He began playing football at the age of 13 and a half, and won the Asian Cup with the Chinese team at the age of 32. Wang Shanshan's football path is both enviable and unknown hardship.

[1] Volleyball first and then football, the hard work of counterattacking the road
Similar to the reversal miracle staged by the women's football team, Wang Shanshan's football road can also be called a counterattack.
At first, Wang Shanshan studied volleyball, and it was not until she entered junior high school that she began to play football.
"Because of her height, Shanshan's development in volleyball will have some restrictions." Wang Shanshan's enlightenment coach Geng Hongjie said that he did not want to let such a good sports seedling be buried, plus Wang Shanshan also has potential in football projects, so he did work for her parents and recommended her to Luoyang Football School.

At this time, Wang Shanshan is already 13 and a half years old, such an age, in fact, has passed the best age for football training. "This also means that Shanshan will have to pay more efforts from others to have today's results." Geng Hongjie said.
In this regard, Wang Shanshan's father, Wang Ruijin, has a personal experience. "After the girl entered the football team, she only went home for three or five days during the New Year every year, so she still didn't forget to train." Wang Ruijin said, "Now when I come back, I train in the gym for two or three hours a day, and before that time, there were few gyms, I was training with her on the street, I was riding a bicycle, and the girl was running along the street." ”

[2] Always pick faults with her, and rarely praise her
On the evening of February 6, the Chinese women's football team, of which Wang Shanshan was captained, won the Asian Cup. That night, when the top news reporter of Henan Business Daily contacted Wang Ruijin, he said: "It is not easy to win, I am really happy for the girl!" Girl you are the best! The girl has worked hard! Glory for the country! ”
"Rarely praise girls, it's all encouragement. Every time she finished playing, she was asked how many goals she had scored. On February 9, when Wang Shanshan's performance in the game was mentioned again, Wang Ruijin said that he was also a sports fan and a football fan, and since 1988, he had bought a sports magazine at his own expense every year, and he also knew a little about football. And for every game for his daughter, he is not lost.
"After watching every game, I would pick a problem for her and say which point on the field was not playing well." Wang Ruijin said that it was only in the past two years that he stopped "provoking" her. Of course, for his "provocative" behavior, Wang Shanshan has also become accustomed to it and regards it as an incentive.

[3] Don't say that your heart hurts, and I hope that my daughter will "stop getting hurt" when she plays football.
Compared with her father's "prickly", Zhou Yuhua, as a mother, is the concern of the gentle wind and drizzle.
"I feel sorry for my child, and I am always afraid that my child will be hurt." Zhou Yuhua said that she often sees a piece of purple and a red piece on Wang Shanshan's leg, but her personality is strong, always reporting good news and not worrying, "knowing her hardships, every time she comes back, she thinks about what she likes to eat and what she does, sometimes the video tells her what she wants to eat and send her well, of course, it is only talking about it." ”

In fact, for Wang Shanshan's concern, Wang Ruijin only said it in his mouth.
In preparation for the Rio 2016 Olympics in the first two months, Wang Shanshan suffered a leg injury and a waterlogged knee, but she still insisted on training.
"You see she still has something on her leg." On February 9, when he saw the photo of his daughter playing on the TV screen, Wang Ruijin said, "Between the games, I saw the picture, she rested with her hands on her knees, which should be the cause of the knee water pain." ”
For his daughter's future, Wang Ruijin's thoughts, like most parents, are to hope that she can get married quickly. Of course, he also respected his daughter's wishes.
"If the physical condition is OK, if the national team needs it, then play again." Wang Ruijin hopes that when his daughter is playing football, "don't get hurt again, do your best, work hard for the honor of the country, and carry forward the spirit of women's football." ”
