Beijing Youth Daily reporter learned that Beijing Shougang team plans to leave for Hangzhou, the host of the first stage of the new season on the 5th. At the same time, the team has confirmed that Zhai Xiaochuan will continue to serve as the captain, and the vice captain has changed from Wang Yuhui last season to Fang Shuo. Fang Shuo will undoubtedly take heavier responsibilities in the new season. Fang Shuo said in an exclusive interview with a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily: “It is one of my goals for the new season to re-become ‘fang superju’, but more importantly, I hope to be stable in the new season, continue to play its role to help young players grow and get through this stage faster.”
The captain of Shougang team last season was Zhai Xiaochuan, and the vice captain was Wang Yuhui. But after the end of last season, Wang Yuhui officially ended his career. He has now become the head coach of Shougang youth team. For the new season, veteran Zhai Xiaochuan will continue to serve as the captain and play an active role inside and outside the stadium. At the same time, the team also decided to be the vice captain of the new season by veteran Fang Shuo. The team hopes Fang Shuo can play the role of veteran’s help and bring more help to the team in the new season.
Fang Shuo had two PRP treatments during this off-season. The so-called PRP treatment is to extract and separate blood from other parts of the body, and then inject it into the injured part again, this helps the injury recover faster. Fang Shuo has been adversely affected by leg injuries in the past two years. He hopes to have a healthy body and strong state in the new season. Fang Shuo told the reporter of Beijing Youth Daily: “In the past two years, leg injuries have indeed occurred, which has had adverse effects. However, after past recovery and treatment, I also gradually learned how to coexist with such injuries and how to adjust myself under the circumstances of adverse effects of injuries to try to play a better game. Now I think my recovery is good. Although it is not 100% yet, the recovery is good.”
Returning to a better physical condition is an important basis for Fang Shuo to play a role in the new season. Fang Shuo also hopes to find the original “Fang Super Giant” in the team. “Returning to the state of” Fang Super Giant “is one of my goals, but more importantly, I hope I can play my offensive characteristics more stably. As an old player of the team, I prefer to play the role of the team’s God pin in the new season. At the same time, I actively help young players to spend the Cainiao season.” He said.
For Fang Shuo, the new season will usher in his contract year. As the only top-salary player in the team, does Fang Shuo face more pressure? He said: “Now I don’t want the contract. I just want to focus on the usual training and competition. As the only top-level player in the team, I think this is the team’s trust in me. I will not regard it as pressure, but as a kind of motivation to promote myself to play more stably in the new season, to give back to the team with good performance and to lead the team out of the haze of the year. This is also my responsibility.”
