Yan Junling, 33 years old, Shanghai Harbour goalkeeper, earning 300,000 euros a year, is not young, but writing legends on the goal line. With his experience and stability, he is like a lynch pin, locking up the game for his team at critical moments many times. He is able to deal with overhead kicks, ground balls and penalty kicks with ease. What is even more rare is that he can always remain calm and confident under pressure, which is an indispensable quality for goalkeepers.
Fang Jingqi, 31 years old, the guardian of Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, earns 225,000 euros a year. A model of mid-generation goalkeeper, his steadiness and judgment have won everyone's trust. Whether it's a high ball or a low ball, he can save accurately and calmly face the opponent's wild attack, becoming the backbone of the team's defense.
The 23-year-old goalkeeper from Chengdu Rongcheng, also for 225,000 euros, demonstrates the rise of a new generation of goalkeepers. Physically impressive and responsive, he performs beyond his years, always playing consistently whether against tough opponents or on key penalties, leaving one to look forward to his future.
Huang Qiang talks crookedly about sports, saying that goalkeepers are the lifeblood of a team, and it's a matter of life and death. From Yan Junling to Fang Jingqi to the younger generation, goalkeepers in the Chinese Super League have grown up in competition, alternating between the old and the new, and pushing the level of the league upwards. We expect them to continue to shine in the future and bring more passion to the fans.
