Fortunately, there are a few international players who have shown remarkable strength in overseas matches, taking Tu Linli, who plays in the Icelandic sub-league, as an example. She had made a name for herself in last year's densely-packed NCAA tournament in the United States, and then took the plunge and traveled to Iceland to join the FHLL club. This season, she has scored 15 goals in 16 rounds of league matches, leading the scorers' list, and is poised to win the league's Golden Boot. Her team also holds the fifth position in the table with 26 points.

On the contrary, China's women's soccer team, the road to stay in the ocean is bright, in contrast, China's men's soccer team's international players have returned to the domestic game. With Wu Lei bidding farewell to Spaniards and returning to Shanghai Harbour, almost all the local players, except the naturalized ones, are fighting in the Chinese Super League. At present, only Li Lei is still sticking to the Chinese-funded Swiss club Grasshopper.

Nowadays, the attention of the Chinese Super League has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and the competitiveness of the league has returned to its pre-2010 level. Many men's international soccer players have stayed at home to play. This is a thought-provoking question.
