Chinese football, well, we've come to understand it in this life: trying to make a name for oneself in the top five leagues is harder than climbing to the heavens! Take Wu Lei, for example; he at least played a few games with Espanyol before returning. Now, there isn't a single Chinese player left in those top leagues! So what do we do? Don't worry, there's always a way! Nowadays, there's a group of young men who have taken an alternative path and gone to Eastern Europe to train! Have you heard of places like Serbia and Croatia? Yes, that's where they are! You might not believe it, but the Eastern European leagues are quite interesting; their level is neither too high nor too low, making them perfect for our Chinese players to practice. Think about it, what are the top five leagues? They're where the gods fight! With our level, we wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth! We'd probably just end up sitting on the bench, watching the water dispenser! But Eastern Europe is different; the competition is less fierce, there are more opportunities to play, and we can accumulate experience—how great is that! Already, 12 Chinese young men have ventured into the Serbian league! That's not a small number! This lineup might make one think that Chinese football is moving house collectively! Among them are second-generation stars, promising talents, and the unknown "wallflowers," each harboring a strong desire to make a name for themselves in the Eastern European football scene!

As the top scorer for the national team, Wu Lei's omission has undoubtedly dealt a significant blow to fans. However, according to authoritative media reports, this decision was not based on technical or tactical reasons but rather took into consideration the difficulties Wu Lei faces at his Spanish club. Due to his continuous absence from La Liga matches, his form has been severely affected, and the national team does not wish to hinder his career at this time. Although Wu Lei has had a glorious record with the national team, this omission is undoubtedly a major test for his personal career. At the same time, the return of several overseas-based players has injected new vitality into the national team. Among them, central defender Wu Shaocong, who plays for Radomiak in the Polish Super League, and another young central defender, Wu Mitijiang, have attracted much attention. Wu Shaocong, as a rare left-footed central defender, has excellent football intelligence, a certain ability to play the ball, and high potential for development. Wu Mitijiang is known for his outstanding physical qualities and flexible playing style, being one of the few domestic central…
