In an interview with the media, Wang Dalei once again expressed his apologies to the fans, which is his second sincere apology. He said frankly: "face Yokohama Mariners four consecutive defeats, which undoubtedly reveals our strength and the opponent still have a gap, for which we apologize to the fans." It is not difficult to notice that the competitive rhythm of the Chinese Super League and the Asian Championship is very different. Even though Choi Kang-hee's tactical system may bring greater advantages in the Chinese Super League, these tactics are already familiar to Japanese and Korean teams in the AFC Champions League.
Fans reacted positively to Wang Dalei's apology, expressing appreciation and understanding. In this game, Wang Dalei was a bright spot in the Shandong team. He not only performed well in the air on the ball, but also completed six key saves, if not for his time and again in front of the goal line to save the team, the score gap may have long been not a goal difference.
Wang Dalei's outstanding performance made him successfully selected for the national football team coached by Ivankovic, and he is expected to replace Yan Junling as the main goalkeeper of the national football team in the World Cup qualifiers in the future!
