Last season, he had already become a regular starter for Manchester City.
Now he is also the national team's main full-back, depending entirely on the opponent where he plays.
One is the goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei who played for Bayern Munich. When he first started, he was considered the next Wang Dalei. When he was in good form, he was invincible in front of the goal, but when he was off, he often made low-level mistakes. However, later he was called the "new gatekeeper" and became Neuer's successor.
This season, he was loaned to Tottenham, where he gained many opportunities to perform. He is now the main goalkeeper of the national team, and during his time at Tottenham, his long pass has proven to be surprisingly effective when the team launches swift counterattacks.
