I believe that many fans have watched the national football round of 12 and the U23 national team Dubai Cup game, will find that the biggest problem of our national brand is the lack of midfield core. In the round of 12, because there is no midfield core, the ball cannot be pushed forward through the midfield, and finally it is pressed by the opponent at half-time and cannot stretch out its fists and feet. The same problem is with our U23 national team, the midfielder does not have the ability to take the ball and organize, can only push forward through the speed of the wing, and the efficiency of the attack is greatly reduced.
It can be said that solving the problem of the national brand midfield is the most urgent need we are facing at present. But this problem is difficult to solve. One is that our youth training has not imported us with a very talented and talented midfielder, and the other is that our league has not provided enough playing time and space for the local midfielder. Because this position is basically foreign aid, local players are basically on the sidelines. Over time, there have been fewer and fewer local midfielders, and until now there is a serious shortage of talent.
However, since there is no now, we can actually ask "foreign aid" to help, originally when the JinYuan era was still in full swing, the two people were favored by everyone. One is Teixeira of Jiangsu Suning, while the other is Gao Lat of Guangzhou. If the two of them are successfully naturalized, they will certainly be able to solve the problem of the national football midfield. But unfortunately, Teixeira was disbanded because of Suning and caught up with Jin Yuan's retirement, and eventually he left the Chinese Super League and did not have a chance in the national football team. Gaulat is even more sad, because in the 2019 season, he returned to Brazil on loan, which led to his 5 years of remembrance, and he obtained Chinese citizenship but could not play for the national football team. Later, guangzhou suffered financial difficulties, and Gaulat also chose to return to Brazil to play, and eventually he could no longer play for the national football team.
However, these two people are not involved in the national football team, which does not mean that the national football team is completely hopeless. Because in the last two seasons, a brilliant returnee has caught our attention. He is the 22-year-old midfielder Dai Weijun. Born in Hong Kong, Dai Weijun later settled in the UK with his father and grew up under the British youth system. So he plays European football, and the way he plays football is more flexible and imaginative. Before returning to the Chinese Super League, he played for Wolves in the Premier League and had excellent performances in both under-23 and under-21 matches. After coming to the Chinese Super League, he performed well in the Shenzhen team of the Chinese Super League, especially last season, he was one of the few Chinese players who could cooperate with the big foreign aid Officiant Kintro in the midfield. And he can also be like Quintero, take the ball in front of the field, break through, and even rush into the box to score goals without hesitation.
At that time, many fans called on Dai Weijun to enter the national football team. Unfortunately, Dai Weijun at that time did not have the qualifications to play for the national football team. It was not until the end of last year that Dai Weijun completed his membership transfer. As soon as he qualified, li Xiaopeng, the head coach of the national football team, called him to the national team. And in the last 4 round of 12 matches, he was arranged to play. In these 4 games, we have seen the difference of Dai Weijun, seen that he still dares to take the ball forward in the face of strong opponents, and even one person dares to single out the opponent's defense. However, at only 22 years old, he still lacks competition experience and the ability to turn things around with others, and he still needs time to grow.
However, he is still young in the national team, and when he reaches the U23 national team, it is another scene. Dai Weijun, who had just returned to China, was quickly selected for the U23 national team to prepare for the East Asian Cup and the Asian Games. Obviously, the head coach of the U23 national team, Jankovic, also won the treasure after getting Dai Weijun, because his arrival is likely to solve the problem of the lack of midfield in the team. In the warm-up match that ended earlier, Dai Weijun also made his debut for the U23 national team. The U23 national team's opponent is Changchun Yatai, the fourth place in the Chinese Super League, in this game, Dai Weijun made his debut and helped the team to open the record in the first half to take a 1-0 lead. In the end, the U23 national football team won the opponent 2-0.
It can be seen that after joining Dai Weijun, the attack of the U23 national football team is obviously sharper and more diverse than before. This is actually ability, and now Dai Weijun already has a bit of a taste of a star. And according to reporter Wang Weizai, Dai Weijun's case with the Shenzhen team has been tried, facing arbitration in the next few days, once he gets his free body, he also has the possibility of playing abroad. This has made many fans see hope. Because it can be clearly seen that Dai Weijun has the potential to support the national football midfield, but if he has been playing in the poor level of the Chinese Super League, it is inevitable that the progress will slow down. If he can return to Europe, maybe he can really become the future national football quintro!
What do you think about that? What do you think Ofi is capable of, and if he returns to Europe to exercise, which team should he go to? Friends are welcome to discuss together in the comment area!
