Beijing time on June 29 news, according to a number of domestic media reports, the 34-year-old veteran who is currently playing for the Beijing Guoan team will announce his withdrawal from the national team. The reason for the incident is that the official website of the East Asian Cup has posted a poster of Yu Dabao, the best scorer of the East Asian Cup. And hope that the Chinese goalscorer can continue to represent the national football team at the East Asian Cup in July. The East Asian Cup Organizing Committee also greatly appreciates and recognizes the veteran of the national football team.
However, as a veteran of the national football team who has been fighting for many years on behalf of the national football team, Yu Dabao's overtures to the East Asian Cup Organizing Committee do not seem to be too buying. Later, the official website of the East Asian Cup publicly shouted to Yu Dabao: "Looking forward to seeing you again!" But the veteran who has represented the national football team for many years unexpectedly replied in English: "I have participated in four East Asian Cups, and it is time to say goodbye to the national team." ”
Yu Dabao's message can also be regarded as a public announcement of his withdrawal from the national team. After all, as a 34-year-old veteran, after the national football team has lost the Qatar World Cup, after the new World Cup preparation cycle is coming, his career has entered the end of his life, and it is understandable to quit the national team and focus on club competitions.
Born on April 18, 1988, Yu Dabao, aged 34, has played 65 games for the national team and scored 19 goals in his professional career. Yu Dabao played 12 games in the East Asian Cup, scoring 4 goals, and is the player with the most goals scored by the national football team in this competition. Speaking of Yu Dabao, he can be called a blessing in the national football team. He often came off the bench in major competitions to help the national football team score key goals. For example, in 2013, he killed Iraq on the rainy night of Dabao Changsha and helped the national football team qualify for the Asian Cup. For example, on March 23, 2017, the World Cup qualifiers in the Asian round of 12, the national football team played against the South Korean team at home, Yu Dabao's goal helped the national football team win 1-0, won the first victory in the round of 12, and continued the hope of the national football team to advance.
Of course, Yu Dabao's personal statement this time is not an official announcement, nor has it been officially recognized. But his public statement this time is also his true inner thoughts. As a veteran, Yu Dabao was controversial for his protective reception in the Round of 12 at the beginning of the year. Many people think that this former lucky general and hero of the national football team seems to be a little late. But his great contribution to the national team should not be completely denied because of a mistake. As an outsider, we should give this national football hero a fair comment. His contribution to Chinese football should be remembered.
