My Take

Zhang Yuning is one of the more interesting figures in modern Chinese football. A 183cm forward born in 1997, he's grown into the captain of the China national team and a Beijing Guoan mainstay, which says a lot about his durability and leadership. I remember the buzz when he moved to Europe young; that ambition to test himself abroad set him apart from many domestic players. Wearing the captain's armband for the national side at his age carries real weight given the pressure on Chinese football. To me he represents the hopes a whole footballing nation pins on its homegrown talent.
