It's not even halfway through the season, but Chinese soccer is enthusiastic about the 19-year-old talent.

Chinese national team striker Wang Yu-dong (19), who is active in Zhejiang, tied for first in scoring in the Super League. Wang Yu-dong scored multiple goals against Shandong Taishan, led by head coach Choi Kang-hee, on the 11th and was responsible for the team's score. In the match, Zhejiang lost to Shandong 2-4, but Wang Yudong tied for the league's leading scorer with eight goals this season, along with Fabio Abreu (Beijing Guoan) and Alberto Kiles (Tianjin Jinmenhu). Currently, there is only one Chinese player in the top 10 in the Super League scoring rankings.

The Chinese soccer community is excited. On major portal sports pages such as Tencent, Sohu, and SinaCom, news of Wang Yudong's multi-goal was the main topic. Sun Wishan, a local commentator, shared the top spot in scoring for the 'Wangwi' through SNS. It's something no one thought about until a few months ago. 'Super League is too small to capture the throne. If he makes it to the second division of Europe, he will certainly succeed.'"




Wang Yu-dong signed a professional contract with Zhejiang in July 2023 when he was 17 years old and played in the Chinese Super League a month later, setting a record for the youngest debut in the club's history. In September of that year, he skipped two steps and was included in the training list for the Olympic soccer team. In February, he stood out by scoring one goal in four games at the U-20 Asian Cup, and in March, he was surprisingly recruited to the senior national team led by head coach Branko Ivankovic, drawing attention. He made his A-match debut in the third Asian qualifying match for the 2026 North-China World Cup against Australia and played 25 minutes in the second half to create a scoring chance. In China, as Wang Yuan Dong's activities continued, he added various modifiers such as '2nd Wu Lei' and '2nd Lamin Yamal' to hide his expectations.
