On the evening of June 9th, Beijing time, domestic media confirmed that due to Wang Zhenao’s unsatisfactory recovery from injury, 29-year-old Shenhua defender Yang Zexiang is expected to make his national team debut against South Korea.
Currently, the Chinese men’s football team is experiencing a shortage of players at the right back position. Micro Motion Wings, who was selected for the list, bid farewell to the round of 36 early due to surgery. Wang Zhenao, who started the last game, suffered a knee injury. Whether he can catch up with South Korea is still unknown. As a result, Yang Zexiang became the first choice for the national football team's right back.
Although Yang Zexiang plays as a left back in Shenhua, he is actually a right back, so there is no adaptation problem. Moreover, in the game against South Korea, the national football team will focus on defense. It is undoubtedly very suitable to choose Yang Zexiang, who is good at defense.
Before the training on the 9th, Yang Zexiang himself also accepted an interview with the media and bluntly said that he was ready to play: "This is definitely ready, because I have slowly played from the bench to now, no matter when, Whether I am the main player or the substitute, I am 100% prepared for the possibility that the coach will let me play."
Yang Zexiang also encouraged his teammates not to be afraid of the Korean team, because they also have their own shortcomings: "They have their own shortcomings. There are many stars in the team, and Son Heung-min is also the second most valuable player in Asia. They have strong personal abilities, but I think they may have shortcomings as a team. This is our opportunity. We still have to calm down. Only in this way can we exert 100% of our strength and achieve a good result."
The Shenhua main player also bluntly said that he would treat Sun Xingmin as an ordinary opponent: "Even if I face Sun Xingmin, I will treat him as if he is playing in the Chinese Super League. Do your job well, no matter how big a player he is, when he comes to me, I will not let him handle the ball too easily. ”
When Yang Zexiang was about to make his national football debut, his wife. Zai also immediately encouraged him on social media, and also posted a video of her watching the national football team as a family member of a player for the first time. Yang Zexiang's wife wrote: "The green field without you is not perfect. My eyes are full of regrets, my heart is helpless, and full of regrets. There must be a dawn ahead, come on, my boy."
I believe that with the encouragement of his wife, 29-year-old Yang Zexiang is in In the game against South Korea, we will definitely go all out and play our role in the promotion of the Chinese men's football team.
