On May 23rd, in the ninth round of the Chinese Super League, Wuhan Sanzhen challenged Nantong Zhiyun on the road. 21-year-old Tao Qianglong had a great performance with a hat-trick, assisted by "the strongest 00-year-old in Chinese soccer", the future star of hope of China's men's soccer, ushering in a crazy outbreak!

Eight hours before the game, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) "airborne" heavy punishment, Wuhan Sanzhen striker Aziz suspended for four matches, a fine of 40,000 yuan, triggering a storm of public opinion. In this game, Wuhan Sanzhen Edmilson and Davidson did not enter the list, Wei Shihao, Xie Pengfei, Tao Qianglong leading the offensive line.

Wuhan Sanzhen lacked a pivotal center forward and could only rely on the speed of Xie Pengfei and Wei Shihao to make raids, making it difficult to create threats in positional battles. Nantong Zhiyun tested Wuhan Sanzhen's defense with Romario's dribbling and breakthrough. In the 30th minute, Deng Hanwen carried Romario to the bottom line and performed a wonderful defense.

In the 37th minute, Wuhan Sanzhen attacked, Tao Qianglong played the ball, Xie Pengfei left footed low shot from the penalty area line, the ball into the dead corner, Wuhan Sanzhen 1-0 lead!

After the goal, Xie Pengfei didn't celebrate too excitedly. As a former Jiangsu Suning player, Xie Pengfei once again came to Jiangsu to thank the fans. This is Xie Pengfei's second goal in the Chinese Super League this season.

One minute into the extra half time, Stancho sent in a brilliant cross. Inside the box, Tao Qianglong stopped the ball on his chest, half-turned with his right foot and drew a 2-0! 21-year-old Tao Qianglong scored his first goal in the Chinese Super League for Wuhan Sanzhen.

Wuhan Sanzhen scored again at the start of the second half! After Xie Pengfei's pass in the box, Tao Qianglong stopped the ball with his left foot and fired a low right-footed shot to make it 3-0!

Tao Qianglong has seen very limited playing time in this season's Chinese Super League. Prior to this game, Tao had only 10 minutes of experience as a substitute (Sanzhen 3-0 Qingdao Sea Cowboys). If Aziz had not been suddenly suspended and Edmilson and Davidson had been absent due to injury, Tao Qianglong would not have been able to make his debut.Tao, 21, earned a breath of fresh air for Wuhan Sanzhen!

In the 60th minute, Wuhan Sanzhen scored again: Wei Shihao passed the ball, Tao Qianglong stopped the ball with his right foot and played a wonderful world wave, 5-0! After the hat, Wuhan Sanzhen replaced Tao Qianglong, sofa soccer gave Tao Qianglong 9.7 points, the highest in the game!

Seeing Tao Qianglong's wonderful performance, the fans will sigh with admiration. At one time, Tao Qianglong was known as "the strongest 00 years of Chinese soccer", 14 years old selected U17 national youth, 16 years old selected U19 national youth, in 2018 selected as the annual world soccer 60 rising stars, in 2019 selected for the national soccer training list. However, Tao Qianglong's growth has not been satisfactory in recent years. I hope this game can make Tao Qianglong take off again.
