In an interview with the media, he apologized to the fans for the second time. Wang Dalei said, "Losing all four matches against Yokohama Mariners only shows that we are not as strong as the other team, and for that we deeply apologize to the fans." I believe we can all see that the pace of the Chinese Super League and the Asian Championship is different. Choi Kang-hee's tactical system is still helpful to us, and while it may have a greater advantage in the Chinese Super League matches, these tactics are very familiar to Japanese and Korean teams in the AFC Champions League."
Fans have also expressed their appreciation and understanding for Wang Dalei's apology. In this game, Wang Dalei can be said to be one of the few outstanding players in Shandong's team. Throughout the game, he caught the ball high in the air to fend it off and made six key saves. If he hadn't saved his team one after another in front of the goal, the gap between the two teams would never have been just one goal.
Wang Dalei, who has been performing well, has been successfully selected for the national team coached by Ivankovic and could replace Yan Junling as the main goalkeeper of the Chinese men's soccer team in the coming World Cup qualifiers!
