Guoan celebrated with their fans after beating Dalian Ren by two goals. Although it was just an ordinary league game, the atmosphere was as warm as it was at the end of the season. Zhang Xizhe, who was suspended for seven games, stood with his teammates again. At this moment, the significance is far greater than the victory itself. Guoan showed unity to the outside world, including players and players, players and fans. Currently, Guoan has 12 wins, 9 draws, 6 losses and 45 points, three points behind third-place Shenhua. With three rounds left, it still has an impact on the top three positions.
Good things come in pairs. Just after winning the league, Guoan was called up by the national team. Li Lei, Li Ke, Gao Tianyi, Fang Hao and four others were selected for the new national soccer team list. The first three are regulars of the national football team, mainly focusing on the middle and backfield, and 23-year-old fast horse Fang Hao was selected to surprise the outside world. On the one hand, Fang Hao transferred to Guoan just six months ago, but by then he had already expired with Taishan. The latter did not renew his contract and Guoan had the opportunity to sign him. Fang Hao was only a reserve player at the time and was not favored by the outside world.
On the other hand, in the past six months, although Fang Hao played 17 games for Guoan, he only had 4 starting games. It can be seen that Fang Hao is not a mainstay of Stanley and Suarez's tactical system. However, in this case, Fang Hao got 3 goals and 1 assist, and his excellent efficiency was a big reason to impress Jankovic. In addition, in this Asian Games, Fang Hao created chances for his teammates at all costs. At the same time, his individual breakthroughs also posed a threat.
Therefore, due to multiple reasons, Fang Hao was selected to the national team at the age of 23. This kind of experience is rare and proves Fang Hao's strength. It should be said that Fang Hao's selection to the national soccer team is the happiest for national security and three gains.
First, turn the stone into gold, ditch the international players. brought in for $0 and became an international player 6 months later, Fang Hao had a metamorphosis at Guoan. It was a process of mutual achievement. The players gave the club's trust with their goals, and Guoan's platform made Fang Hao more concerned. It is important to know that Jankovic appeared more than once in Gongti to watch Taishan, which has nothing to do with Fang Hao's selection.
Secondly, it's too late to regret, Luneng made the wedding dress. Fang Hao was selected for the national soccer team, the most regrettable is Taishan. Fang Hao grew up in the youth training system of Luneng Football School, and the latter has made some achievements in this regard. However, just at the most crucial time of selection, Taishan took a look this time and let go of a player who was about to become an international player, which also emphasized the selection vision of Guoan.
Thirdly, there is unlimited potential for further endeavors. Fang Hao is now 23 years old, with a longer future and growth potential. It's safe to say that Fang Hao's social status will be much higher, but even so, Guoan shouldn't let go of him, because with Fang Hao's potential, he may have a bigger impact in the future.
It should be said that Guoan's signing is a classic and can be described as a pearl of discernment, especially the baby that Taishan snatched. The latter also took Liu Guobo from Beijing, whose brother Liu Guobo was even more intense and brutal. Of course, Fang Hao needs to keep a low profile and be humble. Entering the national soccer team is just the first step. Whether he can stand firm is the key. In terms of technical characteristics, Fang Hao is similar to Yan Xiangguan back then, not too tall and fast. Next, he has to work on his technical moves and clinical work, and is expected to become a starter in the future. After all, international players in the club to play as a substitute is rare.
Aside from Fang Hao, Guoan made a number of signings prior to the season to realize value for money. Han Jiaqi was the starting goalkeeper for the Asian Games men's soccer team. Li Lei returned and was once again selected for the national soccer team. Yang Liyu is firmly in the starting lineup. He set the first record for the team in the last round. Feng Boxuan has supplemented the side reserves well. Zhang Yuan, who was introduced in the summer window, has trustworthy strength. He needs to adapt to joining in the middle of the league and was recently injured. He can only play a role in the next season and is expected to enter the national soccer team in the future.
Of course, Guoan still needs to improve on bringing in foreigners compared to domestic players. De Souza got injured and Ademi left. They had excellent resumes, but they couldn't adapt. However, in Ademi's transfer, Guoan also made a profit, reserving money for signings in the winter window.
Fang Hao's success will allow more young domestic players to see the value of the Guoan platform, which is the main reason why Zhang Yuan gave up his high salary to join Guoan. Of course, Guoan club, as a traditional giant in China, needs to shoulder the responsibility of training young players for national teams at all levels.
