In the early morning of Nov. 5, Xie Weijun, the brave striker of the Jinmen Tigers, a warrior who had suffered a crushed nasal bone fracture, embarked on a journey home. He chose to return to Tianjin, holding off on the reset surgery that could have recast his face.
In his microblog, reporter Gu Ying revealed that Xie Weijun arrived in Tianjin and immediately rushed to the hospital to undergo a detailed examination. With the Chinese men's soccer team scheduled to gather in Shenzhen on Nov. 9 to warm up for two key group matches in the upcoming Asian qualifying tournament and travel to Thailand on Nov. 14, the national team's roster is about to be revealed. The Jinmen Tigers club, as well as Xie Weijun himself, have had in-depth communication with the national soccer team about the injury situation.
Gu Ying further added that ultimately Xie Weijun chose to suspend the surgery in order to be ready for a possible call-up to serve his country. In the late afternoon today, he also completed the 3D modeling of his protective mask. Once his name appears on the national team roster again, the "Masked Brother" will surely show great strength in the team.
This season, Xie Weijun appeared in 29 games for the Jinmen Tigers, making 10 starts and contributing seven goals and one assist, making him an indispensable scorer for the team.
