On December 16, Beijing time, the German transfer market updated the latest value of Norwegian players. Among them, Hou Yongyong, who has attracted much attention, has recently risen to 400,000 euros, which also set a new career high for him.
Hou Yongyong's latest value among domestic players has equaled Cheng Jin, Wang Zhenao, Xie Pengfei and other active international players, and is higher than Cao Yongjing, Wang Haijian and other Ivankovic's favorite generals.
In the end of this season, the 26-year-old Hou Yongyong made 29 league appearances for Lanheim, all starts, scoring 19 goals and eight assists, and he not only won the league's Golden Boot, but also won the league's official Player of the Season. Although the level of the Norwegian league is limited, as a Chinese player, it is already "unprecedented" to be officially recognized for winning two awards in the European League.
In July this year, Hou Yongyong admitted that he had never had the idea of changing his nationality and looked forward to one day representing the Chinese men's football team. However, it is regrettable that since Hou Yongyong became a naturalized citizen in 2019, he has never been called up by any coach of the national football team.
In the first 6 rounds of the top 18, there were endless calls from the outside world to call him up for the national team inspection, but the national football coach Ivankovic was unmoved. Considering the crucial situation in the last four games of the round of 18, Ivan may not be bold enough to use newcomers. I'm afraid that in a short period of time, Hou Yongyong will basically have no chance to realize his desire to fight for the country.
