On January 26th, heavy news came from Beijing time zone, famous soccer commentator Zhao Zhen revealed on social media that Chinese rising star Guo Tianyu will soon embark on the road to stay in the ocean. At the same time, Song Chengliang, a reporter from Pengfei News, also broke the news that apart from Guo Tianyu, a young player from the Harbor team will also join a Chinese-funded club in Europe.
Zhao Zhen said bluntly on social media, "Didn't everyone wonder why Guo Tianyu didn't go to Japan? It's because he's going to Europe!"
Immediately after, soccer celebrity Bai Guohua also confirmed the news of Guo Tianyu's stay in the world on his personal social media platforms, writing, "It is reported that Guo Tianyu is about to join a Portuguese Premier League club, for more detailed news, please stay tuned."
Guo Tianyu has become the centerpiece of Hao Wei's tactical system this season, and his growth has been remarkable. In 22 matches in the Chinese Super League (CSL), Guo Tianyu scored 10 goals and contributed 1 assist, making him the top scorer for Taishan this season. With his excellent pivot role and strong body, he was selected for the national soccer team and was expected to be the starting player. However, he did not report to the national team this time, making people speculate whether he is really going to start his career in foreign countries.
Song Seung-ryong also revealed another player who is going to stay in the ocean on his personal social media platform, he wrote: "Guo Tianyu is going to Europe? Congratulations congratulations, tomorrow the national football team against Japan, we are envious of Japan to stay in the ocean players more, in addition to small Guo, seaport of a potential star is also going to join a Chinese team, zero transfer fee, or for the seaport to point, and then about the second transfer dividends, and back to the country must go back to the old owner, stay in the ocean players the more always a good thing."
A fan asked in the comments if the player was Liu Zhurun or Jia Bo Yan, to which Song Chengliang replied with a single word: "Yes." It seems that the player should be one of Liu Zhurun or Jia Bo Yan.
Liu Zhurun, 20 years old, plays as a striker and has made 10 appearances in the Chinese Super League this season, starting 6 times and scoring 2 goals. He has made 6 appearances in the AFC Cup, starting once and scoring 3 goals. With his outstanding performance, he has also been selected as a candidate for China's Golden Boy Award, competing with Wu Shaocong and Zhu Chenjie. Jia Bo Yan has not made many appearances, but is a regular on the national ladder, and is also the youngest player in the history of Seaport, born in November 2003, he was 16 years and 9 months old when he made his debut in the Chinese Super League.
Song Seung-ryong then also announced the identity of the player staying in the country, writing, "Jabo Diem will join Grasshopper Football Club." It is worth noting that Guoan defender Li Lei had previously joined the team and made his debut in a warm-up match. (DD)
