Wang Shuo smiled and thanked them.
The first of the two questions was standard, but the second was actually a little awkward.
"Excuse me, everyone. This reporter is from my home country, China. May I answer this question in Chinese?"
The reporters in the room all nodded.
After thanking them again, Wang Shuo looked toward the Capital Television camera.
"First, I am incredibly grateful to the fans in China for their support! Your support gives me endless motivation; it's the source of energy that keeps me running on the pitch."
"I want to say to all the fans back home that I've always felt I'm not just playing for myself—I'm playing for you. I want to show the entire world that we Chinese can play great football!"
Wang Shuo kept his answer brief before changing the subject.
"As for the UEFA Europa League final, of course I'm confident. Confidence is essential for victory!"
