As we all know, in the past, we all said that the biggest problem of the national football team was the weakness of the front. But starting this year, no fan will say that because the problem of our front line has been solved. And the way we solved the problem of the front line is not because we have 4 naturalized strikers at once, and it turns out that neither Axon, Alain, Lo Guofu nor Fernando Fernando has helped the national football team to achieve a breakthrough in performance. And for now, they can't even play in key games for the national football team. So in the end, the solution to the problem of the national football front goal is our local forward, such as the top 12 in the top 12 is our Wulei Wuqiu king, and in addition to Wulei, there is another person who is very important, he is the 25-year-old local center Zhang Yuning.
We usually say that the national football team is weak, in fact, one is the lack of finishing ability of the front, and the other is that the national football team lacks a strong center, and there is no way to put pressure on the opponent in the center position, attract and pull the defense, and it is difficult for our wing players to score goals. Before that, we didn't have a good center forward, mainly because in the Chinese Super League, this position is all played by foreign aid, and there is no local player or anything. If the local center can't play, naturally there will be no talent. Zhang Yuning is different, Zhang Yuning's fame is not in the Chinese Super League, he landed in the Dutch league at the age of 18. At the age of 19, he scored the first goal of the Dutch First Division, and was also the first goal of the Chinese player, and in 2016, at the age of only 19, he made his debut in the national team twice, becoming the youngest international footballer in the history of national football to score on his debut, breaking the record of the youngest player in the Chinese national team to score a goal for the first time, at an age of 19 years, 4 months and 29 days.
But soon Zhang Yuning fell into a low point because of a failed transfer. After moving to the Bundesliga team Bremen, he did not play for 1 minute for a whole season, and was later called up to the 95 national youth team by cross-level, where he was seriously injured in the game against the Asian Games, which affected the development of Liuyang. So he returned to the Chinese Super League from the Dutch First Hague team and joined the Beijing Guoan team. At the time when the Beijing Guoan team lacked a center forward fulcrum, Zhang Yuning was reused. After two seasons of training, Zhang Yuning began to mature. Especially this season, when the big-name foreign attacker left the team, Zhang Yuning began to get closer to the goal, and his finishing ability also began to show, first scoring goals with the national team in the World Preliminary Round, and then scoring 10 goals in the Chinese Super League, equalizing the rising Guo Tianyu.
And now many fans believe that Zhang Yuning is definitely the main center of the national football team in the next 5 years. Although he does not have the height advantage of Guo Tianyu, his ability to take the ball, physical confrontation, and ability to run and grab points, and even the ability to face the fast pace of international competitions are currently much better than Guo Tianyu, which is actually talent and experience. However, whether Zhang Yuning can sit firmly in the position of the main center of the national team, in addition to his own efforts, still depends on the growth rate of competitors. For example, Guo Tianyu, who has a height advantage, and some new local centers.
Recently, a powerful competitor of Zhang Yuning has awakened. He is shan huanhuan, a returnee center who currently plays for Dalian. In the final round of the Chinese Super League, he shined, scoring twice in a single game, and both goals were very exciting. At that time, Dalian's opponent was Qingdao, and in the 37th minute of the game, when Sun Guowen crossed from the left side of the road, Tao Qianglong on the left side of the penalty area chose to eject from the outside foot, and the goalkeeper Shen Yong saved the ball, but Shan Huanhuan, who was buried in the small penalty area, suddenly killed, he scored the ball in, dalian people led 1-0! This ball can be seen that Shan Huanhuan's sense of smell in front of the goal has been found.
Then it was the 84th minute of the game, Sun Bo arced on the left side of the straight plug, Shan Huanhuan led the ball to form a single knife, but the angle was too small, he did not choose to shoot, but paused, and then clipped 2 defenders and shot twice in front of the small penalty area, the score became 4-1, dalian people locked in the victory. This ball can be seen that in the penalty area, Shan Huanhuan is very calm and mature in handling the ball, which is the true color of a killer.
It is worth noting that these two goals are Shan Huanhuan's first hurdle this season. Some fans will have doubts, Zhang Yuning scored 10 goals, he scored 2, how can there be a threat to Zhang Yuning? But in fact, you have been paying attention to the two people. Born in 1999, Shan Huanhuan is 2 years younger than Zhang Yuning, has an advantage in age, and he has been rated as one of the world's 60 novae at the age of 99 by the British "Guardian", with official certification. And Shan Huanhuan has also stayed in Europe, he once joined the Portuguese Premier League team Guimarães, in the Guimarães echelon, Shan Huanhuan has always been the team's main center, often in key games to play a double.
And the most crucial thing is that when Hiddink coached the 97 national Olympic team, his preferred center was Shan Huanhuan, not Zhang Yuning. Because at that time, Shan Huanhuan played more than Zhang Yuning, the state was better than Zhang Yuning, and at the same height and equally strong, Shan Huanhuan's speed was faster, the forward impact was stronger, and it was particularly useful when playing counterattack. And at that time, Hiddink's performance in charge of the national Olympic team declined until the end of the class, a very important reason was that Shan Huanhuan was injured in the Toulon Cup, and then he could not find a replacement for the same type of center, and the attacking power of the national Olympic team was greatly reduced.
Later, also due to injury, Shan Huanhuan's career in yangyang was terminated, and he returned to China to join the Dalian renren team that was preparing for the youth storm. But it is a pity that Shan Huanhuan's recovery from injury has never reached the standard of playing. So after a full season of rest, Shan Huanhuan returned to the field this season. However, Shan Huanhuan, who has not played in the past 2 years, has always found no feeling in the Chinese Super League, the rhythm cannot keep up, and the shots are not on the point, which makes people look anxious. Even many people have questions about Shan Huanhuan, believing that he was ruined after he was seriously injured. But finally in the final round of the Chinese Super League he broke out, two beautiful goals that showed us what he was capable of and what he could potential.
Good food is not afraid of late, Shan Huanhuan finds feelings through the game, for Dalian people relegation and national football are a good thing, we are looking forward to the situation of the national football center position on the three legs, with competition, there will be stronger players appear. Who are you most bullish on at the top 3 centers so far? Why? Friends are welcome to discuss together in the comment area!
