Selling Subotic was, to some extent, a clear signal from the Mainz board.
For Wang Shuo, this was hardly a surprise.
What he had to do now was build on his performance and carry his first-half form into the second half of the season.
It didn't matter how Mainz performed.
As long as he, Wang Shuo, kept putting in top-tier performances, that would be his leverage to attract the attention of bigger clubs!
It would be the foundation for his negotiations when he eventually joined a new team!
"Don't be upset. This is how top clubs operate. You'll have to get used to it."
Thomas Essien, who was driving, thought Wang Shuo was sulking about the award for the best player of the first half of the season.
Specifically, about missing out on Best Player.
Many in the media and many fans were crying foul on Wang Shuo's behalf.
Was Ribery's performance in the first half of the season really better than Wang Shuo's?
In what way?
