In a key battle in the 18th round of the Chinese Super League, the Shanghai Tang giants Shenhua team, which is in second place in the standings, faced another traditional strong team from afar, Shandong Taishan. It was originally considered to be a close match, but it ended in a 0-6 defeat for Taishan, and even set a record for the largest domestic league defeat for Shandong since its establishment. After the game, Shandong Taishan from the management to the head coach, and then to all the players have endured widespread doubts from fans, and the goalkeeper Wang Dalei, who started as the captain on the field, was subjected to unprecedented verbal criticism.

Since the new head coach of the national football team, Ivankovic, began to lead the team, Wang Dalei, who is 35 years old, finally got rid of the embarrassing identity of the second millennium in the goalkeeper position of the national team, and successfully squeezed out Yan Junling. In the next three World Preliminary Tournament games, although he had a record of conceding goals and it was difficult to achieve a clean sheet, with the overall performance of the team and the excellent performance of opponents in the same group, the national football team finally successfully advanced to the next stage of the World Preliminary Tournament, and Wang Dalei also successfully achieved a counterattack at the end of his career.
But in the subsequent game, Wang Dalei's problems and shortcomings were once again exposed in front of fans across the country. While Yan Junling guarded the goal of the Shanghai Port team to help the team achieve 11 consecutive wins and top the standings, Wang Dalei was conceded eight goals in a row against Beijing Guoan and Shanghai Shenhua, and his proud long pass assist skills failed to help the team score even a face-saving goal.
The yellow-haired version of Wang Dalei is hard to say
Not only that, but all kinds of voices outside the stadium also made fans question Wang Dalei. First of all, there were rumors within Taishan Club that there were disagreements with Wang Dalei's team because of contract renewal issues, and then when the team dealt with conflicts such as share reform and tax refund, Wang Dalei failed to play a constructive role as the team's captain and meritorious veteran. In the last two Taishan fiascos, Wang Dalei not only took the lead in dyeing yellow hair, which greatly lowered the team's image; also scolded the opponent's fans on social media, and was evaluated by netizens as not high-style.

This series of negative factors on and off the field has directly led to Wang Dalei's bleak future in the national team. In the next stage of the World Preliminary Tournament, which is about to rekindle the flames, it is almost impossible for Ivankovic's team to use Wang Dalei who has performed so badly at the club. On the contrary, although Yan Junling has experienced a short period of hiding, his stable performance has always been able to win the trust of the previous coaches of the national team. To sum up, the 35-year-old Wang Dalei may have to go back to the old road of the national team substitute, and his national football career has also entered the countdown stage.
