With the deepening of the World Cup qualifiers, the top 18 stage has become a crucial battle for national teams to compete for World Cup entry tickets. For the Chinese men's football team, this stage is particularly critical as they face four strong opponents from different continents: Saudi Arabia, Australia, Indonesia, and Bahrain. Every match is like a decisive battle, testing not only the players' technical and tactical levels but also their willpower and team spirit. The goal of the Chinese men's football team in this World Cup qualifier is very clear: to break into the top four and strive to qualify for the playoff. To achieve this goal, the team has made meticulous preparations and adjustments in terms of lineup and tactics. Among them, the performance of the two front-line generals, Wei Shihao and Zhang Yuning, will be crucial. They not only possess excellent individual skills but can also contribute key goals at critical moments. Wei Shihao is known for his sharp breakthroughs and precise shooting, while Zhang Yuning has won the trust of coaches and fans with his comprehensive offensive ability and outstanding physical confrontation skills. Their collaboration will be an important weapon for the Chinese men's football team to impact the top four. Under the leadership of head coach Ivan, the Chinese men's football team has shown a new look in this World Cup qualifier. Ivan not only focuses on the team's overall cooperation and tactical execution but also dares to use young players to inject fresh blood into the team. These young players have shown outstanding…

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,…

The training camp for the Chinese men's national football team has concluded. During this training session, a statement made by Wei Shihao during an interview left a deep impression on many people. A large number of fans are praising Wei Shihao, who was once known as a troublemaker in the national team, for his transformation! What did Wei Shihao say that evoked such feelings from the fans? In his interview, Wei Shihao discussed two points. First, he believes that the current atmosphere within the Chinese men's national football team is the best among all previous national teams. Second, he thinks that head coach Ivanković can lead the Chinese men's national football team to qualify for the World Cup finals. Honestly, it's not easy for Wei Shihao, who is already 29 years old, to say these words! During the Lippi era, Wei Shihao was just starting out, and Lippi did not trust him. After all, Wei Shihao at that time had a fiery personality and often lost his temper during matches, becoming a hidden landmine for the Chinese men's national football team. You never knew when he might explode. Later, under Li Tie's leadership, Wei Shihao was not favored by Li Tie. After all, Li Tie himself had problems. Due to Wei Shihao's disobedience, Li Tie also excluded him from the national team. We don't know how Ivanković managed to win over Wei Shihao! After the first two games of the top 18 qualifiers ended with two consecutive losses for the Chinese men's national football team, media reports revealed that the…

China's national football team has officially concluded its winter training for the New Year, with most of the players returning to their respective clubs to continue training. The head coach, Ivanković, needs to finalize the squad for the away match against Saudi Arabia during this period. A total of 31 players were called up for the training camp, but only 26 are needed for the away match against Saudi Arabia, meaning that 5 players will not make the cut. Firstly, goalkeeper Han Jiaqi is likely to be left out due to his average performance during the training camp. This was evident when he was outplayed by Wei Shihao's spectacular goal during a group confrontation. Therefore, Han Jiaqi will not be included in the squad for the away match against Saudi Arabia. In the central defender position, Han Pengfei and Wu Mitijiang have a high probability of being excluded. Han Pengfei is considered a fringe player for the national team, rarely representing the team in matches. Hence, he is likely to miss out on the squad for the away match against Saudi Arabia. Wu Mitijiang's main focus during the training camp was to experience the atmosphere of major competitions. He needs to fully recover from his injuries to establish himself in the national team. Lastly, Maiwulang and Yang Liyu also have a high likelihood of not making the squad. The failure of these five players to impress Ivanković is seen as expected by many fans. The key for the national team is to adjust to their best form before the away…

On January 18th, the Chinese national football team's 10-day winter training in Haikou is about to come to an end. Coach Ivan is very satisfied with the performance of the players, especially Wei Shihao. Ivan rarely praises individual players, but he praised Wei Shihao during this training camp. He believes that Wei Shihao has played a role in passing on and helping in this national team. In an interview, Wei Shihao also said, "This is the best atmosphere within our national team. I am one of the oldest in the team, so I should take good care of them." Once upon a time, Wei Shihao was still a U23 player. Nowadays, he has become the leader of the national team. Born in 1995, Wei Shihao is about to turn 30 years old. However, his experience in the senior national team has always been bumpy. Whether it was during Lippi's coaching period or later when Li Tie took over, Wei Shihao never received real importance. It wasn't until this 18-strong match that Wei Shihao enjoyed the treatment of a core player under Ivan, and he repaid Ivan's trust with his relentless spirit. Wei Shihao became famous at a young age and has always been the main player of various youth national teams, as well as the backbone of the team. However, in the senior national team, he did not make his debut for the national team until he was 22 years old. Wei Shihao, who will soon be 30 years old, has only played 34 games for the national team, scoring…

