On June 8, Beijing time, U21 League Weifang unveiled a fierce competitive chapter. With the suspension of the Chinese Super League Reserve Team League, the U21 League has quickly become a golden stage for cultivating young players. Among them, He Xiaoke of Luneng Youth Training was selected by the U18 national team to join the U21 League by virtue of his outstanding strength in the same age group, but he unexpectedly became a rival with his teammates on the field.
In He Xiaoke's first match against Shenzhen, he broke the deadlock with a powerful shot in the 25th minute, helping the U18s to a 2-0 win over Shenzhen. In his first game in the U21 league, He Xiaoke gave back to the fans who supported him with an outstanding performance, which was also featured on the official report of his alma mater Luneng Youth Training.
As the future successor to Luneng's first-team No. 10, He Xiaoke's aura and character are quite similar to that of current Luneng first-teamer Wang Dalei. He is a superb player, and his on-field cooperation with his teammates has quickly made him a leading figure in Luneng's youth training program. As for the curse of Luneng's No. 10 jersey, since Cebu Maozhen and Zheng Zhi, there are very few local players who can master this jersey. He Xiao Ke is expected to break this curse in the future and become the most outstanding local player in Luneng's history after wearing the No. 10 jersey.
