In September 2024, an official announcement from the Chinese Football Association (CFA) shed some light on the anti-corruption efforts in Chinese football, particularly on the "Hao Wei Line." The notice explicitly stated that Guo Tianyu had sought improper benefits, engaged in improper transactions, manipulated football matches, and obtained illegal gains. Consequently, he was handed a lifetime ban from participating in any football-related activities. However, this punishment was predicated on Guo still being a Chinese football player. What was peculiar was that after Shandong removed him from their roster in August, Chiangrai United of the Thai League (T1) announced on August 8 that Guo had joined the team as a free agent. After joining Chiangrai United, Guo Tianyu made consecutive appearances for the team and even secured a starting position at one point. However, his performance significantly declined, with ten games yielding no goals or assists. On August 25, during the third round of the T1 League, Guo made his debut. On October 4, Chiangrai United hosted Nan Bunnok Warriors, with Guo starting for the team. It is worth noting that the CFA had already issued its ban on Guo at this time. The awkward part was that Guo completely disregarded the ban; since he was in Thailand, the CFA could not enforce it, and FIFA essentially turned a blind eye, making the ban seem like a joke. On January 15, 2025, in the 17th round of the T1 League, Chiangrai United lost away to Buriram United, with Guo coming off the bench. This marked his return to the field after…

A promising forward for the national football team has reappeared after disappearing for two months, only to be expelled from the Chinese Super League. Once hailed as a prodigy, he has now faded into obscurity. Upon being promoted to the first team, he was highly regarded by many fans as a rare tall striker for the national team in recent years. The national team invested in his development, willingly sending him to train with a Portuguese club to enhance his skills. However, he failed to live up to expectations. Overseas, without strict supervision, he became lax in training and gained significant weight, resulting in his return to the Chinese Super League within half a year. Upon his return, he lost the brilliance of his past, and within six months, he was caught by the Football Association participating in match-fixing, leading to a lifetime ban from football in China. In previous years, some fans criticized Zhang Yuning and praised Guo Tianyu, claiming that Zhang Yuning's tactical value far surpassed that of Wei Shihao, who was at the peak of his career with Guangzhou Evergrande. Some fans argued that Guo Tianyu's physical attributes were superior to Zhang Yuning's. However, Guo Tianyu's biggest issue was his lack of self-discipline. He had previously been suspended by Shandong for playing with his phone on the bench. Unable to secure a place in the domestic league, he had no choice but to seek opportunities abroad. Currently, Guo Tianyu plays for Chiangrai United in the Thai League. He had missed five consecutive matches before returning in the…

Journalist Miao Yuan revealed that Guo Tianyu and Sun Zhunhao of Shandong Taishan team originally had promising career prospects. Guo Tianyu was young but already had a big contract with a bright future; Sun Zhunhao was about to finalize a long-term lucrative contract, with good days seemingly just ahead. However, no one could have expected that they would mistakenly trust their friends, leading them off course and ultimately violating the relevant regulations of the Football Association. The team had no choice but to terminate their contracts. Miao Yuan disclosed in a live broadcast that Guo Tianyu was indeed a key training target at Shandong Taishan, holding a long-term contract with generous treatment that many players envied. The team cultivated him comprehensively, hoping he would become a pillar of the team's front line and carry the offensive banner. But who could have anticipated such a sudden turn in life? Guo Tianyu's friends did not pass on positive energy to him, but instead led him astray. As soon as the Football Association's punishment was announced, even though Taishan was reluctant, they had to comply with the rules and terminate the contract. Guo Tianyu's stable life in the Chinese Super League instantly turned into nothingness, forcing him to go to the Thai league. In Thailand, Guo Tianyu met Liu Chaoyang, who also came from Luneng's youth training system, which seemed particularly poignant in a foreign country. Many fans may not know Liu Chaoyang, but he is actually a "second-generation star," his father being the famous Sichuan footballer Liu Bin. Due to continuous loans…
