China's men's soccer team suffered an unexpected defeat in a high-profile match during the Chinese New Year, a result that stirred up a furor among fans and netizens alike, and even caused the national soccer team's captain, Wu Xi, to encounter relentless mockery on the Internet when talking about sea cucumbers.
Liu Jianhong, a well-known commentator, made a public statement in his personal program, pointing out that focusing on players and teams is a misunderstanding of Chinese soccer, and clarified the previous statement of "entering the national team for a specific price".
Liu noted, "Emotions run high among our fans in the face of the sea cucumber controversy. Recently, the topic of sea cucumbers has become popular. If we continue to dwell on it and point the finger at the players, it is a real misinterpretation of Chinese soccer. If we continue to treat Chinese soccer with this attitude, then with the inactivity, lack of seriousness, and unprofessionalism of the relevant departments, are we, the self-media people, showing enough professionalism and seriousness, and are we responsible enough?"
"In this context, blaming all the problems on the players and the team, are we choosing the wrong direction and wasting the time of Chinese soccer. We should not just focus on a sea cucumber, and the defeat is not the fault of the players.
Liu Jianhong has also been in the program to expose the shady side of Chinese soccer, bluntly into the national team need to be clear price, how much appearance fee depends on the money paid. He continued to expose that even in the national team appearances need to send money, professional players want to enter the national team can be a clear price, some coaches will even directly to the player's bank card, want to appear to play money, want to appear a few times to play a few times of money.
Is there such a thing? There is. But now? No. Let me emphasize again, there is no such thing, there is, and people have gone to jail and paid a heavy price for it. But I did not say that this is now the national team and coach Li Tie or Li Xiaopeng they this national team related, note in this news with the picture is indeed Li Tie led the team." Liu Jianhong said, "So in fact sometimes it is some self-media people irresponsible speculation, take my words to add oil and vinegar, or even maliciously tamper with, confuse the public. Such behavior is no longer responsible for Chinese soccer, but to rub heat and traffic, for which I express my displeasure."
