Although he is not high in the center, he is physically strong and bounces well, which ensures his ability to score headers; although the dribbling is not good, it is faster and the ball sense is better, which ensures his ability to hold the ball and advance; although the impact is insufficient, the shooting technique is superb, the shooting power is full, and there is a good free kick skill, which ensures his threat to the goal.
——Walking through the peak, walking through the trough, having had glory, there has been loneliness, and what remains unchanged is that he is as low-key as ever.
——He has written his own magical chapter in the history of Chinese football with one goal after another, one championship after another, and one record after another.
