On September 2, a storm of news swept the Internet. The Sports Bureau of Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, responded to the astonishing 44-0 score in the women's soccer match at the Provincial Games, insisting that the score was true and correct, and denying any problems with the style of play and discipline. The official explained that such a large gap stems from the inferior status of the Huzhou women's soccer team in the soccer program and the short time the team has been in existence.
In a recent women's soccer match at the Zhejiang Provincial Games, the Lishui women's soccer team beat the Huzhou women's soccer team by an astonishing score of 44-0. This high score quickly attracted public attention and became the center of public opinion.
Upstream News acted quickly to contact the Sports Service Division (Sports Events Division) of the Sports Development Service Center in Lishui City, Zhejiang Province, where staff confirmed the final score of 44-0, while pointing out that the gap between the two sides' strengths was obvious and that "Lishui soccer has a higher level in the province." For specifics, further consultation with the Sports Operations Division was recommended. However, the reporter made several attempts to contact the Center's Sports Operations Division, and the phone was never connected.
Immediately after, upstream news turned to contact the Huzhou City Sports Bureau. The staff of the Training and Competition Division said that different regions have different sports focus programs, foundations and development conditions. Huzhou women's soccer team formation time is not long, the recent state is not good, but the players still go all out, showing the spirit of sportsmanship. Despite the unsatisfactory results, but the score difference is an objective fact, there is no question of any game style and discipline, "if the other side is allowed to put two, it is not a forgery?"
"Despite the disparity of the score, but the sports arena, victory and defeat is commonplace. We communicated and psychologized with the players at the first time and encouraged them to fight harder and harder."
