Many fans may remember the scene where the national soccer team drew 0-0 with Tajikistan in the opening match of the Asian Cup. In that game, the national soccer team was at a defensive disadvantage for 70 minutes. The much-vaunted Wu Lei looked lost on the field and was eventually replaced by Jankovic in the second half. It was a scene that made people empathize with Wu Lei's helplessness. China's best striker seems to be unable to save the national team's woes.
However, when you think about it, Wu Lei is already 33 years old, as a seasoned veteran, physical decline is inevitable. It can be said that Wu Lei has long been in urgent need of a successor. Unfortunately, in recent years, despite the emergence of Liu Ruowan vanadium, Tao Qianglong and other successors, but their growth did not meet expectations.
Liu Ruowan van, in particular, is known as Wu Lei's younger brother, having come from the same base as Wu Lei. Under the guidance of Xu Genbao, Liu Ruowan went to Spain for training and was nicknamed "Liu Ruoma" by the fans to symbolize his outstanding talent. 17 years old, he joined Shanghai Shenhua, and at the age of 18, he made his debut in the Chinese Super League, scoring the first goal of the Chinese Super League, and for a while, people were full of expectations for Liu Ruowan.
However, Liu Ruowan vanadium has since been plagued by injuries and has been relegated to the bench at Shenhua. Although he was briefly loaned out to China A team Chengdu Rongcheng, he spent most of his time on the bench. Last season, he made only five appearances at Shenhua, with no stats to show for it. As a result, he announced at the beginning of the year that he had terminated his contract with Shenhua and became a free agent.
So where will Liu Ruofan go after leaving Shenhua? According to Football Daily, Wuhan Sanzhen are in talks with Liu Ruowan about a transfer. This transfer may be the turning point of Liu Ruowan's career. He needs a platform where he can show his talent, and Wuhan Sanzhen is the best choice.
Although Wuhan Three Town was the 2022 Chinese Super League champion, the team was damaged last season due to financial problems. In the new season, the team had to face the situation of losing players. In terms of foreign players, Malcolm and Aziz left the team at the end of their loan period, leaving Park Chi-soo and Davidson as the team's only foreign players. In terms of domestic players, apart from the national team players, captain Ren Hang has not yet returned, expired contract player Gao Junyi will join Taishan soon, side defender Li Yang has appeared in Chengdu Rongcheng's training ground, and veteran Yang has also returned to the field of play after a long absence.
As a result, Wuhan Three Town is facing a serious challenge of talent drain in the new season. The addition of Liu Ruowan vanadium will undoubtedly inject new vitality into the team, perhaps ushering in the second spring of his career. Does such a transfer herald a new chapter in the partnership between the two sides?
What do you think of Liu Ruofan's future when he joins Wuhan Sanzhen?
