On June 1, Wang Shangyuan was interviewed by CCTV Football Night. Wang Shangyuan talked about the differences between the Chinese Super League and the national team, as well as his responsibilities as captain.
Talking about accompanying children
Wang Shangyuan: I literally don't see it all day when I wake up in the morning to make deliveries. Besides, it's still my normal time at home. If I'm out and about, I might not see it for a week or two. We're basically in this rhythm all year, so I still cherish it.
Talk about a third straight Henan League loss
Wang Shangyuan: I happened to have a tactical board in front of me and I pushed it over. But I think it was just an emotional outburst on my part. After all, I felt very uncomfortable at the end of the game and lost three times in a row. Sometimes, as a captain, a lot of times, we should do well first, and then at some particular point in time, we need some physical expression to awaken everyone's fighting spirit. After all, we've lost three times in a row. Maybe this method isn't the most appropriate, but my original intention was for you to have more courage to fight.
Talking about captain's responsibilities
There is a saying that when you lose your next game, it is always your best chance to prove yourself. Therefore, we cannot afford to lose our indomitable heart and competitiveness when you make mistakes. Captaincy is not earned with your words, but with your actions. Whether it's everyone's trust in you or their reliance on you, especially when the team is in trouble. It is at this point that the captain needs to rally everyone and go the extra mile for his teammates on the field the most. This is what a captain must do.
Talk about switching from home to club and from club to national team
Wang Shangyuan: Supposedly switching could be because you've mastered a lot of different things and can do them well enough to switch at any time, but that's not the case. I think we need to adapt to every new requirement or a new coaching staff brings something new and try to fulfill that requirement.
Talking about thank yous in a different context
Wang Shangyuan: I believe winning is the happiest. The biggest feeling I have after winning is pride and fulfillment. Winning in the presence of so many people is a lifetime pursuit for many players. If you keep winning in a row, you must be looking forward to the thanksgiving. If you lose consecutively, you feel bad for everyone. There's a big difference in your heart. If cognitive consensus is reached, we can understand each other. When we played the thank-you game against Korea, we reached a consensus. I did my best on the pitch. Regardless of the result, we conceded a penalty kick right off the bat. Most of the time, what fans may not understand is that when perceptions are not aligned, fans think why are you working so hard
