After the dissolution of the Guangzhou team, this is the first time Wei Shihao has made a public appearance and statement. The national football team is currently training in Haikou. Although there has been a lot of noise recently due to his salary dispute with the Guangzhou team, the national team still arranged for Wei Shihao to accept media interviews. Although he did not mention the dissolution of the Guangzhou team, it can be seen that Wei Shihao's personal mood has not been affected too much.
Wei Shihao's three statements are quite informative and worth paying attention to. The first sentence is that he said that after private exchanges among the whole team, Bahrain is relatively the easiest opponent to play against and also feels the most relaxed. This gives us a lot of confidence because Bahrain just won the Gulf Cup recently, and many people were worried that Bahrain would pose a threat to the national team. However, Wei Shihao still gave us confidence in defeating Bahrain twice.
The second sentence is that Wei Shihao said that one of the important contents of this training is to solve the problems that appeared in set pieces before. This also shows that the Ivan coaching staff still listens to outside opinions. If the problem of set pieces can be solved, the team's hope of making it to the World Cup will definitely increase greatly.
The third sentence is that Wei Shihao also said that many newcomers have joined the national team now, and the current atmosphere is the best. He and his teammates feel that qualifying is very hopeful. Wei Shihao believes that the addition of many young national players has indeed improved the team's atmosphere, which proves that Ivan's emphasis on young players is a double-edged sword, becoming more and more like Milu's happy football during the World Cup campaign.
Finally, I would like to say that although it is natural justice to pay off debts, Wei Shihao did not give enough time to the Guangzhou team, and there was a misunderstanding in communication. No matter what, things have come to this point. I hope fans can wish Wei Shihao all the best. Moreover, at the level of the national team, Chinese fans will still fully support their own national team and strive to achieve the dream of entering the World Cup in the new year. (Lao Qiu)
