Who is the third brother? Second brother and his brother! But I don't know who big brother is.
Recently, I suddenly heard that there is a third brother in Chinese football, which is quite a nickname of the nature of the underworld, and is actually one of the most low-profile players in the Chinese team, Arthur Junmin.
Since Zhang Xizhe put on the No. 10 jersey to play the main force, the three brothers and three brothers on the screen suddenly made people feel that there was a savior who did not wear foreign skins in Chinese football, that is, the third brother.
| who is stronger, Zhang Xizhe and Arthur Junmin, has always been quite controversial
In fact, for Arthur Junmin, Beijing's home stadium "ID: bjzhuchang" is more appreciated, and the balls and characters are good.
Of course, most of the people who chant Arthur Junmin are also Luneng fans, which is actually understandable, who doesn't think their children are good.
In fact, among the Shandong fans known at the Beijing home stadium "ID: bjzhuchang", there are few critics of Zhang Xizhe, and the rational Shandong fans actually know very well in their hearts that even if Arthur Junmin is good, even if they support Arthur Junmin, but after all, the age is not spared, Zhang Xizhe is now the midfield organizer of the national football team, there is no problem.
Obviously, those who chanted the three brothers and three brothers, and then criticized and even insulted Zhang Xizhe, were also the scum in the Luneng fans, and this kind of scum was the same in the Guoan fans.
Of course, we don't have to fight with scum, but if we really want to say that Zhang Xizhe and Arthur Junmin are strong and weak, they can't have any subjective color, or at least we have to be as objective as possible to express the advantages and disadvantages of the last two technical midfielders in Chinese football.
| Zhang Xizhe and Arthur Junmin are the last two technical midfielders in China
To say that Arthur Junmin and Zhang Xizhe are the last two technical midfielders in Chinese football is not alarmist at all, and to rank Arthur Junmin ahead of Zhang Xizhe is not because he must be stronger than Zhang Xizhe, but because he is older than Zhang Xizhe.
Arthur Junmin was born in 1987, zhang Xizhe was born in 1991, the former is 34 years old, the latter is 30 years old, and the difference between the two people is 4 years old.
Interestingly, both people are actually Hubei players, and both people are also staying in the Bundesliga. In addition, the two people don't really have much intersection.

Zhang Played for Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga
Arthur Junmin started his career at Tianjin Teda, but Arthur Junmin was not the midfield organizer at first, he was actually a winger, mainly playing right-sided forward. In 2004, he entered the first team of Tianjin Teda, and later he gradually played the main force, and was recruited into the national youth team in the 85-86 age group.
This is actually enough to show that Arthur Junmin is the best in the 87-88 national youth team.
In 2009, the 22-year-old Arthur Junmin left Tianjin Teda and chose to stay in Yangshark 04. At that time, Schalke 04 was a bundesliga team, Arthur Junmin could not play in the team, head coach Magat transformed him into a right-back, even so, he still could not play the main force, in Schalke only 7 starts in a year and a half, the average playing time is a little more than 45 minutes per game.
In 2011, Arthur Junmin returned to China to join Shandong Luneng and has been playing for him ever since. Later, the position began to move to the middle, from right forward to center forward, all the way to today.
Zhang Xizhe's football path is actually a bit similar to Arthur Junmin. It's just that his achievements in the Chinese Super League are higher than those of Arthur Junmin. In 2009, Zhang Xizhe entered the first team of Guoan and had a record of appearances. In 2010, the 19-year-old Zhang Xizhe made his first start in a match against Henan Jianye, shocking the world. In the next two years, Zhang Xizhe served as a forward in Guoan, but because Pacheco played 433, the team actually did not have a typical forward position, and Zhang Xizhe played more as a substitute for Park Cheng, and the performance could only be said to be average.

In 2013, Zhang Xizhe ushered in a big explosion, and he scored goals and assists in the league "double-double" data, a statistic that no Chinese player can break so far. In 2014, Zhang Xizhe went further, although the number of goals was reduced, but the assists continued to be efficient, and he forced Conca to win the assist king of the Chinese Super League.
Subsequently, Zhang Xizhe began to stay in Yangyang, and the team he went to was stronger than the original Arthur Junmin Schalke 04, which was the Bundesliga champion Wolfsburg the previous year. As a result, Zhang Xizhe was even worse than Arthur Junmin, and he did not play any official game for half a year, and then he returned to China.
After Zhang Xizhe returned to China, he was catching up with Guoan to replace the old and new, and in 2016 and 2017, Guoan as a whole did not play well, and Zhang Xizhe was also affected. In particular, he was banned from playing many games after slapping Chen Lei, which directly affected his career.

After Zhang Xizhe's comeback in 2018, Guoan introduced Vieira's partner Augusto, and Zhang Xizhe's position began to gradually move back, from the front back to the center forward, until today.
