The fifth round of the Chinese Super League has come to an end, and the national football team has won against Singapore, which also means that they have advanced to second place in the group stage. However, the win did not come without a price, as midfield stalwart Lee Won-il was sent off for a fierce foul, while the team's top scorer Wu Lei will miss the next game against Thailand due to a yellow card accumulation. This made fans start to discuss hotly, who can be qualified for Wu Lei's position?
The first to be mentioned was Wei Shihao, who scored his first goal in Chengdu Rongcheng against Zhejiang in the previous round and also scored against Singapore. His self-confidence and can-do spirit make him a high-profile candidate. Another alternative is Huang Zichang, although he has been away from the national team for a long time due to injury, in this round, he scored 1 goal and 1 assist, and won a valuable point for the Henan team. The young and energetic Huang Zichang also seems to have a lot of potential.
Exxon and Alain were also mentioned, but they don't seem to be in great shape. Ackerson has been in a slump of form lately, with slow movement at his feet, while Alan scored his first goal since joining Qingdao in this round of the game, but he is not young and his form is not stable.
Therefore, in the suggestions of fans, Wei Shihao and Huang Zichang seem to have more potential to replace Wu Lei's position. Wei Shihao's self-confidence and Huang Zichang's vitality may bring new hope to the national football team. Who do you think is more suitable for Wu Lei's position?
