The news about the Chinese men's football team, before it was either the "sea cucumber incident" or the "Gong Hanlin commentary on the national football team" bubble drama, the positive good news is really pitiful. U23 national football striker Fang Hao's "big four joys" have become rare positive news, but it also reflects the harsh public opinion field that Chinese football is now facing. But Fang Hao was once defined by the media as the "worst striker" in the Chinese Super League last year, and not many people gave him a real encouragement and tolerance evaluation.
Fang Hao's football potential was indeed once optimistic about the industry, he is physically strong, fast, and has very distinctive characteristics. He also had very good prospects during his stay in Brazil, but it is well known that he returned to China in the summer of 2020, returned to Shandong Luneng and was sent to the Chinese League One. But even the best football seedlings need time to polish, and so does Fang Hao. In the era when national football frequently uses naturalized players as "killer tools" to improve the ability of the front, many young players have not yet had the opportunity to play in the national team, such as Guo Tianyu and other excellent strikers.
In last season's Chinese Super League, Fang Hao was the player with the most 0 shots in the Chinese Super League, and completed 11 shots in 18 times without hitting, which is considered by some to be the "worst striker in the Chinese Super League". Some fans have commented that he is a "brainless striker" and "only knows how to rush forward", believing that his ball quotient is too low. Last season, his only goal was invalidated because of the offside of his teammates, wasting a passion to imitate Ronaldo's celebratory action after scoring. Of course, growth comes at a cost, he plays as a substitute, and he does not get much support from his teammates, and his performance in the debut season of the Chinese Super League is still remarkable.
In fact, not everyone can be like Dong Fangzhuo's "debut is the peak", many young players have the youth of debuting on the professional field. But after yesterday's Dubai Cup, Fang Hao, who completed the senior year, was praised by many people. The nature of the Dubai Cup is a warm-up match, a training match for the echelon talents of national teams in various countries. Fang Hao's performance in this game is indeed excellent, but we must also look at it objectively and calmly. When a player performs well, he should be praised for his "merits" by "slowing down and half a beat", and when the player performs poorly, especially young players, he should be encouraged.
After the game, Fang Hao himself still analyzed his performance quite calmly. First of all, he thinks that he can score 4 goals and indeed has an element of good luck, and the other is the strict requirements of coach Jankovic, even after scoring a hat-trick in the first half, he still requires that he cannot relax and must go all out. Finally, Fang Hao also believes that there are too many problems with the Thai U23 defenders, which is why he scores frequently. Judging from the "review" situation after the game, the media should make efforts in objective evaluation, rather than excessive "praise". If you don't kick well, you will spray wildly, and if you kick well, you will blow randomly, and this rhythm should also change. Fang Hao's future development still needs more games to experience, and we should have enough patience and confidence for the good seedlings of the national football team. Changes in the public opinion environment are also very important for the growth of players.
