The Chinese national football team has recently completed a ten-day winter training camp in Hainan, which provided valuable opportunities for physical conditioning and tactical coordination. This training period also marked the transformation and growth of an experienced player. National team coach Ivanovic praised the performance of all players during the training, especially that of Wei Shihao, which is rare in his coaching career. Ivanovic stated that Wei Shihao demonstrated exceptional leadership and team spirit, becoming a standout player in the national team. The Croatian coach commended Wei Shihao not only for his outstanding technical skills but also for his key role in mentoring younger players and leading them forward. In response to the coach's praise, Wei Shihao humbly expressed during an interview, "This training camp had the best atmosphere in the national team. As one of the older players, I have the responsibility and obligation to lead them well." Wei Shihao's journey to transformation was not without challenges. As a top player from the '95 generation, he achieved fame at a young age and was a mainstay in various youth national teams. However, his experiences with the senior national team were filled with ups and downs. From Lippi to Li Tie, Wei Shihao never received true recognition, and his career at the national level was fraught with difficulties. Under Ivanovic's leadership, however, Wei Shihao finally found his spring. In recent 18-strong matches, he played as a core player, repaying the coach's trust with his actions and displaying the spirit of a hardworking soldier. Reflecting on Wei Shihao's national team career,…

According to reports from many domestic media, Ivan praised Wei Shihao in a recent media interview, almost praising him like a flower. Ivan praised Wei Shihao as an older brother in the national team, capable of playing an important role in passing on skills and experience. Wei Shihao also showed enough respect and support for Ivan Kozlovic, believing that he has the ability to lead the national team to qualify for the World Cup finals. Fans familiar with Wei Shihao know that such a situation was almost impossible in the past national team. In the eyes of previous national team coaches, Wei Shihao was not only a player who didn't talk much but also a rebellious problem youth. He not only disobeyed the coach's management but also often "fought bravely" in games, digging pits for the national team and becoming a big trouble for the team. He was known as the "thorn" of the national team. Therefore, whether it was Marcello Lippi before or his successor Li Tie, they didn't like Wei…

Translation of the content: Honestly, I think our players shouldn't hold any retirement ceremonies. To be frank, they should keep a low profile; what qualifications do they have for such an event? Don't imitate foreign players who have far more honors than us. Besides Chinese fans, who even knows who you are? It's embarrassing. These are the players who make the most money in their clubs but have the poorest technical and tactical skills. They are the worst performers in the national team and the most domineering in domestic low-level leagues. They are also the least ambitious group that should have been replaced long ago. These old-timers of the national team drove Lippi away. How dare they cry? Are they just pawns of Chen from the docks? After driving Lippi away, it allowed domestic coach Li to take over, working with Chen to wreak havoc on Chinese football. We were so close to qualifying for the World Cup, but to put it bluntly, we were not just a little short. The previous generation of national team players at least tried their best. There was no scheming or cheating; they worked together on the field. Although their skills might not have been the best, they had a clear conscience, and the eyes of the national fans are bright. Here, I want to say to them, "You've worked hard." As for you, holding a retirement ceremony, I doubt anyone would bother to attend. Watching it would be embarrassing. We don't lack good players. We can play attacking football against Japan, but we…
