The news was released on June 11, and the starting lineup for the men's national soccer team against South Korea has been confirmed, with 29-year-old Yang Zexiang making his national team debut in the match!
Yang Zexiang joined Tianjin Teda's youth team at the age of 13 and was promoted to the first-team squad at the age of 20, however he still had not been given his first-team debut until he left the team at the age of 24.
In 2022, 27-year-old Yang Zexiang made his CSL debut for Shenhua in Baoding Rongda, Dalian Super League and Chengdu Rongcheng. But in this match, Yang Zexiang was sent off with a straight red for flying kicking an opponent after two minutes of substitute appearance.
Last season and this season, Yang Zexiang stood firm at Shenhua. Today, he will make his debut in the do-or-die match against South Korea in the National Soccer World Cup Qualifiers. As a right back, he will face Tottenham star Son Heung-kin.
