Introduction to Le Jiankun, Coach of Yunnan Blind Football Team

A sound system is installed inside the game ball of blind soccer

Six small iron boxes in the ball collide with several steel balls

Will make a tinkling sound

There is a fence about one meter high at the boundary of the court

The "hello" shouted by the team members is actually "Voy"

Spanish word meaning "I will"

The blind players are fighting on the court

Use this slogan to remind teammates and inform opponents

Avoid dangerous collision

Now I can help the women's team with my own experience

A fall, fence, sweat

Are turned into nutrients for the brave

It provides her with inexhaustible power to move forward

Have the opportunity to enter the national team

Can also put on the war robe and go to war for the country

Zhu Dongqiong likes the feeling of running with the ball in the wind

In a dark field

She can clearly feel the feeling of wind blowing through her body

Feel the pressure close to the fence

Smell the smell of obstacles

"When running

Time seems to slow down

Like the slow motion scenes in the movie

Draw my outline frame by frame

Fluffy hair

Self struggling forward

I feel very handsome "
