The number of domestic players studying abroad has exploded this year. Although the league levels of studying abroad are uneven, it is still necessary to study abroad compared to participating in unstable leagues in China. Especially the women's football players who have studied abroad have developed more and more, bringing new hope to the women's football national team . When the 2023 women's football World Cup arrives, our overseas players who have been studying abroad return to the national team to participate in the competition, and what may be shown in front of us is a comprehensively improved women's football team. Of course, the road to studying abroad that the men's football team has to take is more difficult.
Zhang Linyan , Shen Menglu , Shen Mengyu and other young women's football players will support the development of the women's football team in the next ten years. Their current overseas career is very smooth, and they have already occupied a place in Swiss and Scottish Women's Football League. In the future, they are very optimistic that they can develop on a larger stage. In this round of the Women's Football League, Shen Menglu and Zhang Linyan performed well. Shen Menglu made two assists, and Zhang Linyan scored and created points while appearing on the bench.
In the Swiss Cup 1/16 final, the Grasshopper Women's Football Team, played for by Zhang Linyan, beat Lucerne 5-0 away and successfully advanced to the top 16. Since it was a cup match, Grasshopper Women's Football Team rotated the main lineup, and Zhang Linyan sat on the bench until the 73rd minute before she came on the bench. Just 3 minutes after her appearance, her teammates sent a straight pass for Zhang Linyan. After she successfully counterattacked, she formed a one-on-one striker. Facing the opponent's goalkeeper who was attacking, the 21-year-old Chinese forward calmly passed the goalkeeper and scored in an empty goal, helping the team expand the score to 3-0.
In the 84th minute, Zhang Linyan once again showed her agility and outstanding characteristics. After going down the bottom, she broke through along the bottom line and entered the hinterland of the penalty area. The opponent saw that the situation was not good and wanted to intercept and destroy it, but the foul brought her down. Zhang Linyan broke through and created a point, and her teammates took the penalty and hit it. Originally, the team only led by 2 goals in the 70th minute, but after Zhang Linyan came on the court, the team's offense rose directly to a higher level and won 5-0 in the end. We can be very proud to say that Zhang Linyan’s study abroad is entirely a technical poverty alleviation. Zhang Linyan has made 6 appearances this season and has contributed 4 goals and 6 assists. This is not considered a penalty kick, but a thigh-level performance.
Zhang Linyan's performance on Asian Cup was already amazing. At the age of 21, she has become a surprise on the women's football forward. She played 4 times in the Asian Cup. In the final, she scored an equalizer for the women's football team and became a hero for the women's football team to win the championship. At this point, she has become the focus of training for women's football team, and her outstanding personal abilities are also regarded by the outside world as Wang Shuang's successor. No matter which team it is, no matter how strong the overall strength is, it requires stars with strong personal abilities. Moreover, such stars will only be less than many. Fortunately, the use of stars by Shui Qingxia is quite reasonable now.
