The selection of the right back of the national football team has always been a big difficulty, and since Zhang Linpeng is quite old, there is no stable main force in this position. Originally, the head coach of the national football team, Ivankovic, wanted to use Gao Zhunyi, but the latter was unable to play due to appendicitis surgery, and had to be replaced by Wang Zhenao of SIPG against the Thai team. After Wang Zhenao was injured, Yang Zexiang of Shenhua was replaced by the South Korean team.
Whether it is Yang Zexiang or Wang Zhenao, they are all players with 0 experience in playing international matches on behalf of the national football team, and they can be used from a practical point of view, and their performance is decent and there are no major mistakes. But whether he can play well or not, whether he can be the main right-back of the national football team, we have to continue to observe.
In fact, in addition to the above 3 people, the candidates for the right back of the national football team also include two veterans of Guoan, Li Lei and Wang Gang, and even Wu Xinghan of Shandong Taishan, who are all more popular candidates. Each of these players has its own strengths and weaknesses. Who to choose? No matter how you use it, you have to test Ivan's employment.
The good news is that the national football team has a new option at right-back.
In the 17th round of the Chinese Super League, Chengdu Rongcheng's 21-year-old player Hu Hetao's performance was eye-catching. Not only is the clever shot successful, but the attack on the side is also very distinctive, and the passing movements are dazzling, and even the opponent is deceived by the circle.
Let's take a look at Hu Hetao's dexterity first! More than 20 minutes into the game, Chengdu Rongcheng attacked near the opponent's bottom line. At this time, Hu Hetao controlled the ball but was squeezed by the opponent next to the corner flag area. Facing back to the opponent's blocking, how did Hu Hetao manage to be dexterous? I saw that he was about to take out to the right side with a false swing, and suddenly he turned sharply on the left side and passed the opponent (above, below).
Hu Hetao's pass this time is really wonderful, for so many years in the Chinese Super League, it is rare to see a local player so dexterous, especially in the later stage of Jinyuan football.
This pass once again showed that Hu Hetao is a very dexterous player. The former Olympic player under Cheng Yaodong was not a right-back player, but after returning to the club this time, Xu Zhengyuan transformed him into a right-back, and he never thought that he would become a hit.
It wasn't the only one of his best performances. Ten minutes later, he had another brilliant goal.
This was the third goal of the game for Chengdu Rongcheng. Hu Hetao's shot was clever – a fake right foot seemed to be about to shoot, and then a left heel bump knocked the ball into the opponent's goal (below). Even the goalkeeper of the Cangzhou Lions was stunned by this goal, and he had no reaction, so he could only watch the ball roll into his own goal
Seeing such a wonderful performance by Hu Hetao, media person Zhao Zhen couldn't help but call on Ivankovic to recruit him into the national football team to play right-back. And the live broadcast commentator was also amazed, commenting on the performance of Hu Hetao as a genius player, and it is no longer enough for him to play in today's top Chinese arena.
Judging from the performance of this game, Hu Hetao's performance is very eye-catching, and he has the momentum to surpass other competitors. If he can have a consistent and similar performance in the next few games, he will be the main position of the right-back of the national football team. I'm afraid he's just a flash in the pan.
Of course, even if Ivan does not regard him as the main right-back of the national football team, with this outstanding performance, sooner or later he will be a strong contender for the main force of the national football team. This is the ideal candidate for the right-back of the national football team? I just don't know if the national football coach Ivankovic has seen his performance.
