"Your goalkeeper is so tall."
In 2016, when Zhao Lina participated in the Rio Olympics with the team, the staff of the Rio Olympic Organizing Committee told Chinese reporters.
Zhao Lina, who is 1.87 meters, is definitely a special existence in the crowd, not only tall, but also very beautiful, with a look and temperament similar to Korean star Jun Ji-hyun...
Join the national team and win a gold medal
When Zhao Lina was in elementary school for a year, because of her outstanding height and good physical fitness, she was caught by coach Qian Hui at a glance, began to participate in formal football training, entered Shanghai Putuo Football School, and became a professional athlete.
After several years of hard training, she entered the Shanghai Sports School and was promoted to the Shanghai team.
It is even rarer for someone like Zhao Lina to successfully enter the national team by relying on her own efforts, and she has also been noticed by the audience because of her beautiful appearance, but in the Rio Olympics, she was questioned by netizens about her ability.
The French coach set Zhao Lina as the main goalkeeper, and despite everyone's best efforts on the pitch, they still lost the first game against Brazil.
After netizens saw it, they were complaining that it was Zhao Lina's reason, attributing these to the fact that she lost three balls, and called her a "vase" with no hard power.
But in this game, without Zhao Lina's brave save, the score may have been more tragic than 0:3, and after the game, the staff in Rio also comforted the Chinese reporters, saying "Your goalkeeper is really tall." ”
Zhao Lina's height of 1.87 meters is indeed very conspicuous on the court, and in her subsequent career, she trained harder to make up for her shortcomings.
In the subsequent match with the United States, Zhao Lina kept the goal without conceding, helping the Chinese team win the game 1:0, and ending the 22-game winless record between the Chinese women's football team and the United States team.
She also successfully tore off the "vase" label on her body little by little, and also gained a lot of fans with her figure and appearance, known as "the first beauty of women's football", and even had the title of "the most beautiful goalkeeper".
In addition to training, she often releases some videos to teach everyone how to play football, and some netizens found that she wore an evening dress to participate in the event, looking like Korean star Jun Ji-hyun.
Those slender long legs, coupled with exquisite makeup, stand with the star and have no loss in appearance or temperament, beautiful and sassy, and have a wave of appearance powder.
Some netizens sighed that this appearance and this figure are more than enough even if they go to the mixed modeling circle, not to mention, there are really modeling companies that have come to her.
It's just that Zhao Lina thinks it's not interesting to be a model, and she still prefers the feeling of running wantonly on the court, in addition to playing football, Zhao Lina's favorite thing is to play drums.
In addition to training, she would find a place to practice drumming by herself, and then participate in performances and performances with her friends when she had time, but this hobby was not understood by everyone.
Many netizens felt that she should spend more time on training, but Zhao Lina ignored these online remarks, and soon she proved herself with her results.
In 2022, Zhao Lina went to India with her teammates to participate in the Women's Asian Cup, and in the second game of the group stage, she played against Iran and successfully won the game with a 7:0 result with her teammates.
After that, he played against the South Korean team and won the championship in one fell swoop, which was the first time in 16 years that the Chinese team was crowned the champion of the event again, and it was also the only gold medal won by Zhao Lina in the national team.
This appearance made the previous questioning voices disappear, everyone not only praised her beauty and good figure, but also affirmed her strength, but just when everyone was waiting to watch her next competition, the news of Zhao Lina's retirement came.
After retiring, he was abused
On April 15, 2023, Zhao Lina posted on her social account announcing her retirement, in which she said that she was only retiring and would not leave football, and she was still a football player.
In the next few years, she will go to 100 primary schools in remote areas to provide children with football training opportunities and let more children participate in this sport.
After that, she frequently appeared on the Internet, attended several programs, and launched her own singles, and lived a very rich life after retiring, although she made the decision to retire, her family was very supportive, but she was still a little worried.
At Zhao Lina's retirement ceremony, her father sat in the audience early, and during the entire retirement ceremony, her father did not say a word and watched quietly.
In fact, the father doesn't care about whether his daughter retires at all, as long as it is his daughter's own decision, he will support and respect his choice, but he is most worried about his daughter's life events.
As long as this topic is discussed, the usually taciturn father immediately complains that he is busy with work all day long and does not know who to do, and it will be too late if he doesn't look for it.
My father's favorite program is "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", as long as he rests at home, he will turn on the TV to watch it, and his mother will joke when she sees it, "How about it, have you chosen a son-in-law?" ”
When they knew that Zhao Lina had received an invitation to the program "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", they hurriedly urged her to go quickly, and they couldn't wait for her to find a partner to talk about marriage immediately.
And Zhao Lina's height advantage has become a disadvantage when it comes to her father, who feels that she is too tall, and it is difficult to find a partner, and if she is not in a hurry, it will be even more difficult to get older in the future.
Zhao Lina didn't seem to be in a hurry in this regard, she was concentrating on work, and later participated in "Riding the Wind 2023", singing and dancing on stage made her feel like she was back in the women's football team.
In this show, she felt that the biggest gain was that she lost 8 pounds, and in order to make the stage show a good effect, she gritted her teeth and insisted even if she was tired.
Because her height is too high, the whole stage seems not harmonious, although no one else on the show said anything, but she knows it in her own heart.
After getting along with her sisters, she sometimes asks them if they like to play football, or if there are any children in the family who like it, and she can teach them for free.
It's like a promoter of football, and choosing to participate in this show is more about letting more people see the group of female football players.
didn't expect her to be exposed to the public with such a high intensity, but it caused netizens to not understand, and even abused her in her live broadcast room.
In February 2024, Zhao Lina suddenly cried during the live broadcast, angrily scolding some netizens, and some friends who had just entered the comment area had been asking what was going on.
In fact, after she retired, she took an advertising endorsement, coupled with frequent live broadcasts, and some fans said that she would be closed when she brought goods live, and she also said some ugly things.
At first, Zhao Lina didn't pay attention to these voices, but it made these people even more rampant, and she couldn't hold back for a while before crying in the live broadcast room.
She feels that she has retired, and there is nothing wrong with receiving some endorsements to make money, and she broadcasts live every day to raise funds and build stadiums for everyone, all of which is to carry forward the sport of football.
And some people don't understand it, and they keep scolding her below, which makes her feel very sad, and she is treated like this when she knows that she has done nothing wrong.
After this matter was known to more people, many netizens said that when Zhao Lina was in the national team, she was innocent, and now that she is retired, there is no problem with endorsement advertising.
epilogue
It didn't take long for Na Ying's participation in "Singer 2024" to spread on the Internet, especially "Teacher Na Ying guards the country" directly on the hot search.
Zhao Lina also followed the trend and posted a short video on her account, where she was seen wearing a white casual sportswear and holding a football in her hand, explaining to everyone some of the postures of the goalkeeper, and then cheering for Na Ying.
