In the reporter's impression, interviewing Tan Wangsong is a difficult thing. At least in the years that reporters have followed the Tianjin Teda team, Tan Wangsong has hardly given any media interviews. However, when he joined tianjin Teda Yili team for the second time, and even an official announcement, Tan Wangsong had already opened his heart. In his words, "Anything can be asked, there are no taboos." From the statement signed in 2006 that "I will retire without joining Tianjin TEDA", to the time when I may really leave the last stop to TEDA now, a full decade has passed. Today's Tan Wangsong is less hot and more indifferent. Those years of ups and downs and even smear and insults, in his mouth, are already understated.
"I didn't even think that I would be able to come back after I left because of that incident." Until now, when Tan Wangsong talked about returning to TEDA, there was still a hint of incredulity in his tone. "After all, Tianjin TEDA Club is a state-owned enterprise club, so when the club leaders found me, I was very surprised. In addition, it is to sigh from the depths of the heart. I came together with TEDA Club in 2006 and it's been a full decade since I've been here after so many things. It is really a coincidence of chance in the world. Tan Wangsong told reporters that after leaving the Tianjin Teda team, he had a good life in Henan and Chongqing. The owners of both clubs are very reputable and generally smooth. "I was quite comfortable with that kind of life, simply playing football, living a plain life, and then suddenly passing the age of thirty."
Tan Wangsong himself did not think that he would return to Tianjin, but perhaps it was providence in the darkness, and he had not sold the house he had bought in Aocheng, and he had not even rented it out over the years. In the words of Tan Wangsong, "I don't want others to 'curse', so I haven't rented it out." "However, now Tan Wangsong is already dragging his family with his mouth." Back in Tianjin, you need to rent a bigger house. As for buying a house, forget it. "Tianjin house prices are too expensive. When I bought that house, it was more than 10,000 per square meter, and now it is more than 40,000. Before returning to the team, Tan Wangsong once returned to Tianjin to sign a contract. He confessed that after a few years of leaving, the memory is still there. The appearance of Tianjin has changed slightly, but it is still very familiar from the heart. "I have a lot of friends in Tianjin, go back for a while, the road is familiar with it, there will be no problem at all." Tan Wangsong said.
When it was decided to return to the Tianjin Teda Yili team, Tan Wangsong was a little nervous, and he even imagined the scene when he reported to the team countless times. "How do I say hello when I meet my former teammates? What will they say to me? Can we still make fun of each other like before? "In fact, many people have the same concerns as Tan Wangsong. To be precise, everyone is concerned about what the relationship between Tan Wangsong and Cao Yang will be like. "When I went to Australia that day to report to the team, the whole team was eating. I remember that Brother Cao and I were greeting each other at the same time. Everyone greeted each other, and he asked when I arrived, which was simple. In fact, you don't have to dwell on this problem. Indeed, in the daily training and daily life of the Tianjin Teda Yili team, Tan Wangsong and Cao Yang will still talk and laugh, and the relationship has never been as "deep and hot" as the outside world imagines. Tan Wangsong said: "Actually, I didn't mind too much about what others did. Everyone has their own ideas and their own perspectives on the problem. I just make my own decisions, and other people's decisions should be more understood. In this lifetime, people are not a big deal in the past. When the reporter asked Tan Wangsong how he would choose if the time went back, from the statement to what happened later, Tan Wangsong thought about it and said: "Back in that year, I was still in my twenties, I should still have the same choice." What is in the bones cannot be changed. ”
What makes Tan Wangsong happy is that when he re-entered the big family of Tianjin Teda Yili Team, everything happened naturally. The maladaptation he feared did not happen at all. "Integration is very fast, much faster than the integration of a new team," he said. "In addition, there are also small Sichuan compatriots like Li Yuanyi and Zhou Qiming in the team at present." This time I came back to chat with them to learn that many of them came to Tianjin TEDA Club very early, saying that when we played at the TEDA Football Stadium, we also picked up the ball as a caddie. It's interesting to think about it now. ”
