The last time he appeared on the pitch was the 2023 season. He hasn't played in 16 months and needs to regain his form. Chiang Rai United is a veteran team of the Thai Premier League and has participated in the AFC Champions League. Based on the current AFC Champions League quota for Chinese Super League teams, there is a good chance that Chiang Rai United and Shandong Taishan will have a direct conversation in the AFC Champions League in the future. It could be a very delicate scenario if this scene occurs here.
Guo Tianyu is 25 years old and this is the peak of his career. Unfortunately, he won't be able to return to play in the Chinese Super League in the future, but he needs to pay for his mistakes. The Thai Premier League season hasn't started yet, and the first round will begin on August 12th. Guo Tianyu is expected to make his debut. He is not the first Chinese player to play in the Thai Premier League. In the past, many Chinese players have played in the Thai Premier League, but not in recent seasons. Guo Tianyu's passive study abroad has also allowed some other similar players to find their way out. In terms of technical characteristics, Guo Tianyu is a perfect fit for the Thai Premier League.
This is not the first time he has played soccer abroad.In 2022, he played on loan for Portuguese super team Vizeca, to which he is no stranger. Guo Tianyu himself spoke out on social media, apologizing to his teammates, fans, Shandong Taishan, the national team, and the head coach who nurtured him, hoping that everyone would give him another chance. But he has no hope of returning to the Chinese Super League. Fans were forgiving of him, thinking that the prodigal son had returned and hated him. Anyway, now that he is back, as a Chinese player, he wants to prove himself in the Thai Super League and take the consequences for his mistakes.
