In the green field, 97-year-old Lin Liangming is like an ageless legend, his remarkable performance is breathtaking. Not only did he lead the way in the Chinese Super League, but he was also among the top three in goals scored in the 2022 season. This season, he has already hit three solo goals to help his team. In the 20th round match against Shanghai Shenhua, Lin Liangming broke the goal again and helped Dalian people win 2-1.
Shanghai Shenhua and Dalian Ren showed remarkable tactical skills in their matchup in the 20th round. In the 23rd minute, Shenhua attacked like a tidal wave but came close to a header by Zhang Wei, but the referee's decision made the goal a fizzle.
Just two minutes later, Dalian launched a counterattack. 1985-born veteran Zhu Ting made a clever pass to Manzocchi, who hit a precise shot to make it 1-0, and Dalian took the lead. In the 31st minute, Manzocchi passed the ball to Lin Liangming, who scored easily to make the score 2-0.
In the 63rd minute of the second half, Shenhua's young player Dai Weijun utilized a corner kick to assist Jin Yangyang's header, but in the end Shanghai Shenhua lost 1-2. It is worth mentioning that in this game, two 97-year-old players Lin Liangming and Dai Weijun scored and assisted respectively, and the performance of local players was wonderful.
Dalianjin's Wang Xianjun, known for his high passing success rate and high number of passes, is also a much-needed defender for the national team as a great defensive player. 26-year-old Wu Wei also performed well, and young talents such as Huang Jiahui and Wang Yu also contributed.
Jin Yangyang, born in 1993, scored a key goal in the game, and his 1.89 meter height is crucial for the backline of the national football team. Young players such as Cui Lin and Xu Hao Yang also showed excellent strength, and Xu Hao Yang has already made a mark in the Chinese Super League this season.
The Chinese men's soccer team is in a critical period of lineup adjustment, with the dual pressure of the preliminaries and the Asian Cup coming one after the other. Obviously, more rising stars who have made their mark in the league, such as Wang Xianjun and Lin Liangming, are expected to be selected for the national team. The national soccer team's Asian Games squad also welcomes the addition of three overage players to energize the young lineup. We look forward to the Chinese Super League continuing to nurture more young talent to drive the continued development of Chinese soccer.
