On July 22, Beijing time, the first round of the Women’s World Cup group stage saw China’s women’s national football team face off against Denmark.
Early in the match, Zhang Linyan demonstrated the confidence and ability she has gained from her overseas experience. The Swiss Super League MVP found herself surrounded by six opponents but still managed to take a high-quality long-range shot, which was the only on-target attempt by either team in the first half.
This scene also brought to mind the “masterpiece” left by Andrés Iniesta.
