That means Li YingYing will be playing abroad?
What is the rumour?
Arina or Vargas in Tianjin wouldn’t have any impact on LYY’s chance to play abroad. Even if Arina will go there, I believe Tianjin’s plan is to have Arina playing alongside with LYY instead of taking Li’s place to let Li play abroad for the whole season. Tianjin wouldn’t take any risk of losing the Chinese league. LYY can only have a chance to play abroad after the Chinese league ends.
I guess Tianjin probably doesn’t want to risk to have an injured Vargas resting in China for another season again after this summer. Arina won’t have NT duty, she is the best fit for Tianjin, as well as for SB to keep this big chunk of money from China.
