Yesterday evening, in the 5th round of the third stage of the Asian World Cup qualifiers Group C, China defeated Bahrain 1-0.
After the match, Mao Jianqing posted a video highly praising Zhang Yuning, stating: “Now the pivot relies on Yuning. Apart from his slightly inferior breakthrough ability, his ball distribution, back-to-goal play, teamwork, and goal-scoring skills are quite professional.”
In addition, Mao Jianqing added: “He is slow only because his breakthrough ability is poor. He is not that type of player; he is a small tank, and this is the Chinese team we want to see.”
