SIPG challenged Nantong Zhiyun away in the fifth round of the Chinese Super League in the new season, and this game has a very special meaning for goalkeeper Yan Junling. Because, this is Yan Junling's 300th Super League game on behalf of SIPG. Therefore, Yan Junling hopes to use a victory and a clean sheet to commemorate his 300th Super League commemoration in SIPG. The overall strength of SIPG is a notch higher, and it has been pressing Nantong Zhiyun to kick. SIPG successfully scored two points in the first half by the number one star Wu Lei, and both were hit by Oscar, leading 2-0.
After SIPG led 2-0, he deliberately closed the kick. SIPG coach Muscat hoped to stay strong for the next round, so he replaced a number of main players led by Wu Lei early. Many of SIPG's main forces went down, so Nantong Zhiyun organized a decent attack, creating a threat to the gate guarded by Yan Junling. Yan Junling used a world-class attack to defuse the threat of Nantong Zhiyun's attack.
In the end, SIPG defeated Nantong Zhiyun 3-0 without blood, and at the same time allowed Yan Junling to complete the goal of a clean sheet. Yan Junling has unknowingly played 300 Chinese Super League games for SIPG, allowing him to book the best goalkeeper in team history in advance. Since the Shanghai Port team overtook the goalkeeper position, it has focused on cultivating Yan Junling to play the main force. Yan Junling's first season in the Chinese Super League on behalf of SIPG was not good, and there were undue mistakes, which were questioned by fans and the media.
At that time, many fans regarded Yan Junling as the weakest link in SIPG's defense, and felt that the team should strengthen the new signings in the goalkeeper position. Fortunately, SIPG's senior management and coaching staff did not give up on Yan Junling because of this. On the contrary, SIPG invited high-level goalkeeper coach Walker for Yan Junling, and his goalkeeping level has improved by leaps and bounds under Walker's tutelage. Yan Junling became the patron saint of the team in SIPG, and made wonderful saves in the game many times, winning the recognition of fans. When Peilan coached the national football team, he recruited Yan Junling into the national team. Yan Junling's position in the Peilan national football team is the No. 3 national goal, and he plays as a substitute for Wang Dalei. As Yan Junling played better and better in SIPG, he finally became the starter of the national football team.
After the national football team played in the 2018 World Preliminaries, he gave the starting goalkeeper position of the national team to Yan Junling. Yan Junling officially started his career as the main goalkeeper of the national football team, and he played steadily in most games. Considering the recent Chinese Super League games, Wang Dalei was unable to play due to injury, and his state was not guaranteed. Then, in the national football team's home game against Thailand in June, Yan Junling may return to the team's main lineup again. It is hoped that Yan Junling can continue to perform well at that time and help the national football team defeat the Thai team at home and advance to the round of 18 in advance.
