The Chinese media expressed envy over the transfer of Japanese players.
Japan's Soccer Digest Web reported on the 18th that `China has given envious eyes to the transfer of players who are too contrasting with their own countries.'
Soccer Digest Webb commented on the transfer of Japanese Takai Gota to Tottenham. Dahai completed his move to Tottenham this summer. He left with a transfer fee of 1 billion yen (about 9.3 billion won), a new J-League record. In response, China's Suho said a 1 billion yen man had headed to Tottenham.

Chinese media reported 'Japan's new generation of players is shining in Europe. In contrast to China, which has no players playing in the top five European leagues. There was a time when we fought physically with Japan. However, as Japanese soccer has developed now, the lack of good physical players has become a thing of the past.
As can be seen from the phrase "1 billion yen man" on Soccer Digest Web, China was shocked by the high transfer fee recorded by Japan. It also sheds light on the emergence of a new record as Shinji Ono's 8.8 billion yen transfer fee record was broken for the first time in 24 years. Chinese media praised Takai as the most promising defensive genius in Japanese football.

Takai recently confirmed his joining of Tottenham through an official announcement. Work permit (job visa) is also issued and Tottenham training is reportedly under way. Takai, who turns 21 in September this year, is over 190 centimeters tall, has a solid physicality and the right to provide. He also has good pass ability, contributing to a large part of the build-up, and has a wide range of abilities that promising defenders should have, such as forward dribbling. Takai, who has already accumulated considerable experience as a professional in his fourth year, has grown since his professional debut at Kawasaki Frontale in 2022.
Since September last year, he has also joined the Japanese national team. In the Asian Champions League Elite (ACLE), he even played against Alnasr and blocked Cristiano Ronaldo. Along with this performance, he also recorded a high transfer fee, drawing envy from China.
Despite the envy, it seems difficult for such a large transfer from the Chinese national team for the time being. China's much-anticipated Wang Yu-dong has been criticized for its poor performance recently.
