text/Bin Shaokanqiu (first release) As we all know, the current situation in the Super League is not as good as before, especially in foreign players, many teams have saved expenses and no longer had the glory of the Jinyuan football era. Among them, among the current teams of , the largest recruitment investment may be the Wuhan three town teams, of which Stanchu spent about 4 million euros. Note that it is 4 million euros, not 40 million euros. In the past, local players have more than this value. In the Chinese Super League venues in the past few years, due to the launch of Jinyuan football, many big-name stars in the world have come to the Chinese Super League to try, and some even boastful to say that they want to improve themselves in the Chinese Super League and play until retirement.
For Tianjin team fans, Mikel may be familiar with them. He was one of the well-known big-name stars who joined the Chinese Super League team at that time. This midfielder star from Nigeria was once discovered by Premier League giants Chelsea at the age of 19, and joined the Chelsea at the time with a transfer fee of up to 20 million euros. After that, Milk stayed for 11 seasons. During these times, he helped Chelsea win the Champions League championship and Premier League championship. He is also a well-known big-name star in the world football world.
5 years ago, that is, in 2017, Mikel resolutely chose to go to the Chinese Super League to start his new career and joined the Tianjin team, because at that time, many big-name foreign players came to the Chinese Super League to rejuvenate their second spring. For example, in Tottenham , Paulinho was frustrated with Tottenham . After joining the Chinese Super League Evergrande , Paulinho not only had a sky-high annual salary, but also improved his technical and tactical level a lot. In Mikel's opinion at the time, playing football in the Chinese Super League can completely gild himself and then continue to shine and heat up when returning to the five major leagues. However, it was surprising that Mikel's performance was too unsatisfactory after joining the Tianjin team. In 31 games representing the Tianjin team, he only scored 3 goals and had only 3 assists. Such data is shocking.
In just two seasons, Mikel fled the Chinese Super League, and his value also plummeted. Even when no one was concerned, the Tianjin team's introduction of Mikel was wasted, and he did not receive any transfer fee when he left the Chinese Super League. After leaving the Chinese Super League, Mikel also complained. In fact, Mikel is also a ungrateful foreign player in the Chinese Super League. His strength and competitive level have declined. He deserves a lot of salary, but his performance is mediocre. The most typical representative foreign player in the Chinese Super League is Paulinho. He has a high salary, worked diligently, and he has also improved himself. At one time, , Barcelona has thrown out olive branches to introduce Paulinho, and he has also achieved great achievements in his personal career in Barcelona.
After leaving the Chinese Super League, Mikel "wandered" four times and joined the Turkish Super League teams and some teams in West Asia, but was unable to maintain a good competitive state. In the end, at the age of 35, he chose to retire. This age is not actually very large. For example, Messi and C Ronaldo . Their competitive strength is still very top-notch. As long as they are self-disciplined, they can at least extend their careers. Mikel is obviously not such a superstar player, at most an ordinary big-name player. It is indeed a pity to retire at such an age.
