There were several discussions within the association about early national team selection, but since he is still young, the prevailing opinion was to let him fully experience the growth process and gain international stage experience. It wasn't because he lacked skill, but because he was such a precious player that they wanted to protect him more carefully. Everyone in the association shared the same thought. 'This child might one day swallow the world whole.' 'Later on, there might truly be no player who can beat that kid.'