In Tan Wangsong's career, there are two actions that push him to the cusp of the storm. These two actions also made Tan Wangsong still deeply impressed, so deep that he could easily recall the actions of the people around him at that time. "That action at the Beijing Olympics, when Jiang Ning and the player were squeezing in place, the ball jumped in front of them. At that time, I admitted that I was in a hurry, because a previous goal was related to me. So I wanted to take the ball down quickly. Seeing Jiang Ning squeezing each other, I wanted to save time and jump up and pull the ball over. Unexpectedly, at that time, Jiang Ning flashed away, and the other party flicked the ball over, but at that time I had already jumped up, although I had a consciousness of recovering my legs, but it was too late. Then step on the base of the other person's thigh. Tan Wangsong said. After the game, Tan Wangsong watched the game video for the first time. Tan Wangsong said: "If I am not a party, if I see this action, I will also think that it is deliberate." Therefore, in the days when bad comments and spoofs poured in, Tan Wangsong did not say a word to the public. He knew that the action made him unable to explain. Perhaps the more you explain, the more criticism there is. Only sometimes when communicating with teammates, Tan Wangsong will tell the situation at that time. He said: "If I deliberately hurt people, my heart will definitely not go away, but I know what I thought at that time." ”
Another action was the foul on Yang Zhi in the 2009 "Beijing-Tianjin Derby". Tan Wangsong recalled: "At that time, the game was almost over and we were behind. There was a chance at the end and I dipped diagonally into the penalty area. I couldn't reach it at the time, so I had to slide out. Yang Zhi attacked at that time, I wanted to block in front of him to hold the ball, when the ball has been bouncing, he also attacked relatively fast, and we both hung up after that. Tan Wangsong admitted that this action is the same as the action at the Beijing Olympic Games, and no one can say anything. So I haven't explained it myself. He said: "The person who knows you is the person who knows you after all, and I will not force others to identify with me." ”
Over the years, even if Tan Wangsong came to the "Water Drops" stadium as a away player, he would still be welcomed by Tianjin fans. When the reporter asked him what kind of welcome he hoped to get from the fans when he returned to the home stadium, Tan Wangsong's answer was surprising. "I don't like it very much, I'm even a little scared. I don't like to be exposed to the outside world, I don't like to interact with the fans, and I don't have self-media or anything. Maybe it has something to do with personality, I prefer to be quiet. Everything works fine. Tan Wangsong said, "I am afraid that others will play the 'emotional card', then I may be stressed." "Tan Wangsong is a Sagittarius, he said that when he is fine, he will compare the personality of the constellation, and the more he looks at it, the more he feels that his personality is on the right line with Sagittarius." I'm not an easy person to accept others and have a bit of a strong desire for self-preservation. It takes time to be friends with me. This is very similar to Sagittarius's personality, and of course it has something to do with my experience over the years. The more I experienced this, the more I felt that I should encounter someone. ”
When Tan Wangsong returned to Tianjin again, the gunpowder smell of the "Beijing-Tianjin Derby" had dissipated, and the "Tianjin Derby" became a topic of concern to the outside world. When it comes to the "Tianjin Derby", Tan Wangsong's views are very calm. "Two top teams are in Tianjin, which is a good thing for Tianjin football. There's nothing wrong with everyone supporting each other's team, but I think the angle and pattern should be amplified. This means that Tianjin football is getting stronger and stronger, and it is not interesting to always render old and dead without contact. It's like when you meet a Chinese when you're alone abroad, you don't ask him where he is, it just feels very kind. So the question of 'derby' depends on the height and angle you understand. When the reporter told Tan Wangsong that these words came out of his mouth, which was a bit surprising, Tan Wangsong smiled and said: "So many years, so many things have been experienced, and now that I am older, starting a family has an impact on myself." A man grows up and has a greater inner capacity. When I encounter some things, my heart will be broader, and this may be my biggest change. ”
