For 17-year-old Wang Yudong, he didn't care too much about the manager's intentions, and he gave it his all when he came on the pitch. In the 82nd minute, just two minutes after coming on as a substitute, Wang Yudong created a threat on the right. He passed the ball accurately to the goal, and the keeper blocked it in time to prevent his teammates from following up.
In the 88th minute, Li Tixiang sent a pass over the top, Wang Yudong quickly inserted into the penalty area, after receiving the ball steadily with his right foot, he took a shot with his left foot, but unfortunately, it was parried out by the opponent's goalkeeper.
It is worth mentioning that Wang Yudong's shot was the first time that Zhejiang team had ever shot on goal in the whole game. Although his playing time was only 10 minutes, his performance on the field left a deep impression on the fans. He succeeded in getting rid of the opponent's defense several times with a very dry action, and the shot in the penalty area also seemed easy. After the game, many media people have called for Zhejiang team should focus on training Wang Yudong, especially for the AFC Champions League.
In this match against the Lions Mariners, Jordy chose the 34-year-old Gaudi to start. Gaudi completed only one shot on goal in the whole match, and this shot was blocked by the opponent. He succeeded in 16 out of 21 passes with a passing success rate of 76%. In contrast, Wang Yudong, after coming on as a substitute, had a shot on target in 10 minutes and also had two successful crosses. Obviously, Wang Yudong's desire to perform in the AFC Champions League is stronger and his development value is higher.
In fact, fans are not only hoping that Zhejiang will actively develop Wang Yudong, but also calling on national soccer coach Ivan to pay attention to the 17-year-old. Just like Spain used 17-year-old Yamal at the Euros, the Chinese men's soccer team should consider bringing Wang Yudong to the 18-team tournament. Ivan dared to promote Bayhramu, who didn't score any goals in the Chinese Super League during the 36-team tournament, so will he be bold enough to promote Wang Yudong in the 18-team tournament as well?
