Today we are going to talk about the football career of former international Yu Hai, a talented player who has left us with countless unforgettable moments. Let's start with his retired jersey. The jersey posted by Yu Hai on his personal social platform, with the eye-catching "21" number on his chest, is not only his code name for the national team, but also depicts his glorious history of playing 71 games for the national team and scoring 11 goals. The big "21" number behind it and the pinyin abbreviation of the name are a retrospective and tribute to the style of the sea court.
On January 8, Shanghai Port Football Club announced Yu Hai's retirement and he became an assistant coach of Shanghai Port U21. This is a continuation of the wisdom of the sea football, and his experience will undoubtedly be of great help to young players.
Next, we take a look at the achievements of the Shanghai Port U21 team. In the 2023 season, the young team reached the final of the U21 League, and although they failed to win the championship, they showed tenacious fighting spirit and skill to successfully qualify for the second league. In the 2024 season, Shanghai Port will send two teams to participate in the men's football league, which is undoubtedly a huge challenge for the club, but it is also a historic opportunity.
Let's talk about Yu Hai's background. He was born in Luoyang, Henan Province, and is a football all-rounder. At the age of 17, he made his debut in the Chinese Super League at Shanghai International, and at the age of 20, he went to the Netherlands to join Vitesse in the Eredivisie. His football career has been enriched by different teams, joining Shaanxi Chanba (later Guizhou Renhe) in 2009 and Shanghai Port (Shanghai SIPG) in 2015.
Speaking of his national team career, Yu Hai has been a regular on the national team since 2009. He helped China beat Saudi Arabia in the first round of the group stage of the 2015 Asian Cup in Australia, a match that was one of the highlights of his international career. As for the end of his career, Yu Hai won the championship with his teammates in the 2023 Chinese Super League, which marked a perfect end to his career.
Finally, regarding Yu Hai's retirement, some might say that it is a big loss on the football field. But as Yu Hai's jersey shows, his football career has been varied, leaving an indelible mark on and off the pitch. His story teaches us that no matter what the field, continuous effort and continuous learning Xi are essential.
Finally, I would like to ask you what your impression of Hai's performance in the national team, and what impact do you think he can have on young players as an assistant coach after his retirement?
