Late afternoon, March 7th.
International player Shan Huanhuan, accompanied by team doctors, arrived at a medical institution in Haikou for a physical assessment, which showed that he suffered a serious strain on his right thigh muscle. This result indicates that the young center forward may miss the next training and the upcoming "Dubai Cup" invitational tournament. Faced with this unexpected situation, the team quickly activated emergency measures. Zhang Jiansheng, another attacker from Dalian People's Club, was drafted into the team as a matter of urgency.
Recalling the morning of March 5th.
When the national football team was conducting regular confrontation training, Shan Huanhuan, who is 1 meter 86 tall, suddenly lost his balance and collapsed on the field. Soon, the news of the recurrence of his old right thigh muscle injury spread throughout the training ground. The team then arranged for him to go to an orthopedic hospital in Haikou for a detailed examination on the afternoon of the 7th.
Currently, Shan Huanhuan's injury is a cause for concern. Although he still insists on staying with the team, the coaching team has decided to activate a contingency plan in view of the upcoming preparation tasks and the team's upcoming trip to the United Arab Emirates to participate in the "Dubai Cup". This means that attacker Zhang Jiansheng, who plays for Dalian People Club, will join the team.
It has been reported that Zhang Jiansheng has joined the 7th
The National Football League's preparation ranks. Compared to Shan Huanhuan, who is 1 meter 86, Zhang Jiansheng is 1 meter 75 and is known as a flexible striker with his technical and speed advantages. The coaching team's call-up was also out of necessity, as the available center forward players are relatively limited at the moment.
It is well known that as
Guo Tianyu, the ideal center forward candidate for the national football team, is recently busy with his stay in Portugal. While another player in the
China Super League (soccer league)
Striker Zhou Junchen, who has emerged as a star in the league, was unfortunately injured in the last training session. Therefore, the coaching team decided not to call up Zhou Junchen and asked him to focus on his recovery. As for Tao Qianglong and Liu Zhurun, although they have already made their mark in the professional league, the team's reserves in the forward line are particularly important considering the three high-intensity matches in the Dubai Cup.
Born at the end of 1999, Zhang Jiansheng has had a rich playing career despite not being as famous as players such as Guo Tianyu and Tao Qianglong. For example, he was selected for the then U20 National Youth Team in 2018. He had also assisted teammate Missy Xuchen in scoring a goal at the 2019 International Invitation Tournament in Hefei. In recent years, Zhang Jiansheng has played for clubs such as Meizhou Hakka, Dalian Ren, and Beitian University, earning a number of appearances.
If Shan Huanhuan is unable to participate in the Dubai Cup due to injury, Zhang Jiansheng is expected to replace him as a member of the team's squad for the western tournament.
