In the passionate La Liga, our player Wu Lei finally showed his strength and scored a goal. Meanwhile, 23-year-old Guo Tianyu has also started a new journey in the Portuguese Superliga. in the 29th round of the Portuguese Superliga between Vizela and Braga at the dawn of April 11th, Guo Tianyu came on as a substitute in the 68th minute, and in a short period of 27 minutes, he finished a shot on goal, tried to cooperate with his teammates several times, and also showed a high degree of aggressiveness in the defensive side of the game. Guo Tianyu, born in 1999, has previously played for Taishan. In the 2021 season of the Chinese Super League, he scored 10 goals and became a key player in Taishan's championship win. At the end of the season, Guo Tianyu was selected by the Football Association (FA) to join the overseas program. Under the promotion of the FA, Taishan team and Guo Tianyu actively cooperated, and finally on January 27, Guo Tianyu officially confirmed that he would join the Portuguese Super League Vizela on loan. However, due to the related procedures processing is not smooth, Guo Tianyu until March 25 to complete all the formalities, March 27 to arrive in Portugal, opened the foreign trip. After two weeks of adaptation and integration, Guo Tianyu finally made his Portuguese Premier League debut on April 11th. Vizela was ranked 13th, facing the pressure of relegation; while Braga was ranked 4th, with overall strength significantly stronger than Vizela. In the match, Braga took the lead in the 39th minute, and in the 44th minute, Braga's Oliveira was sent off with a red card, giving Vizela a numerical advantage. In the 68th minute, Guo Tianyu came on as a substitute and made his Portuguese Premier League debut. Guo Tianyu played as a center forward, and Vizela was very active on the attacking end with one more player, and did their best to equalize the score. In his debut in the Portuguese Superliga, Guo Tianyu tried to adapt to the rhythm of the game, and after coming on the field, he firstly made the ball for his teammates, but their shots were blocked by the defenders. In the 78th minute, Guo Tianyu got his first chance to shoot in front of the goal, after a teammate passed the ball from the right side, Guo Tianyu in front of the goal was interfered by the opponent's defender, and his shot was deflected out of the goal, which was a missed opportunity. In the 85th minute, Guo Tianyu fell to the ground after taking the ball in front of the penalty area, and the referee did not call a foul. Guo Tianyu got up and immediately went back to the defense, he ran all the way from the front of the opponent's penalty area to the home penalty area, interfering with the opponent's attack. This 80-meter run showed Guo Tianyu's aggressiveness. Overall, Guo Tianyu did his best in his 27 minutes of playing time, but as he hasn't played in an official match for 4 months, he still needs time to adjust to the game, which is also a process of adaptation and integration for him.
According to the schedule, Vizela's next match will be away to Belém on April 17th at 1:00am. Belém do Pará is the bottom team in the Portuguese Superliga and Vizela will need to get 3 points on the road. Guo Tianyu should still have a chance to play then, so expect him to have a better performance in the game. There are still 5 rounds of matches left in this season's Portuguese Superliga, and Guo Tianyu's loan period is until June 30th. If he wants to stay in the future, these 5 games are crucial. Of course, at 23 years old, Guo Tianyu has to fight for more chances to play at this age. If he is unable to continue his stay after the end of the season in the Portuguese Super League, he will return to Taishan to continue playing in the Chinese Super League.
