For example, Wu Lei played China B at the age of 14, setting a record as the youngest player in the history of China's professional soccer league. at the age of 16, he played China A and scored 4 goals this season. at the age of 21, he scored 17 goals in China A, helping his team to go beyond. Later, Wu Lei's achievements in the Chinese Super League and La Liga need no elaboration. So the genius must be shown to excel at a young age.
Do we have such young people now? The answer is yes. In the 29th round of the Chinese Super League, Zhejiang team hosted Cangzhou Lions. Obviously, the difference between the two sides in this game was not small, so 16-year-old young player Wang Yudong also came on as a substitute in the second half.
I'm sure many fans know of Wang Yudong because he did very well for the national youth team in the previous U17 Asian Youth Championship. He played 6 matches (both qualifiers and tournaments) and scored a total of 11 goals. He was tied with Australia's top scorer, Ilan Kunda, as the top scorer in the qualifiers. Ilan Kunda is a favorite player of Bayern. So we also consider Wang Yudong to be our Ilan Kunda.
However, our Ilan Kunda did not leave the country. After the Asian Cup, Wang Yudong chose to join the Zhejiang team. Zhejiang team also directly enrolled him in the Chinese Super League to develop him. In addition, this season, 16-year-old Wang Yudong made his debut in the FA Cup, the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League. Wang Yudong also accomplished his first assist in the Chinese Super League in the 29th round of the Chinese Super League.
It's the 90+3rd minute of the game. Wang Yudong sent in a subtle ball that didn't see the people pass it. He managed to climb up the field, get offside and score easily in the quarter victory.VAR intervened and confirmed the goal, making the score 6-1! It's safe to say that the assist was enough to showcase the talent of the 16 year old boy.
Wang Yudong played five games for the team this season, including three in the Chinese Super League, one in the AFC Champions League and one in the FA Cup. Although he doesn't understand it, he also got an assist, which is very remarkable. This actually proves Wang Yudong's talent. Of course, we expect Wang Yudong to play more games in the future and even become an overseas player one day.
