As the years go by, the camp remains the same while the soldiers change. In the past two seasons, many remarkable foreign players in the Chinese Super League have left the team, including those who left actively and those who left passively. Shandong Taishan's Pele, Shanghai Harbor's Hulk, Guangzhou Evergrande's Paulinho, etc., are among the representatives.
On August 14th, Beijing time, Chinese Super League powerhouse Beijing Guoan officially announced that South Korean foreign aid player Kim Min Ja has officially returned. However, Min-Ja Kim joined Fenerbahce of the Turkish Super League immediately afterward!
After the official announcement from Guoan, Fenerbahce quickly followed suit by announcing the signing of Minjae Kim.
As a matter of fact, Kim Min-jae has made it clear before that he wants to leave the Chinese Super League. Last season, former international footballer Xu Liang, when commenting on Guoan's matches, had repeatedly criticized Kim Min Jae for "being in the right camp but not in the right place", believing that his performance in certain matches was not satisfactory.
In the past few years, many Chinese Super League teams have brought in Korean foreigners, and most of these players are concentrated in the backfield. Guangzhou Evergrande's Park Chi-soo and Kim Young-gwon, Tianjin Tianhai's Song Joo-hyun, and Guangzhou R&F's Zhang Hyun-soo are some of the best.
The Korean media have repeatedly expressed their gratitude to the Chinese Super League, which they believe has trained many defenders for Korea and has been very beneficial in improving the players' abilities. Some Chinese Super League foreign aiders have even been selected for the Korean national team thanks to their outstanding performance in the league.
In fact, Korean players have a very high cost-effective, their price and annual salary is usually not high, but physical fitness, on the field style of tenacity, very dedicated, so by many Chinese Super League teams favor!
