I believe that many fans were worried about their Chinese Super League home team before the start of this season. Because with the league salary limit, big-name foreign aides have left the Chinese Super League. Then, because of the epidemic, ordinary foreign aid is also difficult to enter, coupled with the general financial difficulties of Chinese Super League clubs this year, and even large-scale salary arrears, so there is basically no hope for reinforcement. So according to the previous vision, the quality of the Chinese Super League will drop greatly, and because there is no big-name foreign aid to help, the team is likely to have difficulty even scoring a goal. Because for so many years, the local striker is basically synonymous with "weak edge".
But after the start of the league, we got a windfall. Because we always think that local strikers are not very good, but in fact, when our clubs push local strikers to key positions and let them take the initiative to take on the responsibilities of the team, they will find that they can actually do it, as long as they are given the opportunity, they can score. Although our local strikers are not as outstanding as the individual capabilities of foreign aid, they also have their own characteristics, as long as a reasonable overall strategy is formulated, our strikers can play a great role, and even can carry the banner of the front.
For example, Guo Tianyu of Shandong Taishan, after Pele left, he became the high fulcrum of the team's front line, and has scored 9 goals in the league, the most local players. There is also Zhang Yuning of Beijing Guoan, who also plays a strong role in the fulcrum of the front. And after Bakambu left, he also started to get closer to the goal, so his goal came. After scoring in the last round, he has scored in five consecutive rounds, setting a record. Moreover, Zhang Yuning was also brought to the round of 12 by former national team coach Li Tie, and with his outstanding performance, he successfully replaced Axon as the main center of the national football team. It can be said that although the level of the league has declined, our local strikers have begun to rise after they have the opportunity, which is good for the long-term development of Chinese football.
Of course, it is definitely not only these two players who surprised us, but also a local striker has risen in the Shanghai Harbor team, an absolute giant in the Chinese Super League. Everyone knows that Shanghai Haigang is the champion of the Chinese Super League in the 2018 season, and Haigang has always been known for its wealth and wealth, and their main axis is also foreign aid. The strongest of these was the front, with Hulk and Arnautovic in the squad. Now that both big names have left, everyone thinks that SIPG's attack power will be greatly reduced. However, in fact, there are still many goals scored by SIPG, and the reason is that the 32-year-old local striker Lu Wenjun has broken out. In the absence of foreign aid, he carried the team's forward banner, in 16 rounds, he made 15 starts, has scored 7 goals, became the team's top scorer king, ranked 7th in the list of shooters, 3rd in the list of local shooters, second only to Guo Tianyu and Zhang Yuning. And just in the recent championship group match, it was Lu Wenjun's killer ball that helped Shanghai Harbor win and save the possibility of winning the championship.
The match was a match between Shanghai Harbour and Guangzhou City. It was the 15th minute of the first half, foreign assistant Paulinho broke through to the left bottom line of the penalty area with the ball, then he chose to cross the low flat ball to the goal, Lu Wenjun inserted the point in place, after getting the ball did not choose to shoot immediately, but a pause adjustment, a swing to the goalkeeper and defender, and then easily got up and pushed the goal, the score became 1-0. And now it seems that Lu Wenjun's foot handling is still very calm and smart, because after that, there are still many opportunities in the Shanghai seaport but they have not been seized, which makes people look very anxious. In the end, the team won 1-0 and scored a valuable 3 points. After this game, the gap between Haigang and Shandong Taishan is still 5 points, so the next direct duel between the two sides is likely to determine the championship of this season.
In fact, from this point of view, Lu Wenjun is still very powerful, and he has the level of an international footballer. In fact, even Lu Wenjun himself thinks that he can enter the national team. But the training roster for the round of 12 didn't have his name, which disappointed him for a while. But soon he put all his energy into playing and training, trying to prove himself by playing and scoring goals. During the round of 12, Xu Genbao, the meritorious coach of Chinese football, said that if Lu Wenjun was in the national team, it would be good, and Lu Wenjun would score a lot of balls in the national football team. We all know that Lu Wenjun and Wu Lei have played together from childhood to adulthood, they have a very tacit understanding, Lu Wenjun can also better activate Wu Lei and let Wu Lei score more goals.
So it is certain that Lu Wenjun's ability is very strong and has a great effect, when there is no Wu Lei, his forward insertion and shooting can also make himself score goals, and when there is Wu Lei, he can cooperate with Wu Lei and activate Wu Lei. Therefore, no matter from the perspective of data, performance and role, Lu Wenjun should have a place in the national team, so Li Tie still owes him a national team place. However, now that Li Tie is no longer the coach of the national team, he has been replaced by Li Xiaopeng, and I don't know if Li Xiaopeng will choose Lu Wenjun for guidance. Do you think Lu Wenjun should enter the national team? Can he help the national team? Friends are welcome to discuss together in the comment area!
