When it comes to rising stars in the soccer world, Liu Chengyu, an 18-year-old young striker, has undoubtedly taken the spotlight. He has not only become the future star of Shenhua with his excellent skills and amazing performance on the pitch, but also plays a pivotal role in the National Youth Football Team. Despite his young age, Liu Chengyu's skill set is distinctive, especially his excellent ball control and shooting ability.
In the U21 League, Liu Chengyu's performance is particularly eye-catching. The average number of shots on goal is as high as 5.3, and the goal-scoring efficiency is as high as 30%, which is too much for his peers, and he has become a powerful weapon in the offensive line of Shenhua's U21 youth team.
His dribbling skills are also excellent, as he can quickly adjust his direction in narrow spaces, and create more chances for his team's offense by escaping from the opponent's defense with his delicate footwork. This kind of flexible dribbling not only creates threats on the side, but also can penetrate into the opponent's penalty area, creating good scoring opportunities for the team. His shots, with the perfect combination of power and angle, often catch the goalkeeper off guard.
Liu Chengyu's individual ability is not only making a name for himself in the Shenhua U21 team, but he is also playing an increasingly important role in the national youth team. He has shown exceptional talent in numerous international matches, especially in the Four Nations Tournament against South Korea, where he became famous with a brilliant performance that helped the national youth team win 2:0.
However, such a potential international star, in the first team of Shenhua failed to get due attention. Despite the fact that many of his peers in the Euroleague have already taken their place, Liu Chengyu has never been able to be utilized by Slutsky, and can only sit on the bench, becoming a regret in the eyes of the audience.
