On March 13 this year, Eddie held a wedding in Shanghai, and two days later he returned to the training ground to follow the team to prepare for the new season of the Chinese Super League in April, although he missed the honeymoon, he felt that the effort was worth it: "At that time, there was still a month before the start of the league, if you delay training." Even if it's only a week, regardless of body or state, it's hard to chase it back. ”
Eddie, who has completed the life event of marriage, whether off the field or on the field, gives people the feeling of growing up.
Oriental Sports: After the wedding, there is no time to go to the honeymoon, somewhat regrettable, right?
Eddie: Fortunately, my family understands me very well, after all, it is a special period of preparation for the league.
Oriental Sports: From "Boy Eddie" to "Man Eddie", can you feel how you have changed?
Eddie: People are solid, the heart can be calmed, and they can also pay more attention to playing football, and the big change should be some habits and responsibilities in life. Before it was by myself, the team finished training, maybe lie on the bed, look at the mobile phone to play games or something, but now as long as it is not closed training, I want to go home quickly. In the past, playing football was playing football, and I didn't think too much, but now I will think about how to play the ball well, how to play my role in the team, how to prolong my career a little, because there is a family behind you to support, and you have more responsibilities. For example, before I saw someone on the Internet criticizing me and scolding me, maybe I would get angry and think I'd worked hard, whatever they said. But now I may look at it from a different perspective, whether I have these problems that others say, if so, how to change, how to improve. Others criticize you because you are a member of the Shenhua team, and I hope you can do better in order to urge you to work harder.
Oriental Sports: As a player of "Chongming Phase I", you have entered the national junior team, you have played in the Chinese Super League in 2013, and you are optimistic about many people, but compared with those teammates who went to Shenhua and Harbor team later, you have been playing outside, and the development is not smooth, have you ever thought that if you stayed in Shanghai, your achievements might be higher than now?
Eddie: There is no way to assume this, and no matter what kind of experience, it may be for you to experience in life, the key is to look at the mentality. Over the years, I have been to many teams, including later in Shenhua, played the main force, also played the substitute, the center-back, left-back and right-back have played, but also played the back, sometimes I also think, does this show that I am not strong enough in which position? No way, people's ideas are sometimes so contradictory (laughs), especially when you lack confidence and feel that everything is wrong. In fact, instead of caring about what others think of you, you should try to improve yourself, do the best within the scope of your ability, at least when the opportunity comes, not to be unprepared, just like others think that my physical fitness is innately good, but if I don't practice well, I will definitely not be able to keep up, and this reason must be on my own. I don't know how far I can go in the future, but what I can guarantee is to do a good job in training every day, play every minute of the game well, do my best, and don't leave myself regrets.
