Huo Yuexin's courage and skill could not have been achieved without Chen Wanting's dedicated coaching. Since stepping into the ranks of the Jiangsu Wuxi women's soccer team, Chen Wanting has placed high hopes on the young talent Huo Yuexin, transforming her from a striker to an attacking midfielder, giving her a wider battlefield than just box-to-box tussles.
The richness of her match experience has boosted her confidence. With only two minutes left on the clock and trailing in the scoreboard, she was able to launch an attack in a unique way, which is attributed to her tireless efforts and accumulated experience in the game. If not for that, that goal would have been difficult to produce. Therefore, we should not forget that Chan Yuen Ting's support for the "Little Elephant" was crucial.
Huo Yuexin's outstanding performance not only caught the attention of the national team, but also impressed the AFC.In 2023, she was successfully shortlisted as one of the final three candidates for the AFC's Best Young Female Athlete. Although she ultimately failed to win the award, it was a testament to her standing and strength among her peers. She had shone on the U23 stage and was selected for the national team but unfortunately fell short. Expect her to prove herself again on the Asian Cup stage and hopefully make it to the adult national team for a tougher challenge.
