In the arena, Yu Dabao has not only shone in the regular tournament, but also in the warm-up matches repeatedly show their skills. Looking back to the 2015 match with Haiti, although the national football team was still down by one goal in the 80th minute of the game, the then coach Pelan decisively replaced Yu Dabao. He came on for just a minute to equalize the score for the national football team. A few days later, in the match against Tunisia, he completed the 94th minute to help the national football team to draw the opponent. In today's national football team, if we talk about saving the team's "lucky star", I'm afraid no one can be better than him.
Cheers to Dabo.
There is always a time when heroes come to an end, and "Lucky Star" is no exception. Yu Dabao's splendor is no longer, but this does not mean that the fans' expectations and anticipation of him should disappear.
However, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. When failure strikes, the voice of reason often prevails.
Yu Dabao, who came on as a second-half substitute in the 1-1 draw between the national soccer team and Saudi Arabia, made a choice on a counterattack that sparked controversy, which earned him a rebuke from captain Wu Xi.
In the 75th minute of the "Sino-Saudi Battle", Yu Dabao replaced Zhang Yuning on the field. In the face of the plight of the national football team's striker shortage, Yu Dabao, who has been transformed into a center back in Beijing Guoan, appeared in the center forward position this time. In the 78th minute, Dai Weijun made a breakthrough under the opposing team's attack, but as the nearest teammate, Yu Dabao did not intervene in time, but chose to wait at the back. At this point, commentator Su Dong eagerly shouted, "Yu Dabao, run."
However, after the game, no one questioned the performance of the players on the field. Until the network live program, well-known soccer commentator Dong Lu criticized: "In fact, Yu Dabao's mistake has a lot to do with the commentator's expression at that time. He said 'Yu Dabao, but you are running ah', running what? 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 have been in the back to protect the tackle and then watch the transfer early."
The discussion thus began, around the Yu Dabao is "protective receiver" or attitude lazy, many circles and fans have a heated debate, and some people even find the former Premier 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, the same, many people "nailed to the pillar of shame! The
All of this has actually been paved. In the World Preliminary Round Asian Zone 12 Group B first round match, the Chinese team 0-3 defeat to Australia, Yu Dabao as the "national football Koi" instantly become a target. At that time, the national football manager Li Tie discharged a surprising combination of center backs - this is in the background of no one available "chance" to make it happen, but also let Yu Dabao's career as a national footballer has left a difficult to erase the pen of defeat. In fact, not only Yu Dabao, the entire national football team has touched the ceiling of strength, only in the public opinion repeatedly amplified Australia's "lack of soldiers and fewer generals" and hasty response to the war, people were ignited by the expectations of the contrast between the reality is too great.
In any case, Yu Dabao's retirement seems to be inevitable, and although it's not at the "most appropriate" time, there's no better time.
Some media believe that Yu Dabao quit the national team is not a hasty decision. Now this national football team's blood change is imperative, 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 for young players to make room.
But Yu Dabao, 35, should not leave with a bad reputation. No one can completely negate his self-discipline, dedication and original intention to win for his country, as well as his wonderful national soccer career, because of a few unforgiving losses and because of his mistakes.
Yu Dabao deserves a round of applause.
