Maiwulang Jimiti, 20 years old, a front-court attacking player trained by Shandong Taishan's own academy, made his debut wearing the No. 28 jersey in Shandong Taishan's away challenge to Shanghai Port last night, and was widely praised by Taishan fans on major online platforms after the game.
Why is Mai Wulang so well received, what does he do on the field, and how much does he play a role in the team? Let's find out through the most objective match data:
1. What position does Mai Wulang play?
From the point of view of the starting position, Mai Wulang is partnered with Pato to appear in the forward position, but in the actual battle, Mai Wulang's position is very flexible, please see the following picture of Mai Wulang's running heat map:
Looking at this picture alone, is it difficult to judge Mai Wulang's position on the field? Mai Wulang is too capable of running, and his footprints cover the front, middle and back three areas. Any fan will know how much a player can help the team and teammates when he can run on the field.
2. The actual combat effect of buying Wulang
There were 29 touches, 13 passes and 10 successful passes, a 77 per cent success rate.
Did Shanghai Port give up the midfield and shrink back in defense in this game? Not at all! They were surrounded by high pressure all over the field, and many times it was very difficult for the Taishan team to play the ball in the midfield, and it was in such a high-intensity game that Mai Wulang completed 13 passes and only made 3 mistakes, and the pass success rate was 77 percent, while the average pass success rate of the whole team was 67 percent, and Mai Wulang was 10 percentage points higher than the whole team, which was commendable.

Who is fighting for the header of Mai Wulang? Is it Zhang Linpeng, Jiang Guangtai, is Rusa......
Who is fighting for the ground of Wulang? Is it Oscar, Vargas, Wu Lei......
A total of 17 times in the game with these Super League celebrities to compete for the header and grab the ground, even if he did not have the upper hand, his participation in the midfield itself has achieved the tactical goal, not to mention the success of 7 times and 2 tackles.
3 fouls, 3 fouls?
Mai Wulang's 3 fouls are all in the midfield, there are no unnecessary fouls, and there are no malicious fouls, if a foul can block an opponent's fast attack, isn't this an effective way to defend?
What is the concept of being fouled 3 times? It shows that when Mai Wulang was holding the ball, at least three times he became a threat, and the opponent had no better way to stop it, so he had to foul him.
3 dribbles on the field, 1 success, 1 conceded.
It's not a big deal for a young player to be beaten once, and there's nothing to brag about if he succeeds once, but the courage of a young player to try and pass is different from Cressan's savagery. Cressan succeeds once, and the teammates on the field may not be troubled, but if Mai Wulang succeeds once, the teammates must be in high spirits.
1 offside, 1 shot on goal, 1 blocked
Appearing in an offside position indicates that Mai Wulang is in a position high enough when he participates in the attack, and a shot on goal indicates that he has obtained a certain opportunity through himself, and being blocked is a reminder that Mai Wulang still needs to be honed in the choice of shooting timing and footwork.
3. The role and enlightenment of Mai Wulang
First of all, Mai Wulang's large-scale running and active scrambling throughout the court successfully helped his teammates share the pressure tactically.
Secondly, Mai Wulang's youthful momentum has brought visible youthful vitality to the team.
Third, as a young player, even if there are some mistakes on the field, the fans will be more tolerant, because young people pay tuition on the field today, and they may have a rich reward tomorrow.
Finally, when young players such as Mai Ulang can bring positive meaning to the team, what is the point of their presence on the field like Pato?
Every player who wears the jersey of Shandong Taishan team and works hard for the team will be respected by our fans. But in competitive sports, if the capable are still inactive when given too many opportunities, then they can only survive the fittest, and they will naturally choose.
