On June 1, Wei Shihao talked about his study abroad in an interview with CCTV, revealing that he once had the opportunity to play in Levante and Granada.
Wei Shihao: "I don't think I'm good enough to play in the top five leagues right now, 24. and by the age of 25, I feel like I still have a chance to go out after playing in the Chinese Super League. Since there were a lot of super foreigners in the Chinese Super League at that time, if I could score a dozen goals a year, then I could go there too.
In fact, when I was at Evergrande at the time, I had several opportunities to play abroad, such as Levante and Granada. One time was particularly close, I sold my car and packed my bags, but unfortunately I didn't make it to Levante in the end.
But at the moment I don't think I have the ability to go out and play any more, plus I'm older as well, and other people probably wouldn't want a player like that."
