In addition to many competitions, Dabao has shown its "strange soldier" character in the warm-up matches. Back to 2015, in the match against Haiti, the national football team until the 80th minute is still in a backward situation, the then head coach Pellan decisively replaced Yu Dabao. The latter came on the field only a moment, to help the national football team to equalize the score. Immediately after, a few days later, he came on as a substitute again, in the 94th minute of the game to complete the kill, to help the national football team and Tunisia draw. Today's national football team, if we talk about that can repeatedly save the team in danger of the "lucky general", I am afraid that no one can be compared with Yu Dabao.
However, the hero is late, "lucky general" is not a day's work. Yu Dabao's splendor is no longer, the fans also have a clear mind. For the performance of Dabao in the national football team, unrealistic expectations and excessive expectations intertwined, which seems reasonable. But high expectations, disappointment is also deep. Rationality will eventually prevail. For example, in the national football team and Saudi Arabia 1:1 draw in the game, the second half of the substitution of YuDaBao in a counterattack made a controversial choice, which also let him by the captain of the accusation of WuXi. It was in the 75th minute of the Battle of China-Saudi Arabia, when Yu Dabao replaced Zhang Yuning. In the face of the tight forward line of the national football team, Yu Dabao, who has been transformed into a center back in Beijing Guoan, appeared in the position of center forward. In the 78th minute, Dai Weijun faced the opponents in front of the successive breakthrough success, but as a recent teammate of Yu Dabao did not forward insert, but waiting at the back. At this time, the TV broadcast of the commentator Su Dong anxiously shouted: "Yu Dabao, you run ah." However, for some time after the game, no one questioned the performance of the national soccer substitutes. It was not until a live webcast program that well-known soccer commentator Dong Lu criticized. He said, "In fact, yesterday's 'social death' of Yu Dabao was very much related to a certain platform commentator's expression at that time. He said 'Yu Dabao, you are running ah', running what ah? Do you know anything about soccer? As a commentator, you directly said in that situation that Yu Dabao should run. Where is he going to run? He should be at the back to protect the receiver and then watch the transfer early." As a result, a big discussion about whether Yu Dabao is a "protective receiver" or a lazy attitude began, and insiders and fans engaged in a heated discussion. But in any case, "protective receiver" of Yu Dabao and "China-Vietnam war" in the "dodge the ball" of Wu Xi, as many people "nailed to the pillar of shame". The All of this seems to have been foretold. In the first round of the Asian qualifying round of 12 group B matches in the World Cup, the Chinese team 0-3 against Australia, Yu Dabao, the former "national football carp" instantly became the "sinner" of the people's mouths. 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 has left a failure that can not be erased. But this is not the problem of Yu Dabao alone, the entire national football team has hit the ceiling of strength. Just in the rhetoric repeatedly amplified Australia's "lack of soldiers and less generals" and hasty response to the war, people were ignited expectations and the reality of the contrast between too great. In any case, Yu Dabao's retirement seems to be inevitable. Some media believe that Yu Dabao quit the national team is not a hasty decision, now this national football team's blood change is inevitable, the national football team this year, no major tournaments, to participate in the East Asia Cup players will be mainly young people, Yu Dabao quit the national team, but also will be able to make the position of international players to the young people. But 35-year-old Yu Dabao, shouldn't be carrying a curse to leave. No one can completely negate his self-discipline, dedication and original intention to win for his country and his brilliant national team career because of a few unbearable losses and because of his mistakes. Yu Dabao deserves to be applauded.
