Recently, the Chinese Football Association released the training list for the Chinese national youth team in preparation for the U20 Asian Cup (Asian Youth Championship) scheduled to start on February 12th. This competition is of vital importance to Chinese football, as the top four teams will secure a spot to represent Asia at the 2025 Chile U20 World Cup. For the national youth team, this match is akin to their "lifeline," especially considering that the Chinese national youth team has not qualified for the World Youth Championship for a full 20 years. However, things are not that simple. Since this competition is not held during the international match days specified by FIFA, several clubs from Europe have expressed their refusal to release players. Specifically, the Hospitalet team from the Spanish Second Division B, the Marbella team from the Spanish First Division A, and the Rochefort United team from the Belgian Third Division have all declined to allow their Chinese players to participate in training and matches. The reason given by these clubs is straightforward - they are currently in a critical stage of the season and rely on these players to fight for promotion, especially since these three Chinese players play key roles as rotational starters in their respective teams. For them, the U20 Asian Cup does not seem worth disrupting the rhythm of the league. In this situation, the Chinese Football Association has not given up and has actively engaged in communication with these European clubs. They stated that this competition is crucial for the future of Chinese football…

"Can the 19-year-old Chinese youngster Du Yuezheng establish himself in Europe's top football arena?" This is a question that many people are interested in. In the third round of the King's Cup, when Atletico Madrid faced Segunda Division team Marbella, this young man welcomed his own moment of glory - coming off the bench in the 84th minute. Although he did not directly change the course of the game, these short ten minutes were enough to give people hope. As a player who once stood out in the CSL, his appearance marked that the young generation of Chinese football is trying to open a new door. This game was not only Du Yuezheng's stage for his debut but also a match full of highlights. With Griezmann's decisive goal in the 16th minute, Atletico Madrid narrowly defeated Marbella 1-0 and advanced to the fourth round of the King's Cup. This victory also expanded the team's winning streak to an astonishing 13 games. For Atletico, this is not just a number but an important embodiment of their steady progress throughout the season. Atletico's performance in this game continued their consistent balance of attack and defense. Griezmann's decisive goal quickly put the game into their rhythm. Such a goal is not flashy but extremely lethal. It seems like a casual shot, but it actually embodies the essence of Simeone's tactics - rapid offensive transformation,默契的团队协作以及精准的机会把握。 It is worth mentioning that this victory is also the continuation of Atletico's unbeaten streak of 13 games. In these 13 games, they scored a total of 34 goals…

Once Wu Lei left for La Liga's RCD Espanyol, he quickly became the focus of fans and media across China. Many fans even woke up in the middle of the night to watch Espanyol's matches just to catch a glimpse of Wu Lei's performance on the field. His goal against FC Barcelona, one of the giants of La Liga, sent the nation into a frenzy. However, since Wu Lei's return from Espanyol, no other Chinese player has appeared in either La Liga or the Segunda División. Now, a young Chinese talent has emerged in Spain with the potential to follow in Wu Lei's footsteps and join the Segunda División (second tier). Spanish media suggests that this young Chinese player is more suited to compete in the Segunda División than Wu Lei, as he possesses a stronger physique and superior heading ability, making him a more comprehensive player overall. In August of this year, the 19-year-old Du Yuezheng transferred from Póvoa de Varzim's youth team, which competes in the fifth tier of Portuguese football, to Marbella FC, a team in the third tier of Spanish football (Xijiajia). Initially, neither Spanish nor domestic media were optimistic about Du Yuezheng's prospects at Marbella, believing he would be a benchwarmer at best. However, after joining Marbella, Du Yuezheng has consistently been given playing opportunities in the Xijiajia league. On September 8th, in the third round of Group B of the 24-25 Xijiajia season, Du Yuezheng made his official debut for Marbella against Ceuta, coming on as a substitute in the 82nd minute and thus…
