Outside of official tournaments, Yu Dabao had transformed into a mysterious wonder soldier in warm-up matches. Looking back to the 2015 match with Haiti, the national football team was still a goal down in 80 minutes, and coach Pelan promptly replaced Yu Dabao. The player came on for just one minute to equalize the score for the national football team. Then, in the next game, Yu Dabao came on as a substitute and scored the winning goal in the 94th minute to help the national football team draw with Tunisia. In today's lineup, if we talk about the "lucky star" that saved the national football team, I'm afraid no one can be compared to Yu Dabao.
Give it up for Dabo.
Heroes are always late, even the "lucky star" is no exception, Yu Dabao's peak years are no longer.
Fans naturally understand in their hearts, for such a unique Yu Dabao, the expectations and visions of the national football team is inevitably too idealized, which is also human nature.
However, the higher the expectations, the more the voice of reason prevails in the event of failure.
Veteran Yu Dabao, who came on as a second-half substitute in the match against Saudi Arabia, caused controversy with his choices on a counterattack, for which he suffered a rebuke from captain Wu Xi.
In the 75th minute of the "Sino-Saudi Battle", Yu Dabao replaced Zhang Yuning. In the case of the national football team's shortage of manpower in the front line, Yu Dabao, who has been transformed into a center back in Beijing Guoan, appeared in the position of the center forward. In the 78th minute, Dai Weijun faced the opponents in front of the field, successive breakthrough success, Yu Dabao as the nearest teammate did not go forward, but waited at the back, and finally the Saudi players from Dai Weijun feet grabbed the ball. At this time, the TV broadcast of the commentator Su Dong anxiously said: "Yu Dabao, you run ah."
In fact, in the game after the end of a period of time, no one on the national football players on the field of the performance of the obvious questions, until a network live program, well-known soccer commentator Dong Lu criticized: "In fact, yesterday's Yu Dabao's 'social death', and the commentator at the time of the expression of a great relationship. He said 'Yu Dabao, you are running ah', running what ah? Do you know anything about soccer? As a commentator, in that situation, you said directly to Yu Dabao to run. Where is he going to run? He should be at the back to protect the receiver and then watch the transfer in advance."
Therefore, around the Yu Dabao is "protective receiver" or the game attitude lazy, many circles and fans have a heated discussion, and some people even found the former Chinese Super League foreign aid and foreign coaches to seek answers. But in any case, "protective receiver" Yu Dabao and "Vietnam" in the "dodge the ball" Wu Xi, as many people "nailed to the pillar of shame". The
In fact, this has been paved, in the World Cup Asian Zone 12 Group B first round of matches, the Chinese team 0-3 defeat to Australia, the former "national football carp" instantly become the "sinner" of all the verbal attacks. At that time, the national football manager Li Tie discharged a surprising combination of center backs - this is unavailable in the background of the "chance" to make it happen, but let Yu Dabao's career as a national footballer left a difficult to erase the pen of failure. In fact, not only Yu Dabao, the entire national football team has touched the ceiling of strength, just in the rhetoric repeatedly amplified Australia's "lack of soldiers and less generals" and rushed to meet the war, people were ignited by the contrast between the expectations and the reality is too huge.
In any case, Yu Dabao should be retired, although not at the "most suitable" time, and in fact, there is no more suitable time.
Some media believe that Yu Dabao quit the national team is not a hasty decision, and now this national football team's blood change is inevitable, there is no major tournament this year, the East Asian Cup players will be mainly young people, Yu Dabao quit the national team, but also the international position to the young people.
But the 35-year-old Yu Dabao, should not carry the curse to leave, no one can because of a few unbearable losses, because of his mistakes and completely negate his self-discipline, dedication and the original intention to win for the country, as well as his brilliant national team career.
Yu Dabao deserves a round of applause.
