The Chinese men's football team has not performed well in this Asian Cup, showing that the gap with Asia's top teams is widening. One of the obvious issues is the quantity and quality of the players who stayed abroad.
The Chinese men's football team has only one player, Wu Shaocong, who stayed in Europe and played in the fourth and fifth divisions, and did not play in this Asian Cup.
In contrast, the Japanese and South Korean men's soccer teams have more overseas players, including those who play in Europe's top five leagues. In order to improve its strength, the Chinese men's football team needs to let more players stay abroad.
Recently, national football striker He Xiaoke announced that he would continue to stay in Spain, and fans praised it.
He Xiaoke is a 20-year-old Chinese national player who has had a good performance and is known as China's Cristiano Ronaldo by fans.
He has long been trained in Europe, including Russia, Serbia and Spain. Last season, he signed with La Liga side Andorra but was unable to play due to injury.
The team informed him that he could look for a new club and he decided to stay and play for the fifth division team in Spain. He thinks the most important thing is to be able to play.
Now he has joined a new team. I hope He Xiaoke can persevere, come on!
