"Liu Ruowan vanadium favored by La Liga team! Shenhua official: Full support for players' dream of staying in foreign countries"

In the recently concluded East Asian Cup, Shanghai Shenhua's young striker Liu Ruowan vanadium, who was not given a minute of game time despite being listed on the bench, has sent ripples through the flashing lights of the Chinese media and the voices of the fans. Meanwhile, a La Liga powerhouse, Cadiz, is secretly coveting the starlet. The La Liga club, which only narrowly survived relegation last season, is said to have examined Liu Ruowan in detail and is interested in taking him under its wing, with the relevant invitation documents having arrived on Shanghai Shenhua's desk. Given the close working relationship between the Chinese national soccer team and La Liga, these documents have also been copied to the Football Association in parallel. However, Liu Ruowan vanadium has not been given a clear response on this issue for the time being as he is with the national team for the East Asian Cup. So, what is Shanghai Shenhua's position on this matter? Recently, the reporter contacted Shenhua management and learned that their attitude towards young international players going abroad to stay in the world is supportive and positive, but also put forward their own strict requirements. "As early as before 2002, we have international players to play overseas, and achieved good results. However, with the decline of the national team's performance in recent years, the competitiveness of the players has gradually weakened, and the gap between us and the mainstream European leagues has become more and more obvious. The Football Association has also realized this, in order to promote the players to stay overseas, has made a lot of efforts, we affirm and understand. But we also need to think deeply, how to make the stay in the ocean more meaningful, really play its role, rather than just the player's youth as a bet." Shenhua senior so elaborated. He also cited the examples of some outgoing international players like Artemisia Junmin and Zhang Xunzhe, arguing that these players have not reached the expected achievements and the effect is not ideal. "There are two ways to stay in the ocean, one is to push out by force, the other is to recommend and then get the recognition of the other side's head coach. At present, it seems unrealistic for foreign clubs to take the initiative to poach our players. But if it's just to have some players overseas, or they have experience of staying overseas, then there's no need to send our core players, as they are perfectly capable of playing at home. If they go abroad, at least make sure they get a chance to play. If they are forced to certain clubs just because of their relationship, the effect is very different, and they are likely to become 'water cooler keepers' when they go out, which is extremely unfavorable to the growth of the players." Shenhua senior said so. It is understood that, due to the long-term cooperation between La Liga and the Chinese Football Association, the Chinese side has been actively recommending international players to the outside world, and provide players with match videos. It is against this background that Liu Ruowan vanadium was spotted by Cadiz. Regarding this situation, Shenhua's senior management said: "If this is the case, I am proud and honored for Liu Ruowan. We only have a small request, I hope the relevant parties can help to pull the strings, so that the head coach of Cadiz can personally communicate with us to express the recognition and expectations of the player. This is our responsible attitude towards the players." Shenhua executives do not want this to be just the behavior of a party club's technical department or management individuals, the decision of the player to play or not is certainly the head coach, so Shenhua would like to further confirm that Liu Ruowan van has been recognized by the head coach of Cadiz. "When young players go abroad to stay in the world, they face two major challenges: the first is to integrate into the team's technical and tactical skills and soccer culture; the second is the life and language barrier. Don't think that professional players should take care of themselves. Those who don't understand the Japanese and Korean model of successful overseas stay will send staff to take care of the players in their lives and provide ideological counseling. Japan has been particularly meticulous in this regard." Shenhua executives raised two major problems facing Chinese players staying abroad. He added: "If we just throw the players abroad and let them face it alone, there could be bad consequences. Western societies are very open and players may be subject to great shocks and temptations in their private lives. We can't ask every player to be a willow, and if there are problems in this regard, who should bear the responsibility? It is not true that there have not been any negative cases before, and the authorities concerned should know better than we do. Therefore, if you send a player abroad, you have to have a responsible person to accompany you for a long period of time. If the relevant departments bear the costs, Shenhua can consider sending a staff member to provide logistical support services for the players staying abroad. Sending players abroad to stay in the ocean, I hope they can go all out to face the competition and unfamiliar environment without worries." Shenhua executives said that this is not because Shenhua players are delicate, but based on an in-depth investigation of European resources, fully understand the experiences and encounters of Japanese and Korean players proposed. "Over the years, there are often agents who say, give me your so-and-so players, I'm responsible for sending them abroad, I have connections at so-and-so club, I have a good relationship with the general manager or technical director of so-and-so club, or so-and-so head coach is my friend. I laughed at all these words. Because these are typical Chinese thinking, thinking only for themselves and not considering the position of the players." Shenhua executives raised their concerns. "If you have connections yourself, you send the players there, but no one has shown me any technical reports or discussed in depth with me whether the clubs they intend to send them to really need the type of players we have, what kind of competition the players have to face after going there, how competitive the players themselves are, and how many percent of them hope to play. People can say whatever they want, but statistics don't lie. So, if the relevant departments of the FA are really optimistic about our players and have a target for them, then please give Shenhua a technical analysis report, at least let us know that sending a player to a certain team is purely out of professional technical and tactical considerations. No one can guarantee that a player will have a place 100% of the time, but at least it has to be more than half viable, right? It may not always work out, but there can't be no possibility at all, then the significance of the player going out will be greatly reduced." The Shenhua senior expressed his concerns. In this past year, Liu Ruowan vanadium has performed well and improved significantly during his games in Rongcheng (on loan). Now that he has returned to Shenhua, the club has high hopes for him. Shenhua's senior management also made it clear in an interview that it is undoubtedly vital for players of this age group to participate in more high-level matches and gain more real-world experience. Going abroad, even to a high-level European league, may be better than staying in the Chinese Super League to play soccer if you just train and don't participate in matches. Therefore, Shenhua senior management hope to send young players abroad to stay in the ocean, is based on rational, scientific basis, so that it makes sense. Of course, it is undeniable that for Shenhua club itself, it is also facing certain difficulties. With the opening of the second phase of the tournament, as well as the plight of Shenhua can not attract reinforcements, Liu Ruowan van for Shenhua, is by no means dispensable players. Once he leaves the team, Shenhua will have to add players, so it must be prepared early.
