Sports competition is after all a youth meal, the so-called fame should be early, regardless of the development of the back, the player must be the sooner the better, the earlier the play out of the face of the development time is also longer. In the green world, every year there are a number of young players on the road to fame, even in the relatively backward Development of Chinese football, this situation is the same.
When you think of a young and famous or young classic player of the national football team, who will come to mind? In this article, the author will sort it out a little and take stock of the TOP10 representative players for reference. Of course, due to space limitations, if there is a lost pearl or a debatable choice, you are welcome to leave a message in the comment area to add.
10. Sui Dongliang
When it comes to the representatives of the national footballers who have become famous at a young age, how can they skip the "Four Little Swans" combination of the past?
Back to the eve of the start of the 1998 Top Ten, in order to prepare for the World Cup, the national football team drew 6 young elite players from the 21 Jianlibao youth troops who studied in Brazil at that time (in that era, they were regarded as the hope for the future of Chinese football) to prepare for the big list, and finally four were left in the team, known as the "Four Little Swans".
Compared with Li Jinyu, Li Tie, and Zhang Xiaorui, Sui Dong, one of the "Four Little Swans", is the one with the worst height for him, but from the perspective of young fame, he can be urgently recalled to China by the national team and enter the big list when he was in his early 20s, which is enough to be the peak of the teenager's ambition.
In the summer of 1998, Sui Dongliang, wearing the number 24 shirt, made his debut in a friendly match against Malaysia. Soon after his debut, Sui Dongliang reached heights and opportunities that are difficult for many professional football players to reach.
In terms of professional competition, due to the contract of the parent team in Bayi, Sui Dongliang could only play in the Bayi team for a long time after returning to China, and did not qualify for the A A League during the golden period of the rise, and was the thigh of the team in A B for several seasons. After the dissolution of the Bayi team, Sui Dongliang joined Beijing Guoan in 2004, and then quickly became a main player with his strength, showing his former talents on a higher platform. After Huang Bowen grew up, Sui Dongliang faded out of the team, choosing to hang up his boots and retire at the age of 32, and then worked as a youth football coach for a long time.
9. Zhang Xiaorui
Zhang Xiaorui from Tianjin, one of the "Four Little Swans", can be said to be one of the spokesmen for reiki and dribbling in the history of Chinese football, and was even more optimistic about becoming "China's Maradona" at the beginning of his debut. Where does this statement come from, from Zhang Xiaorui's early years as a Jianlibao youth army in Brazil, his playing style is really very South American, fully absorbing the football skills learned in Brazil.
In the group of young players in Jianlibao, Zhang Xiaorui is one of the most outstanding ones, and it is also the thigh of the 1999 national Olympic team, which is widely praised by fans for its delicate dribbling and outstanding skills, so that there are calls for "recalling Zhang Xiaorui" before the announcement of the list of each national team after the 1998 Top Ten, but in the end it did not happen, and the main reason behind it was Zhang Xiaorui's injury.
During Horton's national Olympic team, Zhang Xiaorui was seriously injured in the ankle during the team's training match, and has been carrying a free bone ever since. It was not until 2001 that Zhang Xiaorui recovered from surgery and then a long recovery from his injuries while on loan to German second division Aachen FC. However, the injury consumed the best time for Zhang Xiaorui to dance. After returning from Germany, although Zhang Xiaorui occasionally had wonderful performances at Shanghai Zhongbang Club, his competitive level still did not reach the height that was expected at the beginning, and he has not been able to be selected for the national football team again.
VIII. Wang Dalei
In the early middle and early stages of his career, Wang Dalei has always been regarded as a super class player. In his career, Wang Dalei was the MVP player of the 2004 Asian Junior Championships, and in 2005, he led Guoshao to the quarterfinals of the U17 World Cup and equaled the best in history. Not long after arriving in the national youth team, he was recruited into the team by the head coach of the national Olympic team, Dujkovic, and then became the youngest international in the big list since the professionalization of Chinese football.
In his club career, Wang Dalei was bought by the former Warcraft & Shenhua tycoon Zhu Jun for 2 million yuan, and he was less than eighteen years old as the main goalkeeper of the league; in the second year of his career, he nominated Asian newcomer Wang and won trial training invitations for Inter, Eindhoven, Lyon and other teams.
Because his fame is too early, Wang Dalei has been active in everyone's impression for a long time. However, when you open his encyclopedia, you will find that Wang Dalei is only 32 years old this year, not too old by goalkeeper standards. Looking back at Wang Dalei's career trajectory, he entered the peak state early, but for various reasons did not improve his development ceiling, such as the difficulty of the nerve knife to change, the poor encounter in the ocean, etc., which is a pity.
7. Qi Hong
Back in 1995, the then 19-year-old Shenhua youngster Qi Hong made his debut in the FA Cup against athletics, scoring two goals on his debut to help the team turn defeat into victory, thus laying the main position of Shanghai Shenhua, known as "Shenjiang Xiaolong". Under Xu Genbao's command, Qi Hong, Fan Zhiyi, and Xie Hui formed the Shenhua Three Musketeers, the youngest of the three.
