Just as news of Wu Lei's goal in Spain's Primera Division was making the rounds, 23-year-old Guo Tianyu started a new campaign in the Portuguese Superliga. in the early morning of April 11, in the 29th round of the Portuguese Superliga match between Vizela and Braga, Guo came on as a substitute in the 68th minute, and in his 27-minute appearance, he finished with one shot on goal, and was active in his search for a matchup with his teammates, as well as on the defensive end. He also performed well on the defensive end. Born in 1999, Guo Tianyu had been playing for Shandong Taishan, where he scored 10 goals in the 2021 Super League season and was a key player in Taishan's title-winning campaign. At the end of the season, Guo Tianyu was included in the plan of the Football Association to stay in the ocean, under the promotion of the Football Association, Taishan team and Guo Tianyu positive cooperation, January 27, Guo Tianyu officially confirmed to join the Portuguese Super League Vizcaya on loan. However, due to the relevant procedures are not smooth, Guo Tianyu until March 25 to complete all the formalities, March 27 arrived in Portugal, opened the foreign trip. After two weeks of adaptation and integration, Guo Tianyu finally ushered in his Portuguese Premier League debut on April 11th. Vizela is currently ranked 13th in the Portuguese Superliga and is still facing relegation pressure, while Braga is ranked 4th in the Portuguese Superliga and is 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 was still playing as a center forward, and Vizela, playing with an extra man, attacked aggressively and tried their best to equalize the score. In his debut in the Portuguese Superliga, Guo Tianyu struggled to adapt to the rhythm, he first made a play for his teammates after he came on the pitch, but his teammates' 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 pass from his teammates on the right side of the field, Guo Tianyu was interfered with by the opponent's defender, and his shot was deflected out of the goal, which was a good opportunity missed. In the 85th minute, Guo Tianyu fell to the ground after taking the ball in front of the penalty area, the referee didn't call a foul, Guo Tianyu got up and immediately participated in the defense, he ran all the way from the front of the opponent's penalty area to the penalty area of the opponent's attack to form a disturbance, the 80-meter dash back to the defense also reflects the positive attitude of Guo Tianyu. In terms of overall performance, Guo Tianyu went all out in his 27 minutes of playing time, but he hasn't played an official game in 4 months and still needs time to adjust to the game, which is also a process of adaptation for him.
According to the schedule, Vizela's next match is April 17th at 1:00 am, away to Belém, which is the bottom ranked team in the Portuguese Superliga, and Vizela will have to fight for 3 points on the road, and Guo Tianyu should have the chance to play at that time, so I expect him to have a better performance in the match. There are still 5 rounds of matches left in this season's Portuguese Superliga, and Guo Tianyu's loan period is until June 30th, so if he wants to continue to stay in the world in the future, these 5 matches will be very crucial. Of course, for the 23-year-old Guo Tianyu, this age is still to fight for more opportunities to play, if the end of this season's Portuguese Premier League can not continue to stay in the ocean, will return to the Taishan team to continue to play in the Chinese Super League.
