Bayer Leverkusen coach praises U17 national team star: Playful flair and all-round skills! Competitive even in Europe

On August 7, Beijing time, Kevin Brock, head coach of Bayer Leverkusen's U17 team, highly praised Zhao Songyuan, the star of China's U17 national team, during an interview, stating that he would still be very competitive if he played in Europe.

Kevin Brock said, "I don't know his name, but the No. 4 player of the Chinese team left a deep impression on me. He has outstanding awareness, comprehensive skills, and plays with great flair. In my opinion, young players like him can also be quite competitive if they develop in Europe."

The No. 4 player mentioned by the Leverkusen coach is Zhao Songyuan, the tall striker of China's U17 national team.

In the final round of the group stage of the "Rising Star" Champions Cup, which ended last night, it was Zhao Songyuan, who came off the bench and contributed a goal and an assist within just one minute, helping China's U17 team stage a 2-1 comeback victory over Bayer Leverkusen's U17 team and finish top of Group A with a perfect 3-0 record. Particularly impressive was the world-class goal he scored after cutting inside and unleashing a powerful shot.

In the first match against Arsenal's U17 team, Zhao Songyuan scored a solo goal after taking on four defenders and also created an own goal, helping China's U17 team win 3-2 against Arsenal's U17 team. He has become one of the standout performers of the tournament.

According to the schedule, China's U17 team will face River Plate's U17 team in the semifinal at 19:35 tonight. It will be worth watching whether Zhao Songyuan can continue his outstanding performance.
