Before we begin, let's look at two sets of shots:
Shot 1:As the game went on to the 16th minute, Liu Yang's direct pass from the side was not won by Kressan in the middle of the penalty area, and the ball landed in Gan Chao's area of control near the penalty area line. I thought the ball had been completely controlled by Gan Chao, but Liu Yu inserted himself at high speed five meters away, suddenly rushed in front of Gan Chao and pushed it directly! Goalkeeper Zhang Yan took a risky tackle to solve the goal conceding crisis.
Shot 2:Shandong Taishan missed the attack on the right side of the front field, Chengdu Rongcheng broke the ball and counterattacked quickly. Because of the rain, the whole field is very slippery. Although Fellaini tried his best to stop his opponent, Romulo was too fast. At this time, Duan Liuyu appeared again in time and threw his whole body out. First, he slowed down his opponent's counterattack. Then, Duan Liuyu managed to cut off the ball when Romulo was unstable with the ball and tried to stab Fellaini with the ball, thus creating a threatening attacking opportunity.
Seeing these two sets of footage, I believe we all know in our hearts that the protagonist of this article: Duan Liu Yu.
No one expected that Duan Liuyu, who has been sitting on the bench, would be on Shandong Taishan's starting lineup. Maybe Fabio wanted to test a different lineup, maybe the team has been in the doldrums lately and wanted to test the effect with different fans, or maybe the schedule has been dense lately and wanted to rotate in the lineup, etc.
No matter what the reason was, in short, Duan Liu Yu did get on the field.
Before the game started, many fans expressed their feelings on social media and pop-ups. For example, although the game has not yet begun, but see Duan Liuyu finally appeared, I have felt immense relief. There were also many friends who said bluntly:¡°The most anticipated and outstanding talent of Taishan team in the past has finally appeared in our sight again. How can they not shed tears?"
Throughout the game, Duan Liuyu played 76 minutes. Except for the two shots mentioned above, there was hardly any bright performance. It's probably because I haven't played an official game in a long time. Duan Liuyu was more cautious in handling the ball, and completely lost his delicate footwork and magnificent technique that dared to make extraordinary moves. And this game was arranged in the front position. Each of his feet had a high probability of determining the quality of the offense. Duan Liu Yu understood this situation, so he preferred to spread more safe worlds rather than risk spreading threatening balls.
In a 70+ minute performance, there were no technical highlights, but the effort earned recognition. The two sets of brilliant shots were opportunities to spell out for the team. You can say that this is the coach's request, but I prefer to believe that this is Duan Liuyu's helpless play to try his best to integrate into the team as soon as possible.
I thought Shandong Taishan had included the young Duan Liuyu in their account with a record one million dollar signature fee. Because of his excellent grades in all subjects, Duan Liuyu was also affectionately known as the principal. Later, after unremitting efforts, he was appreciated by the then head coach Li Xiaopeng and got a lot of opportunities to play. Duan Liuyu's spreading partnership with Jin Jingdao, Pele and Artemisia is a delight to watch. Duan Liuyu, who plays with confidence, is not physically dominant, but his super-high players often run out of unexpected positions, and the spirit with which he plays is amazing.
Excellent performance has also been favored by the national brand, once highly praised by everyone. For example, "the main front of the national football team in the next ten years", "Zheng Zhi successor" and so on.
However, the good times didn't last long. After a short period of injury, there were ups and downs in form. With Li Xiaopeng's departure, Duan Liuyu hardly had a chance to play. Hao Wei trusted the foreign front man more. Like Moises now, Duan Liuyu started his career on the bench. Although he got a chance to play every season, many times it was as a substitute, or even if he started, he wouldn't play for a full crowd. Without guaranteed minutes, Duan Liuyu's form was even harder to guarantee.
In fact, Duan Liuyu is only 24 years old now. Based on his talent and ability, he won't play. At the end of the day, Taishan trusts foreigners more in the forward position, not to mention Duan Liuyu. Even the best domestic front-rowers have a hard time finding a chance to play in the current Taishan team. For Duan Liuyu, besides the front waist, he is also a forward defender, but at present there are too many players competing for the position of forward defender. For example, Sun Guowen, Liu Binbin, Chen Pu, and Fernando are all at the international level, excluding Liu Yang, Relax, Ji Xiang, and so on.
So it's even harder for Duan Liuyu to find a chance at the wingback position. But the front waist has always been the world of Moises, even if the old Mo is not there, then it is Sun Junho moving forward, or Cressan retreating slightly. It's really hard for Duan Liuyu to find a chance to play.
To get a chance to play in the Taishan team, Duan Liuyu firstly depends on the attitude of the head coach. Secondly, he has to work harder in the usual training to impress the head coach. Finally, when the opportunity really comes, Duan Liuyu must seize the limited opportunity to prove himself again as soon as possible, just like the sudden start in this game, or the need to rotate for multiple fronts in the future.
The words are at both ends of the spectrum. For Duan Liuyu, sometimes he really needs to think about his future. Shandong Taishan also needs to explain to talented players that they can't always be put on the bench, which is not only a serious waste of resources, but also a great irresponsibility to the player's career.
