In the late afternoon of March 7, U23 national football star Shan Huanhuan, accompanied by the team doctor, arrived at a well-known hospital in Haikou for a thorough physical examination. Regrettably, the results showed that Shan Huanhuan's right thigh muscle injury was much more serious than expected, which means he may not be able to participate in the next training and the upcoming "Dubai Cup" invitational tournament. Faced with this unexpected situation, the team quickly activated the contingency plan, and urgently recruited Zhang Jiansheng, another attacker of Dalian People Club, to join the team.
Recall that in the early morning of March 5, Shan Huanhuan accidentally fell to the ground during the regular confrontation training of the U23 national football team, and the recurrence of the old injury of his right thigh muscle was confirmed. The team then arranged for him to go to an orthopedic hospital in Haikou the next day for an in-depth examination. At present, Shan Huanhuan's injury has aroused widespread concern, although he is still with the team, but in view of the upcoming preparations for the task and the urgency of the "Dubai Cup", the coaching team decisively activated the contingency measures, Zhang Jiansheng additional call-up into the team. It is reported that Zhang Jiansheng has joined the ranks of the U23 national football team's preparation on the 7th. The 1 meter 75 tall Zhang Jiansheng, known for his technical and speed advantage, as a flexible striker, his addition to the team is a timely addition. The coaching team chose Zhang Jiansheng out of necessity, as there are not many center-forward candidates to choose from at the moment. Guo Tianyu, who is known to be the ideal center forward candidate for the U23 national football team, is busy with his stay in Portugal. Another striker, Zhou Junchen, who has been performing well in the Chinese Super League, was unfortunately injured in the last training session, and the coaching team decided not to draft him for the time being and instructed him to focus on his treatment. Although Tao Qianglong and Liu Zhurun have had outstanding performances in the professional league, the team's reserves in the forward line are especially important considering the three high-intensity matches in the Dubai Cup. Zhang Jiansheng, born at the end of 1999, is not as famous as Guo Tianyu and Tao Qianglong, but his rich experience as a player should not be underestimated. For example, he was selected for the U20 National Youth Team in 2018 and assisted his teammates in the 2019 International Invitation Tournament in Hefei. Zhang Jiansheng has played for clubs such as Meizhou Hakka, Dalian Ren, and North Sport University, accumulating a wealth of playing experience. If Shan Huanhuan is unable to participate in the Dubai Cup due to injury, Zhang Jiansheng is expected to fill the vacancy and join the team's westward journey.
