When they come prepared, opportunities will always come their way. Xie Wenneng is one of the best practitioners of this motto. Ever since his debut in the Chinese Super League, Xie has won the favor of Choi Kang-hee with his unique style, and has become his right-hand man. As his skills matured at Taishan, the team extended his contract for another five years. Meanwhile, Xie Wenneng's name has been mentioned frequently, and he is expected to become the new generation of Luneng's captain.
With veterans such as Zheng Zheng and Zhang Qi gradually fading out of the first lineup, Xie Wenneng seems to be on the shortlist of favorites for the Taishan captaincy. With the dust settling on his new contract, his heart is burning with a higher goal - to secure a place on the national soccer stage. If all goes well, Xie Wenneng's name will surely be on the list when Ivankovic finalizes his first training squad for the national team. By that time, Xie Wenneng is expected to seize the opportunity and become a mainstay of the team soon.
