In the past, when we said that the national football team always liked to say that the national football team was "weak", because there were too many cases of the national football team dropping the chain at key moments in those years, and in the face of the weak brigade, it was often bombed and could not score the ball, and from time to time let the opponent steal one. When facing a strong team, you can show full willpower, but you will always waste the opportunities you have to create, and you will lose everything in the end. The reason for this situation is also very clear, that is, the league does not give the local forwards room to develop, basically the task of scoring goals is handed over to foreign aid. Homegrown strikers sit on the bench, and some of the homegrown guns can only change positions in order to survive, to play midfielders or defenders. Local strikers have not been trained in the game, and it is difficult to stand up at key moments and strike a fatal blow. So the national team has been making a fuss on the front line all these years. Among them, Gao Lin, who played as a full-back in the league, fought in the national team front for many years.
However, the problem of the weakness of the national team in the past two years has been solved. The reason that can be solved is not that we have spent a lot of money to naturalize the big names of the Chinese Super League's front-line foreign aid, but that we have a local striker who has risen, he is Wu Lei, and our players are called Wu Qiu Wang. Wu Lei is a rare talent in Chinese football, his no-ball running, his starting speed and sense of smell in front of goal are all super first-class, which is why he can score in double figures in the Chinese Super League for 6 consecutive seasons, and he can also win the top scorer in the Chinese Super League with 27 goals. His talent has kept his ceiling a lot higher than many Chinese players too much.
And Wu Lei not only proved himself in the Chinese Super League, after he helped Shanghai Harbour win the championship in the 2018 season, he also started his career in the West. He joined La Liga Espanyol, becoming the only Chinese player in the five major leagues. And in La Liga Wulei created a lot of records, such as the first Chinese player to start in La Liga, the first assist, goal, the first to score in the Copa del Rey and score twice, the first to score in the Europa League, the first Chinese player to be thrown in the air by the fans. It can be said that Wu Lei has become the representative of Chinese football, the best representative of Chinese players, and he carries the hope of too many fans.
But recently Wu Lei has also encountered difficulties, that is, he has not played as a substitute in 5 consecutive games in La Liga, and it can be said that Wu Lei has completely lost the main position. The reason is simple, that is, Wu Lei has not scored this season, and it is not that he did not have the opportunity to score, but that he wasted too many one-handed chances, resulting in distrust of his teammates and managers. At present, Wu Lei's single knife seems to be somewhat inexplicable, because the high-speed shot with the ball is Wu Lei's short board, because he always habitually adjusts to the right foot to hit the goal, but when the single knife is in an instant, there is no shot or the pace is not adjusted. Now it seems to be difficult to let the 30-year-old Wu Lei strengthen his reverse foot and change his habits.
Wu Lei can't get into a single knife in Spain, and he can't get into a single knife in the national football team, and we still have to solve this problem in the end, and we need a young man who can run out of a single knife and hit a single knife. And now this person seems to have appeared. He is an 18-year-old youngster from the Guangzhou team of the Chinese Super League.
In a focus battle in the 21st round of the second stage of the Chinese Super League, Guangzhou team faced the nemesis Changchun Yatai team. In the 72nd minute of the game, Guangzhou launched a counterattack, midfielder Zhang Xiuwei sent a long pass straight ball, the front line of Ling Jie was alert to form a single knife, and his way of handling the single knife was to pass the goalkeeper in disguise, and then hit the empty goal to help Guangzhou team take a 1-0 lead. And this ball Ling Jie handled quite a bit of Wu Lei's taste, and the single knife was also more calm and resolute than Wu Lei's handling!
And this is not the first time That's ling jie single-handedly stabbed, just in the last round of Guangzhou's game against Hebei, Ling Jie also opened the record for the team for the first time. It was the 12th minute of the game, Yang Liyu's small angle poke was saved by Bao Yaxiong, Jin Qiang wanted to break the big foot, but Ling Jie blocked it in time and slammed the ball into the goal, this ball seems lucky, in fact, it is related to Ling Jie's sense of smell and enthusiasm in front of the goal. And Ling Jie's reaction is actually very similar to Wu Lei.
After watching these two goals, I believe many fans will feel that this child is promising, at least handling single knife balls reassures us. In fact, Ling Jie can have such a performance, one is that he has such a talent, but also such a type of player, and the second is that he has accumulated most of the game experience in his youth, so as a young player, he is not afraid of the stage. At the beginning, he made his debut in jiangsu Kediyuan youth training, played many domestic youth competitions with the team, and achieved good results, he once scored 23 goals in 23 games in the Youth Super League. Later, Ling Jie was favored by Evergrande Football School, joined Evergrande Football School Spain Branch, and trained and competed with Evergrande Football School in Spain, in 2019, Ling Jie scored 7 goals in 14 games in the spring of Evergrande Madrid Championship (U16 Group), and won the best scorer.
So it is precisely this excellent performance that has allowed him to enter the first team of Guangzhou Evergrande this season, and with the departure of the team's foreign aid and naturalized players, the 18-year-old Ling Jie has also been reused, and finally showed his talent in the Chinese Super League. In fact, more and more people believe that the shortage of Chinese football talents is mainly that the league relies too much on foreign aid, and the key positions are given to foreign aid, and there is nothing wrong with local players. Therefore, it led to the national football team starting out as "weak", and then it has evolved into a central axis talent break, and the results have dropped sharply. In fact, the fact that young talents like Ling Jie can stand out now shows that only by insisting on using and cultivating our own young players can Chinese football make real progress.
