Social evaluation
Yang Chen is the first owner in the history of Beijing Guoan No.10 Jersey. As the main forward of the National Olympic team, Yang Chen scored the first goal in the history of professional league on behalf of Guoan in 1994. The young talent of that year in the Chinese football world seems to have a bright future, but no one expected that Yang Chen would become the beginning of No. 10 curse. In the national security array, there are two high gold combinations first, and then three foreign guns. In front of them, talented young people can only sit on the bench. Even so, Yang Chen still scored seven goals for Guoan team in limited playing time.
Although Yang Chen was brilliant in the Bundesliga after leaving Guoan and participated in the 2002 World Cup on behalf of the Chinese team as a key player, he has never been re used in Guoan's career, which may become a permanent regret for Yang Chen and even Beijing fans.
