In an interview with the media, Wang Dalei once again expressed his sincere apologies to the fans. He said, "Four consecutive matches against Yokohama Mariners ended in a loss, which undoubtedly exposed the gap between our strengths and those of our opponents, for which we feel deeply guilty and apologize to the fans." It is obvious to all that there is a real difference in the pace of play between the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League. Choi Kang-hee's tactical strategy still has a positive effect on us, and although we may have the upper hand in the Chinese Super League, we are no strangers to the tactical layout of Japanese and Korean teams in the AFC Champions League."
In the face of Wang Dalei's apology, fans have expressed affirmation and understanding. In this game, Wang Dalei is undoubtedly one of the few players in the Shandong team with eye-catching performance. Throughout the game, he completed 6 key saves with his excellent aerials and decisive saves. Had he not saved the day in front of the goal line, the difference in score between the two teams would never have been just one goal."
The outstanding performance of Wang Dalei has been successfully selected for the national football team coached by Ivankovic, and he is expected to replace Yan Junling as the main goalkeeper of the Chinese men's football team in the World Cup qualifiers in the future!
