Mutalifu, at the age of 15, set foot on the soil of Chengdu with three big dreams - to play for the Chengdu team, to represent the national team, and to play in Europe's top five leagues. Under the cultivation of the Chengdu Football Association and the Rongcheng Club, this young man who was far away from his homeland found a sense of belonging in an unfamiliar environment, and the power of his dream became a solid support for him to overcome the discomfort and the pain of homesickness.
As time goes by, Mutalifu, 18 years and 112 days old, scored his first ever Chinese Super League goal in his debut for Chengdu Rongcheng, helping the team to their first ever Chinese Super League victory. However, for the young player, this is only the first step towards success, and he has a long career ahead of him, vowing to enjoy every view along the way.
Talking about the team's performance in the first phase, Mutalifu said he summarized the game during the break and watched the game video, recognizing that as a young player, he still needs to continue to learn and accumulate experience. Talking about the team's mentality in their first Chinese Super League campaign, he said that the team is confident in facing the challenge, thanks to the full preparation at the beginning of the year.
It was a bad start with six consecutive draws, during which Mutalifu was unable to play due to injury. Talking about the psychological changes at this stage, he said that despite the poor start, the team never gave up and he himself was confident that he could have his first win. After returning from injury, he quickly made his debut and expressed his gratitude to the head coach for his trust.
Talking about the attitude and self-requirements of the new season in the Chinese Super League, Mutalifu said that the team will continue to maintain the spirit of never give up, do every step well and give more than others. For himself, he hopes to cherish every minute and every second, handle every ball well, show the vitality and tenacity of young players, and fight for every point and every victory for the team.
In the first phase of the game, Mutalifu gradually adapted to the rhythm of the Chinese Super League and scored goals in the game, and his self-confidence was boosted. Talking about the team's consecutive undefeated record, he said that it has met his expectations to achieve such a result after an unfavorable start, but he will not be complacent, but will set his goal higher and achieve it one step at a time.
Talking about his experience from the U17 ladder to the first team, Mutalifu said that it was a wonderful start and an important step in realizing his aspirations. Talking about his nervousness during his debut, he said that although he was a little nervous, he was more excited about realizing his dream.
In the opening stage of the league, foreign aid arrived late, the lineup is not complete, domestic players need to take more responsibility. Mutalifu said that the responsibility is not divided into foreign aid and domestic players, soccer is a team project, everyone has to share the responsibility.
Mutalifu said that his biggest gain is to be more confident, and although it will take some time to adapt to the rhythm of the Chinese Super League, he believes that he will be able to integrate into it soon. Talking about the origin of his three dreams, he said that the Chengdu team gave him a lot of help and care, and made him feel the inclusiveness of the city, so he chose to play for the Chengdu team.
