It has been several days since the Dubai Cup match, with China U23 losing 0-1 to the UAE in the first round, Thailand U23 4-2 in the second round, and finally losing 0-3 to the UAE in the third and fourth place finals to finish fourth in the Dubai Cup. Speaking of the performance of the Chinese football U23 in this event, if there is no short-lived appearance of Chinese U23 young player Fang Hao, I am afraid that this U23 trip will be a scolding. However, this year's Dubai Cup event, China's U23 still has gains, the biggest gain is Fang Hao, because he achieved the "big four joys" in the 4-2 victory over Thailand's U23, with these four goals, he won the Golden Boot award of this event.
The above photo is currently returned to China, Fang Hao showed on the social platform, if he does not show, it is estimated that domestic fans and media have forgotten about this matter. After Fang Hao won this award, he also created a miracle. He became the first Chinese player to win the Golden Boot in one game. This record is certainly "unprecedented", and it is estimated that there will be "no one after" for a long time to come.
Fang Hao, as a player produced by Luneng Youth Training, also has experience in the West. However, after going out on loan, especially last season, he made 18 appearances in Wuhan, including 11 starts, achieved an assist, and 3 yellow cards, and the performance was not eye-catching. In this Dubai Cup match against Thailand, Fang Hao can be described as a blockbuster, almost overnight let fans all over China know him. Under the premise that Chinese football has sunk to the bottom, the emergence of Fang Hao can be described as "a clear stream".
However, from his performance last season, Fang Hao's height of 1 meter 77 makes his speed OK, and his weight of 79 kg also determines that he has good strength. But there really isn't much to offer in terms of shots, passes, ribs and defensive performance. It is also for this reason that Fang Hao has achieved nothing in the two matches against the United Arab Emirates. From this point of view, Fang Hao still needs a lot of experience.
It is almost certain that because of the U23 battle against Thailand, Fang Hao has largely become the "masterpiece" and "brand promoter" of Luneng Youth Training, and some fans have called it the "treasure of Zhenshan" of the future Taishan team. Therefore, next season, Shandong Taishan team will definitely not rent Fang Hao, but will make great efforts to cultivate him. Guo Tianyu, Chen Pu, Xie Wenneng and Tian Xin are four forwards, the oldest is only 25 years old, so Fang Hao will also face a lot of pressure in the Taishan squad next season. It should be said that there will not be too many opportunities to play in a short period of time. However, Heaven has already given him a chance, and whether he can become a "dragon" depends on whether he has worked hard subjectively.
