I believe that recently many Chinese fans have begun to get busy, and they are happy to be busy. Because the second stage of the Chinese Super League has finally begun, due to the preparation of the national team for the World Preliminary Round, our league has been suspended for too long, the fans have not seen the league for a long time, and even the first few rounds of the FA Cup some time ago felt fragrant. But now our league has changed a lot, and in the past decade we have looked at the Chinese Super League to see the big names of foreign players, and to see how world-class players perform on the pitch up close. With the end of the JinYuan era, the big-name foreign aid went seven, seven, eight, and eight, and the responsibility of the league was returned to the Chinese players. And now we look at the Chinese Super League, in order to see local players, especially local young players, to see if they can rise rapidly, carry the banner of Chinese football, and alleviate the talent gap of Chinese football.
Therefore, some teams with many young players and strong strength have become the focus of attention of fans. Because everyone hopes to see the scene like the 2019 Guangzhou team youth storm winning the championship. And now it is clear that the Dalian people's team that is currently attracting everyone's attention is more. Previously, because of Wanda's entry, Dalian also opened the Evergrande model, frantically introducing big-name foreign aid, such as Carrasco, Gaitan, Hamsik, etc., and local players have also hoarded a lot of dalian old internationals. However, such investment has not bought good results for dalian people. So since last season, the way Dalian Renren Club operates has changed, and they have turned to the youth storm. While digging up his own youth players, he also began to introduce excellent young players to the greatest extent, such as many of the main players of the Hiddink National Olympic Team, which were dug up by Dalian people. Typical are the main strikers Lin Liangming and Shan Huanhuan, the main back Wu Wei, and the right guard Tong Lei, in addition to the 01 national youth striker Tao Qianglong. It can be said that these are the future of national football.
However, the introduction of so many young players at once, and all of them are entrusted with heavy responsibilities, is also a lot of pressure for these young players. They need to pay tuition fees and need a period of time to adapt to the rhythm of the Chinese Super League. So last season plus the first 14 rounds of this season, Dalian's results were not very good. However, we can see that after deciding on the youth storm and implementing it, dalian people's game rhythm is very fast, because young players can run. And as the young players play more and more games, they play better and better, and it is becoming more and more difficult for other teams to win Dalian.
For example, in the competition between Dalian people and Henan Songshan Longmen team that ended on the evening of the 12th, Dalian people rarely defeated the stronger Henan Songshan Longmen team with an overwhelming advantage, which surprised many fans. For example, after half-time, we look at the data is one-sided, the possession rate is 57.2%-42.8%, the shooting ratio is 16-1, and the shooting is also 6-1, which shows how big the advantage of dalian people is. The final result of the whole game was also a 1-0 victory for Dalian. The goal was scored by foreign aid Larson, who scored a direct free kick to kill the Henan Songshan Dragon Gate team.
Although Dalian people have won by scoring goals from foreign aid, Dalian's young local players have performed well. For example, the free kick that Larson scored was created by Tao Qianglong's breakthrough, and the young player Wang Zhen'ao on the front line played aggressively and ran all over the field. Of course, the most outstanding performance is the 24-year-old right-back Tong Lei this year. He frequently inserted assists on the flanks, and tried many times to succeed, and he was also able to face multiple people in high-speed advancement, playing small techniques, which was simply amazing.
The post-match ratings say it all. Larson scored the highest score in this match, 8.2 points, and in second place was Tong Lei, with a high score of 7.7 points. In terms of data, the performance is 65 touches, 34 foot passes, 3 long passes, 1 key pass, the pass success rate is 73.5%, the top success is 1 time, the pass is 2 times, the steal is 2 times, the interception is 5 times, and the clearance is 5 times. This data also shows Tong Lei's performance in this game, that is, he has made great contributions in both the defensive end and the offensive end, and it can be said that he can attack and defend.
It can be seen that Hiddink coached the national Olympic team and used a large number of foreign players, but he was very resolute in using Tong Lei in the right-back position, and he had absolute trust in Tong Lei, and the reasons are now answered. Because Tong Lei does have talent, and what he shows at the moment is something that ordinary Chinese players don't have. Even Tong Lei's talent can go to Europe to try it. Maybe by then, the European League will have Chinese sanlei, Wu Lei, Li Lei and Tong Lei.
Do you think Tong Lei's level can now enter the national team? In addition, if Tong Lei stays in Yangyang, which league and which team do you think is appropriate to go to? Friends are welcome to discuss together in the comment area!
