As the two most influential strikers in the history of the national football team's "losing a single knife", Qianlang Li Yi rarely stood up to support Houlang Wulei.
Talking about Wu Lei missing a single knife when the national football team played against Saudi Arabia in the round of 12, Li Yi first affirmed Wu Lei's ability, believing that he could create so many single knives, and replaced by ordinary players may not even have the opportunity to single knives.
At the same time, as for why Lei always loses a single knife, the former national football striker appeared as a person who came over and said that Wu Lei wanted to change his "single knife phobia".
Only by defeating yourself can you defeat the single knife. Emperor Li Yi was right!
Li Yi's words were quite sympathetic.
Once upon a time, he was also under great pressure because he missed a single knife.
Time back to the 2004 Asian Cup final. In the 78th minute, the national football team had a chance to equalize the score to 2-2, but this opportunity was wasted by Li Yi. At the time, he was given a great one-handed chance to score, but after passing the goalkeeper, he missed the opportunity to score. In the end, the national football team lost 1-3 to Japan and missed the first Asian Cup.
This single knife became a turning point in Li Yi's national football career, and he was condemned by fans and has since been insulated from the national team. Even after that, when he followed the club to an away game, he could almost hear the scolding of the fans.
Therefore, although Wu Lei lost so many single knives, everything he endured was not worth mentioning at all compared with his predecessor Li Yi.
Over the years, Li Yi has repeatedly talked about the loss of a single knife in the Asian Cup.
In 2014, in an interview, talking about the missed single knife of the 2004 Asian Cup, Li Yi admitted that he was incompetent.
Li Yi said it was normal to lose a single knife because Baggio, who was much more capable than him, also kicked a penalty in the World Cup final.
"Some people may never have this experience for the rest of their lives because, they can't stand on that stage. I didn't score, but I was not ashamed, I tried my best, I had limited ability. Li Yi continued.
Defending Wu Lei, he said that ordinary players can't even get a single knife opportunity. Defend yourself and think that some players can't stand on the stage of the Asian Cup. The expression of these two sentences is quite similar.
After another N years, Emperor Li Yi personally explained the lost knife of the Asian Cup on a certain platform (below).
He regretted that he was too eager to swim this ball, and if he went out for 2 meters more, a push would be an empty goal.
Both missed the key single knife, Wu Lei was facing the Saudi team, Li Yi was against the Japanese team, and the national football team in both games ended in defeat.
If you throw away these two key single knives in a big contest: Li Yi PK Wu Lei, who is more difficult?
Let's first look at Li Yi's missed single knife at the 2004 Asian Cup (below).
It can be seen that when the ball crossed the goalkeeper, Li Yi was heading in the direction of the goal, and the ball was saved by the goalkeeper. If at this time he had pulled the ball a few meters outward and dodged the goalkeeper's save, it is likely that the situation would be very different.
Therefore, this single knife mistake just confirms Li Yi's own words, which is his "limited ability".
Admitting that your ability is insufficient, which requires a certain amount of courage. Li Yi said so, worthy of praise!
Look at Wu Lei's single knife thrown against Saudi Arabia in the national football team (above).
This single knife was run by Wu Lei by ability, but he chose the goalkeeper's favorite half-high shot at the end of the day, which was just saved by the goalkeeper.
In the 33rd minute of the first half, saudi Arabia temporarily led the national football team 1-0, and if Wu Lei scored the ball, the score was rewritten to 1-1.
Comparing these two single knives, it is clear that Li Yi's goal is more difficult, because his shooting angle is smaller, and the goalkeeper has already stepped forward to save the ball.
And Wu Lei's single knife, the Saudi goalkeeper is almost in place, and the angle of the shot is also larger.
Just imagine, if Wu Lei kicked out the ground ball, the direction of the shot did not run to the goalkeeper to kick, the ball is most likely to be decided.
Of course, there are no regret pills, and there are no ifs.
As Emperor Li Yi said, what Wu Lei needs to improve is the self-confidence of playing a single knife, which is crucial.
Otherwise, it is always missing a single knife, and it is fine at the level of the national football team, after all, it is the only star who stays in the ocean, and everyone is holding the kick. But when it comes to Espanyol, your teammates won't give you so many opportunities to waste. The end result could be: loss of teammate trust and less possession.
