Recently, Seaport FC manager Muscat made a complaint after the Shanghai Derby, on which journalist Feng Zhen commented on the social media. Feng Zhen believes that there is nothing wrong with Muscat's comments, and pointed out that it is unreasonable to compare the Meizhou Hakka game against Yatai in public opinion. Muscat said after the match that the team's preparation was insufficient and the players' physical condition was average, especially Wu Lei and Oscar's performance was obviously not as good as expected. He explained that the quality of training could not be guaranteed as the trip to Meizhou was understandably affected by weather problems. Feng Zhen believes that Muscat's complaints, while much to be desired, are not much of a problem.

He pointed out that Hakka's shutout of Yatai could not be directly compared to the Shanghai derby, as Hakka was playing at home the week of the break and against Yatai, a completely different situation. Feng Zhen further interpreted Muscat's central point to be that Hakka did not perform well in the derby and failed to play at the level they should have. This, he said, is what makes soccer so interesting, and not just limited to observing the true caliber of a team. One of the significance of the soccer league is that the points scored by a team over the course of a long game are always a reflection of its true standard. Fengzhen said that if Beijing Guoan, Shandong Taishan and Chengdu can rise strongly, it will make the league even more exciting. It is worth mentioning that a photo posted by Harbour Football Club on social media showed Muscat's serious and pensive expression as he posted his complaining remarks.
