:00 on January 9, Beijing time, a match of the U23 Asian Cup started. The Chinese U23 team played against Oman at home, and in the end, the Chinese team won the game 3-0 without any bloodshed. In this battle, the Chinese U23 team's Wei Shihao's performed well, making 3 goals alone, completing a goal, an assist and an instigation attack respectively. Unfortunately, he was replaced due to injury in the 65th minute. Wei Shihao, who is less than 23 years old, has made Chinese fans see hope for the rise of the Chinese national football team .
has created 3 goals alone, and the "National Youth Ronaldo" can support the big scene!
U23 Asian Cup is a nightmare for the Chinese team. The Chinese team suffered a record of losing in three groups in the previous two games, and did not score 1 point in the group stage. In this cup, the Chinese team, which has 6 international players Wei Shihao, Gao Zhunyi, , Yang Liyu, , , He Chao, , , Liu Yiming, and , Deng Hanwen, , and , Deng Hanwen, , is full of confidence and is breaking through the group stage and achieving good results. The lineup of opponent Oman is not weak, and the forward in the team Gasani led the team to defeat Iran Oman's No. 2-0 in the preliminary round.
From the lineup, this was a even-match game, but the game turned into a one-sided game because of the outrageous performance of a Chinese player. This player is Wei Shihao, known as the "National Youth C Ronaldo". He created 3 goals in just 65 minutes - instigation, assists + goals, which kept the Chinese team in a suppressed position.
In the 33rd minute of the game, Wei Shihao planned a beautiful attack. He made a wonderful pass on his heels Li Shuai , and the latter assisted Yang Liyu with a cross from the bottom to score the first record!
3 minutes later, Wei Shihao made a comeback. He easily asked the defender on the left to pass the penalty area with a 45-degree diagonal pass, and his teammate Li Xiaoming headed the ball. The Chinese team ended 2-0. The first half was
. There were both instigation and assists. Obviously, Wei Shihao needed another goal. He did not make fans wait too long. In the 53rd minute of the second half, he received in the penalty area and leaped high. The ball flew straight to the net. The Chinese team killed the game 3-0.
Then in the 65th minute, Wei Shihao was replaced due to injury.
National hope, strong psychology + excellent technology + excellent opportunity grasp ability
As early as December 9, 2017, Wei Shihao, who was only 22 years old, completed his national team debut. He started in the East Asian Cup against South Korea and won the national first goal. Excellent skills and excellent opportunity grasp ability make him not look like a 22-year-old youth team player. On the forward line of the national football team, such a player with excellent dribbling and first-class speed is rare in many years. What is particularly rare is that his outstanding footwork skills and superb shooting skills are comparable to those of South Korea's Sun Xingmin . After the game, the media commented that Wei Shihao's skills have even reached the level of the top five European leagues.
Before that East Asian Cup, Wei Shihao was questioned many times outside the court. His hot temper and his uncontrollable personality became the target of public opinion attacks. But even under such great pressure, Wei Shihao still performed well, not only scoring the national team's debut, but also his opponent was the Korean team! After scoring the goal, Wei Shihao made a move to cover his ears to respond to outside-world interference and doubts. For him, he only needs to score a goal and win the game. Let him go for the rest. Wei Shihao doesn’t want to listen!
This powerful psychological stress resistance is more amazing than his excellent skills. The Chinese national football team has been unable to break out of Asia for many years, which is not unrelated to the psychological stress resistance. Especially in recent years, the national football team's technical and tactical level has improved significantly, but it is still easy to collapse when fighting tough battles, and even mid-level teams such as Syria are difficult to perform normally. In the final analysis, it is because it is not mentally strong enough, and Wei Shihao's rise has just filled the biggest vacancy of the national football team.
The eight world stars are not just a fictional reputation. Please see my
22 World Cup 2013, Atkins, a columnist of the famous American media "bleacher report", once listed a list of the eight world stars in an article. Wei Shihao, as the only Asian player, was selected with him. Among them, world-class stars such as Ishinacho , Zuma, and Lukesha . As a senior football media person, Atkins has no reason to be misleading, and Wei Shihao's subsequent performance also proves that the eight world's new stars are definitely not just famous.
After a brief study abroad, Wei Shihao's skills and personality are becoming increasingly mature. He returned to , the 12 games after in the 12 games after returning to , although he only scored 3 goals and 3 assists, this is based on his only 40 minutes per game. Nowadays, Wei Shihao is more familiar with the environment of the Chinese Super League. He will obviously get more opportunities after transferring to , Guoan . Wei Shihao in the new season seems to be more worthy of people's expectations.
Wei Shihao, born in 1995, will celebrate his 23rd birthday in another 3 months, and the national team coach Lippi can't wait to include him in his 2022 World Cup Dream Team. 022 World Cup qualifiers will be held in 2020 and 2021. At that time, 25-year-old Wei Shihao will reach his personal peak in terms of age, body, technology and experience. Cooperating with Gao Zhunyi, Deng Hanwen and others in the U23 echelon, the Chinese team's lineup for the 2022 World Cup is very worth looking forward to.
After saying goodbye to the 2018 World Cup, the national team led by Lippi did not lose hope. On the contrary, with Lippi's coaching and the growth of core players like Wei Shihao, Chinese fans are full of hope in the 2022 World Cup.
