There have been many players and coaches introduced with the Bundesliga. Taking Chinese players' overseas study as an example, Yang Chen, Xie Hui, Zhang Xiaorui, Shao Jiayi and Hao Junmin have all played records in the German professional league, and Zhang Xizhe also briefly joined Wolfsburg, although he failed to get a chance to play.

Although there have been no Chinese players in the Bundesliga and Bundesliga for more than 10 years, Weidenfell emphasized, "I know that several Chinese players have achieved good results in Germany in the past 20 or 30 years. I think the Bundesliga has always welcomed Chinese players. If there is a suitable opportunity, I believe that Chinese players will come to play in the Bundesliga."

Regarding the development of Chinese players, Weidenfell also shared his own views, "In the past few years of youth training to career transformation, you must be prepared enough. If you have the opportunity to participate in training camps like coming to Germany, it is also a good opportunity to improve."

"Of course, from the youth training stage to the professional stage, you must always maintain a modest attitude and focus on football. If you have the opportunity to study abroad in Germany, you also need to adapt to many situations of playing football abroad as soon as possible."
