Four years ago, Dauran Maeda scored one goal in six appearances in men's soccer at the Asian Games. At that Asian Games, Wei Shihao scored four goals in four games, a statistic that does far surpass Takumi Minamino's. Two years ago, Dairan Maeda could only score three goals in 23 games in the Japanese J-League, but Dairan Maeda had a breakout season last year. He scored 23 goals in one season, won the J-League Golden Boot award, and ended up studying abroad to join Celtic in the Scottish Premier League. There is no doubt that in recent years, Dairan Maeda has far surpassed Wei Shihao, which is the gap between Chinese and Japanese soccer. Spencer Prior puts it bluntly: essentially, this is the difference between the exercise value of the Chinese Super League and the J-League!
The renowned Oceania coach said it was the Japanese J-League that was not much worse than the European league in terms of training value and influence, so Maeda stood out from the Japanese league and quickly gained a foothold in Europe. At present, the gap between the training value of the Chinese Super League and the European league is too great! It has to be said that, as Spencer Prior said, the Chinese Super League sent out the golden boot Wu Lei at its peak. Now the Premier League is in decline and the FA have forgotten the basics. There may be nothing wrong with betting on overseas, but the soil for nurturing overseas talent may be the most important! (Old Qiu's Chinese Super League Commentary)
