Dating back to the 2023 season, he has been missing from the green field for 16 months and is in dire need of a return to competitive form. Chiang Rai United, the giant ship of the Thai Premier League, had the honor of participating in the AFC Champions League. Given the allocation of AFC Champions League seats to Chinese Super League teams, a head-to-head match between Chiang Rai United and Shandong Taishan in the AFC Champions League seems to be on the cards. If such a scenario is staged at that time, I am afraid it will be a match full of variables.
Guo Tianyu, 25 years old, is at the peak of his career. However, he will have to pay for his mistakes in the future of the Chinese Super League (CSL). The Thai Premier League season has yet to kick off, with the first round of matches scheduled for August 12th. Guo Tianyu is expected to show his strength in his debut. He is not the first Chinese player to play in the Thai Premier League. In the old days, many Chinese soccer talents wrote legends here, however, in recent seasons, such situations rarely occur. Guo Tianyu's "study abroad" experience has also opened up new paths for other players. From a technical point of view, Guo Tianyu is undoubtedly a suitable candidate for the Thai Super League.
This isn't the first time he's traveled overseas to play football; in 2022, he had a brief loan spell with Portuguese super team Vizeca, an experience that made him no stranger to the foreign scene. Guo Tianyu publicly spoke out on social media, apologizing to his teammates, fans, Shandong Taishan and the national team, as well as the head coach who nurtured him, and pleading for a chance to reform. However, his return to the Chinese Super League seems to be a lost cause. Although the fans have been lenient with him, both pitying and blaming him, in any case, as a Chinese player, he hopes to prove himself in the Taichung Super League and take responsibility for his faults.