From the resumes of the two people, it can actually be seen that Arthur Junmin and Zhang Xizhe both stayed in the YangdeSliga, and overall, both of them failed and ended. But Arthur Junmin also played a few games, and Zhang Xizhe did not play one.
The reason is, first of all, that Schalke 04's strength is slightly worse than Zhang Xizheliuyang's Wolf Castle, which had just won the championship and was also one of the contenders for the Bundesliga championship in those years. The strength of Schalke, played by Arthur Junmin, is also in the upper reaches of the Bundesliga, but it is still slightly worse than the Wolfsburg played by Zhang Xizhe.
More importantly, the two people are in different positions. Zhang Xizhe went to Wolfsburg to stay in Yangyang, he can play only three positions: forward, left forward, right forward, and these three positions are in the attack line, the competitors of these three positions are De Bruyne, Perisic and Xuler, the substitutes are Caligiuri and Virginia, what is the level of these five people, people who watch less can go to check.
In contrast, Arthur Junmin's competition is smaller. In particular, Ha Joon Min can play at right-back, which gives him a lot more opportunities to play. Of course, even so, he did not compete with the Japanese player Tatsuto Uchida, who is also a right-back.

It is also interesting to note that after Arthur Junmin and Zhang Xizhe returned to China, their positions changed. Arthur Junmin changed from right forward to center forward, and Zhang Xizhe changed from front back to center forward.
But the two people's positions change for different reasons. One reason is that he is getting older and the explosive power he used to be famous for has declined, and on the other hand, Luneng's midfielder does not have too good technical players, and Arthur Junmin has reached the middle of the road and becomes the team's metronome.
And Zhang Xizhe to play in the center of the defender is a helpless move. Zhang Xizhe's initial position retreat was during the Jose period, when Jose wanted to liberate Augusto, so he put the Brazilian midfield to the front waist position, but the midfield was less than an organizer, so Zhang Xizhe retreated. Later, Jose was out of class. Guoan had Augusto and introduced Vieira, squeezed by the two major foreign aides, Zhang Xizhe began to retreat in order to have more living space, from the front back and full-back to the center forward.
As a result, Arthur Junmin and Zhang Xizhe began to appear in the same position.
In fact, from the experience of the above two people, it can be seen that although the two people are currently playing in similar positions, their characteristics are not the same.
Arthur Junmin is a winger, and his advantages are mainly two points, the first is the ability to combine people and balls, and the second is the ability to cross. Arthur Junmin's speed is not fast, but the feeling of combining the ball is particularly good, with a certain breakthrough ability, and a more accurate side cross.
In addition, Arthur Junmin also has two advantages, one is that his set-piece direct attack ability is relatively good, the arc and speed of the set-piece are better, and the other is that his physical confrontation ability is good, which has a lot to do with his playing full-back in the Bundesliga.
Zhang Xizhe himself is from the front waist, and in terms of confrontation, he is not as good as Arthur Junmin, who can play as a defender, but his advantage lies in his ability to pass the threat ball and the awareness and footwork of the midfielder to receive, comb and transfer.
In the years when Zhang Xizhe played at the front and full-back, his passing threat data has always ranked in the top three in the league, and he has a stronger sense of running and attacking in the front court, and there are many goals, 4 goals in 2012, 11 in 2013, 6 in 2014, and 6 in 2016. Later, with the arrival of Augusto and Vieira, his goals and assists began to decline, but his ability to plan attacks improved significantly, and in recent years, Zhang Xizhe has transformed into Guoan's "second set-setter", that is, the penultimate second-foot pass before the goal, which can have five or six "second passes" every year.
On the contrary, Arthur Junmin has more assists in these two years than when he was younger, which is related to his position and playing style in Luneng, although Luneng's midfield has foreign aid Fellaini or Moises, these two are actually not purely technical offensive midfielders, and the person who threatens the ball or creates a threat in the Luneng midfield is actually Arthur Junmin. However, in the Chinese Super League, Arthur Junmin has never scored more than 2 goals in a single season, which is also a more embarrassing scene.
As for the set-piece penalty, the direct free kick is indeed the strength of Arthur Junmin, he has scored a lot of direct free kicks, although his direct free kick footwork is much worse than the national team's predecessors Cao Zhidong, Peng Weiguo, Gao Zhongxun and others, but it is still stronger than Zhang Xizhe, Zhang Xizhe in the career of the Guoan team, only after 1 direct free kick.
In the main penalty of the corner, in fact, the two people's footwork is similar. Arthur Junmin is better at crosses, his corner is more curved, and Zhang Xizhe's corner ball is faster and rotates better. However, due to the different ways of playing, in the league, Arthur Joon-min has more assists in corners than Zhang Xizhe. After all, there are good header players such as Pele, Fellaini, Guo Tianyu, Gill, and Dai Lin in the Luneng team, while The Guoan side of Bakambu, Yu Dabao, Yu Yang... The players who are shorter than Luneng are half a head shorter.
