Yang Chen: 16 goal from the Bundesliga, the top player in the five major leagues.
Although China players have studied abroad before, playing in five major leagues in Europe is an unfulfilled dream for them. Yang Chen, a striker from Beijing Guoan, finally took a historic step on behalf of China football at 1998. 1in may, 998, Yang Chen went to Frankfurt for trial training, and he won the appreciation of the team with his excellent and stable performance.

Just when the fans doubted whether they could adapt to the Bundesliga as soon as possible, "China Yang" quickly dispelled people's doubts with his performance on the court. 1August 998 14 is a historic moment for China football. Yang Chen made his debut in the Frankfurt away game against Duisburg, and China players made their debut in the five major leagues in Europe.

It is no exaggeration to say that China Yang is the absolute hero of the team's relegation.
However, the honeymoon between Yang Chen and Frankfurt lasted only one season.

As an important figure in China football at that time, Yang Chen was once sought after by fans. His dream experience in Frankfurt made "China Yang" synonymous with China football for a long time.
