According to reports in the domestic media, Wei Shihao is feeling quite frustrated and cannot understand why he has repeatedly failed to get involved with the national football team coached by Ivankovic. It is worth noting that his performances in the 36-team tournament were almost the most outstanding in the national soccer team, and his strong character was able to inspire the team's fighting spirit. However, it may have been his suspension from the Chinese Super League that led Ivan to reject his call-up to the national team, as he considered him to be a rebel player with a poor image. This was probably Ivan's biggest mistake in his selection.
However, with the World Qualifiers set to go into a hiatus after the game against Saudi Arabia, there is confusion over Ivanovic's future departure. If Ivan does step down, this is certainly a new opportunity for Wei Shihao. He can show his strength in front of the new coach and regain his qualification for the national team. Many fans also hope that Wei Shihao, who is about to enter his senior year, will be able to realize his talent on the national football team, or at least take over from Wu Lei and become the new king of scorers of the national football team.
