He may not be the most talented one in Guoan Team, and he may not be the one most loved by fans, but he is definitely the one who fought most after entering the game, which is beyond doubt. In this round's game against Meizhou Hakka, the versatile winger in No. 18 jersey scored his first goal of the season. After scoring, Fang Hao celebrated and enjoyed his moment. It should be said or not, the age of 24 is no longer young, but in the second year of the team, everyone has the feeling that Fang Hao has grown up, improved and raised the ball.
Speaking of Fang Hao, I believe that most Guoan fans know his name from the beginning when he scored the fourth high in the national youth competition. Maybe nobody expected that Fang Hao, who is not particularly famous for the Dubai Cup, could "achieve" four goals in a row, but although he was brilliant in the national championship, his development in the domestic arena was not as expected, After a disappointing 2022 season, Fang Hao chose to leave his hometown team Taishan, Shandong.
Fang Hao, who came to Beijing last year, was once considered to be the most popular player on the sidelines, but unfortunately, this young man who seemed to be full of strength every time he entered the arena lacked some brains. In the words of the coach, the boy had not yet got the hang of it. "You can see from his running route that this kid can't turn, which needs to be practiced." This was the most common comment made by the members of the coaching team when commenting on Fang Hao at that time. The impact is enough, but the lack of football wisdom once became the key to restrict Fang Hao's rise and development.
Fortunately, young Fang Hao didn't make everyone wait too long, so he learned to "think" and "turn". In fact, at some warm-up matches at the beginning of last year and at the beginning of the season, people gradually found that Fang Hao would no longer just bow his head and run fiercely, but would look up to find his teammates. He would no longer just speed up straight to the opponent's baseline, but would also run a broken line to confuse the opponent's route and rhythm. Perhaps because of these changes, he still got more than one starting opportunity when the team introduced Lin Liangming and renewed Yang Liyu, which shows that his improvement coaching team saw and recognized.
In fact, people who know Fang Hao will agree with this point of view, that is, he is a serious child, he will consider many things, but also very concerned about some people and things. After experiencing some special moments of last season, his relationship with the fans has become closer, and he can better understand the care and love of the fans for him. Whenever there are fan activities, Fang Hao will definitely take an active part in them. At some specific time nodes and critical moments, Guo'an 18th will also express his gratitude to the fans and all that this city has brought to him through various ways.
From this point of view, he has grown up, improved, and increased. What is even more gratifying is that young Fang Hao still keeps his innocence and efforts while making progress. It can't be said that he is the first one to come to the training ground and the last one to leave, but he must be one of the most hardworking people on the field. "I'll try my best to do what the coach asks me to do, and I'm always ready." This is Fang Hao's opening words in almost every interview. At the beginning, he thought he was a polite remark, but people who watched his game knew that whether it was the first team or the substitute, whether he played well or played poorly, Fang Hao never lagged behind when it came to playing "hard".
Because of such attitude and performance, it is no wonder that the head coach will prefer such athletes. Who doesn't like a young man who listens to the arrangement of troops and gives 100% after entering the arena? What's more, he can often bring you different surprises. The fans are actually very pure. As long as you work hard for the Beijing Guoan team, you will be recognized by everyone. Fang Hao is also like this. He is not a child from the Beijing Youth Training School, and even some unpleasant things happened once. But with everyone's recognition of Fang Hao himself, he will still shout his name when the work sports team thanks after the game, Cheer for him.
Fang Hao is no different from his peers in life. He is willing to pick up his mobile phone to record his training and game details, and will also go to the BAIC men's basketball team to support the CBA team in the same city. Maybe he has gradually regarded this place as his second hometown, although this is his second season in Beijing Guo'an, and this is also his second year in Beijing, However, the "brand" of Beijing on his body is deepening a little bit. This "new Beijing man" is being accepted and recognized by more and more people.
In the 11th round of the league, Fang Hao made five starts for eight times, of which the number of starts exceeded the total number of starts of the whole season last year. This is enough to show that the 24-year-old is really making progress, making himself better and helping Beijing Guoan Team in more dimensions.
