Club career

edit

Shanghai United

edit

Despite being only seventeen years old, Wang started his football career withShanghai United,making his debut on 11 March 2006 in a 1-1 draw againstInter Xianwhich made him the youngest professional goalkeeper in Chinese football history. He quickly made an impact within the team by establishing himself as their first-choice goalkeeper.[1]This sawSerie AsideInternazionaleinterested within him and invited him to train with them during the summer break.[2]Wang returned to Shanghai where he continued to be the club's starting goalkeeper, making 22 appearances in his debut season at the end of the 2006 season and winning theChinese Football AssociationYoung Player of the Year award.[3]

Shanghai Shenhua

edit

The following season saw Shanghai United merged withShanghai Shenhua,leading to Wang having to fight for his position as the first-choice goalkeeper for the significantly larger squad.[4]Nevertheless, at the end of the 2007 season,Premier LeaguesideManchester Citydecided to give him a trial along with several other Shanghai players.[5]While nothing came out of the trial, Wang's form significantly improved after a disappointing 2007 season and he established himself as the starting goalkeeper the following season where he saw the club narrowly miss out on the league title.[6]During the league break, Wang would once again have another trial, this time withEredivisiesidePSV Eindhoven;however, because of this certain trial, Wang missed out on the club's preseason and he lost starting role toQiu Shengjiong.With the introduction of then managerMiroslav Blaževićin the 2010 season, Wang would once again be placed as the club's first-choice goalkeeper; however, his commitments to theChinese under-23 national teamsaw him miss much of the season.

Shandong Taishan

edit

After a stellar 2013 season, Wang transferred to fellowChinese Super LeaguesideShandong Lunengon 1 January 2014. He made his debut for the club on 7 March 2014 in a 1-0 win againstHarbin Yiteng.He won the2014 Chinese FA Cupwith Shandong and was awarded with the Chinese Football Association Goalkeeper of The Year award in November 2014.[7]He would be part of more success at the club when he was part of the team that won the2021 Chinese Super Leaguetitle.[8]

International career

edit

Wang rose to prominence when he was part of theChinese under-17 national teamthat won the2004 AFC U-17 Championshipwhile he also won several caps for theChinese under-23 national teamin preparation for the2008 Summer Olympics;however, he was ultimately dropped from the final squad because he had lost his place toQiu Shengjiong.Despite this, Wang won his place back into the team in time for the2010 Asian Games;however, after the match againstJapanwhich the under-23 side lost 3-0 and in a game that saw Wang highly criticised for his performance, he posted on his microblog: "It would be flattery to call you fans. You're just a bunch of dogs. You bunch of morons are the main reason why Chinese football can't make progress. You throw in stones after a man has fallen into a well." His comments would see him suspended from the team despite making an apology.[9]

Wang received his first call-up to theChinese national teamin May 2006 for the international friendly againstSwitzerlandandFrance.He made his debut for the national team six years later on 6 September 2012 in a 1-0 loss againstSwedenand was named man of the match after an impressive performance.
