Can Wei Shihao carry the future of the national soccer team? The answer is obviously no.
He lacks the positive energy and fighting spirit that the national soccer team should have, but instead shows negative emotions and a disgraceful nature. Such a player can not become a symbol of the national football team, and even more difficult to become the pride of the Guangzhou team, after all, his skills and character are flawed.
Looking back at my previous article on Wei Shihao's discussion, numerous fans interacted with me in the comments section, many of whom said, "You have to admit that Wei Shihao is our country's current best homegrown striker." However, I couldn't agree with this viewpoint, so today I wrote an article to explain why Wei Shihao is not our country's current best striker.
First of all: our best striker is not Wu Lei.
In the 2018 season, Wu Lei won the Chinese Super League title with Shanghai SIPG, scoring 27 goals and contributing 8 assists that season. Subsequently, he joined La Liga España in early 2019 and had outstanding performances in La Liga, UEFA, and La Liga B. Despite a dip in form after contracting a new strain of Crown Pneumonia, Wu Lei's dedication, ability to capitalize on chances, maturity and calmness on the field far exceeds that of Wei Shihao.
Meanwhile, in the Asian Cup match, Wu Lei took the field with injuries to help the national football team break through the goal, even if he had injuries on his own body, he also endured the pain to fight for the glory of the country. Such a player, with quality, big-picture view, emotional intelligence and ball skills, is a very mature professional player and a model for all strikers in our country.
Secondly, players like Dong Xuesheng and Tan Long are not inferior to Wei Shihao in terms of striker ability. Dong Xuesheng can play as a winger, Tan Long can play as a center forward and winger, while Wei Shihao? He can't even guarantee an absolute start for Guangzhou, so how can he talk about our country's best striker?
Second: Do Wesley's stats really look good?
In the 2019 season, Wei Shihao gradually kicked his way into the starting lineup at Guangzhou, making 23 starts in 25 games, scoring 11 goals, contributing 6 assists, and receiving 3 yellow cards. Dong Xuesheng, on the other hand, scored 10 goals, not far from Wei Shihao.In the 2020 season, Wei Shihao made 10 appearances, started 6 times, scored 8 goals, and then got injured for most of the season, and ultimately didn't help his team win the 2020 season title. A good striker who can help his team win the domestic league title, can Wei Shihao do it? In the three years since Wei Shihao joined Guangzhou, the team has only won one title, both in the domestic league and the AFC Champions League, and he has been inconsistent and unable to lead the team to a good result in the AFC Champions League.
You know, with Paulinho and Talisca behind Wei Shi Hao, he should have had more chances than the other players, but did he get the league's top scorer? He's just outside the top 10.
Then look at Wei Shihao's achievements in the national team, only 1 appearance in the 2019 East Asian Cup, 19 minutes on the field; 2 appearances in the 2019 China Cup, 0 goals and 0 assists; 2 appearances in the 2019 World Cup Asian qualifiers, 0 goals and 0 assists. How does such a level qualify you to call yourself our country's best striker?
Third: Can people of bad character represent the national soccer team?
2017 season FA Cup final, Wei Shihao in Shanghai SIPG playing, the second round of the final injury time stage, SIPG had the opportunity to win the title, but Wei Shihao pushed down the opposing player triggered a conflict, and ultimately the red card sentenced Fu Huan, resulting in SIPG missed the championship, Shenhua cup. It was due to Wei Shihao's performance that led Shanghai Hong Kong to sell him directly to Beijing Guoan.
Wei Shihao came to play for Beijing Guoan in the 2018 season. In the 14th round of the league, when Beijing Guoan was aiming for the title, leading Shenhua 2-1. in injury time, the manager replaced Wei Shihao, who was waiting for the bench, and he came on the field and scored an oolong goal directly to help Shenhua equalize to 2-2, so that Beijing Guoan's original 3 points turned into 1 point. Wei Shihao also cursed the Shenhua team on the field, such behavior is rare in the Chinese Super League, and how qualified to represent the national football team?
In the 2019 national friendly match, Wei Shihao flew to shovel the Uzbek player Shukurov, causing the other party to directly break his leg. In this 40 strong match, in the match against the Philippines, Wei Shihao was discharged from the 23 people's list by Lippi, and it can be seen that this player, whether in the club or in the national team, is a bad record, and has never made his debut in our national team since then. Such a player does not deserve to play for the national football team.
concluding remarks
The level of the national soccer team is not as good as it should be, but our sport has always maintained a good image in terms of sportsmanship. Players like Wei Shihao should not represent our men's soccer team. His hurtful actions and mouth full of spewing expletives have greatly insulted his home team and disgraced many Chinese fans. Such a person can never represent the image of the national soccer team, nor have the ability to play for the national soccer team.
I hope that the national football team can get better and better, I hope that the environment of the national football team is getting better and better, and I hope that there will not be any more people who will disgrace the national football team to travel for their country.
