Zhang Olin's move is undoubtedly a loud wake-up call for the Chinese men's soccer community! Looking back at the recently concluded Asian Cup, the Chinese men's soccer team suffered three consecutive defeats in the group stage, and even more shameful is the grain! The news of Zhang Aolin's choice to join the Japanese nationality has left many fans in shock and disbelief, and some even find it hard to let go deep down inside. However, some fans said it was understandable, after all, he spent his childhood in Japan, received a Japanese education, and did not have a close connection with China other than his parents. We can also see in his photos that his center-parted hairstyle is still the same, and the influence of Japanese culture on him is obvious!
Looking back at the history of Chinese soccer, it is not the first time that a similar situation has happened. Shi Jiayi, a Shanghai-based player, was once teammates with Wang Song. In the face of the lack of domestic professional opportunities, in 2002 he went to Singapore to play football. 2005, the Singapore national team coach Avramovic saw his strength, Shi Jiayi eventually obtained Singaporean citizenship. 2014 World Cup qualifiers, Singapore and our country in the same group, Shi Jiayi debut in two matches. 2015 Asian Champions League, Shi Jiayi and former gymnasium classmates Wang Song in the field of battle, each for national glory! In the 2015 Asian Champions League, Shi Jia Yi and his former gymnasium classmate Wang Song fought on the field, each fighting for the honor of the country!
Therefore, we do not need to be overly obsessed with the issue of players choosing to join other countries. Everyone is an individual, and it is only natural for people to have their own choices and thoughts! As long as you don't regret your decision in the future, that's the best ending.
