Before the start of the first match of the Asian Cup, the national football team's best Wei Shihao suddenly absent 23 players. Subsequently, the reason about Wei Shihao's absence caused a lot of hot discussion among fans. Fortunately, this time, the national soccer team clarified the reason for Wei Shihao's absence in time. Head coach Yang Kovic said in an interview before the match that Wei Shihao had suffered some minor injuries, so he was not included in the list.
▷Details of Wei Shihao's injury are revealed.
According to Jankovic, Wei Shihao's injury is mainly a strain of the groin stock. He was strained during training the day before the start of the match. Jankovic also revealed that Wei Shihao's injury is not serious and he will recover for the next matches.
But Jankovic himself is not sure if he will be back for the second or the last game. A decision can only be made after the National Football League team doctor confirms the diagnosis.
Wei Shihao has played well in the past two WC matches. Other players don't have his breaking ability or passing ability.
After missing Wei Shihao's blistering presence, the impact of the national soccer team's first match against Tajikistan remained high. Yang Kovic arranged Dai Weijun to replace Wei Shihao. As a result, Dai Weijun was very uncomfortable and fell into the opponent's circle as soon as he took the ball.
▷ Will Wei Shihao be able to make it in time for the Asian Cup survival match?
Since the national soccer team didn't get 3 points from Tajikistan in the first round, it means that the second match of the national soccer team against Lebanon will be a real battle of life and death. In this match, Wei Shihao is the most needed player for the national soccer team.
The national soccer team played against Tajikistan at 7:30 p.m. on the 17th. There are still four days to go before the start of the match. If Wei Shihao's injury is a minor one, as Jankovic says, then he is still very much in the running to play a do-or-die game when he returns from injury.
On the contrary, if Jankovic is just trying to confuse his opponents and hide Wei Shihao's real damage! Then, don't rule out that Wei Shihao can only come back in the last round against Qatar. Once the national soccer team did not get 4 points in the first two rounds, Wei Shihao may not be significant to the national soccer team even if he comes back.
From the first round of the national football team, the national football team can play players are basically young players. For example, Zhang Yuning, Lin Liangming, Xie Pengfei, Zhu Chenjie, Wang Shangyuan, etc. 35 year old Tan Long, 32 year old Wu Lei, 34 year old Zhang Linmiao, and other starters who were once used by Yang Kovic are in a very bad shape.
It also surprised Jankovic that the national soccer team still rushes to focus on young players if they want to hit the 18th round of the World Cup! The Asian Cup gives them more playing time.
