Today, Chinese men's football goalkeeper Wang Dalei shared photos of the game and life on social media, and posted a review of 2024. Wang Dalei said frankly that the tragic losses of 0-6 and 0-7 gave others the opportunity to use numbers to humiliate him, but only he knew that this was the driving force for him to move forward and improve.
The original text is as follows:
The year 2024 is full of challenges and growth, and there are also many moments worth remembering. During the Asian Cup, I celebrated my birthday with the national team, and the special moments with my teammates filled my heart with a sense of responsibility and mission. During the difficult journey of the AFC Champions League knockout rounds, every game made me more convinced that this is the meaning of hard work. I am still young, and together with the boys around me, I can still surpass myself.
Returning to the starting lineup for the national team is a new beginning for me. Representing the Chinese team as captain for the first time, the honor and responsibility are worth remembering for an athlete's life. I exchanged jerseys with my good brothers in the league. The friendship and memory of that moment are also the most precious treasures in my career.
The tragic losses of 0:6 and 0:7 gave others the opportunity to use numbers to humiliate me hahaha. But only I know that this is the driving force for me to move forward and continuously improve. I will not let myself give up any dream, especially the dream of cycling, which is still burning in my heart. If I have free time, I will continue riding next year.
With two consecutive wins in the World Cup preliminaries, we gained some points, but more importantly, we gained confidence. I would also like to thank the media teachers and fans and friends. The undervalued Chinese team is under such heavy pressure. Thank you for your persistence and support off the court.
The offseason is not long, but I enjoy training and playing with my kids. This is the sport you love. What dad can do is to do his best to protect and accompany you, just like my father did to me when I was a child.
This year has been full of ups and downs and full of meaning. Thank you for having me and I look forward to the challenges ahead.
