On January 26, 2023, a heavy news spread quickly in Beijing time. Renowned media personality Zhao Zhen disclosed on social media that soccer player Guo Tianyu was about to step out of the country and start his career in the overseas market. Immediately after, Song Chengliang, a reporter from Punch News, also revealed that in addition to Guo Tianyu, one of Harbor's rising stars will also join a Chinese-funded team in Europe.
Zhao Zhen spoke bluntly, "Isn't everyone asking why Guo Tianyu didn't go to Japan? Because he chose Europe!"
Shortly afterward, soccer commentator Bai Guohua also confirmed the news of Guo Tianyu's stay on social media, revealing, "According to reliable sources, Guo Tianyu is about to join a Portuguese Premier League club, and more details will be kept in mind."
Guo Tianyu has performed well for Shandong Taishan this season, becoming the centerpiece of Hao Wei's tactical system, and his growth rate has been remarkable. In 22 CSL matches, he scored 10 goals and contributed 1 assist, making him the team's top scorer this season. Guo Tianyu's pivotal role on the pitch is remarkable, and his physical quality is excellent, so there are high calls for him to be selected for the national soccer team. However, the selection of the national football team but did not report to the national team, whether it is really as Zhao Zhen said, is about to start the career of staying in the ocean, has become a hot topic of discussion among fans.
Song Chengliang also revealed another player who will be staying overseas on social media, writing, "Guo Tianyu is going to Europe? Congratulations congratulations, tomorrow the national football team against Japan, we are envious of Japan to stay in the ocean players more, in addition to small Guo, a new star of the dock is also going to stay in the ocean a Chinese-funded team, zero transfer fee, or for the dock to point out, and then about the second transfer dividends, and the return of the country must go back to the old owner, stay in the ocean players the more always a good thing."
A fan asked in the comment section whether the player was Liu Zhurun or Jia Bo Yan, to which Song Chengliang replied only one word: "Yes." This shows that the player should be either Liu Zhurun or Jia Bo Yan.
Liu Zhurun, aged 20, plays as a striker and has made 10 appearances in the Chinese Super League this season, starting 6 times and scoring 2 goals. In the AFC Cup, he made 6 appearances, starting once and scoring 3 goals. With his outstanding performance, he was also selected as a candidate for China's Golden Boy Award, with Wu Shaocong and Zhu Chenjie competing with him. Although he has not made many appearances, Jabo Diem is a regular on the national ladder and is the youngest player in the history of the Seaport team to make an appearance, having been born in November 2003 and making his debut in the Chinese Super League at the age of 16 years and 9 months.
Song Seung-ryong then announced the identity of the stay-at-home player, writing, "Jabo Diem will join Grasshopper Football Club." It is worth mentioning that Guoan defender Li Lei had previously joined the team first and made his debut in a warm-up match. (End)
