Recently, veteran Chinese Super League star Wang Wei interacted warmly with his fans on social media, commenting meticulously on the talents of 19-year-old rising star Mao Weijie.
Wang Wei confessed, "Mao Weijie and 19-year-old Wu Lei have their own strengths. Although Mao Weijie is a little bit inferior in scoring, but in terms of ball control skills, he has shown his superiority. Although Mao Weijie is not as eye-catching as Wu Lei, he also has a keen sense of grabbing points. Not only does he have an indomitable fighting spirit, but his performance on the defensive end is also quite impressive, which makes him a well-rounded player. What's more, his toughness is impressive, and even though his physical condition is a bit inferior, he still dares to rise to the challenge in the confrontation."
"Mao Weijie is fully capable of being a starter in the Chinese Super League. First of all, he is in his youthful age and has the rare qualities of a Chinese player. On the one hand, he is full of confidence; on the other hand, he is skillful in dribbling and controlling the ball, which is enough for him to gain a foothold in the Chinese Super League. If he can maintain his current level, Mao Weijie is expected to become a member of the national team."
Why do I think so? Let me explain. Take Xie Wenneng for example, he has already been selected for the national team and is on the list for this call-up. Do you think there is a gap between Mao Weijie and Xie Wenneng? What is the difference between their soccer skills?
