37-year-old Wang Dalei lashes out at Taishan fans: Even after giving his all, he's still seen as an outsider! A single slip-up and he gets labeled.

On August 4, Beijing time, 37-year-old former Taishan national team goalkeeper Wang Dalei lashed out on social media at Taishan fans who had criticized him. Wang Dalei furiously said that he is always regarded as an "outsider" by Taishan fans, and if he makes even a small mistake, he gets a label attached to him.

In the screenshot, a certain Taishan fan attacked him: "Continue to play it safe and come and go as you please. Not showing up for the tax controversy, not showing up when results are bad and you'll be criticized, not showing up when the coach is unstable, not showing up when fans are getting impatient! It's okay if you don't play, we have Yu Jinyong."

In response, Wang Dalei directly and angrily retorted in the comments: "Yeah, fine, I've also seen these comments in your comment section. I understand, the general idea is that,Since I wasn't trained by Luneng, no matter how much I give here, I'm still an outsider. As long as there's one thing I don't do well, I get a label. Is this what you call 'old Shandong fans'? If I play, I'm not playing well; if I don't play, I'm avoiding all kinds of controversies and don't want to play!

This season, the 37-year-old Wang Dalei is still the starting goalkeeper for Taishan, having made 16 appearances in the league, with 2 clean sheets and 54 saves. However, in the last 3 matches, Wang Dalei did not play.

However, the 22-year-old substitute goalkeeper Yu Jinyong, who replaced Wang Dalei, has performed excellently. In the FA Cup penalty shootout, he saved 3 penalties to help Taishan advance.

In the last round of the Chinese Super League, the 2.01-meter-tall Yu Jinyong made 8 saves in a single match, including a penalty save, helping Taishan defeat the defending champions Shanghai Port. After the match, many netizens bluntly said that Taishan "no longer needs Wang Dalei."
