Unconsciously, Wu Lei, the core of the national football team, is also 32 years old, and has become the oldest player in the current national team, with 89 national team games and 32 national team goals, which are all numbers that are difficult to surpass. To be honest, Wu Lei's ability has indeed declined a lot compared to his peak, but he is still an indispensable part of the entire national football team.
It's a pity that Wu Lei is not 22 years old now, but 32 years old, and it is really hard to say how many years the national team can rely on him, in this case, finding a suitable successor for Wu Lei as soon as possible may become one of the most important goals!
At present, the most likely players to succeed Wu Lei in the same position in China should be Lin Liangming and Wei Shihao, among which Wei Shihao has been given high hopes since his debut, but due to personal temper and other reasons, it was not until he was 28 years old that Wei Shihao began to be gradually recognized by the outside world, and his performance in the national team is getting better and better! But from entering the national team to the present, Wei Shihao has played a total of 24 games for the national football team, but only scored 3 goals, such a goal efficiency is still a bit low, given that he is now 28 years old, it may be a little difficult to surpass Wu Lei in the future.
The second is Lin Liangming, compared to other players, Lin Liangming can be described as "the peak of his debut", he was signed by the Real Madrid team at a young age, but unfortunately, in the end, Lin Liangming did not play, and chose to return to play in the Chinese Super League after a few years in Europe. However, in the first few years after his return, Lin Liangming's performance was actually very average, and it was not until last season that he gradually realized his talent and became the second local scorer of the season. So far, the 26-year-old Lin Liangming has played a total of 5 games on behalf of the national football team and scored 2 goals, and the goal efficiency is to surpass Wei Shihao!
Who do you think is more likely to succeed Wu Lei in the future, 26-year-old Lin Liangming and 28-year-old Wei Shihao?
