Shao Jiayi’s China National Team List Disappoints: 25-Year-Old “Chinese Super League Interception King” Again Misses Out on National Team Selection!

The new China national team squad has been announced. While the selections of young talents such as Zhao Songyuan, Bunyamin, and Wang Gengrui have brought some surprises, there are also some disappointing aspects. Among them, the most unexpected omission is undoubtedly Dalian Yingbo’s Lv Zhuoyi, which has left many fans feeling regretful. From three perspectives, Lv Zhuoyi is fully qualified to become a member of the national team.

First, the 25-year-old Lv Zhuoyi has produced outstanding statistics this season. He has not only scored 2 goals and provided 1 assist, but has also topped the Chinese Super League interception rankings with 48 interceptions. In particular, against Shenzhen Xinpengcheng, he impressively completed 6 interceptions in a single match. Last season, he won the title of Chinese Super League Interception King. It can be said that his consistently excellent attacking and defensive performances over two consecutive seasons, including finishing second in the tackles rankings last season and remaining within the top five this season, fully demonstrate that he deserves a chance with the national team.

Second, Dalian Yingbo’s results this season are at an all-time high, with the team currently sitting second in the Chinese Super League standings, and this has been made possible by the strong performances of the club’s domestic players. Lv Zhuoyi’s fighting spirit and physical condition on the pitch have been outstanding. He gives his all in almost every match and has become the team’s “Chinese Super League ironman.” He ranks first in playing time for Dalian Yingbo, and his physical qualities clearly stand out among domestic players, which aligns with Shao Jiayi’s needs.

Finally, Lv Zhuoyi has a strong desire to represent his country. In an interview, he expressed his dream of helping China reach the World Cup, and said that he hopes to continue his professional career in Spain in the future. He is a young player with strong ambitions and should receive more opportunities.

For this selection, Dalian Yingbo only had 19-year-old Yang Mingrui and 21-year-old Mao Weijie selected for the two national teams. In comparison, having only two players from the second-placed team in the Chinese Super League selected does seem quite limited. Among them, Lv Zhuoyi’s failure to make the squad is considered even more regrettable.
