Although over a billion people live in China, the country has never been considered a football powerhouse. The Chinese have been striving for years to catch up with the best, but they have yet to succeed. The local league is of decent quality, primarily due to the presence of good and notably well-paid foreign players. However, the number of Chinese players who have succeeded in European or international football can be counted on a few fingers. It remains to be seen what the largely unknown Yu Guizhe will achieve in his career, but it is interesting that he has found his next destination in Slovenia!
Yu Guizhe, who is just 19 years old and stands at 192 centimeters tall, will continue his career in Nova Gorica, where he will wear the jersey of Gorica on loan from the Chinese third-division club Hubei Istar. There is no doubt that this is the first loan from Chinese football to Slovenia…
Interestingly, the teenager from Tianjin, the largest coastal city in China, will not be playing in Europe for the first time. Earlier this year, he was already on loan to Serbia, where he played for the youth team of Voždovac from Belgrade. Despite his youth, he has already played 30 matches for the senior team of the Chinese club Hubei Istar, and in Serbia, he recorded nine appearances in the under-19 national league.
