Reporter asked: How is the attitude of the national team towards this stay in the ocean? Water guide and teammates support?
Wang Frost replied: The water guide and the Football Association have given great support, hoping that I can go out to see more. There was more reluctance between my teammates and I. The whole team came to see me off, and Wu Haiyan even cried. I didn't want to cry, but in the end my eyes were red. The water guide explained some of my daily life, let me take good care of themselves, and in the technical and tactical aspects of some of the precautions, I feel that he is still quite uneasy.
Reporter Q: Adapting to a new team and a new environment?
Wang Frost A: As of now, I have met my new coach and teammates, and they are all very enthusiastic. If I encounter problems in life, I can always ask them for help. This time I went abroad, I participated in the Alipay and the FA's Staying Abroad Support Program, and started an online English course two months before I went abroad. The team also prepared an independent apartment for us, which is very close to the stadium and the playing field. In the past two days I am slowly familiarizing myself with my new environment and my teammates are taking me to familiarize myself with my surroundings.
