23, Tang Jiali was elected as the AFC overseas player “Best Player of the Week”.
During this period, there was news that Duan Liuyu was expected to stay abroad. This news was indeed not made out of nothing, but due to multiple reasons, Duan Liuyu’s plan to stay abroad did not take place quickly. Subsequently, the European summer transfer window was closed, and men’s football staying abroad could only wait for the opening of the winter transfer window.
But the situation of men’s football is really not optimistic. Take Wu Lei as an example. He is the top player in the country, and he has also been a highlight for a period of time when he first made the Spaniard. But as the team descended into the second division, Wu Lei failed to show how superb ability, gradually lost the main position, this season in La Liga is also in trouble. If more local players want to stay overseas, it is almost impossible to have the ability to play in the top European league clubs. Even in the sub-leagues of the five major leagues, most of the nationals, especially the young ones, may not be able to gain a firm foothold. This is also one of the reasons why the Chinese Football Association’s plan to promote men’s football players to study abroad has been hindered.
Of course, the plan to stay abroad also involves the release of some clubs. The Chinese Football Association will also fully communicate with the clubs to resolve obstacles in this area as much as possible. If there are no accidents, we will most likely see male football players overseas at the winter transfer window in January next year.
In fact, while considering the local players to stay abroad, the Chinese Football Association is also considering the outlet of naturalized players. After the match with Australia, the naturalized player Alan directly chose to return to Brazil for vacation. After returning to China, Exxon decided to return to Brazil with his family. In addition, due to the difficulties of the Guangzhou Football Club, Luo Guofu, Jiang Guangtai, including Fernando, may have problems with their contracts with the Guangzhou team.
This situation has made people doubt about the future of naturalized players. Of course, there is actually another choice for naturalized players, which is to choose a new Chinese Super League club to join in the winter transfer window. Although their age is relatively old and their strength is no longer the original, their overall ability is still good. More importantly, they are the status of internal aid, they still have a certain chance to find a home in the Chinese professional league. However, it seems more difficult for all naturalized players to find their next home.
But in fact, there is another option for naturalized players, which is to stay abroad, but still play for the national football team. If the Chinese Football Association has overall plans for their future, such as arranging to go to Europe to study abroad (the advantage is that it is more convenient to rush back to Asia or play games in China), and at the same time provide certain subsidies to their salaries, these players may continue to play for the national football team. It’s not a big problem, especially for relatively young players like Jiang Guangtai and Fernando, whose value is still very important to the national football team.Return to Sohu to see more
