According to Beijing Youth Daily, Wu Lei will be the first captain of the national soccer team, which is a sign of the reuse of Wu Lei by head coach Ivan. However, Wu Lei himself does not have the ability to ride alone and needs his teammates to pass the ball to him in order to maximize his running ability.
Wu Lei has been able to score goals in the Chinese Super League without teammates such as Konka and Oscar feeding him the ball, but the midfield of the national soccer team tends to be a four-man parallel position. Previously Shenhua's Cao Yunding was a rare forward player who could run a few steps to break through before getting the ball, and could also shoot. But he and Wu Lei are rivals, so the national soccer team rarely recruits him or puts him on the field. For the national football team, the most missing players are Kong Wu and Oscar, who have strong attacking ability.
Before the war started, Wu Lei was the first to show his sword. He said Japan is now the world's strongest team and there is a big gap between us and them in terms of strength, but that doesn't mean we will give up. Entering the top 18, we will cherish this opportunity to play against strong teams and improve our experience and strength, so we will definitely try our best and won't give up.
He added that he was getting older in the team and that this would be his last chance and he certainly wanted to do well.
What do you hear in that? Yes, it's the indomitable power of never giving up. There is no reason for the head coach to appoint him. Wu Lei's spirit is bound to infect his teammates and will not give up easily on a mental level.
In fact, there is not much time left for the national football team, but this game can be advanced with a draw, so theoretically the national football team still has the hope of advancing.
Let's look forward to this upcoming match and cheer on the Chinese men's soccer team!
