Yao Di has left for Italy.
"Five years, the birthday wish finally came true".
I didn't know she wanted to go abroad since 2017-18. All the more respect to her especially after Tokyo. Many other players in her shoes may have given up and retired to get a cushy job in Tianjin.
Also, the rumors i have heard indicate that she got an offer last year to a team in VVSL, but for various reasons was not able to go.