In the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup Asian Qualifier Round of Ten, Qi Hong scored three golden key goals in three matches, and was one of the main contributors to the national football team's ability to appear in the World Cup final in 2002. As a generalist in the frontcourt, Qi Hong has comprehensive technology, clear thinking on kicking, strong personal scoring and organizational connection, can play shadow forwards, retreat can kick the back of the barrier, foreign media have used [China's Scholes] to describe Qi Hong.
As a young and famous representative player, Qi Hong has cashed in his talent, and the national team has performed very well, and his performance is worthy of his international position. Unfortunately, Qi Hong missed out on his football career, but he hopes to contribute to Chinese football or live the rest of his life after reforming. From the perspective of pure football, just as Shanghai fans have said in the past, when everyone mentions Qi Hong, in fact, the first thing that comes to mind is his beautiful performance, and it is still the praise: Qi Hong, Lao Ling!
Sixth, Qu Bo
As a member of the Super Platinum Generation, Qu Bo, who enjoys the reputation of "Chasing the Wind Boy", has become widely famous in the 2001 World Youth Championships against the host Argentina. Facing the Argentine Youth Army, Qu Bo showed the speed of the wind, the breakthrough caused great trouble to the opponent, and the individual scored a goal in the game, which appeared at the right time when the national football fans called for a new generation of fast horses.
Fans who know Qu Bo or Tianjin football better may know Qu Bo earlier in the 2000 Asian Youth Championship. In the 2000 Asian Youth Championship, if it were not for Qu Bo coming forward and ending the game against the South Korean national youth team, the team won the third place, and the national youth would not have been able to go to the 2001 World Youth Championship. It can be said that Qu Bo was able to enter the 2002 World Cup roster, completely relying on his own talent and attitude to spell out in the youth level competition.
After the End of the World Cup, Qu Bo tried to train for Tottenham Hotspur, but unfortunately he failed to make the trip because of his labor certification. After that, Qu Bo was contracted by the Dutch Feyenoord team, but he was seriously fractured due to the injury of the national Olympic team in the game, and he left the dream broken. After a year of recuperation, the comeback Qu Bo encountered hyperthyroidism and a difficult fate, and it was difficult to reach the height of being able to challenge the Dutch first division and even the Premier League.
Whether it is the league or the national team, Qu Bo's performance is remarkable. As a young and famous highly talented full-back, it is a pity that Qu Bo has never stayed in the Ocean, but participating in the World Cup may have largely compensated for this career regret. Personally, I think that if he remains healthy after the 2002 World Cup, Qu Bo's achievements in staying in the West should be no less than that of Wu Lei.
V. Dewey
When he was a teenager, he showed outstanding strength at the Shanghai Cable Club, and was early regarded by the outside world as the best choice for the future national football center-back; he became the captain of the national Olympic team at the age of 19 and won the AFC Best Newcomer Player of the Year in the same year; at the age of 20, he was selected for the World Cup roster and played the whole game after two games in the group stage. Judging from the awards received and the performance stage given, the speed of Dewey's rise is rare among the newcomers in the national football team over the years, and he has completed many things that the national football team dreams of accomplishing early.
However, the story of newcomers with too high a starting point is often accompanied by either lack of staying power or slipping due to injury. In Dewey's story, the situation is more inclined to lack of staying power. Until 2005, Dewey was on the rise. That year, Dewey was on short-term loan to Scottish Premier League giants Celtic. During the loan period, Dewey was eaten raw by unknown strikers of the second-tier team in his first League Cup match, and within 20 minutes, he went off with a red dot, performing a disaster, and was returned early.
After returning from Scotland, I don't know if it was because of the blow, which broke the idea of continuing to challenge himself, Dewey began to enter a stable period, which is a very good defender in China and a regular visitor to the national team. However, in terms of players who have taken the level of Asian newcomer king, Dewey should be the most unsatisfactory Asian newcomer king after the new century.
4. Li Jinyu
Looking at world football, there are always some classic babyface killer players, who often become famous very early, and have always been young in appearance, and it is easier to retain the atmosphere of youth. In the history of Chinese football, players who conform to this description, the author will first think of Li Jinyu.
As one of the "Four Little Swans", Li Jinyu was highly concerned by the outside world early when Jianlibao stayed in the ocean. Because, as the top scorer of that youth army, Li Jinyu played more than 160 games in Brazil and scored more than 100 goals, which is the best shooter among the outstanding seedlings, and he also got the opportunity to enter the national team early.
At the age of 21, Li Jinyu was given the opportunity to join Nancy in Ligue 1 on loan, which was the most critical node in the early days of Li Jinyu's career, and if he grasped it, he could directly start or take off in the five major leagues. Unfortunately, the invincible big feathers were not prepared at that time, and Nancy gave Li Jinyu 6 or 7 games time to prove that he was worth staying, the latter performed mediocrely, had no harvest, and finally returned to China early to develop and never went out again.
