▷ 5-1! China's soccer team wins big as China's Crow explodes!
The national soccer team coached by Jankovic is currently training in Abu Dhabi, UAE. In order to test the effectiveness of the training, the national soccer team invited the Regional Sports team of the UAE's second division to warm up. In this match, the national soccer team scored five goals. Apart from Wu Lei, the other four goals were scored by young players. 26-year-old Lin Liangming scored two goals by himself; 26-year-old Zhang Yuning scored a goal; and 23-year-old Jiang Shenglong also scored a goal.
Among them, Lin Liangming's performance is undoubtedly the most striking. Because this player, who used to study in Real Madrid, was expected too much by the fans. On the one hand, the expectations are too high, on the other hand, he can not find his goal-scoring form in the national team, which makes Lin Liangming described by many fans as "the second Dong Fangzhuo".
Looking back at Lin Liangming's career with the national team, how much of it can be described as a late bloomer.
Lin Liangming was selected for the national team for the first time in February this year. He was previously selected for the Olympics and National Youth. After some calculations, Lin Liangming was actually selected to the national soccer team for the first time at the age of 26. Of course, this situation is not new in the national team. For example, Tan Long, 35 years old, was 30 years old when he was first selected for the national team. Now he is still a starter in the national soccer team. This shows that our international players seem to be getting older and more flavorful.
Lin Liangming's first goal for the national team came in the national soccer team's 4-0 win over Myanmar. At that time, Lin Liangming started and scored a goal. Together with the two goals scored in this warm-up game, Lin Liangming has delivered three goals in the national team's warm-up series this year. However, Lin Liangming has yet to score a goal in an official game for the national soccer team. That's why many fans are expecting him to break out at the Asian Cup.
▷ Will he be able to prove himself in the Asian Cup, from Real Madrid to Central League?
Lin Liangming is known as China's Cairo, mainly because he once studied at Real Madrid, and in order to enter the first team of Real Madrid, he adopted the "Cairo" style of self-training.
In the summer of 2015, Lin Liangming moved to Real Madrid! and through his efforts made it into the Real Madrid U19 team! The following season, Lin Liangming once again made it to Real Madrid's B team, Castilla. Everything seemed to be going in the right direction.
However, Real Madrid's ultra-competitive pressure still made Lin Liangming realize his shortcomings. In the goal of impacting the first team, he has lost out to players such as Arsenal's current captain Odego, Ashraf and Valverde. This also made Lin Liangming gradually marginalized by Real Madrid.
But Lin Liangming didn't give up. In the period when Chinese soccer entered the golden dollar soccer, Lin Liangming did not return to the Chinese Super League to make money like Wei Shihao and Zhang Yuning, but continued to choose to travel in Europe. This also made Lin Liangming directly miss the dividends of the golden dollar soccer period.
When Lin Liangming finally returned to Chinese soccer in 2020, the dividends of gold-dollar soccer were long gone. The club he joined, Dalian Ren, was relegated directly to China A this season.
Based on his stats over the past three seasons, Lin Liangming himself is playing better and better. If he continues to score goals at this year's Asian Cup, then Lin Liangming will become a hot commodity in the Chinese Super League. Instead, the former Real Madrid student will regret becoming the second "Dong Fangzhuo".
