Mention the king of the ball, I believe that the first reaction of many old fans is not the same. Some people think of Black Pearl Bailey first, and some people may think of Maradona, because his nickname is The Ball King. Of course, some people also think of the alien Ronaldo, because 20 years ago, he was still an incomprehensible existence, a football icon of that era. Now, more young players may think of two names, they are Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. These two men are the best two of the football world in the past decade or so, the two of them almost monopolized the Ballon d'Or, and they are equally divided. Now they are over 30 years old, but they are still the world's top players, and their idol role has made many children like football, and even engage in professional football, which has also played a great role in the development of football.
And at that time, every club and national team was looking forward to having their own Messi and Ronaldo, one was to lead the team to better results, and the other was to make more young players love the sport. Therefore, over the years, outstanding young talents around the world have been called Messi or C Ronaldo. For example, Japan's Messi Jiu Health Care, such as South Korea's Messi Lee Seung-woo, C Ronaldo Son Heung-min, etc., these are the hopes that everyone gives to the young players of their respective teams.
Of course, in the relatively backward Chinese football, there are naturally many local Messi and C Ronaldo. For example, Guoqing C Luo Wei Shihao, Chongqing Messi Feng Jin, and even Tianjin C Mao. But it is a pity that we Messi and C Ronaldo have few kicks, most of them are shooting stars, and some of them have not met everyone's expectations. In fact, this has also triggered our fans to think, why can't Messi and C Ronaldo appear in the soil of our Chinese football?
In fact, there is an interesting thing recently that seems to give us the answer. Just a few days ago, the 33-year-old national football forward Yang Xu spoke out for Feng Xiaoting and also called on fans to calm down and provide better advice to Chinese football. Under his social media, there was an old player who liked him, and Yang Xu directly replied: "Hello Ball King", and the player replied: "The Ball King is Messi", and Yang Xu replied: "You are the Chinese Ball King". What kind of character will be called the king of Chinese football by the national football team? The answer is revealed, this person is Sang Yifei.
Mention this name believes that many fans are not familiar with it at all, do not know who he is. Sang Yifei was born in Henan in 1989 and grew up under the youth training of Beijing Guoan as a forward player. When it comes to the position of the front waist, I believe that many fans will be bright. Because the current national football team lacks forward players, lacks a frontcourt organizational core, and can carry the ball forward to advance the attack. However, it is precisely because Sang Yifei plays such an important central axis position that it is difficult for him to emerge from behind. Because soon the Chinese Super League entered the Golden Yuan era, in this era, the central axis of the team is for big-name foreign aid, and local players can only stand on the sidelines.
Therefore, in his later career, Sang Yifei has always been loaned by the team in the lower leagues, he has played in the middle B, played in the middle division, it is difficult to play in the Chinese Super League. In the 2017 season, Sang Yifei joined the difficult Liaozu and soon became the main force of the team, which was his first time playing in the Chinese Super League, and also showed his ability in the front waist position. His foot skills and ability to hold the ball are very strong, with the ability to push forward the attack, and he also has the ability to shoot a super long-range shot. Unfortunately, at that time, the Liaozu talent was exhausted, and there were not many players who could cooperate with him, and in the end, the team was demoted. After being demoted to the middle division, Sang Yifei did not leave, but chose to stay in Liaozu, and soon he became the captain and midfield core of Liaozu, until Liaozu disbanded, and he also became the captain of the last generation of Liaozu. That season Sang Yifei performed well, starting 29 times in 29 games and scoring 7 goals.
Later, after the dissolution of the team, Sang Yifei joined the Wuhan Sanzhen team in the Central B and formed a midfield double core with Deng Zhuoxiang, the core of the former national football team. In the first year, he was promoted from The Middle B to the Middle Division, and the second year he was promoted from the Middle Division to the Chinese Super League, which is a bit of a Kaiserslautern. The team's achievements have a lot to do with Sang Yifei's play, last season Sang Yifei played 29 games, including 12 starts, scored 7 goals and 5 assists, much more efficient than Deng Zhuoxiang.
And Sang Yifei has finally returned to the Chinese Super League this season, how much role can the 33-year-old still play in the Chinese Super League? It's also something to look forward to. However, Sang Yifei's encounter is actually experienced by many outstanding Chinese players, because if you play in key positions and have strong ability, you have to compete with foreign aid, especially world-class big-name foreign aid, how can this be competed? If you don't adapt to play assists, then you are facing a cold bench, or even sinking to the middle and second divisions, or even the crown. So why Chinese football does not have its own real Messi and C Ronaldo, why there is no ball king, this is the answer, because we ourselves do not give ourselves a chance. What do you think?
