The national football team kicks bloody: Wei Shihao is right, Wu Lei is desperate, and Jiang Shenglong has a bright future
On November 16, Beijing time, the Chinese national football team ushered in the first game of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, playing away against group rival Thailand. In the end, the national football team won this crucial victory with a 2-1 reversal away from home with the goals of Wu Lei and Wang Shangyuan after conceding a goal first. In this game, in the face of the unfavorable situation on the field, the national football players did not give up, but united to win the opponent, which also let us see the long-lost blood of this team.
Due to the poor form of the national football team in recent times, the outside world is not very optimistic about the results of the national football team when facing Thailand away from home. Indeed, the national football team suffered a serious threat from the home team from the beginning of the game, and in the 23rd minute of the first half, the goal was lost and the opponent took the lead.
At a critical time, Wei Shihao stood up. At the beginning of the game, Wei Shihao did not play well under the opponent's marking, but when the team fell behind, Wei Shihao seemed to suddenly open his mind, and frequently used his personal ability to attack the opponent's right defense area. In the 29th minute, Wei Shihao took advantage of the opponent's unstable foothold, found an opportunity with a beautiful continuous breakthrough, and then passed a wonderful cross to Wu Lei, which finally helped Wu Lei equalize the score. At this time, it was less than 7 minutes before Thailand scored.
It can be said that this game is a battle for Wei Shihao's name. In addition to assisting Wu Lei to score, Wei Shihao can create a threat to the Thai backline as long as he has the ball on the field. After completing the assist, Wei Shihao also had a straight rib plug to help Wu Lei get a great one-on-one opportunity, but unfortunately the latter knocked the ball away. But in any case, with such a performance, Wei Shihao can temporarily get out of the "red card controversy" not long ago, although he occasionally loses his temper, but it is obvious that the national football team cannot do without him.
In addition to Wu Lei's equalizer for the national football team, the most impressive picture in this game is his courage to score goals and hit the goal without hesitation. In the 29th minute, when Wu Lei received Wei Shihao's cross, he almost "flung his entire body" to the goal before completing the goal. For this goal, Wu Lei's body hit the goalpost solidly, and he didn't even have time to celebrate after the goal, and he fell to the ground for a long time, which shows how painful it was. This is also a microcosm of the national football team: in order to win, everyone really fights.
If Wu Lei and Wei Shihao, two veterans of the national football team, teamed up to stage a good reversal of Thailand, it is expected, then the performance of national football recruit Jiang Shenglong is even more gratifying. In this game, Jiang Shenglong almost became the busiest person in the national football team's backline, his excellent air superiority helped the team firmly grasp the penalty area, and contributed key clearances many times, allowing the Thai team to return in vain. Jiang Shenglong's mature performance, it is difficult to make people think that this is just his debut in the adult national football team, and in time, his future will be limitless.
