Recently, according to domestic media reports, it was confirmed that Wei Shihao has officially participated in the national football team's joint training, and there is no suspense about his future appearance in the national football team's life-and-death match against Qatar. Wei Shihao is the ace player that Jankovic focused on promoting after taking over the national football team. Although Wei Shihao knocked on the door of the national football team not long after his debut, he must thank Jankovic for truly establishing a foothold in the national team. Jankovic admired Wei Shihao's ability very much and directly handed him the main forward position.
Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. This sentence is equally applicable to Wei Shihao. Wei Shihao broke out in many games after Jankovic became the main forward of the national football team. In the first round of the World Cup preliminaries between the national football team and Thailand, Wei Shihao became the most threatening player on the field. Wei Shihao passed a wonderful pass to his big brother Wu Lei, and Wu Lei risked injury to score the ball.
Wei Shihao's eye-catching performance revitalized the national football team's offense in one fell swoop, and also helped the national football team defeat their opponent Thailand 2-1, ushering in their first victory in the 2026 World Preliminaries. Wei Shihao was in particularly good condition before the start of this Asian Cup. He also scored a very beautiful volley when participating in the national football training. Who would have thought that Wei Shihao would be troubled by injuries as soon as the Asian Cup in Qatar started, and did not play a minute in the first two group matches. As the core of the national football team, Wei Shihao is unable to play, and the impact on the national team's offense is self-evident.
Without Wei Shihao in the frontcourt of the national football team, they couldn't even organize a decent offense. Therefore, the national football team played two group matches and failed to score a single goal. Many fans eagerly hope that Wei Shihao can come back and solve the national football team's chronic problem of weak forwards. Wei Shihao himself also has a strong desire to compete in the Asian Cup. He was selected for the 23-man national football team as early as the 2019 Asian Cup. As a result, Wei Shihao encountered the injury curse and was in a state of recuperation in the Asian Cup. He did not even get the chance to play as a substitute. Therefore, Wei Shihao hopes that this Asian Cup in Qatar can make up for this regret as soon as possible.
In the end, after Wei Shihao meets the conditions for a comeback, whether he will appear as a starter or stay on the bench depends on what Jankovic thinks. The national football team's last group match opponent was the host Qatar. Qatar performed well in the first two group matches and has won consecutive games to qualify for the top 16. Therefore, Qatar will use the substitute lineup in the last game against the national football team. This means that Qatar's defensive strength will decline, which just gives Wei Shihao a chance to perform. Wei Shihao can use his excellent assault ability to take the lead in breaking through Qatar's defense, thereby helping the national football team defeat Qatar and successfully qualify from the group stage.
