In the 11th Women's Super League battle, Wuhan team with a score of 6-0 strong beat the main rival Jiangsu team, in which the young Zhang Linyan is a "hat trick" stunned the whole field. After the game, netizens hot topic: Zhang Linyan and our country

Perhaps due to the shortage of talent in China's men's soccer team, fans have seen Zhang Linyan's outstanding performance, as if "sister Lin" had fallen from the sky, and have marveled at her talent. However, in reality, although Wang Frost and Zhang Linyan are similar in some aspects, they each have unique advantages and characteristics. Whether in Wuhan

Or the national team, they will no longer be competitors, but partners in mutual fulfillment.
They are similar in that they are both flexible attacking players, not too tall and good at ball control and breakthrough. However, Wang Frost is more experienced and has a better view of the big picture, so she can better connect with her teammates and take care of the whole team's offense, while Zhang Linyan has a stronger ability to raid, and is more energetic with her flexibility to penetrate in the penalty area.

Wang Frost is 6 years older than Zhang Linyan, and at one time there was talk of the latter being the former's "successor". But in fact, 27-year-old Wang Frost is in the golden period of her sports career, and there is still room for improvement. Zhang Linyan is also having her own moment of glory. From the player's personal development, Wuhan

The tactical needs of the two are not simply a replacement relationship, but will coexist for a long time, becoming the team's "twin stars".
As for how to arrange the field position and task of the two, it needs Wuhan and China's head coach to think deeply. But I don't think it's a problem. We don't need to worry about crowding the squad with players like Wang Frost and Zhang Linyan, who have distinctive technical characteristics. On the contrary, such players are not enough. From the fans' point of view, we might as well learn from Barcelona's tactical thinking in the past, and think of Zhang Linyan as the "female Eto'o". Imagine the two of them flexibly penetrating inside and outside of the opponent's penalty area, passing and shooting silently, and the picture will be breathtaking!
The presence of Wang Frost and Zhang Linyan even had a negative impact on our

The talent development and tactical design of the ball has important insights. Over the years, we have favored tall players too much, and our tactical thinking is also based on force. However, in today's soccer world, high pressing and flexible penetration have become the mainstream playing style of strong teams. This has led to an increasing emphasis on players with good footwork, flexibility and speed. China
