In the 9th round of the 9th round of the World Preliminary Round of 12 Asian Round of 12, which ended in the early morning of Beijing time, the Chinese men's football team drew 1-1 with Saudi Arabia at the "home" Sharjah Stadium, ending a 2-game losing streak, and the national team continued to rank second from the bottom of the group with 6 points.
The national football team can get 1 point from the strong opponent in the case of being suppressed in the whole field, and the hard work of the whole team is indeed commendable, but there is probably one person except. That is Yu Dabao, who came off the bench, the 33-year-old veteran who caused dissatisfaction among netizens after the game because of the walking and wasting opportunities, and landed on the 6th place in the hot search list of well-known domestic social platforms.
In this game, Yu Dabao came on as a substitute for Guoan teammate Zhang Yuning in the 75th minute and returned to his old bank as a center. But compared with Zhang Yuning's active scrambling, Yu Dabao appeared very Buddhist on the field, walking many times without running so that his teammates did not know how to pass the ball.
In the 78th minute of the game, Dai Weijun, who also came on as a substitute in this game, connected several Saudis after taking the ball in the middle circle, but Yu Dabao, who was closest to him, only "walked" behind him and watched not to step forward, and the national football team also missed a good counterattack opportunity. At that time, the score was 0-1, and Yu Dabao's behavior seemed as if the national football team had already thought that losing 1 goal was completely acceptable. And Yu Dabao just came off the bench, and his physical fitness was completely fine. Not running is really bizarre.
Not only that, at the end of the game, Yu Dabao was still in a scramble, the action was too big and there was a verbal altercation with the Saudi players, and Yu Dabao also received a yellow card. According to the statistics after the game, Yu Dabao only touched the ball 7 times in 14 minutes, 2 times against 0 success, 2 times lost the ball, 2 fouls, the pass success rate was 66.7%, and he ate 1 yellow card. Such data, for him, who is known as the "national football general", is indeed not very good.
Now that Yu Dabao is 33 years old, he will most likely fade out of the national team in the next World Preliminary Tournament. Maybe in the next game against Oman, Li Xiaopeng really considered giving more young players who were willing to run a chance.
