Talking about Liu Chengyu, this young striker at the age of 18 has not only become the future star of Shenhua with his excellent skills and impressive performance, but also plays a pivotal role in the National Youth Football Team. Despite his young age, Liu Chengyu's technical characteristics are exceptionally distinctive. His excellent dribbling skills and precise shooting ability are particularly outstanding. In the U21 league, he averaged 5.3 shots per game, and his goal scoring efficiency was as high as 30%. Such efficient scoring ability has made him quickly emerge among his peers and become a powerful weapon in the attack of Shenhua U21 youth team.
In terms of ball control and dribbling, Liu Chengyu also shows remarkable flexibility. He is able to turn around quickly in narrow spaces, get rid of the opponent's defense with delicate footwork, and create space for the team's attack. This kind of flexible skill with the ball not only allows him to create threats on the side road, but also can go deep into the opponent's penalty area, creating more scoring opportunities for the team. His sharp shooting is his killer app, whether it is a long-distance shot or a point-blank shot, Liu Chengyu can show a high degree of accuracy and scoring efficiency, so that the opponent's goalkeeper can not be defended.
Liu Chengyu's individual ability is so outstanding that he is not only unique in the Shenhua U21 team, but also plays an increasingly important role in the national youth team. He has shown remarkable talent in international matches, especially in the Four Nations Tournament against South Korea, where he became a star, helping the national youth team win 2:0 in two matches, which can be considered his claim to fame.
However, such a potential international star, but for various reasons failed to get Shenhua first-team coach Slutsky's favor, long-term relegated to the bench, become a spectator in the audience. In the five big leagues, many players of the same age have been able to take charge, while Liu Chengyu such a good seedling has not been able to get reused, which can not help but make people feel sorry.
