When China pushed into football in the 2010s, it only really lasted five years or so, but it looks to me like this will be more sustained, especially given the success of the project so far.
Very hopeful that Diaz gets a chance to develop some chemistry with Gakpo and whichever midfielder ends on sitting on the left. When he played last season he was probably our most dangerous attacker, even though he was kind of going solo a lot of the time. If he has a partner over there like Mane had in Robertson, he’ll be even more effective.
