In the 5th round of the Chinese Super League, Chengdu Rongcheng played against Zhejiang at home. Wei Shihao, who started consecutive games, scored his first goal in Chengdu and ushered in the 40-goal milestone of the Chinese Super League.
In the two games against Qingdao Manatee and Cangzhou Lions, Wei Shihao came off the bench, but he didn't get many shots on goal. During the March international break, Wai also came off the bench in two games and scored at home to Singapore.
Back at the club, Wei Shihao came into the starting line-up against Nantong Zhiyun, his first start for Rongcheng, and his long ball in midfield helped Zhou Dingyang score the winning goal. However, after being replaced in advance, Wei Shihao was a little dissatisfied.
In the battle against the Jinmen Tigers, Wei Shihao started again. In the 21st minute, Wei Shihao crossed from the right, and Felipe headed the goal.
This is the first time Wei Shihao has given an assist after joining Chengdu Rongcheng. This is also Wei Shihao's first assist in the Chinese Super League since May 23, 2023. Last season, Wei Shihao made just one assist in 19 appearances in the middle league.
After that, the Jinmen Tigers fan threw water bottles into the stadium and hit Wei Shihao, which angered Wei Shihao, and he was replaced after halftime.
In the battle against the Zhejiang team, Wei Shihao was also closely guarded by the opponent, and rolled on the ground in pain after being shoveled down by Zhang Jiaqi. In the 71st minute of the game, after receiving a cross from his teammates, Wei Shihao, who was unmarked in the middle of the penalty area, jumped high and headed the ball to the top of the goal.
After the header, Wei Shihao scored his first goal for Rongcheng, which was also his first club goal since 29 October 2023. At the same time, this is also Wei Shihao's 40th goal in the Chinese Super League, and he has participated in 57 goals in 129 Super League games, and Wei Shihao has a good efficiency.
For a variety of reasons, Wei Shihao only made 19 appearances in the midfield in the 2023 season, scoring five goals and providing one assist. After scoring 11 goals in 25 games in 2019, Wei Shihao has never scored more than six goals in the next four seasons, and breaking this curse may be a small goal that Wei Shihao has set for himself this season.
