He is the "Wulei II" in the mouth of the old marshal Xu Genbao, who also debuted at the Chongming Island base.
He made his debut in the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League at the age of 19, and became one of the first dividend beneficiaries of the U23 policy at the age of 20.
The best newcomer in the Chinese Super League with 3 goals and 4 assists in a single season, wearing the No. 10 shirt of the National Olympic Games.
Because of the overlap with the foreign aid position, he has been difficult to get opportunities in the Shanghai seaport, and gradually became the end of the bench.
In this "most miserable" era of the Chinese Super League, it may also be the best era for local attackers.
The "Hu Jinghangs" did not give up on themselves, they wanted to save themselves! This may also be one of the reasons why the Chinese Super League will still be wonderful.
01. Because of the FA policy losses, but also because of the FA policy benefits
Many people know that Wu Lei holds the record of the youngest player in the history of Chinese professional football for 14 years and 10 months.
As "Wu Lei II", although Hu Jinghang is not as prominent as his predecessors, he was only 17 years old before helping Shanghai SIPG reserves win the Chinese Super League reserve league championship.
However, because the Football Association at that time stipulated that only 18 years old could register, Hu Jinghang only completed his belated debut in the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League in 2016.
A year later, the 20-year-old Hu Jing hang leased Henan Jianye and won the main position with the dividend of the U23 policy (25 starts in 27 appearances). His season record of 3 goals and 4 assists allowed him to win the best newcomer in the Chinese Super League.
Hu Jinghang was calm in the face of success. He said sincerely to the camera: "I will not forget that I am a child of Genbao, and growing up in Chongming Island has often learned a lot of football skills, and also learned the principles of playing football and being a person." I don't want to be Wu Lei second, I still want to stick to being myself. ”
However, it is easy for people to remain calm when they are proud, but it is often difficult to control themselves when they are frustrated. Returning to Shanghai SIPG with the title of Best Newcomer, he contributed assists in the first round of the 2018 season, but since then he has been difficult to get opportunities because of overlapping positions with foreign aid.
Despite 17 appearances, he averaged only 21.7 minutes per game, making it difficult for the 21-year-old Hu Jinghang to control himself. After the match with Guizhou Hengfeng, he issued a sentence on social media "Oh, sense of belonging" to put himself on the cusp of the storm.
02. He bows to reality: he can't grab the ball from foreign aid
Shanghai SIPG will re-loan him to Henan Jianye in the second transfer of the summer window, but unlike half a year ago, the team's front court has been completely occupied by foreign aid.
The 21-year-old Hu Jinghang opened the years of grabbing food with foreign aid on the front line, tasting the sourness of the Chinese Super League.
"I very much want to stay here (Henan Jianye), it is not interesting to play as a substitute in the giants, and I personally have a very strong desire to return to Henan."
Despite publicly saying that he wanted to stay, Henan Jianye, who ultimately trusted foreign aid more, chose to let him return to Shanghai SIPG. The 22-year-old clamped his tail and made 14 appearances throughout the season, with a total of only 269 minutes (less than 3 full games), but gave a beautiful report card of 3 goals and 1 assist.
2020 is so crucial for Hu Jinghang, because it will be his last year to enjoy the dividends of the U23 policy. On loan to Wuhan Zall, he played 874 minutes in 14 appearances and contributed 3 Goals in the Chinese Super League.
The No. 10 player of the Olympic Games has proved his worth, but also learned to be low-key and humble. After scoring twice in the Chinese Super League, he directly attributed it to his teammates in the face of the interview: "The goal is mainly because the teammates pass the ball well, and Liu Yun and Evra pass well. ”
In the Chinese Olympic team, Hu Jinghang was caught by Hiddink at a glance and put on the No. 10 shirt, which became the offensive core of the team.
Because Hu Jinghang has excellent ability to take the ball, he also has a good passing creativity. In the absence of foreign aid, he is one of the best options for the home front to launch an attack.
Unfortunately, the team's record is not good, although Hu Jinghang's performance from the preliminaries to the U23 Asian Cup and Olympic Qualifiers is remarkable, but it can not be remembered by more fans.
Years of wandering have gradually matured, and in 2020, Hu Jinghang donated 200,000 yuan to Ezhou, Hubei Province, to the epidemic situation
The people of their hometown express their hearts.
When the reporter interviewed him to express praise, Hu Jinghang modestly said: "Compared with some of the medical staff who are fighting, I am far behind." ”
03. When foreign aid is at low tide: Hu Jinghang must save themselves!
This season, for various reasons, the number of foreign aid in the Chinese Super League has become much less. Perhaps this is the worst era of the Chinese Super League, but it is also the best era of local attackers.
Especially for the 24-year-old 97th National Olympic Players, they lost the dividends of the U23 policy and were originally in the most desperate moment, but the space after the foreign aid faded out was the last straw they could seize.
In the last round of the Chinese Super League, only Jiang Guangtai, a naturalized player, the "All-China Class" Guangzhou team forced a 0-0 draw with Shanghai Harbor, the most eye-catching local player in the game, but it was Hu Jinghang, who played less than 20 minutes off the bench.
Although the starting position was handed over to U23 young player Liu Zhurun, Shanghai Harbor, who could not open the situation and was injured by foreign aid forwards, finally remembered Hu Jinghang at the end of the bench.
Less than a minute into the game, Hu Jinghang created a foul on Deng Hanwen with his excellent ball control ability. At that time, the other side already had a yellow card on his body, and if the referee was stricter, the Shanghai seaport would get a numerical advantage.
The most threatening attack in the second half of the Shanghai Seaport came from Hu Jinghang's launch. He first turned his back against Guangzhou center-back Wu Shaocong, and then the ball was divided by Yan Dinghao, who was in the supplementary position.
Hu Jinghang, who entered the forbidden area, sent a beautiful cross, but it was a pity that Oscar faced a good opportunity to kill in front of the goal, but he flew with one foot.
In the injury time stage of the game, Hu Jinghang used his personal ability to control the ball for two consecutive times in one minute. First he won the sideline ball after passing, and then he sent a good ball to Oscar in a one-on-two situation on the wing, but unfortunately the latter's cross was still poor and was released.
The "All-China Class" Guangzhou team forced a 0-0 draw with Shanghai Harbor, and Chinese local players proved their ability, winning applause not only from Guangzhou players, but also hu Jinghang, the former best newcomer of the Chinese Super League, who no longer enjoyed the U23 policy dividend in the Shanghai Harbor squad.
Conclusion:
Although no longer a U23 player, Hu Jinghang, who has a living under his feet, is a rare talent among local players. At the moment when the foreign aid fades out, this will be a good opportunity for a local attacker like him to come to the top.
Maybe The shanghai seaport lineup is too strong, and it is still difficult for him to get ahead. However, I believe that as long as Hu Jinghang continues to insist, next season he will find a suitable stage for him to shine.
The 24-year-old "Wu Lei II" is looking forward to rebirth, and there is no shortage of such stories in the Chinese Super League, which is also one of the highlights of the "post-Golden Age" That attracts fans.
