The level and performance of Chinese men's football have been criticized by the Chinese people, and there has been a gradual decline in the past decade. Looking back on the past years of the national football team, it can be said that it has been defeated and unsatisfactory, and the only tradition or characteristic in the editor's opinion is the speed of the front. In the history of Chinese football, there have been many players who have been labeled as "fast horses", and they are known for their speed, and they can even be compared to the world in terms of this value alone.
Today, I will take a look at the most successful fast horse players in Chinese football. This time, speed and career achievements are used as the judging criteria, as for who runs the fastest, the 100-meter results cannot be corroborated, and these are not used as references. In no particular order, don't spray if you don't like it.
Yang Yumin
Yang Yumin, who was selected for the national team in 1977, began to be accompanied by his name. It is said that he has a speed of 11 seconds in the 100 meters, and represented the national football team in the 1981 World Preliminary Championships and the 1982 Asian Cup.
Gu Guangming
Gu Guangming, who was selected for the national team at the age of 19 and nicknamed "Loach", is not only fast and delicate, but also flexible in his feet, and is the best winger in the history of the national football team. He was the main striker of the national team in the 1982 and 1986 World Preliminary Championships, and he was one of the first players to make his debut in Europe, playing for many years in the Bundesliga.
Li Huayun
Li Huayun, nicknamed "Seal", shined at the World Youth Championships in 1983 at the age of 20, when he was tied with the Dutch Three Musketeers Van Basten and the famous Brazilian star Romario as the "world's six hopeful stars". It is rumored that the speed of 100 meters can reach 11 seconds. Represented the national football team in the 1984 Asian Cup, and scored the winning goal in the semi-finals, helping the Chinese team to the runner-up. It is a pity that due to injury, he had to choose to retire at the golden age of 25.
Li Xiao
Li Xiao, a striker known for his speed, represented the national football team in the 1992 Asian Cup and scored 1 goal, and scored 4 goals in the 1994 Asian Games to become the team's top scorer. Later in his career, he switched to full-back in Shanghai Pudong at that time, and also had a good performance.
Xie Feng
Xie Feng was also a fast horse in the front line at first, but it was the full-back position that really made him shine. His speed is different from other players, he runs faster on the way, that is, he runs faster and faster. Represented the national team in the 1997 Top 10 tournament and performed very well in both matches against the West Asian powerhouse Saudi Arabia. In the A-A field, there was also a wonderful performance of running 50 meters with the ball and scoring a goal.
peak
Gao Feng, nicknamed "The Prodigal Son", is the most characteristic and spiritual player in Chinese football, with fast start-up speed, flexible movements, and strong breakthrough ability. He represented the national team in the 1994 Asian Games, the 1996 Asian Cup, and the 1997 Top 10 Tournament, and scored goals. The highlight came in the last 10 away at Kuwait.
Yao Xia
Yao Xia, nicknamed "Cheetah", is known for his speed and aggressive movement on the field, and was selected for Schlapner's national team before the age of 20, and can play as a striker, midfielder, wing-back and other positions. He represented the national team in the 1997 Top 10 Tournament and the 1998 Asian Games.
Li Yi
Li Yi, compared to several of his predecessors, he is not too outstanding in absolute speed, but he has better physical fitness and stronger running ability, and the weakness is in the handling of the last kick. Represented the national football team in the 2004 Asian Cup, the 2006 World Cup Asian preliminaries, and won the top scorer in the Chinese Super League.
Qubo
Qu Bo, nicknamed "The Boy Who Chased the Wind", became famous at the 2001 World Youth Championships, scoring all two goals for the national youth team in that tournament and helping the national youth team reach the round of 16. He was selected for the national football team to participate in the top 10 matches in 2001, and then appeared in the 2002 World Cup, representing the national team for 12 years and performing well.
Dong Fangzhuo
Dong Fangzhuo, who was favored by Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson at the age of 19, joined Manchester United in the Premier League for a record Chinese player of 3.5 million pounds, and was the first Chinese player to join a European giant. Not only is he fast, but he also has the physicality to be inferior to European players, and he has also forced overtaking against European teams on several occasions. Scoring a goal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics is the only goal scored by the Chinese men's football team in the World Series so far. It's a pity that his career has been high and low, and he has not been able to realize his talent and achieve higher achievements due to injuries and other reasons.
There are countless fast horses in the history of Chinese football, such as Zhuang Yi, Hu Yunfeng, Wei Yimin, etc., but the achievements in his career are relatively bleak, like Yang Chen also has a good speed but is not completely good at speed, and Fan Zhiyi is also known for his speed and explosiveness, but he is the leader of the defense. The 10 fast horses listed by the editor this time are all players who have distinctive characteristics on the court, can always make good use of the speed advantage, and have achieved good results on behalf of national teams and clubs.
