Between the national football team and the goal, there is only one Wei Shihao missing?

In the group stage of the Asian Cup, the national football team won two draws in a row, and the qualifying situation is not optimistic. To make matters worse, the national football team failed to score in both games.

Playing two 0-0 games in a row is neither affordable nor exciting. How difficult is it for the national football team to score a goal?

This question is both complex and simple.

To put it more complicated, 10,000 people can come up with 10,000 reasons to explain why the national football team can't score goals.

To put it simply, between the national football team and the goal, there may be a difference between Wei Shihao.

This should never have happened before in Wai's football career – fans across the country are looking forward to him playing.

In the first round of the Asian Cup, when the list of the national football team against Tajikistan was released, the Chinese fans who were already worried became even more panicked, because Wei Shihao was not on the list.

The subsequent game proved that the fans' fears were right. lost Wei Shihao's national football team, and basically lost the ability to break through and propulsion.

The national football team's offense mainly relies on big feet, and the defenders look for forwards directly in the backfield, and there is almost no connection in the midfield.

The best scoring opportunity in the first game was created from a corner, and the attacking ability of the sports battle was unbearable.

In the second round against Lebanon, the performance of the national football team improved.

Zhang Yuning played well in the front line, Xu Xin played a role in the midfield, Dai Weijun was very hard, and Zhang Linpeng was very positive. But in the end, he couldn't get on the scoresheet.

In the final analysis, it is because the national football team has too few offensive means, and the threatening attack basically comes from set-pieces in the front court.

Some fans feel that Wu Lei's role on the field is very small, and the coach should not let him start again.

Regarding this, Sun Jihai, who commented the game, said: "I'm not speaking for him, but (teammates) don't support him enough. ”

Even Sun Jihai said that Wu Lei did not get enough support, so among the current national football players, who can give Wu Lei enough support?

The answer is Wei Shihao, Wu Lei himself said this before-

"Like Japan's Kubo Kenei and South Korea's Lee Gang-in, if you don't go to help defend, one-on-one will definitely be clean, and after one person passes, the ball will be easy to kick. Our Chinese team lacks this, and now Wei Shihao has this ability. ”

Wu Lei has a high opinion of Wei Shihao, and Wei Shihao can indeed provide support to Wu Lei on the field.

In the World Preliminary Round in November last year, the national football team defeated Thailand 2-1 away.

It was the tacit connection between Wei Shihao and Wu Lei that scored the equalizing goal for the national football team.

Think about it carefully, has Wu Lei never gotten such a reasonable and simple scoring opportunity in the group stage of the Asian Cup?

The so-called "empty goal" against Lebanon was actually an unexpected opportunity caused by the opponent's goalkeeper getting out of his hands.

Like Wei Shihao, who uses his personal ability to tear through the opponent's defense and create obvious scoring opportunities, the last two games are too rare to see.

And this kind of performance is Wei Shihao's routine operation.

On October 16 last year, Wei Shihao scored 1 goal in the friendly match of the national football team's 1-2 defeat to Uzbekistan, and staged a 1V3 high-end operation.

On October 24 last year, Wei Shihao scored another brilliant dribble and scored a crucial goal in Wuhan Three Towns' 2-1 win over Hanoi in Vietnam.

Although the current problem of the national football team is definitely not as simple as the lack of Wei Shihao.

But it is conceivable that if Wei Shihao was in the first two games, even if he only completed one operation like the one shown in the picture above, the national football team would not have played two 0-0 games in a row.

Ten years ago, Wei Shihao showed amazing talent at the U19 Asian Youth Championships.

In the match against the Japanese national youth, Wei Shihao scored two goals and helped the Chinese team win 2-1.

It is worth mentioning that the person who scored for the Japanese team at that time was Takumi Minamino.

Many years later, the two reunited in the World Preliminaries. The winning side became the Japanese team, and Takumi Minamino's "coffee position" was also much higher than Wei Shihao.

But when the two clashed, Wei Shihao was not false at all in terms of momentum.

Although we do not encourage players to clash with each other on the field, Wei Shihao's confidence and bloodiness are indeed very much needed by the national football team.

In the ongoing Asian Cup, Wei Shihao and Takumi Minamino originally had a chance to meet again.

Takumi Minamino scored twice in the first round and is expected to challenge for the championship with the Japanese team. Wei Shihao has not been able to play for a long time, and it is unknown whether he will have a chance to play after that.

Wei Shihao used to be a "bad boy", and his famous scenes in the past included crisp passes and goals, as well as inexplicable own goals, as well as hot-headed serious fouls.

Later, he gradually matured in the Guangzhou team. When Wu Lei stayed in La Liga, Wei Shihao became the "local first brother" of the Chinese Super League.

Later, he became the most relied on offensive initiator of the Chinese men's national football team.

Unfortunately, when the national football team was competing in this Asian Cup, Wei Shihao was injured.

His absence from the national football team due to injury is a loss for the national football team and his own regret.

In the game against Lebanon, captain Wu Xi has returned from injury, but Wei Shihao continues to be absent, and the comeback time has not yet been determined.

Wei Shihao's groin injury threatens to see him miss the entire group stage.

If he can't catch up with the third group stage, even if he returns from injury, will the national football team still have a chance to play in the following games?
