Wuhan three towns in the summer transfer window big action in succession, not only signed in the Portuguese Super League, Evergrande former center back Park Zhizhu, but also to invite the section, He Xi, Jiang Zhipeng and other local strength players to join.
Regrettably, these three new players have not gained sufficient trust, and their performance on the field has been limited in many ways. Although He Xi played seven games, including six starts, but Jiang Zhipeng's performance is relatively poor, eight appearances but only four starts, especially regrettable is the absence of Shandong Luneng former international player Liu Yu.
According to statistics, Duan Liuyu was transferred from Shandong Luneng to Wuhan Sanzhen on July 15th on loan. Since joining, Wuhan Sanzhen played a total of 14 matches, Duan Liuyu only got 8 chances to play, of which the first appearance is only 3 times, becoming the summer window of the new players in the least number of appearances. This reflects that in the tactical system of Wuhan Sanzhen's head coach, Duan Liuyu seems to be a dispensable role.
Looking back on Duan Liuyu's career over the past few years, his situation has been quite embarrassing. Since Hao Wei took over as head coach of Shandong Luneng in October 2020, Duan Liuyu's position in the team has taken a sharp turn for the worse, from Li's favorite to a marginal figure in the team. Even when Cui Kangxi took over the team this season, Duan Liuyu's situation did not improve. Before the summer window, he made only two appearances in Shandong Luneng.
In the end, Duan Liuyu chose to join Wuhan Sanzhen on loan. He was expecting to be reused in his new home, but the reality has made him a marginal figure in the team once again.
Duan Liuyu is a well-known and outstanding player in the Chinese Super League. If he hadn't chosen soccer, he could have been admitted to a prestigious university with his outstanding academic performance. However, he chose his beloved soccer, and Luneng Soccer School became the starting point of his dream. Duan Liuyu was so talented that he was transferred to the first team of Shandong Luneng at the age of 20, and became the main player of the team at the age of 21, and was awarded the title of the best newcomer of this season's Chinese Super League. With his outstanding performance in the league, Duan Liuyu was quickly selected for the U23 national team and became the center of the midfield, and was regarded as the future star of the national soccer team.
Who would have thought that after only four years, 25-year-old Duan Liuyu would fall from the peak and become a "chicken rib" in the Chinese Super League, losing his stable playing time. If this continues, this talented Luneng genius may be completely marginalized and become a waste of time. Such an ending is really regrettable.
