In the 28th round of the Chinese Super League, Henan Division faced Cangzhou Lions at their own doorstep. Although the two sides were equal on paper, many fans predicted that it would be an uneventful match. However, the twist in the plot was jaw-dropping, as Henan turned the game into a goal feast.
After more than 90 minutes of intense fighting, Henan showed strong offensive firepower, scoring three goals each in the first and second halves, and eventually swept the Cangzhou Lions by a huge margin of 6-0, reaping a rare victory in the team's history.
In this victory, Henan's local players Zhong Yihao and Huang Zichang performed particularly well. Zhong Yihao started the whole game and not only scored two goals himself, but also sent an assist to help his teammate Kovic score, making three goals alone, showing the style of the former star of Evergrande. The high rating of 10 points after the match is proof of his high status in the hearts of the fans.
Although Huang Zichang did not score, his two precise assists were equally indispensable. In the 14th minute, he sent a precise pass to help Zhong Yihao break the deadlock, and before the end of the first half, he made another clever assist for Dilimurati to complete a wonderful breakthrough. Huang Zichang's assists were on a par with Zhong Yihao's.
The outbursts of Zhong Yihao and Huang Zichang undoubtedly delighted the Spanish-born coach of Henan, Sarko, but the greater joy belongs to the current coach of the Chinese men's soccer team, Yang Kovic. If Yankovic had been present at the game, he would have been impressed by the two local mid-generation strikers.
As we all know, although the national football team has a lot of international players, Ickerson is getting older and his form is declining; Wu Lei is still the top striker in China, but his play is unstable; in addition, Tan Long and Fang Hao's performance is hardly satisfactory. Therefore, Jankovic is in dire need of fresh blood for the national soccer team. The outstanding performances of Zhong Yihao and Huang Zichang undoubtedly brought two new choices to Jankovic.
The world qualifiers will kick off in the middle of next month. In order to enhance the combat power of the national football front line, Jankovic is bound to recruit again. With the excellent play in this game, Zhong Yi Hao and Huang Zichang are expected to be favored by Jankovic, and it is not impossible that they will even be selected for the national team at the same time. If this is the case, the national soccer team will welcome two super strikers to join.
