Within the soccer circle, Dong Lu was outspoken: "Isn't this an obvious match-fixing? There is no need to look for other evidence, the full-match video is hard evidence! Someone has to take the blame for the crime, and someone has to pay for the mistake!"
Li Pingkang has a unique insight into this phenomenon: "Such Olympic-level match-fixing incidents, do not put the blame on the coaches and players, they are just victims of power. Let me recall a past event, in 2009, Shandong National Games women's soccer game. The coach at that time, has now become a national character, then or the first appearance of the young. Facing the strength of the L provincial team, he led 1-0 in the first half, but at halftime, a highly influential sports leader surnamed C called and asked him to make adjustments. As a result, the L team, which was already superior in strength, turned around and won 2-1. In this case, it's really unreasonable to blame the coaches and players, who are also victims. What should really be blamed are those officials who play with power and put profits above sportsmanship, as well as those oddball sports meetings!"
