Being prepared is a good thing for Xie Wenneng. Ever since Xie Wenneng started playing for Taishan in the Chinese Super League, he has earned the trust of Choi Kang-hee and has become one of the core players in the team. As time went by, Xie Wenneng's play in the Taishan team became more mature, and the team did not hesitate to extend a five-year heavy contract with him. At the same time, he is also seen as a strong contender for the new Luneng captaincy.
With veterans such as Zheng Zheng and Zhang Qi fading out of the Luneng first team squad, Xie Wenneng is expected to take over as captain of Taishan. After he completes his contract extension with Taishan, his next goal is to secure his place in the national team. Unsurprisingly, Xie Wenneng's name is likely to be included when Ivan Ivanovic finalizes his first training squad for the national team. At that time, we expect Xie Wenneng to seize the opportunity and take on heavier responsibilities soon.
