Ru Zinan: The world wave relies on years of training, looking forward to its own 100 games in the Super League

Reporter Wang Wei reports May 12 is the 27th birthday of Ru Zinan, the No. 29 player of the Meizhou Hakka team, and this year is his fourth year with the Meizhou Hakka team from Hong Kong, China. So far in Meizhou Hakka, he has scored 6 goals and contributed 4 assists. This season, Ru Zinan is expected to complete the milestone of 100 games in the Chinese Super League in Meizhou Hakka, and he hopes that he can grow with the team.

In the second transfer stage of the 2022 season, Ru Zinan, who debuted at the Hong Kong Oriental Sports Association, joined the Chinese Super League newcomer Meizhou Hakka, who had just turned 24 at the time, hoping to gain a firm foothold in the Chinese Super League and play well.

At the time, he probably didn't expect to score six goals and provide many assists. In the 3rd round of the 2025 Chinese Super League, Ru Zinan's long-range shot in the 2nd minute of the opening game broke through the goal of the Shandong Taishan team. In the 11th round of the league, he scored a long-range goal against Shanghai Shenhua.

Regarding his world-wave goals, Ru Zinan admitted that he had not scored so many long-range shots when he played in the Hong Kong League before. "I started practicing long-range shooting when I was eighteen or nineteen, and every day after training, I would add another 10 to 20 long-range shots, and I have been training until now." "I think it's the result of hard work, training and then trying in the game. In fact, there were many times in the game when I was just a little bit close to the goal, but I still dared to try again. ”

It's only a three- or four-hour drive from Hong Kong to Meizhou, so Meizhou made Ru Zinan very kind: "My teammates and I can communicate in Cantonese, so we got to know each other very quickly." Liao Junjian, Shi Liang and other teammates took good care of me, and it only took me a month or two to adapt to the team, and I was able to better adapt to the rhythm of the Chinese Super League. ”

In Ru Zinan's eyes, the pace of the Chinese Super League is much faster than that of the Hong Kong Super League. "When I first arrived in Meizhou, the manager Milan gave me a lot of opportunities to play and I learned a lot in the game." Ru Zinan told reporters, "Generally, our fullbacks will face the opponent's foreign aid, and every game is an accumulation of experience. I will think and summarize my performance when I am one-on-one with foreign players after the game, and I will continue to improve myself. ”

In addition to Ru Zinan, there are also Liang Nuoheng who plays in the Zhejiang team, Chen Jinyi of Shanghai Shenhua, An Yongjia of Shenzhen Xinpeng City, Zhou Yuande of Henan team, Sun Mingqian of Tianjin Jinmen Tiger and Wu Yuxi of Chongqing Tonglianglong.

Ru Zinan is very familiar with the Hong Kong, China players in the Chinese Super League, "There are many Hong Kong players in the Chinese Super League now, I am very familiar with Sun Mingqian of Tianjin Jinmen Tigers and Chen Jinyi of Shanghai Shenhua, and we usually have a phone call to chat." Chen Jinyi played very well and performed very well in the AFC Champions League Elite League. ”

Ru Zinan believes that Hong Kong, China players playing in the mainland professional league will be of great help to Hong Kong football, "The strength of the Chinese Super League and the Chinese League A team is definitely a little stronger than the Hong Kong Super League team." We have learned a lot in the Super League and have made a lot of progress. He said.

This year's 15th National Games will be held in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macau, and Ru Zinan is very concerned about this event. He said: "When the time comes, I will pay attention to the National Games. For example, Guo Jianuo, who is currently the head coach of the Macau team and the Macau U23 team, is from Hong Kong, and he has taken me in Hong Kong before. ”

May 12 is Ru Zinan's birthday, Ru Zinan made a 27th birthday wish to himself, "I hope Meizhou Hakka gets good results, and the team's goal this year is to stay in the Chinese Super League." ”

In the process of Meizhou Hakka relegation last year, Ru Zinan fought with the team, and he once cried because of the loss in the key relegation battle. Therefore, in the eyes of Hakka fans, Ru Zinan has always been a very responsible player.

Ru Zinan said that he has a great sense of belonging to Meizhou Hakka, and he already has a deep relationship with the team. "I have now played 84 games of the Chinese Super League in Meizhou Hakka, and I am looking forward to my 100 games in the Chinese Super League in Meizhou Hakka." Ru Zinan said.
