When Shandong Taishan sent Fang Hao to Guoan for free this season, I'm afraid I didn't expect him to take off and knock on the door of the national team. Fang Hao, a youngster from Luneng, has been in the spotlight for a long time. During his loan spell in Wuhan, he showed remarkable strength. As a result, Taishan coach Hao Wei recalled him to the first team last season. However, after joining the first team, Fang Hao did not get enough chances to play. Although his soccer career is on the rise, it seems that Taishan has not been able to provide him with stable playing time.
Faced with this situation, Fang Hao decided to leave Taishan after much deliberation. At that time, Taishan's head coach Hao Wei was not optimistic about Fang Hao's future, believing that it might be difficult for him to maintain a high level of play after his departure, so he agreed to Fang Hao's free departure. In fact, if Taishan had invited Choi Kang-hee to take the helm early on, Fang Hao might not have suffered a release. Because, Fang Hao's unhesitating running and never-give-up spirit are exactly what Choi Kang-hee favors.
Unfortunately, Fang Hao couldn't wait for Cui Kangxi to replace Hao Wei as the head coach of Taishan, so he chose to move to Guoan on a free transfer. This proved to be a wise choice for Fang Hao. The two managers of Guoan, Stanley and Suarez, both favored Fang Hao and provided him with stable playing opportunities. As the old saying goes, opportunities always come to those who are prepared, and this is a true reflection of Fang Hao.
In the games he played for Guoan, Fang Hao helped the team turn the game around many times with his quick explosive power, leading the team out of the doldrums and achieving remarkable results. With his outstanding performance in Guoan, Fang Hao gradually became a popular figure in the domestic soccer world. At the Hangzhou Asian Games, Fang Hao was a key attacking player for the Chinese men's soccer team, helping the team to reach the semi-finals. Now, Fang Hao has successfully entered Yang Kovic's national team, realizing his dream of playing for the national team for the first time. Yang Kovic has always been fond of Fang Hao, and they have worked together in the U23 national team. Jankovic led the U23 national soccer team to the Dubai Cup.
In the match between China and Thailand, Fang Hao became famous with a wonderful difficult goal, which impressed Jankovic. Therefore, when Yankovic became the head coach of the national team, he did not hesitate to recruit Fang Hao into the national team. Unsurprisingly, Fang Hao will make his debut in the match against Vietnam this month. I wonder if the Taishan team regrets letting go of this player who is expected to be a mainstay of the national soccer team. Looking forward to the match against Vietnam, Fang Hao will repay Jankovic's trust with goals and quickly establish himself in the national team.
