I believe that many fans know that "weak edge" is one of the labels that the national football team has been labeled for the longest time. Since playing in our Chinese Super League, we have been madly obsessed with foreign aid strikers, and our local players have become harem babies, basically acting as a substitute for foreign aid in the league, and can play so many games in a season when foreign aid is suspended and injured. So over time it has affected the development of local strikers, and at the back our home strikers are either sitting on the bench or changing positions, with speed to play on the wing, with body and height to play defenders. So to the national team there is no front available, which is why the national football team always faces the weak brigades and always can't pry open the other side's door, and the face of the strong teams is also a key opportunity to grasp, because the level of the front line is not high, the experience is poor, the psychology is not honed, and it is not strong enough. So you can't count on them at critical moments.
Especially after the opening of the Golden Yuan era, the front line of the Chinese Super League began to become a player of the level of Drogba, Anelka, Hulk, and our local striker, especially the core center position, was even more difficult. So later our fans pinned their hopes on the naturalized players, hoping that through naturalization, the problem of the weakness of the front could be solved. But then we won the Chinese Super League top scorer Axon, Luo Guofu, the Europa League Golden Boot Alain, and the giant killer Fernando Who rode a thousand miles, but found that the elderly did not solve the problem of the national football team. In the end, the problem of scoring goals was solved by our local players, and now the strongest in the center position is Zhang Yuning, and the strongest goal-scoring ability is Wu Lei, who has become the top pillar of the national football front.
However, with the end of the Golden Yuan era in the Chinese Super League, a large number of foreign aides left the Chinese Super League, and local players returned to the central axis position, so local strikers also began to rise this season. One of the typical representative figures is Guo Tianyu, a native tower of Taishan in Shandong. With Italy's Gotapelle leaving the team after his contract expired at the beginning of the season, Guo Tianyu, who is as tall as 192, has become the biggest reliance on the team's forward line. Of course, in addition to height, Guo Tianyu's advantage is that he also has a strong physical confrontation ability, good foot technology and a certain speed, it can be said that his physical condition is too perfect, completely a young version of Pele.
And this season Shandong Taishan team is also playing very smoothly, and the front line of Guo Tianyu is more like a fish, so far he has scored 10 goals in the league, currently ranked 3rd in the top scorer list, the 1st place in the local shooter list, it can be said that he has taken over the banner of Wu Lei. Therefore, everyone's expectations for Guo Tianyu are very large, and everyone expects him to quickly become the national team to help the national football team attack the city. However, somewhat unexpectedly, in this round of 12 matches, although Li Tie recruited Guo Tianyu, he did not give him 1 minute to play, and later Guo Tianyu also did not leave the team, that is to say, Li Tie seems to believe that Guo Tianyu does not have the strength to play for the national football team.
Later, the understanding of some media and fans is basically that Guo Tianyu is still young, although his congenital conditions are perfect, but there are still deficiencies in game experience and the details of some balls, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. And later, with the opening of the second stage of the Chinese Super League, we also saw that Guo Tianyu was not perfect in running and selecting positions, as well as the handling of some balls. Especially in the key matches against strong teams, Guo Tianyu did not perform well in the downwind ball, so how to play better under pressure needs him to make a breakthrough.
However, in a key game of the championship group that just ended, Guo Tianyu finally passed this hurdle, he contributed a killer goal in the last moment to help the team reverse the victory, and the 3 points won directly expanded the point advantage of Shandong Taishan team to 10 points, that is to say, Shandong Taishan team was one victory away from the championship.
The opponent of Shandong Taishan in this match is the fourth ranked dark horse Changchun Yatai team. In the first half, Shandong Taishan did not play well, and there were not many opportunities. Shortly after the start of the second half, Yatai took the lead, and Shandong Taishan fell behind 0-1. At this time, the team felt the pressure, so it strengthened the attack, and Guo Tianyu's role began to stand out. But there are more opportunities, and Guo Tianyu has passed the goal again and again.
In the 54th minute of the game, Guo Tianyu received a teammate's header back to the point, pulled his foot on the edge of the penalty area and shot furiously, because it was too powerful, the ball was high and deflected.
In the 61st minute of the game, The Taishan team penetrated the Yatai defense in the middle of the road, Shi Ke reversed the triangle near the right bottom line, and Guo Tianyu in the penalty area shoveled the ball deflected in the absence of anyone to defend. It's a shame that the ball didn't score.
After Delgado equalized for Taishan, Guo Tianyu was still wasting his chances. In the 85th minute of the game, Guo Tianyu received a wonderful pass from his teammate in the penalty area, and he stopped the ball and fell down when facing the goalkeeper directly, missing a great opportunity to score.
At that time, many fans should feel that there is still a gap between Guo Tianyu and Zhang Yuning, and under pressure, the ability to grasp the key ball is much worse. However, just as the game was about to end, Guo Tianyu broke out! It was the 2nd minute of stoppage time, Taishan's cross from the left side of the front, Qi Tianyu in the penalty area received the ball back, Guo Tianyu shot low with his right foot, and the goalkeeper saved the ball, but the ball still rolled into the goal. The score became 2-1, and Tarzan reversed Yatai and killed his opponent. Guo Tianyu finally withstood the pressure, scored a key goal, and became the hero of the team.
I believe that after this difficult game and scoring a deadly goal, Guo Tianyu will learn a lot and grow a lot. In fact, this is the wealth that the game can bring to the players. Any top striker needs to go through a lot of game experience to finally make his skills and psychology strong enough. At present, Guo Tianyu is strong, and the speed is very fast. Are you optimistic that Guo Tianyu can play the main force in the national team in the future? What other aspects do you think Guo Tianyu needs to strengthen?
