Original title: Local forward Zhang Yuning updates his personal goal record
A 3-1 win temporarily relieved Guoan. Why “temporary”? On the one hand, the team won the “deputy foreman”, which should be predictable; on the other hand, due to the adjustment of the schedule, the strength of the opponents in the next matches of Guoan is not bad, and the problem is yet to come. But as you can see from the victory, Guoan No. 9 Zhang Yuning scored again. The local forward has scored 11 goals this season, setting a personal best since playing in the Chinese Professional League. Looking back on the 4 seasons he arrived in Guoan, 25-year-old Zhang Yuning is still making continuous progress, from helpers alongside foreign players to the absolute core the team relies on today.
The Zhengyin center performed well
Left foot, right foot, header, these are the different ways Zhang Yuning uses to complete the goal. As a positive center, Zhang Yuning has proven with his wonderful performances in recent seasons that local players can also occupy a spot on the Chinese Super League top scorer list. Unlike many young people who made their career debuts in the Chinese Super League, Zhang Yuning started his career in Europe. In 2015 he played in Vitesse’s youth academy in the Netherlands. Foreign leagues pay attention to confrontation and at the same time pay attention to personal skills, which made Zhang Yuning, just arrived there, not quite used to it.
With his outstanding football talent and strong will, Zhang Yuning not only did not give up, but had more opportunities there. His technical and tactical qualities, especially his awareness and shooting skills, also made great progress. . In early 2019, Zhang Yuning, who ended his career overseas, chose to return to play in China. Although Guoan’s team had foreign strikers such as Bakambu at the time, both Schmidt and Genesio later gave him the opportunity to play. The rising Chinese striker has many opportunities: after one season, Zhang Yuning played 25 times in 30 league games, of which he started 19 games, scored 8 goals and also sent 5 assists, and completed a total of 67 shots. Although there is still a gap between these figures and foreign aid from the same period, Zhang Yuning had just returned to the Chinese League at the time and was only 22 years old.
You completed a transformation last season
In the following 2020 season, the new corona epidemic hit the sports field hard. The whole league has become a game system. The reduction in play and the fracture of the shoulder and phalanx caused Zhang Yuning to drop his data. He only played for Guoan that season 6 goals scored. Despite this, everyone knows that, being the most powerful player among domestic players with clear upward momentum, the future belongs to Zhang Yuning.
Last season was a turbulent season for Guoan: Jin Minzai, Vieira and Bakambu, who had previously joined the team at great cost, left the team one after another and the meritorious veteran Augusto also argued with the team. contract termination team. which means Therefore, the development of the team can no longer rely on strong foreign aid, and can only rely more on the performance of Chinese players.
It has also been since last season that Zhang Yuning completed a transformation. After two years of training and improvement, he has become a figure who can stand alone in the Guoan striker.Even without Bakambu helping him turn, without the exquisite passes of Vieira and Augusto, he can still score goals on his own. Statistics show that he played 20 games for the team last season, scoring 10 goals and providing 2 assists. This number doesn’t seem as obvious as other shooters, but considering Guoan only scored 26 goals in total last season, Zhang Yuning’s importance is evident. And foreign aid striker Anderson next to him has scored 2 goals in 8 games. It can be said that since that season Guoan’s local players have begun to “bring” foreign aid to play.
One person carries the attack banner
Entering 2022, Zhang Yuning’s performance has reached a new level. Maybe it was the blessing of the captain’s armband, or maybe because he knew he had a heavy responsibility, and did his best in every game, even causing the injury to recur in the summer. But despite this, Zhang Yuning carried the offensive banner alone when Guoan’s foreign aid was virtually unable to provide support in the offensive. He has so far played 16 times and scored 11 goals, which not only created a personal best in the Super League but also helped the team in times of crisis.
The two missed penalties against Guangzhou City made Zhang Yuning suffer for a while. team because he knew very well, how easy everything was. Fortunately, he quickly came out of the shadows of not scoring a penalty and scored two consecutive rounds.
The age of 25 is definitely a golden age for a professional player. As a local striker who played in the Chinese Super League for 4 years and completely became the focus of Guoan’s team, Zhang Yuning also takes on the responsibility of leading the team forward. . So far, he has done a good job in this task. (Reporter Zhang Kunlong)