Therefore, on the whole, the two people play differently in the same position, and they also have their own advantages and disadvantages.
In terms of threat to the goal and footwork of the shot, Zhang Xizhe is obviously stronger than Arthur Junmin, which is evidenced by the number of goals scored over the years. After all, Zhang Xizhe is from the front waist, Arthur Junmin is from the side, and Zhang Xizhe's shot is better.
In terms of passing threatening balls, Zhang Xizhe is better at it, especially good at sending straight balls and balls behind him. In terms of crossover, Arthur Joon-min is even better at it.
In terms of dribbling rid of the ball, the combination of Arthur Junmin is relatively better, after all, he is a wing player and has a certain ability to break through. Zhang Xizhe, on the other hand, is relatively more concise.
In terms of organizing the attack, Zhang Xizhe is better at passing vision and receiving awareness, which is also related to his playing front waist.
On the defensive end, because Arthur Junmin played full-back, his defensive hardness was better than Zhang Xizhe.'s But Arthur Junmin is a winger after all, and his defensive position in the center forward position is general. Zhang Xizhe's body is not as strong as Arthur Junmin, and when defending, he relies more on consciousness and position to go to the card position.
Another point is mentality. In fact, Zhang Xizhe and Arthur Junmin are relatively taciturn people, and some people think that Zhang Xizhe cannot take the key battle. But many people may forget that in the Asian Cup qualifiers of the national football team that year, facing the brink of elimination, it was Zhang Xizhe who resisted the pressure to score a penalty and send the Chinese team to the final round of the 2014 Asian Cup. In Guoan, Zhang Xizhe was 19 years old. With neither Vieira nor Augusto present, he took Guoan out of a losing streak for the second time. Therefore, in fact, Zhang Xizhe looks stuffy on the surface, but he is actually a big heart player. On the contrary, It is Arthur Junmin, who was out of the national team because of a mistake in handling the ball, and was once beaten into the cold palace by Lippi, and has not been used again for a long time.
Of course, the mentality of Chinese players, no one is much better than anyone.
Therefore, it should be said that whether it is offensive or defensive, in fact, the two people have slight differences in characteristics, and they also have some advantages and disadvantages. The best Arthur Junmin is actually a right-wing, and the best Zhang Xizhe is actually a front waist, but both of them are not in their best state for various reasons.
As for why Li Tie used Zhang Xizhe instead of Arthur Junmin, the reason is actually obvious. The main reason is age.
Zhang Xizhe is 30 years old after all, while Arthur Junmin is 34 years old. The national team's round of 12 starts in the second half of this year, and there are still half of the matches next year, and it is indeed difficult for the 35-year-old Ton Min to be entrusted with heavy responsibilities. Zhang Xizhe is the final period of his career peak, and if he does not use it, China's last technical midfielder will be old.
In addition, there is also a point that Wu Lei is the only hope for the Chinese team at present. At present, the person in the Chinese team who can form the best reaction with Wu Lei is Zhang Xizhe, not Arthur Junmin. Zhang Xizhe and Wu Lei are both teammates of the 91 national youth team, and the two are considered "gemini stars" from the national youth team. In the national team in previous years, Zhang Xizhe also passed a lot of good goals to Wu Lei. The two of them are able to kick out some tacit understanding.
| Zhang Xizhe and Wu Lei were considered twin stars of Chinese football when they were in the national youth team
Another point is that the midfield combination of the Chinese team's Top 40 is Zhang Xizhe and Wu Xi, and the other is Jin Jingdao. However, in the round of 12, it is likely that Li Ke or Chi Zhongguo will be used as a defensive back. After all, Li Ke and Chi Zhongguo's defensive ability is stronger than Jin Jingdao's. In this case, Zhang Xizhe, who is also from Guoan, has a more tacit understanding of cooperation with his teammates.
Moreover, as I said just now, in terms of organizing the attack, Zhang Xizhe has an advantage over Arthur Junmin, especially the transfer of horizontal and oblique passes, which is very important in the 433 system. The national team now needs a "second set-setter" instead of a better cross-cut art. Because, with the head ability of these centers and defenders of the national team, Beckham came and did not guarantee that he would have a header to score.
In fact, as a team no. 10, the pressure is certain. After all, the number 10 has always been considered the number at the core of the team. However, the development of modern football has long begun to weaken the position of the core, and many teams have no. 8 no. 6 or even no. 5 is the core of the midfield.
Moreover, as far as Chinese football is concerned, whether it is "Nan Peng BeiCao" or zhang Xizhe and Arthur Junmin now, in fact, they are the least important in the tactical system of the Chinese team. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why Peng Weiguo and Cao Zhidong have not been able to stand firm in the national team, but Ma Mingyu and Li Ming are the main forces of the national team.
The person who deserves the no. 10 shirt on Chinese football is probably the Same Rong Zhixing, who was born on a British freighter. All the players after that, one counts one, wearing the number 10 is just a jersey, not a core, at best a functional position.
