As we all know, in recent years, the biggest problem of our national football team is the talent gap, not enough youth. 85-89 generation of players want to retreat, but can not retreat. The ability of young players can't keep up, can never take over. Because of this, the average age of the main lineup of the national football team was once more than 30 years old, becoming a twilight team without any vitality. Moreover, in order to solve the problem of broken talent, our football association even started the naturalization era. However, unfortunately, our naturalized players did not help the national football team to succeed. This actually tells us the truth that iron needs to be hard.
But as we all know, youth training is a long-term investment program, so it takes time to add talent. Fortunately, over the last two seasons, the golden era has ended and the big foreigners have left, so a lot of places are empty. So our local players, especially the local young players, are starting to get more opportunities in the league, including some young players who are starting to grow rapidly when given the chance, which gives us hope for succession. For example, striker Zhang Yuning, midfielder Yan Dinghao and defender Zhu Chenjie.
Of course, if there are only these newcomers certainly not enough to take over. The Chinese Super League needs to develop more good young players for our Chinese soccer to have hope. Just recently on the German Transfer Market, a leading soccer authority, we summarized the most anticipated young players in the Chinese Super League after the 2022 season, and one young player's inclusion caught our special attention. He is 21-year-old Harbour youngster Liu Zhuyun.
As a matter of fact, youngster Liu Zhuyun represented Shanghai Harbour in the AFC Champions League back in 2020 and performed well. he also represented Harbour in the league in the 2021 season and scored two goals. However, we weren't very happy with his performance as we found Liu Zhuyun a bit lost. While he was still active running up front, he could never catch up with the offense and often ran the wrong side of the field or ran heavy. Watching the kid work hard but with average results really worried him.
However, that bad situation changed last year after he went to Europe with the Olympic team. At that time, the Olympic team went to Europe to train and play against many local teams in Croatia. Liu Zhuyun, a player with a lot of experience in the Chinese Super League, was naturally the first choice for the team's offense. Liu Zhuyun played a lot of matches and his goals in some of the matches helped the Olympic team. This time Liu Zhuyun's haul was not small.
What surprised us more is that Liu Zhuyun changed after returning to the Chinese Super League, he started to understand that scoring and assisting in the game. He plays faster, runs more sensibly, and his nose in front of the box is getting more sensitive. Isn't this the result of playing in Europe for three months?
It was because of his great improvement in the second half of the league that the German Transfer put him on the deserving list, and the German Transfer increased Liu Zhuyun's value to 200,000 euros, which was the second highest of all the players who made the list. As you can see, the German Transfer still recognizes the progress of Liu Zhuyun.