However, there is a saying that among the young and famous national football players, Li Jinyu's development has been quite good, and the peak period of maintenance is also very long. Whether it is the middle and early stages of Liaozu or the middle and late stages of Luneng's play, Li Jinyu's performance is very good, and he is a long-term spokesman for domestic first-class shooters. Relatively speaking, Li Jinyu's national team career development is average, because there are more masters in the same period and personal style is not the best solution in the whole, Li Jinyu rarely gets the opportunity to play in the indian print, and the best national brand tournament is traced back to the 1998 Asian Games.
Third, Li Tie
As one of the "Four Little Swans", Li Tie was selected for the national team list early at the age of 18 and competed in the top ten in the Asian region with the national football team in 1997. The difference with the other three little swans is that the young Li Tie at that time was not a backup marginal person for the team, but a young international who could play key games stably, impressing fans and the media with his tough play style, tireless and strong physical fitness, cold and frosty personality, and habitual blowing movements.
In terms of club career, in 1998, the 21-year-old Li Tie helped Liaozu win the second place in the First Division B and the second place in the FA Cup; the following year, that is, in 1999, the 22-year-old Li Tie led the team to win the second place in the A League and the Super League championship as the captain, so that the Liaozu and Liao Xiaohu teams became the myth of the promotion in the history of Chinese professional football; in 2001, the 24-year-old Li Tie became the Chinese Footballer of the Year & A Golden Globe player and won the first person of the year. As the core international, he played most of the 2002 World Cup qualifiers and also appeared on the World Cup stage smoothly.
The so-called fame should be early, of course, the sooner the money should be earned, the better, the sooner the fame is realized, the better, on the road of coaching, Li Tie's speed in the initial stage is also very fast, 35 years old is the core assistant coach of the AFC Champions League champion Guangzhou Evergrande team; 38 years old became the hebei Huaxia Happiness Sports Director & Head Coach; 40 years old became the general manager and sports director of Wuhan Zhuoer Club; 43 years old became the Chinese national football coach.
Second, Zheng Zhi
As a big man in Chinese football in the dark period, Zheng Zhi debuted from the Liaoning Youth Team, and then debuted in the deep foot, first becoming famous as a right-back and starting a national tour.
Back in 2002, Zhu Guanghu realized that Zheng Zhi's talent was not just a defender, but a composite all-round talent, and transformed him into a midfielder. In the same year, the 22-year-old Zheng Zhi became the league assist king in one fell swoop, helping Shenzhen team to get the second place in the league, personally becoming the youngest Chinese footballer, and then began a long period of glory. At the time of the Asian Cup held on home in 2004, the 24-year-old Zheng Zhi could already play an important role in the national football team, which was still in the glory stage of talent, helping the team to win the runner-up of the current year.
Playing at the age of 20, entering the peak at the age of 21, and taking the first person in Chinese football at the age of 22, the take-off speed of this level is actually very powerful and rare as a Chinese player. The regret is that from the perspective of Zheng Zhi's career, this is probably still a little late. Because of the property rights dispute encountered by the Liaoning youth team around 1998, Zheng Zhi had no ball to play between the ages of 18 and 20, and did not transfer to Shenzhen until 2000. If it were not for this blank period, Zheng Zhi's ability would have been possible to catch up with the fame before the 2002 World Cup and enter the big list.
1. Sun Jihai
It is gold that shines everywhere, every road leads to Rome, and everything is the best arrangement, these three sentences have been perfectly reflected in the early days of Sun Jihai's career.
When the Jianlibao group youth team was in full swing and selected seedlings everywhere, Sun Jihai also participated. However, because of the results of the bone age test that slightly exceeded the standard, Sun Jihai was excluded from the road to brazil to develop. However, as we all know, the teenager Sun Jihai, who was expelled from Brazil's list of foreign countries, later became the most successful player in Chinese football.
Saion lost his horse, is it a blessing? It was precisely because of the setback of losing the Jianlibao youth team that Sun Jihai became the first super newcomer in the same batch of players of the same age to play in A A. At the age of less than 19, Sun Jihai sat firmly in the absolute main force of Dalian Wanda, who was as strong as a cloud, became the main international of the national team at the age of 20, and was an important member of the national football team in the preparation stage of the World Cup in 1997. In the 2002 World Cup cycle, Sun Jihai's performance needless to say, there is no him, the national football team
At the age of 21, Sun Jihai and Fan Zhiyi took a flight to England together and began a career of staying in the united countries on loan at the Crystal Palace in the League One. In terms of performance, in the six months of crystal palace, Sun Jihai's performance was passable, and all aspects of technology were improving, but because the parent team Dalian fell into relegation, Sun Jihai had to interrupt his first career in the West and return to China to be the savior.
After helping the team through the crisis, Sun Jihai chose to join Manchester City in 2003, and then helped the team to succeed in the Premier League and left a famous British Isles in the Premier League for several years. Looking back, in the entire history of Chinese football, among the Chinese players who became famous at a young age or achieved success as a teenager, Sun Jihai was the most successful in development.
