The camp has long been weathered, and the turnover of soldiers is unceasing. In the last two seasons of the Chinese Super League, many outstanding foreign aiders left one after another, some chose to take the initiative to leave, some are reluctant to leave. For example, the former Shandong Taishan Pellet, Shanghai harbor Hulk, Guangzhou Evergrande Paulinho and so on.
On August 14, 2021, Chinese Super League powerhouse Beijing Guoan officially announced the official return of South Korean foreigner Kim Min Ja! However, Min-Ja Kim announced shortly afterward that he had joined Fenerbahce of the Turkish Super League!
Fenerbahce were also quick to announce the signing of Minjae Kim after the news of Guoan's official announcement.
As a matter of fact, Kim Min-jae has expressed his desire to leave the Chinese Super League many times before. Last season, former international footballer Xu Liang, when commenting on Guoan's matches, criticized Kim for not being active enough in certain matches.
In recent years, Chinese Super League (CSL) teams have brought in a number of South Korean foreign aiders, who mainly play an important role in the center backfield. For example, Guangzhou Evergrande's Park Chi-soo and Kim Young-gwon, Tianjin Tianhai's Song Ju-hyun, and Guangzhou R&F's Zhang Hyun-soo are all strong players.
The Korean media has repeatedly expressed its gratitude to the Chinese Super League, which has trained many defenders for South Korea and has greatly benefited the players' ability. Some Chinese Super League foreign aiders have even been selected for the Korean national team by virtue of their outstanding performance on the field.
In fact, Korean athletes are extremely cost-effective, their prices and annual salaries are usually not high, but their physical fitness, tough on-field style, and great dedication make them favorites of many Chinese Super League teams!
