I believe that many fans know that Chinese football has fallen to the bottom. Our Chinese men's team lost 3-1 away to Vietnam on the night of New Year's Day, losing to their opponents for the first time in history. The result was humiliating, but the process made many fans despair. Because the national football team did not take advantage of any advantage in the whole game, we can clearly see that the Vietnamese team's understanding of football, the execution of techniques and tactics, and the team's ability to cooperate are far higher than ours. That is to say, although we still have advantages in physical confrontation and height, the others are short boards. That is to say, as long as we do not play these two points, then we will be firmly controlled by the opponent, and then there is no ability to fight back.
In fact, the most obvious comparison between the two teams in this game is the age structure, and our main framework is still based on the 85-89 groups of people, who are over 30 years old. And our opponents are mainly composed of post-95 players, all of whom are playing in the year. It can be said that this game is like an old man playing a young adult, even if the opponent's personal ability is not as good as yours, but the impact is good, the physical fitness is good, more energetic, as long as the tactics are used properly, it will not be so rare to defeat us.
So in the final analysis, the biggest problem in Chinese football is the lack of talent. Many key positions can only use veterans over the age of 30, and the younger generation, because they can't play well in the league, can't find the right person to take over. In the past, everyone would attribute the talent break to youth training, but now it seems that this matter cannot only blame the youth training, but has a lot to do with our league system. Our teenagers have not had a systematic league to play in from an early age, and the experience of playing is not much in itself. In the professional first team, the team is formed by the core team of foreign aid, the local players can only play auxiliary, and the team performance pressure is generally large, so it is more difficult for young players to get opportunities. Over time, the people were delayed on the bench.
We can recall that over the years, our youth team has also produced a lot of geniuses that we think, and even all kinds of Messi and C Ronaldo, but in the end there are very few, and one of the very important reasons is that they can't play in the first team. I can't play how to fly. Fortunately, this situation was finally reversed in the 2021 season. With the FA's salary restrictions and club financial difficulties, our team could not invest more money in the introduction of foreign aid, so it began to be forced to use local players. In just one season, many local players in our league have erupted, especially in the central axis position, with Zhang Yuning, Guo Tianyu and Tan Long in the center, Xu Xin, Yan Dinghao, Gao Tianyi, Duan Liuyu and Zhang Xiuwei in the midfield, and Zhu Chenjie and Jiang Shenglong in the center-back position. So suddenly let many people understand that it turns out that we talents broke the file, all of which were made by ourselves.
And just recently, another former talented player has been rediscovered and is expected to play in the Chinese Super League. He is the core midfielder and captain Li Shuai of the current Heilongjiang Bingcheng team. Speaking of this name, I believe that many fans are not very familiar with it, Li Shuai is actually a player of the Shaanxi Chanba echelon, and these years have also drifted back and forth with people. In Guizhou Renhe, the then coach Gao Hongbo took a fancy to him at a glance in the echelon, and even publicly expressed that he had found a midfield genius, that is, Li Shuai. It's just a pity that Li Shuai could not play in the Chinese Super League because he was under 18 years old, but Gao Hongbo broke the box and let him train with the first team. Shortly thereafter, Li Shuai was discovered by European scouts and successfully joined the echelon of Portuguese Super League giants Porto. In the half season for Porto U19, Li Shuai made 14 appearances and started 8 of them, scoring 3 goals and 2 assists, which is a good statistic.
Unfortunately, later Guizhou people continued to change, and Li Shuai was transferred back to the team after the end of the loan. And Gao Hongbo's departure also made him no longer valued, full of energy nowhere to release, and later Li Shuai also chose to go out on loan to play games. Over the years, Li Shuai has played several times in the Chinese Second Division and also played in the Middle Division, and finally joined the Heilongjiang FC team at the end of the 2017 season to stabilize. And he quickly became the core of the team's midfield with his own ability, and he wore the number 10 and the captain's armband. It can be said that Li Shuai is one of the few local No. 10 in the Chinese League A, and the most brilliant is also him. Although Li Shuai is not physically strong enough and his height is not high enough, he has a high ball quotient, is good at playing football with his brain, and his ability to take the ball and pass the ball is very good, a bit of Chen Tao's shadow of that year.
However, as a player on the local central axis, it is destined to be difficult to play in big clubs, and Li Shuai has been performing very well in the Chinese League over the years, but there is no Chinese Super League team to extend an olive branch to him, because playing in the No. 10 position of the Chinese Super League is a foreign aid. And Li Shuai also realized this, so he played very steadily in the Middle Division. Last season, he played 27 games for Heilongjiang, including 25 starts, scoring 3 goals and 2 assists, and won the single round player on many occasions. It's just that many fans feel that it is a pity that such an excellent player cannot play in the Chinese Super League.
However, recently there is finally good news, according to the "Sports Weekly" reporter Wang Xiaorui news, the four promotion polo teams in the Chinese Super League in the offseason are in full swing, of which the Chengdu Rongcheng team, which was promoted through the play-offs, recently had a scandal with Li Shuai, who stayed in the U19 youth team in Porto. That is to say, Li Shuai is likely to accompany Chengdu Rongcheng to compete in the Chinese Super League in the new season. At present, Li Shuai is already the peak of the no. 10 local in the Chinese First Division, and see if he can also shine in the Chinese Super League.
Do you think Li Shuai can achieve his ability to play in midfield? Do you think 27-year-old Li Shuai can still prove himself in the Chinese Super League? Friends are welcome to discuss together in the comment area!
