The foreign aid was well chosen, and the Guangzhou team changed its way of life

Reporter Wang Wei reports On the evening of August 24, in the 20th round of the Chinese League, the Guangzhou team defeated Shanghai Jiading Huilong 2-0 away, accumulating 33 points, surpassing Suzhou Dongwu, which had 32 points, and temporarily ranked fourth in the standings.

In the match against Shanghai Jiading Huilong, two young strikers of Guangzhou, Waili · Kurban and Bai Yutao, scored their first league goals in the same game, of which Bai Yutao once again set a new record for the youngest player of Guangzhou team with 17 years and 260 days. It is also worth noting that Guangzhou's Colombia foreign player Benarosa sent a delicate pass to assist the 18-year-old Waili to open the scoring for the team, and Benarosa currently leads the assist list in the Chinese League with 8 assists.

In addition to Beniarosa (pictured above, right), another Colombia foreign player in Guangzhou's team, Alegria (pictured left), is temporarily second in the scorer list with 11 goals, following Yukun's Muxiekui in Yunnan.

Guangzhou's current fourth-place finish in the standings is closely related to the performance of these two young foreign players in the team, and their outstanding performances have injected new vitality into the Guangzhou team.

Last season, the Guangzhou captain of the all-Chinese class struggled in the relegation circle, and in order to change the way of life, the club and the coaching staff hope to bring in foreign players in the 2024 season to improve the competitiveness of the team. Due to the reduction of the budget and other problems, the Guangzhou team encountered many problems in the process of finding foreign aid at the beginning of the season, and this year's league is about to start, so three foreign players were determined.

The three foreign aides identified by the Guangzhou team at the last moment, Sadaeuskas, Alegria and Beniarosa, are not big names, and can even be said to be unknown, but as soon as the league started, the outside world found out that these three were cost-effective foreign aids. The addition of these three foreign players has effectively improved the overall strength of the team, and defender Sadauscas has strengthened the defensive depth of the Guangzhou team, not to mention Alegria and Beniarosa on the offensive end, and the data has reflected their role well.

Although before joining the Guangzhou team, Beniarosa and Alegria were unknown foreign helpers in the Chinese league, but from the experience, their starting point is not low, they have all played for the Colombia U17 national team, especially Berniarosa, was the absolute main force of the Colombia U17 team, through the performance of the Guangzhou team, now the two of them have become the hot foreign aid in the Chinese league.

Speaking about the performance of Alegeria and Beñarosa, Guangzhou captain Hou Yu said that the two teammates from Colombia played a very important role in the team's attack. Although one of the two foreign aides is only 22 years old and the other is 24 years old, in this Guangzhou team, they can be called "veterans", plus they have been in many national leagues before joining, and their experience is also rich, so in daily training and competition, Alegria and Beñarosa not only have high requirements for themselves, but also often communicate with Chinese teammates, which not only enhances the tacit understanding of cooperation, but also helps younger teammates to read the game. "Every professional team should have a big goal and every professional player should work towards that goal, so we will do our best every game to fight for a better place for the team," Alegria said. ”

In the eyes of his teammates, Beñarosa is a particularly professional player. In the middle of this year's Chinese League, Beniarosa was unable to participate in the team's joint training and confrontation due to injury, but he was not idle, and he would come to the training ground for every training session of the team, and while training alone on the sidelines, he listened to the coach's guidance and arrangement of the whole team.

Alegria and Beniarosa have not only won praise from their teammates, but also won a good reputation among the Guangzhou fans, because they are very friendly and warm to the fans. At every fan open day, they enthusiastically signed autographs and took photos of fans, and they did not end their "work" for the day until the last fan signed and left.

Now that the families of the two Colombia players have arrived in Guangzhou, they can better adapt to life in a foreign country. Interestingly, both Alegria and Beniarosa share the same habit of stepping barefoot on the pitch before a match, why do that? "Every time I step barefoot, I'm grateful that God was able to put me on the field," Alegria said. It's not just a habit, it's part of our cultural beliefs, and we all want to be a strong version of ourselves. ”
