The reporter team of this newspaper jointly reported In a recent interview, former Changchun Yatai foreign aid Adrian mentioned that he had experienced match-fixing in the Chinese Super League in the past, and said that his defender teammates "sent out handballs like Superman" at the last moment. As a result, the team was awarded a penalty. These remarks made people connect the protagonist of the incident with Wang Shouting, who played on loan at Yatai during the 2018 season.
The reporter team of this newspaper also contacted Wang Shouting at the first time. This midfielder from Shide Echelon and played for many Chinese Super League teams has now begun to transform into a coach. He refused to remain silent in response to the suspicions from the outside world. In his opinion, , because he was too close to Augusto who was competing for the top spot, the handball foul was a passive touch after he failed to fight for the first landing point. It was reasonable to be called a penalty kick, but he had no intention of actively touching the ball. Regarding the half-season on loan in Changchun, Wang Shouting believed that he had contributed to the team, had a clear conscience, and had not done anything to regret the club.
◆ "Football": Let me introduce you to your current situation
Wang Shouting: "I have transitioned to coaching this year. I have been a player and coach in Shanghai Jiading Huilong for the past two years, but starting this year I officially transitioned to an assistant. Coach, now he has been working as an assistant coach for the first team of Shanghai Jiading Huilong Team. "
◆ "Football": Were you loaned to Changchun Yatai that year?
Wang Shouting: "Yes, because the league had a u23 policy at that time, I had fewer opportunities to play in Shenhua, so I was loaned to Shenxin in the first half of the year, and then to Changchun in the second half of the year."
◆ "Football": That game Is this your first game back after suffering a serious injury?
Wang Shouting: "Yes, I was recuperating at home for more than two months. The doctor did not allow me to exercise strenuously because my kidneys were bleeding. I was knocked unconscious and fell to the ground. At home I returned to the team after recuperating for more than two months. The game against Guoan was my first game after returning to the team. "At that time, there were about 4 or 5 main players in our team who couldn't play, and we didn't have enough manpower. , At that time, I was not fully recovered to the game, and I still went to the away game with the team. In the second half of that game, we led 1-0. At more than 80 minutes, our foreign central defender. I was injured, but when I looked at the bench, there was no one to replace, so I had to be replaced, and I was ordered to play the central defender position. "
◆ "Football": Did you see Adrian's speech this afternoon? Regarding the penalty kick involved in that game, can you review the scene at that time?
Wang Shouting: "I usually play as a defensive midfielder. This position is not a position I am familiar with. At that time, I stood at the front point and used a positional defense strategy. Someone was watching Augusto at the time. I forgot who was watching. But the moment the corner kick came out, I saw that Augusto had broken away from the defense and was able to hit the ball. My first reaction was to go up and fight for the first spot, but the moment I jumped up, I realized. It was too late, Augusto's header had already been shot. We were very close. Anyone who has played football can understand that when the ball is very close to you, and it is coming towards my face. , I instinctively entered a state of hiding the ball, and the ball did hit my hand. At that time, the referee hesitated and finally whistled a penalty "
" If this ball is based on football rules, it is. There is no problem with penalty kicks. After all, my hands have expanded the defensive range, but my instinctive reaction at the time was to protect my face. Because I had just returned from a serious injury at the time, I was a little shadowed by the collision, so the ball was not like What was circulated on the Internet, including some malicious GIFs made by some people, seemed to be my hand actively touching the ball, but in fact it was not. It was Augusto's header that hit my hand. The ball's The running direction is towards the goal. I actively touched the ball with my hand and Augusto's header hit my hand are two different concepts, which are issues of principle."
" At that time, our original intention of going to Beijing for this game was to avoid relegation. As long as we can take away one point from the Workers' Stadium, we will have completed the task. At that time, Beijing Guoan faced a semi-main lineup like ours and wanted to win with all its strength. All draws were not a good ending for the two clubs. "
◆ "Football": The biggest controversy outside is that your action of raising your hand seems a bit deliberate.
Wang Shouting: "You can go and watch the game video. I actually avoided the ball out of instinct. But I did raise my arm, because if you think about it, Augusto and I were very close at that time, maybe less than one meter apart. He got a header, and then the ball ran towards my face. When it came, I instinctively turned and avoided, but the ball did hit my hand. It didn't mean that I actively touched the ball, but that I touched the ball passively, and the ball hit my hand. "
" I immediately wanted to fight for the first spot, but I found that I was already half a beat too late. Augusto had already reached this point, so I was too late. Because I was very close to Augusto, and the moment he headed the ball, I turned my head to avoid it, and my arms did rise, expanding the defensive range. The same was true for the penalty kick at that time. It's reasonable, but I didn't actively touch the ball with my hands, but passively. "
◆ "Football": What do you think of the issue that Adrian mentioned in the interview that some players in China engage in match-fixing?
Wang Shouting: "First of all, I don't know what Adrian said. Is there any evidence? It’s not convenient for me to judge others. I can only say that from my personal point of view, I did not feel sorry for Changchun Yatai Club. I did not do anything to feel sorry for Changchun Yatai Club. All the management of Changchun Yatai at that time, Some players who have experienced this game are now on the team. You can check with the club for confirmation. "
" Moreover, I also experienced injuries after arriving in Changchun Yatai, and I contributed to Changchun football. Although I was not successful in relegation in the end, I have a clear conscience. I have not done anything to regret Changchun. I am upright and not afraid of the shadow. , nor am I afraid of any form of investigation. If you have any questions, whether it's for verification or investigation, I can stand up and check with you. "
" I believe that the current leadership of Changchun Yatai Club will not have any objection to my words. Because after this incident came out, we also communicated and the leadership completely trusted me. So I don’t think the truth of this matter is as spread by the outside world. If I don’t come out and say a few words, this matter may change. If I tell a lie 100 times, it may become the truth. So I must stand up now. Come out and say a few words and explain the ins and outs of this matter clearly. "
