In a fierce match, Efirdin was the ice-breaker on the pitch, not only helping his team to break the parity, but also scoring consecutive goals to widen the gap between the scores. He led the team to a 5-0 victory with his outstanding performance and was the absolute hero of the match. Back in the first match against Myanmar, Efirdin scored a penalty kick in stoppage time to open the scoring for his team.
Contributing 3 goals and 1 assist in two consecutive games, Efirdin's performance is remarkable as he made 4 goals individually. He is not only a key player in the offensive line of the U19 national football team, but also a hope for the future of the national football team, becoming a valuable asset of the Evergrande Football School, as well as a new image spokesman. If Evergrande Soccer School has Zhang Linyan in women's soccer, then the men's soccer will have Efirdin.
A player at the Evergrande Football Academy, Efirdin spent last season on loan at Gusu Dongwu in the Central League, where he picked up two goals and seven assists. This season, he returned to the Guangzhou team and became one of the brightest stars in the all-Chinese squad. So far, he has made 9 appearances, contributing 1 assist while collecting 4 yellow cards and 2 red cards.
Although Efirdin's tactical position is not crucial in the club, his position in the U19 national team is indispensable. He is the centerpiece of the team's offensive line, and without his presence, the firepower on the offensive end would drop by a direct level. So far, he has produced four goals in two games, which is his best reward for the coach's trust.
In the upcoming final round of matches, China will face the challenge of Saudi Arabia, which is a life and death battle for the right to get out of the group. Whether it's a win or just a goal, Efirdin is expected to lead the team to the goal with his goals, so let's look forward to his performance together.
