According to Soccer News, the Chinese duo formerly of Celtic Women will continue their overseas careers in Europe in the new season. Following Shen Menglu’s move to mid-table Frauen-Bundesliga team Bayer Leverkusen, on August 2, Shen Mengyu officially joined London City Lionesses of the FA Women’s Championship, aiming to establish herself before challenging for a spot in the FA Women’s Super League.
The media commented that while many Chinese women’s football players who went abroad are returning home, Shen Mengyu and her former teammate Shen Menglu have made the opposite choice. For China’s women’s football, going abroad remains a shortcut to enhancing player strength and experience and narrowing the gap with Japan and South Korea. Taking Shen Mengyu as an example, choosing a pragmatic and planned approach to gradually improve is the best path to solidly entering the top women’s football leagues when current capabilities are not yet sufficient.
