The CCTV reporter's question brought everything to a close when, at the press conference, he asked Chen Zhong how he viewed the recent trend of Chinese players going abroad. Chen Zhong extended his blessings to Wu Lei, who joined Barcelona's youth training, Zhang Linpeng at Chelsea, Wang Dalei at Bayern Munich, and other players.
"Being able to go abroad and play football is a good thing."
"If we want to progress, we need more players to go abroad to learn those advanced techniques."
"Offering better treatment to players domestically is actually a dangerous thing. You must know that a gentle homeland can be a hero's grave. Simply increasing treatment is not the right path."
It seems that the wave of European big-money football has also influenced China.
