on september 18, beijing time, in the first round of the afc champions league, shanghai port drew 2-2 with johor bahru at home. the shanghai port team also became the only one of the three chinese super league teams that made their debut without winning.

as there is no restriction on foreign players in the afc champions league this season, johor sent 10 foreign players to start the game, and only one malaysian player appeared in the starting 11. however, it was this malaysian international arif aiman ​​who scored 2 goals for the team. he was also officially selected as the most valuable player of the game by the afc. it is worth mentioning that the 22-year-old player is also a fan of wu lei. after the game, he came to the door of the locker room of the harbour club and asked for the no. 7 jersey that wu lei wore in the game.

in an interview, aiman ​​believed that "today's game was difficult and we were prepared in advance. for me, we played very well today, not only me, but also my teammates were 100%. we got 1 point, after all, this is our away game."

although only 22 years old, aiman ​​has played 19 games in the asian champions league, scoring 5 goals and 3 assists. in the malaysian national team, he is also an absolute main force. at the age of 22, he has played 28 games for the national team, with 7 goals and 9 assists. at the beginning of the asian cup, malaysia tied with south korea 3-3, and aiman ​​scored a goal in this game.

in addition, aiman ​​was selected as the malaysian footballer of the year for two consecutive seasons in 2021-2022, setting the youngest record in the history of the award.

the two goals he scored in this game were both excellent. the first goal was a high-speed diagonal run from the left side guarded by haigang team's li shuai to the front of the penalty area, and he suddenly shot the ball. the haigang team's defense line failed to block it, and the ball went into the net. for the second goal, aiman ​​fully demonstrated his excellent personal dribbling ability, causing wei zhen to make a low-level mistake.

at present, aiman's transfer market price is 550,000 euros, which is basically the same as zhu chenjie's value, but slightly lower than wei shihao's 800,000 euros. it should be said that the shanghai port team is slightly unprepared for the outstanding personal ability of this rising star.
