Guo Tianyu's Portuguese Premier League debut highlights
Wu Lei (1979-), Chinese footballer
After scoring in La Liga, 23-year-old Guo Tianyu officially started his study abroad career in the Portuguese Premier League, where Vizela faced Braga in the 29th round of the Portuguese Premier League on April 11, Guo Tianyu came on as a substitute in the 68th minute, and in only 27 minutes of playing time, he finished with one shot on goal and sought to cooperate with his teammates many times, while being active on the defensive end of the field.
Born in 1999, Guo Tianyu has been playing for Taishan, and in the 2021 season of the Chinese Super League, he scored 10 goals and became a key player for Taishan to win the championship. At the end of the season, Guo Tianyu was selected by the Football Association's overseas program. Under the promotion of the Football Association, Taishan and Guo Tianyu actively cooperated with each other, and on January 27th, Guo Tianyu formally confirmed that he would join the Portuguese Super League's Vizela on loan. However, due to the processing of the relevant procedures is not smooth, Guo Tianyu until March 25 to complete all the formalities, March 27 to arrive in Portugal, opened the foreign trip.
After two weeks of adaptation and bonding, Guo Tianyu made his Portuguese Superliga debut on April 11th. Vizela is ranked 13th in the Portuguese Superliga and is still under relegation pressure, while Braga is ranked 4th in the Portuguese Superliga and is significantly stronger than Vizela overall. In the match, Braga took the lead in the 39th minute, and in the 44th minute, Braga's Oliveira was sent off with a red card, giving Vizela a numerical advantage. In the 68th minute, Guo Tianyu came on as a substitute and made his Portuguese Premier League debut.
Guo Tianyu's field position remained as a center forward, and Vizela, playing with an extra man on the field, was aggressive in attacking and going all out to tie the game. Making his debut in the Portuguese Superliga, Guo Tianyu struggled to adapt to the rhythm, he first gave the ball to his teammates after he came on the field, but his teammates' shots were blocked by the defenders. In the 78th minute, Guo Tianyu got his first chance to shoot in front of the goal, after his teammates cooperated on the right side and passed to the center, Guo Tianyu in front of the goal was interfered by the opponent's defender, and his shot was deflected out of the goal, and he couldn't seize this chance.
In the 85th minute, Guo Tianyu fell to the ground after getting the ball in front of the penalty area, the referee didn't blow the foul, Guo Tianyu got up and immediately participated in the return defense, he ran all the way from the front of the opponent's penalty area to the home penalty area, interfering with the opponent's attack, the return defense of this 80-meter dash also showed Guo Tianyu's positive attitude. Overall, Guo Tianyu did his best in his 27 minutes of playing time, but he hasn't played in an official game in 4 months and still needs time to adjust to the game, which is also a process of adaptation and integration for him.
According to the schedule, Vizela's next match is on April 17th at 1:00 am, away to Belém, a bottom-ranked team in the Portuguese Superliga, and Vizela will have to fight for 3 points on the road, and Guo Tianyu should have the chance to play, so I expect him to do better in the match. There are still 5 rounds of matches left in this season's Portuguese Superliga, and Guo Tianyu's loan period is until June 30th, so if he wants to continue to stay in the world in the future, these 5 matches are also very important. Of course, for the 23-year-old Guo Tianyu, this age is still to fight for more opportunities to play, if the end of this season's Portuguese Premier League can not continue to stay in the ocean, will return to the Taishan team to continue to play in the Chinese Super League.
