Recently, the first and most important business for the national football team must be the World Preliminary Competition VS Thailand. This is not only a matter of face, but also a matter of competition for qualification, as long as the victory VS Thailand is won, then the national football team will advance to the next round of competition, which is relatively close to the World Cup; If you lose to Thailand, you will fall into the abyss, and the final round of the game against South Korea has little chance, and stopping here will inevitably hit the already bad football environment again.

Therefore, the new coach Ivankovic has been extra cautious in selecting his players, especially in some weak areas. For example, the midfielder in the middle, the striker No. 9 scorer guarantee and so on. In contrast, with the help of Allan and Exon, the goalscorer problem is relatively easy to solve, and the lack of central midfielders is more difficult to solve. It's a bit stretched.

Before that, the young player Dai Weijun, who had high hopes, was defeated, which attracted a lot of attention. After all, in the past, he was praised as the "national football version of Pirlo" and has a bright future. However, after a few seasons, everyone regretted that his promotion speed was too slow, and the difference was too obvious compared to the previous expectations. This is also the fundamental problem that he did not make the squad for this year.

Dai Weijun himself recognized the evaluation of poor development, and he frankly said on social media that if he was the coach, he would not choose those who could not play in local competitions, which was his slightly boring and helpless situation. For Dai Weijun, as the leader of the event in Shanghai Shenhua, he has face, but his contribution is not much. To put it cruelly, the leader of the team has little to do with himself.

Just one start, without any goals or assists, is a testament to that.

In this regard, the evaluation of the outside world is relatively negative. After all, if the desire is too high, it will switch in the opposite direction when it encounters problems, and Dai Weijun's observation of the ball's running route during the game has indeed lost the spirituality of that time. After breaking through a few times with the ball, he hurriedly handed it to his teammates, which is a relatively more option point for him this season, which is not what green fans imagine for him, Pirlo is not how he plays.

For Dai Weijun, age does have an advantage, but the advantage is really not big. If he still spends his time on the bench at the age of 25 or 6, then the opportunities will inevitably become less and less, not only will the national coach lose recognition of him, but the club coach will naturally find it difficult to give him a chance. Slutsky is a very powerful coach, leading the team to Shanghai, and his performance is obvious to all. If he doesn't have a high evaluation of Dai Weijun, he must not have many opportunities.

Greenfield fans must be hoping that Dai Weijun can become the "Chinese version of Pirlo", and solve the problem that the team has been troubled by no one in the middle for a long time. However, the current trend is reversed. If you still want to fulfill your past talent, then Dai Weijun really has to think about the future.
