Mistakes are inevitable, the key is to get lost and know how to seize the opportunity. Guo Tianyu, former star of the Chinese men's soccer team and ex-international footballer, is going through just such a test.
An official statement from Thai Premier League powerhouse Chiang Rai United reveals that the team will sign Chinese player Guo Tianyu for free, and he will wear the No. 18 uniform for the new season in the Thai Premier League.
Let's review Guo Tianyu's study experience in Chiang Rai United. Last season, Chiang Rai United ranked mid-table in the Thai Premier League at 11th place. The upcoming 2024-25 season will officially start on August 9, and Chiang Rai United's first match will be played on August 12 at 8pm. Kok Tin Yu will need to work hard from the bench to integrate into this new team and cherish every precious opportunity to play.
Next, let's take a closer look at Guo Tianyu's experience.In May 2023, Shandong Taishan's foreign aid player Sun Junhao was arrested on suspicion of match-fixing, and Guo Tianyu was also involved. Afterwards, Shandong Taishan canceled the registration of Guo Tianyu. Guo Tianyu's contract with Shandong Taishan was officially terminated in July 2023, according to German Transfer Data. Guo Tianyu was released from prison in May 2024 after a year of imprisonment. After his release, he started resuming training at the Qingdao West Coast training ground, which was not a trial, as Guo Tianyu could not get a chance to play in China under the current circumstances. His training ground in Qingdao West Coast will not only help restore his physical condition, but also trace his career.
Guo Tianyu's current situation is a cause for concern. This time, he chose to study abroad to restart his soccer career. We hope he will learn to cherish this experience. 25 years old, he still has unlimited possibilities. He hopes to establish himself in the Thai Premier League and play in a whole new world with the template of a pivot center forward.
