Live Broadcast, July 24th: After Wei Shihao was suspended for 4 games and fined 40,000 by the Football Association for deliberately kicking Deng Hanwen down, "Qilu Evening News" published an article commenting on Wei Shihao's personality.
In the third or fourth place finals of the 2019 "China Cup", Wei Shihao tackled Uzbek player Shukurov from behind, causing the latter's right ankle to fracture. After the game, the Guangzhou team announced that Wei Shihao would be suspended for one month. At the same time, the club would decide whether to expel Wei Shihao based on his review and reflection.
In the 15th round of the 2023 Chinese Super League, Wei Shihao protested to the referee Ma Ning on the bench, accompanied by insults. Afterwards, the Chinese Football Association issued him a heavy fine of suspension for 6 games and a fine of 60,000 yuan. In the same year, Wei Shihao was sent off for kicking an opponent in the head in the AFC Champions League. After the game, he was suspended for three games and fined US$1,000 by the AFC.
Controlling emotions on the court is a "required course" for professional players. The player's personality and temperament must also be within a reasonable range, especially on the premise of not harming other players. Next year, Wei Shihao will be "thirty", but he is still the "young boy" who just debuted and is always controlled by emotions.
From a competitive perspective, Wei Shihao will have no ball to play in the next month. This will inevitably affect his condition. Even if he has become a regular player of the national football team recently and has been unable to participate in official games for the past month, it is enough reason for the national football team to reject Wei Shihao.
From the perspective of team factors, national football coach Ivankovic has no reason to bring an unstable factor to the team. The national football team, which is in the "Group of Death", has a very small chance of breaking through the top 18. In this case, what Yi Shuai is pursuing is most likely the stability of the team. Wei Shihao on the court is like a time bomb. Once he "explodes", it is likely to bring unexpected difficulties to the team. Wei Shihao is a talented player that the national football team needs, and he is also a player with full personality. His personality sometimes brings a full sense of oppression to his opponents, and sometimes causes his own team a huge headache.
