On the evening of July 19th, Romanian forward Tudorel scored his 9th goal of the season, helping Wuhan Three Towns to a 1-1 draw against Qingdao West Coast. Watching this, Henan fans would no doubt feel that the €200,000 transfer fee was a bargain. It also brings to mind an old acquaintance from Henan football可查配资实盘平台, P?lü. Before coming to China, Tudorel played for the Romanian club, Petrolul, where he was coached by P?lü.
It's always eye-opening to compare players, especially when you look at Tudorel's value. In contrast, the combined cost of foreign players like Achiampong and Cardoso, whose combined goals this season amount to just 10, seems like money poorly spent. When you list out these expenses, the amount spent on underperforming foreign players is, quite frankly, staggering.

As he removed his shirt and ran to celebrate with the away fans, Henan's injured forward Cardoso could be seen grimacing in pain on the sidelines, clutching his inner thigh. The difference between a goal-scoring foreign forward like Tudorel and Henan's injury-riddled lineup highlights the gap between Wuhan Three Towns and Henan.
As the golden age of football investment fades, Chinese Super League clubs have become more pragmatic. After Tianjin Tigers brought in the value-for-money Romanian player Companio last year, Wuhan Three Towns made a smart move by signing Tudorel, who offers great value. Inspired by these examples, other clubs like Zhejiang and Yunnan Yukun have also looked to bring in Romanian players this summer.
By making the most of their resources and building on P?lü's extensive network, Henan could easily secure top-quality foreign players at affordable prices. Not only would this reduce costs, but it could also provide an opportunity for profitable player trades, boosting revenue in the long run.
At the start of this season, P?lü resigned from his coaching role following the tragic loss of his wife. Despite this, Warren Talari, the club's president, continued to pay P?lü's salary while waiting for his eventual return to coaching.
On April 25th, 2023, as Warren Talari aimed to return to the top tier, his team faced a setback, falling out of the promotion zone. This is when P?lü made his return. Under his leadership, the team quickly regained form, going on to achieve 3 wins and 2 draws in the next five matches. They ultimately finished 4th in Liga 2, securing a spot in the promotion playoffs.
According to the rules, Talari's team would face Uniirea 2004, the third-last team in Liga 1, in a two-legged playoff to decide who will join the top-tier league next season. After two intense matches that ended 2-2, Warren Talari’s side narrowly lost in a penalty shootout.
After the playoff defeat, Talari's first move was to keep P?lü on board. The club also pledged to increase their investment to support the manager's efforts to push for promotion. At the same time, Warren Talari's youth academy made significant strides. Last month, Romania’s U19 team, under Talari’s guidance, finished 3rd in the European U19 Championship, with Talari’s 18-year-old prodigy, Gutai, emerging as the team’s midfield star. Gutai scored the opening goal in their 3-0 win against Denmark and was named the match's best player.
Having long been active in top European leagues and possessing vast resources, P?lü is undoubtedly a valuable asset for Henan club. Take Tudorel, for example. It’s widely known that strikers are the most expensive players, but in P?lü's case, a single Achiampong could have been replaced by five highly skilled, affordable players from the Romanian league. This is similar to when Wang Suisheng and Dai Dahong spent less than $200,000 to bring in the famous Romanian trio years ago.
However, Pan Renmei, the club’s decision-maker, would rather blindly follow ill-advised choices than believe in P?lü’s proven talent. If you compare this with how Henan's youth football system, led by the \"Father of Henan Campus Football\" Su Bin, thrives at Zhengzhou No.9 High School, yet the club’s youth academy has stagnated under three different directors, the root cause of the club’s 30-year struggle to \"survive\" becomes crystal clear.
Henan club has everything it needs—except for one crucial thing: professionalism. When even Yang Chen is criticized by Pan Renmei with comments like \"Do you know how Guo Guangqi left?\" it’s no wonder that P?lü’s contributions are being overlooked.
