Xu Genbao faces Wu Lei directly
, throwing out pointed punts: "Wu Lei, you are not a ball player, but only characteristic, how do you think of yourself? Will you be upset?" Wu Lei calmly responded, "Indeed, our team level is limited!"
Xu Genbao continued, "This is only relative, domestic you are a star, international is not, I have quite a high definition of a star."
Wu Lei nodded his head in agreement: "stay in the ocean, netizens called me 'village hope', both show support, but also reflect the scarcity of soccer talent in our country. Compared with Japan and South Korea, there are only a few Chinese players who can gain a foothold in Europe. Some people compare me with Sun Xingyu, it is difficult to match, he is the real star ......."
Xu Genbao once bluntly said Wu Lei non-star, today said the heart: "If China is full of Wu Lei type players, the national football team may have hope. Midfield, defenders also need special players, the overall level can be improved."
Xu Genbao regards the stars as the pillars of the team, which can turn the tide. "Yao Ming on the field, the men's basketball Asian championship is stable, one year he was absent, the championship will fly." He cited an example, Rong Zhixing was a pillar of the Guangdong soccer team, playing football when the ball is superb, do not play the team relegated.
Xu Genbao, the former head coach of China's National Olympic and National Teams, left his post after the National Olympic team went out of the competition. He later coached Shenhua to the championship, becoming the only manager to lead two clubs to win the National Professional League. 2000, he founded the Genbao Football Base, training Wu Lei, Yan Junling and other emerging international players to contribute to the national soccer team.
For the first time in the 2022 World Cup cycle in Qatar, the national football team is using non-blooded naturalized players, but it is still Wu Lei who is starring on the offensive end. "In the World Qualifiers, your goals and penalties are crucial, and the influence of the ball player is all over the place." Xu Genbao spectated from the field, "I have high expectations of you, I want you to organize in the midfield, you can also pass and break through. Of course, I expect a lot from you, do you have a problem with that?"
Wu Lei agreed: "Xu is right. Soccer is a team sport, individual performance needs to be supported by the team. If the team is strong, the individual has a greater impact; if the overall performance is poor, the individual is no longer good enough to play a big role."
Recently, 106 young players gathered at Genbao base to participate in the excellent player selection training. Xu Genbao was the leader of the group, selecting outstanding players to participate in the October 1-4 Shanghai Stars of Tomorrow Championship Cup. Wu Lei expressed his admiration for his mentor's youth training work and planned for the future.
Wu Lei said he did not teach his son to play soccer during his stay in the country, but his son knows the La Liga players like the back of his hand. He emphasized the importance of the soccer atmosphere to the country and city. China has many talented young players, the key is to dig and cultivate. He hopes that what he learns off the pitch will work and his future life will be with soccer. (Chen Hua, Shangguan News)
