In the cradle of Evergrande's youth army, Wang Mu's name was once heard, regarded as the rising star of Chinese soccer, known as the "local Pogba". However, who would have guessed that this 20-year-old soccer star would encounter twists and turns on the road to growth? He traveled to the Azores in Portugal and joined a low-level B team called Lusitania, with only 12 league matches throughout the year. It is worth mentioning that Wang Mu, as a mixed-race player, vowed to help the national soccer team to hit the World Cup when he joined the Chinese nationality. However, there is obviously an insurmountable gap between the cruelty of reality and the splendor of dreams.
Born in 2003, Wang Mu's father is from Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province and his mother is an overseas Chinese from Tanzania. Due to his outstanding performance in the back/center forward position and his similar style to Pogba, he has earned the title of "Chinese Pogba". Indeed, the young Wang Mu is good enough to match such a reputation.
As a member of Evergrande's youth training camp, Wang Mu has traveled with the team to Spain several times to further his education and played against the La Liga ladder team. His performance at all levels of the national youth team was also quite bright, becoming a regular in the national team. Sadly, he has not been able to play for Evergrande's first team despite being 19 years old.
Perhaps due to the financial difficulties faced by Evergrande, Wang Mu had to find another way out. According to the German Transfer Market, Wang Mu has officially joined Lusitania B of the Azores in Portugal. This team is located in the Atlantic island far away from the European continent. It's worth noting that Wang Mu will debut this season in the Serra Island Regional League, which involves only three teams and runs six cycles of 12 matches throughout the year. Wang Mu did not get a chance to play in last Saturday's league match as a new face on the bench.
Obviously, the strength of Lusitania B, which Wang Mu joined, is not outstanding. Although it belongs to the Portuguese league system, there is still a big gap between it and the local top teams. As the hope of Chinese soccer, Wang Mu can only sharpen his skills in the distant Azores, which is undoubtedly the regret of the entire Chinese soccer world. Looking ahead, it is expected to see how this young player will be able to shoulder the burden of the national soccer team's impact on the World Cup.
