Wang Shanshan (Chinese: 王珊珊; pinyin: Wáng Shānshān; born 27 January 1990) is a Chinese association football player who plays for Chinese Women's Super League club Tianjin Shengde.
International career
[edit]Wang played at the 2011 Summer Universiade.[2] She made her debut for the senior team in March 2012 against Germany.[3] In April 2015, she scored in China's 2–1 friendly defeat to England.[4]
At the 2018 Asian Games in Indonesia, she scored 9 goals against Tajikistan after coming off the bench in the 56th minute.[5]
Style of play
[edit]Wang is adept at both defence and attack, thus becoming a prime example of a utility player in football. Chinese press likens her to legendary Dutchman Ruud Gullit.
Her all-roundedness is most prominently demonstrated on international duty ever since the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.[6]
