October 6, China's soccer world, Beijing Youth Daily disclosed heavy news: national goalkeeper Liu Dengzuo due to injury to bid farewell to the national team this training, emergency replacement is the Shanghai Shenhua goalkeeper Ma Zhen. This change has quickly become the focus of fan discussion.
Preparing for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers, the national team is scheduled to play two friendly matches in Dalian, Vietnam and Uzbekistan. Following a poor performance in the warm-up matches in September, Jankovic has made drastic changes to the squad, with new stars of the Asian Games such as Wu Shaocong, Dai Weijun and Fang Hao expected to be included in the squad. However, Yankovic has not made any adjustments to the much-criticized goalkeeper position, and the situation seems to require him to make a decision.
Beijing Youth Daily further revealed that Wuhan Sanzhen goalkeeper Liu Dianzheng was unable to participate in the current training session due to injury, and the coaching staff quickly recruited Ma Zhen, who was selected for the national team for the first time. The media noted that Ma Zhen was given this opportunity due to his outstanding performance at Shenhua, despite having been rejected by the national team due to a red card suspension.
Yankovic's adjustment undoubtedly brought surprises to Liu Dianzheng and Wang Dalei, and made Shanghai Shenhua the biggest winner. Fans have different opinions.
A fan teased: "Ma Zhen this time to go to the national team, you have to bring the autumn clothes and pants, after all, Dalian's temperature is not high, Wang Dalei's bench can be sat firmly." There are also fans analyzing: "Ma Zhen in Shenhua is a substitute, before the suspension of the performance is good, but after the release of the performance of the general. The performance of the national team, let's wait and see."
More fans are full of expectations: "Once selected, Ma Zhen will have to go all out! Even if you can't play, you can still exchange ideas with Wang Dalei and cheer for the national team from the bench. The future of the national team may rest on Shenhua, Zhu Chenjie is expected to become the core of the defense, Dai Weijun may be the soul of the midfield, if Ma Zhen can become a top goalkeeper, Hong Kong will face a huge challenge!"
