On May 4, Beijing time, the official website of the Guangzhou team once again ushered in an update, in which the list of players and coaching staff has changed, in terms of players, the 9-11 jersey number of the first team has not been chosen, and among the several main players who stayed in the team, except for Wu Shaocong, who chose the No. 5 jersey left by Zhang Linpeng, everyone else continued to wear the jersey number of last season.
Originally, after Zheng Zhi left, the outside world was very curious about who could inherit this number, and from the current results, whether it was the main international or other young players, no one dared to bear this significant jersey for the time being. In addition to Zheng Zhi's No. 10, even Axon's No. 9 and Gaulat's No. 11 were also worn.
As we all know, the owners of the No. 11 jersey were Muric and Gaulat, who won an AFC Champions League trophy for Guangzhou respectively, and their significance in the team was second only to Zheng Zhi's No. 10. When he first joined in 2019, Zhang Xiuwei had passed through the No. 11, but unfortunately, his performance in those two seasons was average, and he was often questioned by fans, and he could not afford to memorize this number, and changed to no. 22 last year.
The jersey number can be inherited, but the captain's armband must be worn by someone. In the recent warm-up match, Wei Shihao has worn the captain's armband to play, among the first-team players, he is the second oldest, second only to the 28-year-old Jiang Guangtai, considering Jiang Guangtai's language communication problems, the captain's armband is worn by Wei Shihao, which should be the most appropriate.
Perhaps many people will question that Wei Shihao's own temper is not very good, can he play a leading role as a captain? It is precisely this kind of personality that does not accept defeat, more suitable for being a captain, compared to other main players, Wei Shihao's experience is indeed the most abundant, he has stayed in the Portuguese Super League, and after returning to China, he has played all three giant teams in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and the national team is a regular, etc., which is full of envy in the eyes of many young players.
More importantly, wearing the captain's armband makes them more responsible, gives young people a good example, controls their temper, and slowly becomes more mature. Of course, Wei Shihao is only one of the captain candidates, plus Wu Shaocong, who is also the captain of the national Olympic team, Wu Wei and Wu Wei may become the main and vice captains and lead the Guangzhou team to the new season.
