Can you believe it? A young man born in 2004, standing at 182 cm tall, runs freely on the field, unstoppable! This isn't about the protagonist of an online novel, but a promising new player from Xinjiang, Wumiti Jiang. Is our national football team finally getting some fresh blood?
What? Another newcomer? Veteran fans might wave their hands dismissively—how many new players has the national team gone through over the years? But this time, it's different! This young player from Xinjiang is not just a "pretty face" being hyped up; he's the real deal!
Speaking of this post-95s Wumiti Jiang, he's quite the tough guy. On the field, he's a typical "gung-ho" player, willing to do anything. Take his injury as an example: during a match against Tianjin Jinmen Tiger in August, he head-butted an opponent so hard that he fractured his own skull! How dedicated is that?
Over the years, our national team has become increasingly lackluster. They're often beaten to the ground, leaving fans stomping their feet in frustration. It's like a pot of soup that's been boiled for too long, losing its flavor. But now, here comes a young man from Xinjiang, with his physique and fighting spirit, exuding a raw energy!
Talking about Wumiti Jiang's playing style, it's quite interesting. Although he's a defender, he's not one to just stand guard in front of the goal. As a center-back, he can run and jump, and even break through the lines? He's going to turn the opponent's defense upside down!
Ivankovic is cunning and has had his eye on this kid for a while. Think about it: a defender who can fight, withstand pressure, and break through—that's exactly what modern football needs! If it weren't for that head injury, he might have already worn the national team jersey.
To be honest, what our national team has lacked over the years are players who aren't afraid to give it their all. Those "greenhouse flowers" wilt at major competitions, making people anxious. Now, we've got someone who's willing to put their head on the line, and that's what it looks like!
When it comes to football talent from Xinjiang, there's no shortage. From Maiti Jiang to Baihelamu, who isn't skilled? If Wumiti Jiang really makes the cut, he'll be another flag for Xinjiang football. Imagine if such players emerged more frequently from a vast region like Xinjiang; would the national team still worry about its future?
But let's be clear, having just determination isn't enough. The national team has suffered in recent years due to a lack of solid fundamentals. Wumiti Jiang may have talent, but he's still young and needs to be honed. If Ivankovic can really train him well, it would truly be a treasure found.
Look at teams like South Korea and Japan; which one doesn't start from grassroots training? Their young players have fine techniques and good awareness, while we're still debating whether to let young players play. Now that we've finally got a promising seedling, we must give them a chance!
The problem with the national team over the years boils down to being too conservative. Always clinging to the same old faces, they dare not use newcomers even when they're growing moldy. If Wumiti Jiang really makes the team, he might just stir up some waves in this stagnant pond.
Finally, the editor wants to ask: Over the years, hasn't our national team been lacking players who are willing to fight and compete fiercely? What do you think?
