Recently, the Chinese women's football team defeated the South Korean team 3-2 in the final of the Asian Cup of Football in Mumbai, India! Many netizens praised its "sonorous rose"! At one point, I even wanted to equate the national football team with the women's football team.
In the first half of the game, the situation was once 0-2 behind, many fans pinched a handful of sweat, coupled with the women's football main Force Wang Shuang due to a foot injury, was "besieged" by the South Korean opponent's key "siege", most people think that they may lose.
However, a substitution adjustment of The Chinese women's football coach Shui Qingxia surprised most fans, because she replaced Wang Shuang, the "post-00" young player Zhang Linyan came off the bench, and her short stature was only 1.54 meters tall, and many fans were not familiar with her.
In the 72nd minute, Zhang Linyan inserted herself from outside the penalty area when Tang Jiali went down, and after Tang Jiali crossed out, she scored a wonderful header. The 2-2 equalizer boosted the morale of the Chinese team and finally achieved a deadlock.
After the match, Zhang Linyan, who was elected as the future star of the women's Asian Cup final, was interviewed, and she confidently expressed the joy of victory in front of the media: "Our goal is to win the championship, and we also have this confidence." ”
On the evening of February 8, David Beckham and Chinese female footballer Zhang Linyan staged a "dream linkage". Netizens turned over Zhang Linyan's previous meeting with Beckham, and it can be seen from the group photo that Beckham also gave her a autographed football.
Subsequently, Xiaobei forwarded Zhang Linyan's Weibo to congratulate her on winning the championship: "Linyan, I remember our meeting in 2013. You've been rewarded with hard work and you've achieved your dreams, which is fantastic. Congratulations again on winning the championship. ”
Immediately after Zhang Linyan @ 囧囧黑 is a genius, he responded by posting: "Thank you Uncle Bei for remembering me, the signature football that sent me has always been treasured at home, and I will continue to work hard." Many netizens sighed: "This is the power of example!" ”
According to the official website of the Chinese Football Association, Zhang Linyan was born on January 16, 2001 in Jiangyou City, Sichuan Province. She was lively and active since she was a child, very interested in football, began to play football at the age of 8, enrolled in Evergrande Football School for free at the age of 11, and jumped into the national youth at the age of 12.
Guangzhou Daily reported that in 2013, at the U-14 Women's Asian Championship, Zhang Linyan scored a hat-trick in an international competition for the first time. Due to her outstanding performance in the Asian Junior Championship, Zhang Linyan got the opportunity to meet David Beckham and also appeared on the "Football Night" program.
On the show, 12-year-old Zhang Linyan asked Beckham: "How to maintain a calm attitude under the fierce confrontation?" David Beckham told her: "It's important to stay focused and passionate about football. ”
At that time, the little girl also told Beckham that her wish was to "lead the Chinese women's football team beyond Sun Wen's era."
In an interview video of "Football Night", a shot was also given to Zhang Linyan's table, she wrote: "Don't be afraid of difficulties, start from scratch, surpass Sun Wen, unremitting efforts, you are the best, good and bright waiting, as long as you are willing to pay!" Zhang Linyan, you can do it! ”
Since 2013, Zhang Linyan has been the absolute scorer of guoshao. In 2019, Zhang Linyan registered with the Guangzhou Football Association and represented the Guangzhou women's football team in the women's second division league, and rushed to the first division that year. In the 2021 season, Zhang Linyan scored a total of 9 goals in the women's first division on behalf of Guangzhou, making the team's second place in the league. It was in the league's outstanding performance that Zhang Linyan was selected by Shui Qingxia to be included in the training list of the Chinese women's asian cup and contributed a stunning performance in the final of the Asian Cup.
What about being only 1.54 meters tall? It is already a difficult thing to focus on what you love and live up to your efforts, and Zhang Linyan, a young general of the "post-00s", has done it! I believe that after that, as a member of the Chinese women's football team, she can shine on more fields, and the spirit of women's football will never be defeated!
