Referee Xing Qi 3 whistles, Shandong Taishan and Hebei team game announced the end, 2-0 score let them three rounds ahead of the season to win the Chinese Super League championship this season. This is also the taishan team's second time to reach the top of the Chinese Super League after 11 years. In the crowd of post-match carnival, Wang Dalei, who has always been a personality, snatched the ball from the referee for the first time and held it firmly in his arms, and in the interview afterwards, the 32-year-old tough guy could not help but burst into tears, because this was the first Chinese Super League championship trophy in his career. In his 8 seasons with The Taishan, he has won only 2 FA Cups and 1 Super Cup.
As one of the few talented goalkeepers in Chinese football, Wang Dalei has already represented Shanghai Liancheng in the Chinese Super League at the age of 17, and he has also performed very well in Shenhua since then. However, due to the serious financial difficulties encountered by Shenhua at that time, before the start of the 2014 Chinese Super League, Wang Dalei and Dai Lin were packaged and sent to Shandong Luneng at that time, and began his orange career.
In the first year of joining Luneng, Wang Dalei led the team to win the FA Cup as the captain, and his flamboyant personality also injected passion and iron blood into the Luneng backline. Of course, as a game-type goalkeeper, Dalei's unstable performance flaws have also made picky Luneng fans have some doubts about him. Of course, when Luneng suffered a serious relegation crisis in the 2016 season, it was still Wang Dalei who took the lead in coming forward. When the team needed points the most, he defended the backline with one heroic save after another. In the away challenge to Beijing Guoan, Luneng was sent off in the first half, but Wang Dalei was a passer, not only bravely saved Ilmaz's penalty, but also defused the opponent's attack again and again, and finally waited for Montillo's penalty kill, Luneng also won 2-1, and got a valuable 3 points on the relegation road.
After experiencing the horror of relegation, the Taishan team completely withdrew from the armament race of gold dollar football and began to dig deep into the potential of the team and silently accumulate strength. In the following seasons, although their record is also very good, there is still a certain gap between them and the Chinese Super League champions. As he grew older, injuries also began to plague Dalei, and with the rise of substitute goalkeeper Han Rongze, he not only had the position of the main goalkeeper threatened, but also once reported the news of returning to Shenhua.
However, Da Lei not only eventually stayed in the Taishan team, but also regained the trust of Hao Wei this season and continued to occupy the position of the main goalkeeper of the Taishan team. In the first stage of the team, Guangzhou team led the standings, and the great thunder was indispensable. In this game, the Hebei team once had a very threatening two-shot combo, but they were all defused by Wang Dalei, who was highly focused, and with Xu Xin's hammer, the Taishan team finally held the championship in his arms.
After 8 years of fighting, I finally realized my dream of winning the Chinese Super League, and it is no wonder that Da Lei will burst into tears. However, as early as the 2008 season, he had the opportunity to touch the Chinese Super League championship trophy and also won the championship for more than 70 minutes. And what shattered his dream of winning the first Chinese Super League championship was precisely the current old owner Shandong Taishan team.
In the 2008 Chinese Super League, Shandong Taishan and Shanghai Shenhua staged a wonderful Luhu competition, until the last round of matches, the point gap between the two sides was only 2 points. In the final round, Luneng played at home against Guangzhou Guangyao, while Shenhua played at home against Zhejiang Greentown. In that game, Shenhua was pushed by young player Tan Yang in the 76th minute with a kick to tie the score in the 2-1 lead, and finally forced a 2-2 draw with Greentown. This result allowed Luneng, who was also forced to draw by Guangyao in another game, to win the championship.
That season, Wang Dalei played 22 games in the Chinese Super League as the main goalkeeper of Shenhua, 7 times with clean sheets, and performed very well. For him, who was only 19 years old at the time, the championship seemed to be a matter of time or night. But unexpectedly, this wait is a full 13 years. But the good news is that Da Lei has successfully renewed his contract with Taishan, and his Chinese Super League champion will definitely not be the only one.
