Who is the bright pearl of Chinese women's soccer? The answer is none other than Wang Frost. She is known as the "C Luo" of Chinese women's soccer and is undoubtedly the leader of the national team. Recalling that moment in Gusu Olympic Sports Center not long ago, fans all over the country were excited. In the Tokyo Olympics women's soccer qualifying round of the second round of the competition, facing the strength of the South Korean women's soccer team, China's women's soccer team in the halftime trailing two goals in an unfavorable situation, it is Wang Frost stepped forward.
In the second half, with the introduction of high center forward Yang Man, Wang Shuang gained more space. In a free kick attack, she sent a precise pass, Yang Man easily broke the goal, equalizing the score to 1:2. Finally, the total score was 3:3, and the two sides went into overtime. In the overtime, Wang Frost showed her killer character again, with a shot that made the men's soccer players feel ashamed of themselves, shooting the ball into the corner of the net, helping China's women's soccer team to complete the reversal. In the end, China's women's soccer team defeated Korea's women's soccer team by 4:3, successfully advancing to the Tokyo Olympics.
In this crucial game, Wang Frost was the only one to score two goals, and she deserves a lot of credit. However, the story behind this stadium heroine is equally fascinating.
The Korean women's soccer team has a number of players playing in European leagues, including Ji Xiaoran, who is a core player of the English Premier League giants. Looking at the Korean women's soccer team's overseas players, our fans can't help but feel sorry for Wang Frost, the only one in our country who plays in the European league, to return home. Many are asking whether Wang Frost and other women's soccer players can once again embark on the road to stay in the ocean and improve their strength. So why did Wang Frost choose to return home in the middle of her last stay?
As a matter of fact, Wang Frost's first stay in the world is a success. In 28 matches in Paris, she scored 8 goals and contributed 10 assists, which is undoubtedly a commendable statistic for our men's soccer players. However, behind this dazzling data is Wang Frost's heartbreaking memories.
At the time, Wang Frost's return to China was considered by many media and fans to be influenced by the National Football Association (NFA) and its management and head coach Jia Xiuquan, who asked her to return to China to prepare for the national team tournaments. But what is the actual situation? Wang Frost herself said: "Many people think that I was forced by the national team to return to China, but in fact this is not the case, everything is my own decision. For me, the hardship of traveling to Europe is far from being as glamorous as it seems. I neither value money nor am I afraid of suffering.
But I couldn't stand the feeling of disrespect and loneliness that kept me from finding the best version of myself, so I decided to go back to my home country to play for the national team.
"Before deciding to leave Europe, Wang Frost communicated with national team head coach Jia Xiujuan
Jia Xiuquan, on the other hand, advised her to stay in Europe to receive higher level coaching and further improve her abilities.
However, Wang Frost insisted on returning home. Talking about her stay in the past, she shared an example, saying that during her time playing in Paris, there was no interpreter and communication with the head coach and teammates was all about guesswork. "One morning training, before the start of the training the head coach said that after the training everyone would first go to shower and change clothes, and then collectively go to the restaurant to eat. But for some reason, when the training was summarized, the coach temporarily changed his mind and informed everyone to take a shower first, then have a meeting, and then finally go to eat."
"So when I went to the cafeteria first, as is my usual rule and custom, it turned out to be just me, and I waited a long time for the rest of my teammates to show up.
I can't forget now the contemptuous looks they gave me when they saw me waiting alone in the cafeteria.
The implication of the words should be that I'm such an adult that I can't even understand the head coach's request to come and eat first on my own as if I haven't eaten!"
From Wang Frost's words, we can see that she did receive some unfair treatment during her time in Paris. Despite her outstanding performance, she still did not get the respect she deserved. This is exactly why Wang Frost insisted on returning to her home country, as she felt that she wanted to spend a long time bonding with the national team and finding a better version of herself than whether or not she was successful in her personal stay.