China's national football team has concluded its latest training camp, during which Wei Shihao, once known as a troublemaker within the team, made some impressive remarks in an interview that have left many fans praising his transformation. Wei Shihao shared two main points during his interview. Firstly, he believes that the current team atmosphere within China's national football team is the best it has ever been. Secondly, he is confident that head coach Ivanković can lead the Chinese team to qualify for the World Cup finals. It is quite remarkable that the 29-year-old Wei Shihao could express such sentiments! During Lippi's tenure, Wei Shihao was just starting out and Lippi did not trust him. At that time, Wei Shihao had a fiery personality and often lost his temper during matches, becoming a hidden danger for the Chinese team that could explode at any moment. Later, under Li Tie's leadership, Wei Shihao was not favored by Li Tie. After all, Li Tie himself had issues. Due to Wei Shihao's disobedience, Li Tie also excluded him from the national team. We don't know how Ivanković managed to win over Wei Shihao! After the first two games of the top 18 qualifiers, where the Chinese team suffered two consecutive losses, media reports revealed that the Chinese Football Association discussed the possibility of changing coaches with the players. At that time, Wei Shihao expressed his support for Ivanković to continue coaching. It is reported that before subsequent matches, Wei Shihao acted more like the team captain, emphasizing to his teammates the importance of following…

From January 9th, Beijing time, the Chinese men's football team has been in a state of harmony during their winter training. Under the leadership of head coach Ivan Kozlovic, the team has achieved unprecedented unity, and they are all confident about the prospects of the national team's World Cup qualifying campaign. As Wei Shihao said, the national team is very hopeful to achieve the goal of qualifying for the World Cup. It is worth mentioning that in recent days of training, Wei Shihao has surprisingly become Ivan's favorite. 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…

Ivanković is leading the Chinese men's football team in training in Haikou. Let's take a look at the latest training situation of the team. Situation One: Wu Lei's Return Date Confirmed In the latest men's football training list, Wu Lei was not selected due to a knee injury. When will he recover from his injury and return to the national team? This concerns the hearts of thousands of fans. At present, his return date can be roughly determined. Specifically, Wu Lei has decided to give up the conservative treatment plan for his knee injury and instead opt for a surgical treatment plan that carries certain risks. He will undergo surgery within this week, and after the surgery, he will need 2-3 months to recover. To return to the field, he should also need another 1-2 months to adjust his athletic abilities and state. Therefore, Wu Lei will definitely miss the two World Cup qualifiers in March, away against Saudi Arabia and home against Australia. The two World Cup qualifiers in June, away against Indonesia and home against Bahrain, will be the day of his return. Wu Lei previously received a closed treatment for his leg for the national team, and for this, he deserves our blessings. Looking forward to your return, King Wu! Situation Two: Bai Helamu Leaves the Team The 43rd Shenggang Cup is about to start, with the teams being Guangdong and Hong Kong, China. The Guangdong team mainly consists of players from the Chinese Super League club Shenzhen New Pengcheng, and since Bai Helamu is currently playing…

Wei Shihao is no longer young, and despite his individuality, he will cherish his time with the national team. Ivan Kozlovic is different from Li Tie; he doesn't throw players' phones and "wins people over with virtue." Wei Shihao, seen by Marcello Lippi as a "special case," would not dare to challenge a coach with European football concepts, as there's no need for it. Professional players should be proud to play for their country, and Wei Shihao is no exception. The atmosphere within the current national team is unprecedentedly harmonious. In an interview, Wei Shihao said, "Many new faces have joined the team, and I'm one of the older players. I need to take good care of them." This awareness is also a sign of progress. Not counting the current World Cup qualifiers, Wei Shihao can probably only participate in one more qualifying campaign. Chinese fans have bid farewell to wave after wave of national team players, including Zheng Zhi, Gao Lin, and Hao Junmin, who have all retired, as well as Zhang Linpeng and Wu Xi leaving the national team. Wei Shihao isn't foolish; making it to the World Cup is what truly matters! Suddenly, I remembered a movie called "Please Praise Me!" Wei Shihao may not necessarily need "praise," but his transformation reflects a personal awakening that benefits the overall atmosphere of the national team. Ivan Kozlovic rarely singles out individual players for praise, but he did praise Wei Shihao. On January 15th, according to reports from Dongti, recently Wei Shihao, as a mainstay of the current squad,…

National Football Team's New Leader? Wei Shihao's Major Transformation: Leading Support for the Coach + Setting an Example, Ivan Praises Him Individually On January 15th, Beijing time, according to the "Evening News" report, the national football team coach Ivan Kovic is very satisfied with Wei Shihao. Wei Shihao is already 29 years old and no longer young. Although he criticized the Guangzhou team and caused dissatisfaction among many fans, on the field, he is really becoming more and more mature and has become a help to the national team. As a "middle-aged" player in this national team, Wei Shihao sets an example by taking the lead in implementing the requirements of the coaching staff and supporting the head coach, playing a good role in transmitting, helping, and leading. According to the "Evening News," Ivan rarely praises a single player individually, but he is different with Wei Shihao, showing that he is satisfied with him. Wei Shihao's major transformation is not only a personal improvement but also reflects from the side that the Chinese Football Association's focus on ideological work in recent times has been effective, and the overall atmosphere of the team is getting better and better. It seems that Wei Shihao has the potential to become the new leader of the national football team. He will be entering his thirties in April this year, and it is indeed time for him to take on his responsibilities.
