From February 2020 to August 2022, Cao Yangzheng has not stepped foot on the green of an official match for 30 consecutive months since he stepped into Chinese soccer. This situation is undoubtedly doubly embarrassing for him. Seeing that the trial path of the Chinese League One team is blocked, Cao Yangzheng is afraid that he will have to turn to a lower level of the team to seek opportunities. Before this, he had been touted by the media as an important pillar of the National Youth Football Team's future!
Cao Yangzheng is not a case in point, as another naturalized player from the Peruvian league, Guangzhou's Xiao Tao Tao, has also failed to show the talent he deserves. During his time in the Peruvian league, Xiao Tao Tao performed better than Cao Yangzheng, but he was also loaned out to the Central League for a long period of time. From this point of view, the introduction of young naturalized players from the Peruvian league seems to have a limited contribution to the development of Chinese soccer.
