In the past few years, the replacement of old and new has always been a huge problem faced by China's national football team, although there have been attempts to rejuvenate, but the effect is not ideal. This time, the rejuvenation of China's national football team is expected to achieve a substantial breakthrough, according to the latest news, the national football coach Li Xiaopeng in the training of 22-year-old rising star Dai Weijun entrusted a heavy responsibility, according to the current situation, Dai Weijun has almost locked in a first place during the round of 12.
According to football journalist Jasmine, during the training camp of the national football team In Haikou, the 22-year-old Dai Weijun won all the starting opportunities in the three warm-up matches, and has played the role of forward and right winger. Considering the practical significance of the pre-match warm-up, it is obvious that Dai Weijun has become a very important "chess piece" under Li Xiaopeng. The constant change of the player's position also shows Li Xiaopeng's recognition of its multi-faceted and tactical value.
Considering that this time the Chinese national football team went to West Asia, the core player wu Lei in the front court did not get the call of Li Xiaopeng, so it is clear that Dai Weijun has become the number one "stand-in" of Wu Lei hand-picked by Li Xiaopeng. In terms of position, if Li Xiaopeng follows the previous formation of the national football team against Vietnam, then Dai Weijun, who can play both the front and the winger, will definitely take over the role of Wu Lei.
In recent years, although the national football team has occasionally emerged as a newcomer, it is still dominated by a class of veterans who are close to the end of their careers, which is also one of the most criticized aspects of the team. And this time, in the absence of performance pressure, Li Xiaopeng can let newcomers like Dai Weijun get enough opportunities, which is undoubtedly a precautionary move.
Whether it is from the current needs or for next year's Asian Cup considerations, the national football team must make enough new and old replacements. By next year, the veterans will be another year older and will no longer be the focus of the team. On the whole, Li Xiaopeng's support for Dai Weijun's "ascension" should be just the beginning, and there will be more newcomers in the official competition of the World Preliminary Round to get the opportunity to play.
