'''Wang Dalei''' ({{zh|c=王大雷|p=Wáng Dàléi}}, born 10 January 1989) is a [[Chinese people|Chinese]] professional footballer who currently plays for [[Chinese Super League]] club [[Shandong Taishan F.C.|Shandong Taishan]] and the [[China national football team|China national team]].

==Club career==

=== Shanghai United ===
Despite being only seventeen years old, Wang started his football career with [[Shanghai United F.C.|Shanghai United]], making his debut on 11 March 2006 in a 1-1 draw against [[Guizhou Renhe F.C.|Inter Xian]] which 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.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://sports.sohu.com/20060311/n242245127.shtml |title=揭幕战卡洛斯全身而退 王大雷横空出世创造历史 |publisher=Sports.sohu.com |date=2006-03-11 |access-date=2012-04-09 |archive-date=2012-06-15 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120615001415/http://sports.sohu.com/20060311/n242245127.shtml |url-status=live }}</ref> This saw [[Serie A]] side [[Inter Milan|Internazionale]] interested within him and invited him to train with them during the summer break.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.inter.it/aas/news/reader?L=en&N=23788 |title=Wang Dalei With Inter For Training |publisher=Inter.it |date=2006-08-30 |access-date=2012-04-09 |archive-date=2012-11-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121102181318/http://www.inter.it/aas/news/reader?L=en |url-status=dead }}</ref> 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 the [[Chinese Football Association]] Young Player of the Year award.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://sodasoccer.com/search/player/F22F26EFBF58BCC2.html |title=Wang Dalei |publisher=Sodasoccer.com |access-date=2012-04-09 |archive-date=2012-06-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120628234923/http://www.sodasoccer.com/search/player/F22F26EFBF58BCC2.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>

=== Shanghai Shenhua ===
The following season saw Shanghai United merged with [[Shanghai Greenland Shenhua F.C.|Shanghai Shenhua]], leading to Wang having to fight for his position as the first-choice goalkeeper for the significantly larger squad.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2007-02/17/content_5749542.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071218165302/http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2007-02/17/content_5749542.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=December 18, 2007 |title=Gimenez to coach newly combined Shanghai Shenhua |publisher=Chinaview.cn |date= 2007-02-17|access-date=2012-04-09}} </ref> Nevertheless, at the end of the 2007 season, [[Premier League]] side [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]] decided to give him a trial along with several other Shanghai players.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11679_2882255,00.html |title=City trial Chinese trio |publisher=Skysports.com |date=2007-11-14 |access-date=2012-04-09 |archive-date=2012-02-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120214003202/http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11679_2882255,00.html |url-status=live }}</ref> 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.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/china08.html |title=China 2008 |publisher=Rsssf.com |date=2009-04-03 |access-date=2012-04-09 |archive-date=2010-07-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100721030528/http://www.rsssf.com/tablesc/china08.html |url-status=live }}</ref> During the league break, Wang would once again have another trial, this time with [[Eredivisie]] side [[PSV Eindhoven]]; however, because of this certain trial, Wang missed out on the club's preseason and he lost starting role to [[Qiu Shengjiong]]. With the introduction of then manager [[Miroslav Blažević]] in the 2010 season, Wang would once again be placed as the club's first-choice goalkeeper; however, his commitments to the [[China national under-23 football team|Chinese under-23 national team]] saw him miss much of the season.

=== Shandong Taishan ===
After a stellar 2013 season, Wang transferred to fellow [[Chinese Super League]] side [[Shandong Luneng Taishan F.C.|Shandong Luneng]] on 1 January 2014. He made his debut for the club on 7 March 2014 in a 1-0 win against [[Harbin Yiteng F.C.|Harbin Yiteng]]. He won the [[2014 Chinese FA Cup]] with Shandong and was awarded with the Chinese Football Association Goalkeeper of The Year award in November 2014.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://sports.163.com/14/1106/19/AAD3QQSP00051C89.html |title=王大雷获得14赛季最佳门将 赞曾诚偶像加实力派 |publisher=163.com |date=2014-11-06 |access-date=2015-01-12 |archive-date=2016-02-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160202230611/http://sports.163.com/14/1106/19/AAD3QQSP00051C89.html |url-status=live }}</ref> He would be part of more success at the club when he was part of the team that won the [[2021 Chinese Super League]] title.<ref name="CSL 2021">{{Cite web|url=https://k.sina.com.cn/article_7517400647_1c0126e47059025t1f.html|title=山东泰山队获得2021赛季中超联赛冠军|publisher=k.sina.com.cn|date=2021-12-27|access-date=2023-01-31|archive-date=2023-02-19|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230219194922/https://k.sina.com.cn/article_7517400647_1c0126e47059025t1f.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

==International career==
Wang rose to prominence when he was part of the [[China national under-17 football team|Chinese under-17 national team]] that won the [[2004 AFC U-17 Championship]] while he also won several caps for the [[China national under-23 football team|Chinese under-23 national team]] in preparation for the [[Football at the 2008 Summer Olympics|2008 Summer Olympics]]; however, he was ultimately dropped from the final squad because he had lost his place to [[Qiu Shengjiong]]. Despite this, Wang won his place back into the team in time for the [[Football at the 2010 Asian Games|2010 Asian Games]]; however, after the match against  [[Japan national under-23 football team|Japan]] which 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.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5h9HynRSJzFyVor4D4RMy2jL-XJMQ?docId=CNG.400e1bf922d25f17f389f67c1ed02bda.2a1 |title=China goalkeeper forced into national apology |date=2010-11-10 |access-date=2012-04-09 |archive-date=2012-09-04 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120904225243/http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5h9HynRSJzFyVor4D4RMy2jL-XJMQ?docId=CNG.400e1bf922d25f17f389f67c1ed02bda.2a1 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Wang received his first call-up to the [[China national football team|Chinese national team]] in May 2006 for the international friendly against [[Switzerland national football team|Switzerland]] and [[France national football team|France]]. He made his debut for the national team six years later on 6 September 2012 in a 1-0 loss against [[Sweden men's national football team|Sweden]] and was named man of the match after an impressive performance.

Wang was China's first choice goalkeeper for the [[2015 AFC Asian Cup]], where China reached the quarter-finals, losing to hosts and eventual winners [[Australia men's national soccer team|Australia]] in Brisbane.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.socceroos.com.au/match/china-pr-v-australia-asian-cup-23-01-2015/749165|title=Sensational Cahill sends Socceroos into semi-finals|date=22 January 2015|access-date=15 January 2024|website=Socceroos|archive-date=15 January 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240115132132/https://www.socceroos.com.au/match/china-pr-v-australia-asian-cup-23-01-2015/749165|url-status=live}}</ref>
