滬媒報道汪海健的偶像是博格巴，申花隊友親切稱他為“汪格巴”

25th of August - This month, just after celebrating his 24th birthday, Shanghai Shenhua midfielder, Wang Haijian, has been called up to the national team for the first time. The newspaper "Xin Min Evening News" reveals that his teammates have given him the nickname "Wangbappé" as his idol is French midfielder, Paul Pogba.

Wang Haijian has been carefully nurtured by the club and has developed into a first-team player, making appearances in the Chinese Super League. Alongside teammates Zhu Chenjie and Jiang Shenglong, he has gradually become a key figure in the team's defense. With the club bringing in more national team level recruits, especially in the attacking midfield position, Wang Haijian has been patiently waiting on the bench for his chance.

He has been communicating a lot with the foreign midfielder, Amdou, who has been encouraging him to maintain a high level of competitiveness. Amdou said, "You have to always be in good form, otherwise you will be left out of the starting lineup. If you can't make it into the starting lineup for now, you have to train harder and strive to earn a place."

Despite having a goal disallowed in the first round of the local derby in the league, Wang Haijian has expressed that he will not be discouraged. He is determined to move forward and prove himself through hard work.

Everyone wants to represent their country in battle, and Wang Haijian is eagerly awaiting the day when he can do so. The analysis within the circle suggests that his running ability and coverage on the field, which he has displayed in the midfield for Shanghai Shenhua, are exactly the qualities that the national team needs. Looking at the tactical philosophy of the Ivan-led national team, there is an emphasis on having a solid midfield, especially in the pivot position when transitioning from defense to attack. Wang Haijian's qualities that have been showcased at the club level align with the standards expected in the midfield.

Shanghai Shenhua head coach, Slaviša Jokanović, believes that Wang Haijian has his own advantages. He is very familiar with the diamond-shaped midfield formation, which the national team may also employ at times. Jokanović also sends his wishes to his disciple to perform well in the national team and strive to play in the starting eleven.
