As spring draws near, the drums of war are beating on the international stage in March, and national soccer associations are unveiling their lineups for national team training one after another. Looking back a few years ago, the Chinese Super League was immersed in the splendor of the "Golden Dollar Era". At that time, many foreign aiders were the best of their respective national teams, and even in the star-studded Brazilian national team, you can find the figure of the Chinese Super League players. In order to protect the athletic status of these foreign aiders, some clubs do not hesitate to spend a fortune, chartered flights to send and receive foreign aiders reporting to the national team.
However, the retreat of capital makes the Chinese Super League from the "golden dollar era" into the "poor years". Some of the teams are so short of money that they even face the risk of breaking their financial chain, which makes most of the teams' foreign aid strength fall down like a cliff. In this coming international match day, only four Chinese Super League foreign aiders have been selected for the national team: Shandong Taishan's Sun Zhunhao, Wuhan Sanzhen's Stanciu, Dalian's Manzocchi, and the new Beijing Guoan's Ademi. It is worth mentioning that Sun Zhunhao has embarked on the road back to China on March 19th.
Sun Junho, a back and center forward born in May 1992, is 1.78 meters tall. Since landing in the Chinese Super League (CSL) in the 2021 season, he has contributed five goals and nine assists for Shandong Taishan, helping the team win two AFC Cup titles and one CSL title. But at the national team level, Sun Junhao's position is not secure, and he played only three matches as a substitute at the Qatar World Cup.
The South Korean national team now has a new head coach. Klinsmann, the German legend, is about to start his first training session after taking over. 24th, they will face Colombia and Uruguay. Son Jungho will face a rigorous test from Klinsmann. With so many rivals playing in Europe's top leagues, the pressure is on for Son Jungho.
Editor's observation: the competitive level of the Chinese Super League is declining year by year and the tournament start is far away, which undoubtedly casts a shadow on the national team career of the Chinese Super League foreign aid, and Sun Junhao is no exception. In the future, the number of foreign aiders in the Chinese Super League may become less and less. For the national soccer team, this is not a lucky thing. After all, there are few international players among the active players, the quality of the domestic league is uneven, and the opportunity for international players to improve their skills is getting slimmer and slimmer.
