As the first half of extra time drew to a close, the center of the stage inevitably shifted to Liu Zhurun, the "little Wu Lei". The UAE goalkeeper's impulsive, off-balance dash out of the goal area provided Liu Zhurun with a dream opportunity, and he lived up to his name by scoring the second goal for the national Olympic team in the game. Liu Zhurun's goal, as in the middle of the shuttle, easy to cross the opponent's defense, and then calmly shot, can not help but remind people of Wu Lei's style, and it is true to its name.
On the sidelines of the match, perhaps the most relieved person is not the head coach of the National Olympic Team, Cheng Yaodong, but the new national team head coach, Ivankovic, who is closely observing the players of the national team. Xie Wenneng and Liu Zhurun, the two new stars of the front line, have undoubtedly made him happy with their dazzling performance in the game.
As we all know, the Chinese national team is currently strong in the forwards, but the overall squad is slightly aging and in dire need of fresh blood to optimize the age structure. Ivankovic knows this all too well, and he will pay close attention to the national Olympic team's performance in every game of the U23 Asian Cup. At the moment, he is naturally ecstatic to see the synchronized rise of Xie Wenneng and Liu Zhurun in the forward position. With the Thai men's soccer team joining the fray in June's World Qualifier, the two national Olympic rookies are expected to receive strong support from Ivankovic. Although they are still inexperienced and not yet senior, it is difficult for them to become the starting team, but in critical moments, they will be able to become a miracle weapon and play a key role. Let's wait and see, looking forward to their good news.
