In the 20th round of the Chinese Super League on the evening of July 26th, Shenzhen Xinpengcheng won a key victory over Beijing Guoan with a 1-0 win at home. After the match, the outstanding goalkeeper Wei Strider Zhe was interviewed by reporters, sharing his feelings about the match, his personal journey and his views on the team's relegation situation.
Talking about the outstanding performance against Guoan, Wei Strider Zhe looked very humble: "I did make some saves in this game, but I feel there is still an element of luck. Some of the shots from the other team were right on my body, which gave me a chance to react. Overall, you need to give your best and stay focused in every game."
On how he feels about coming to the new Pengcheng, Wei Strider said, "Whether it's in Sanzhen or Shenzhen, I've been preparing seriously. For me, every time I play on the field is an opportunity, I cherish every chance to play and hope to have a good performance. Every game is valuable and I will give my best."
When asked how he felt when the Shenzhen fans chanted his name after completing the save, Wei Strider broke into a smile: "I feel very happy to be back in Shenzhen. I've been in this city for four years and I have a deep affection for it. Hearing the fans shouting my name makes me even more determined to contribute to the city of Shenzhen."
Regarding his dissatisfaction with his performance after the last game, Wei Strider did not give a direct rating this time, but said, "It's a bit hard to answer. Every game is a new start and I hope to keep up the good form and keep contributing to the team. The rating is not the most important thing, the important thing is that we can win game after game."
Finally, talking about the team's current relegation situation, Wei Strider said, "Winning or losing a game now can have a big impact on the ranking. We need to keep working hard to get more points. Of course, the whole team is very confident that we will succeed in relegation. Next, we need to prepare well for every game, play steadily and fight for every win."
