Dear fans and friends, hello everyone, I am Dongliang. Today, let's talk about a man of the year in Chinese football - Wu Lei. In 2023, Shanghai Port striker Wu Lei won the Chinese Golden Globe Award again, which is the fourth time he has stood at the top of this honor. I have to say that Wu Lei's status in the Chinese football world is already pivotal.
But having said that, Wu Lei's four consecutive Golden Ball Awards also reflect some deep-seated problems in Chinese football. Dongliang believes that a player can win such a high honor for four consecutive years, which certainly shows his personal strength and hard work, but also shows from the side that Chinese football has not emerged too many top players who can match him in the past few years.
In an interview, Wu Lei talked about the difficult times for Chinese football. He said that although Chinese football has suffered many setbacks in recent years, he firmly believes that practitioners should persist in not giving up and show the best side for fans. Dongliang very much agrees with Wu Lei's attitude. Indeed, as a professional footballer, we must not only maintain a spirit of perseverance in the face of difficulties, but also bring hope and expectation to fans through our own efforts.
Wu Lei also mentioned his experience of "staying abroad" in Spain. In three and a half years, he has learned a lot, both on the pitch and the club's operating system. Dongliang believes that this experience is undoubtedly a valuable asset for Wu Lei. Through contact with international high-level players and coaches, Wu Lei not only improved his technical and tactical level, but also deeply understood the all-round gap between Chinese football and world football.
Especially in terms of football understanding and culture, Wu Lei believes that Chinese football still has a long way to go. Dongliang also feels the same way. Chinese football has long been constrained by culture and management, which has led to a gap between us and the world's advanced level in many aspects. In order to truly improve the level of Chinese football, in addition to strengthening youth training and improving the quality of the league, it is necessary to carry out in-depth reforms from the cultural and management levels.
When it comes to the new season of the Chinese Super League, Wu Lei is full of expectations. Despite the defeat in the Super Cup, he expressed confidence in the new philosophy and style of play of the team and coach. Dongliang believes that this is exactly the attitude and temperament that Wu Lei should show as a leader player. Maintaining confidence in difficult situations and facing challenges positively is not only Wu Lei's excellent personal quality, but also the spiritual strength needed by Chinese football.
At the same time, Wu Lei also stressed the importance of helping young players and passing on experience. Dongliang feels that this point is very crucial. If Chinese football wants to achieve sustainable development, it must pay attention to the cultivation and growth of young players. And veteran players like Wu Lei, by sharing their own experience and insights, can help young players grow faster and inject more vitality and hope into the future of Chinese football.
Of course, we must also admit that the performance of Chinese football in competitions such as the Asian Cup is not ideal, and the gap with other Asian teams is widening. In this regard, Wu Lei called on Chinese football to keep up with the world trend and improve the rhythm of the league. Dongliang believes that this is a very pragmatic proposal. Indeed, only by continuously improving the level of the league and the pace of the game can we attract more outstanding foreign players and coaches to China, thereby promoting the overall progress of Chinese football.
In addition, Wu Lei also expressed confidence that the national team will enter the round of 18 of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Dongliang hopes so. After all, for Chinese football, being able to participate in a major competition like the World Cup is undoubtedly the best test of our strength and level. At the same time, by competing with the world's strongest teams, we can also better recognize our own shortcomings and areas for improvement.
In general, Wu Lei's four consecutive Golden Ball Awards are not only a reflection of his personal strength and hard work, but also a reflection of some deep-seated problems in Chinese football. But as Wu Lei said, in the face of difficulties and challenges, we must not give up, and we must firmly believe that we can get out of the trough and strive for the future of Chinese football. Dongliang also believes that as long as we can continue to work hard and embark on the right path, Chinese football will be able to usher in a more brilliant moment in the future!
