In the past years, the Chinese women's soccer team's move to study abroad was a bright spot for the world, reflecting the team's rising strength. At one time, as many as ten international players went abroad for further study, and the rest of the team's lineup, except for the goalkeeper, was able to line up a first-team lineup. Tu's growth is to fill the team's long absence of center forward vacancy. However, the road to study abroad is complicated, involving personal struggle, eligibility, transfer negotiations, and sometimes chance. Therefore, it is not easy for the Chinese women's soccer team to study abroad.
Just when the outside world is full of expectations for the expansion of the women's overseas army, a piece of news like a bolt from the blue - Shanghai women's soccer officially announced the return of two international players Tang Jiali and Xiao Yuyi. If Tang Jiali can not continue to stay in the ocean due to visa problems, Xiao Yuyi's sudden return is undoubtedly shocking. They joined the team in November 2022, just three months before they were able to adapt.
The Shanghai women's soccer team gave an explanation for Xiao Yuyi's return. On the one hand, when Xiao Yuyi went abroad to study, the main lineup of her new owner Adelaide United was already mature. Although Xiao Yuyi did not give up, the result was that she did not get the chance to start; on the other hand, the Chinese women's soccer team needed to prepare for the World Cup. Xiao Yuyi chose to terminate her studies and return to the Shanghai Women's Football Team, with the intention of maintaining her position as an international starter through more matches. However, this explanation seems to be a bit reluctant and difficult to justify.
Firstly, it is the norm for the starting lineup of a new owner to mature, and new recruits must show their strength. This reasoning not only applies to foreign countries, but also domestic league transfers, which should not be taken into consideration as a professional player. Secondly, although the preparation for the World Cup is an important task, overseas players are still struggling hard, and the above reason as a reason to give up studying abroad seems too far-fetched.
Finally, as the leader of China's women's soccer team in the Australian Premier League, 27-year-old Xiao Yuyi deserves to set an example for future generations. She should not give up lightly, and she should not be deterred by injuries. The fact that she gave up after just three months is mind-boggling to the outside world. On the other hand, Wu Chengshu, who is also in the Australian Super League, despite suffering a serious fracture, insisted on treatment for a long period of time, and is now back in the game, winning the world's respect.
