After helping the Chinese women's football team win the championship, Zhang Linyan returned to the Suzhou station with the team and gave a wired interview to "Football Night". During the period, when it comes to her own header breaking the goal, Zhang Linyan can't help but laugh and talk about how she has been ridiculed and questioned because she is too short.
In the connection with reporter Ai Tingting, Zhang Linyan talked about her national team debut, bluntly saying that she did not expect that the first game of the Asian Cup, Shui Qingxia,corpus, would send her to play, and after playing, she felt very nervous and led to poor play, her brain was blank, and even her teammates shouted that she could not hear her.
Speaking of her own confusion, Zhang Linyan also cutely made an expression that made herself overwhelmed and looked around.
When asked what special explanation the coach who replaced Wang Shuang in the final, Zhang Linyan said that it was to strengthen the attack. Zhang Linyan said that she did not expect to score in advance, and was only bent on disrupting the opponent's defense in the front court.
Soon, Zhang Linyan made a penalty, followed by a personal header to break the goal. Recalling her debut national team goal, Zhang Linyan said that when she saw her teammates passing the ball, she found that she had a big gap in front of her, and then quickly ran forward and smashed her head into it.
Speaking of this goal, the reporter ridiculed friends and said that they did not expect that the first goal of "Pippi" in the adult national team to participate in the competition was actually a header. After listening to the reporter's words, Zhang Linyan, who was only 1.54 meters tall and the shortest in the team, looked up and smiled happily.
This laugh evoked Zhang Linyan's memories! She recalls the ridicule she had made about whether her first goal after entering the national team would be a handball or a header. "It's a real header!" Zhang Linyan concluded with a smile (below).
So short and head to break the goal, Zhang Linyan laughed and talked about her being ridiculed, saying that many people had ridiculed her before, and there were teammates in this women's national team who joked like this.
The reporter then borrowed the message of netizens in the comment area, saying that this made the Korean women's football team feel bad, and let our Zhang Linyan score a header. Zhang Linyan responded that it may be that the opponent's physical fitness has declined, or it may be that she did not expect that "Jiali Sister" could pass one by two.
Talking about winning the Asian Cup this time, Zhang Linyan showed her mature side beyond her age. She said that this championship is used to spur herself, it is both motivation and pressure, and it is also a higher demand for the team, whether it is performance or performance.
In the interview, Zhang Linyan mentioned the pattern of women's football in the world, the rise of European women's football, and the asian powers more than once. These current conditions do not allow the Chinese women's football team to lie flat.
Zhang Linyan said that the goal of Chinese women's football is to walk well every day, because the European women's football team is developing rapidly, the top 8 of the World Cup are All European and American teams, and we strive to narrow the gap with European and American women's football.
It seems that she just took off in the final of the Women's Asian Cup and became famous in one battle, but friends who are familiar with Zhang Linyan have been optimistic about her as early as 10 years ago. In the connection, the interview with the young player "Black Sister" on the "Football Night" 10 years ago was also played back, and seeing her former self, Zhang Linyan cutely called "too ugly".
Yes, if no one reminds her, few people will think that Zhang Linyan is the same person as she was 10 years ago.
At that time, Zhang Linyan played football with a group of boys at the Evergrande Football School, and she once chased a boy until she finally knocked the other party down (below). This spirit of not conceding defeat did not make her give up playing when she was seriously injured twice in 3 years.
Talking about the two injuries that year, and when her mother gave up her job to take care of her, Zhang Linyan's eye sockets were moist (below). Suffering from this injury and uncertainty about the future, her mother even advised her to give up playing football at one point because of her good cultural achievements.
But Zhang Linyan persevered, and it is precisely because of her perseverance that she finally waited for the moment when she just passed her 21st birthday and helped the national team win the Asian Cup.
Zhang Linyan said that she wants to play football abroad next, wants to show herself on a higher stage, and hopes that her dream will come true.
