Li Weifeng and Li Jinyu began in the Jianlibao period, but their personal friendship was as thin as water

Jianlibao Youth Team was an innovation of Chinese football at that time, and many of its players will grow into the backbone of the national football team in the future. However, in the early days, several players who will become famous in the future could not be successfully shortlisted. For example, Li Weifeng, Zheng Bin and Tao Wei got this coveted opportunity in the second selection in 1996.

At that time, Zhang Xiaorui was the most talented player in the first group, followed by Huang Yong. However, these two players did not realize their talents perfectly. On the contrary, the most diligent Li Tie, Li Weifeng and others have gradually reached a peak in both the club and the national team.

If you want to select the earliest idol player among these players, it is Li Jinyu. Dayu was the first person among thousands of fans at that time. In the era when the network was not developed, his name was often placed on the front page of football news. Although Big Head did not become the top of Taoism like Dayu, he quickly occupied a pivotal position in the Chinese football world through his own efforts in the future. If you want to discuss the ranking of the national football central defender, Li Weifeng should be ranked second only to Fan Zhiyi.

Normally, Li Weifeng and Li Jinyu should have a good relationship. After all, as the front line killer and the backbone of the national football team, they have neither positional competition nor many conflicts of interest. But in fact, there are few intersections between them, and they have also had many conflicts in the Chinese Super League.

As early as the first year of the CSL in 2004, Li Weifeng had pinched Dayu's neck. If Li Xiaopeng, Luneng's big brother at that time, had not stopped the dispute in time, it was hard to imagine that Dayou and Dayu would not have staged a fight on the court. In a cup match in 2009, Li Weifeng tackled Li Jinyu again. Fortunately, the referee ended this seemingly intentional foul with a yellow card.

After retirement, both of them have been engaged in football related work. Now Dayu is the head coach of Yukun, Yunnan. However, Li Weifeng, who took office as the vice president of Henan Team at the end of this year, is in crisis. Whether he will be dismissed later is still unknown. However, in any case, both of them are teaching young players with their valuable experience accumulated in their rich career and contributing their due strength to the future of Chinese football. The past enmity has already disappeared, and we only hope that our Chinese football can be improved in the future.
