When it comes to Ji Xiang, he was known as the bright star of the Chinese national team for his outstanding soccer talent during his youth, and was favored by two heavyweight managers, one of them was foreign coach Pelan, and the other one was the domestic football celebrity Gao Hongbo. Under their command, Ji Xiang became an indispensable member of the team. Especially in the eyes of Pelan, Ji Xiang almost became his "beloved disciple", fans also jokingly called him "Pelan's favorite student". Gao Hongbo not only used Ji Xiang in his Jiangsu Sun Tian Football Club, but also recruited him many times in the national team.
As the years go by, Ji Xiang has entered the senior age of 34, however, his competitive status is still solid and has not seen any obvious decline. It would be a pity if he was unexpectedly dropped under the guidance of Choi Kang-hee. However, the journey of the new season has just begun, we have reason to believe that, with the intensification of the league competition and the challenges of the multi-line war increased, Cui Kangxi coach will give Ji Xiang more opportunities to show, so that the veteran once again bloomed.
