In the late afternoon of August 22, shocking news came from the soccer world: Xie Hui, the young head coach of Nantong Zhiyun Football Club, decided to resign from the post on his own initiative after much deliberation.
After expressing his apology and reluctance to Nantong Zhiyun Club and the players, Xie Hui said with deep emotion, "My love for the soccer career has never changed, leaving not out of fear, not to escape, but for a more solid departure. I will go to Germany to further my studies and precipitate myself with a view to setting sail again."
Xie Hui's move, intended to "take the initiative to resign" for the "table video" incident to draw a conclusion, but this incident triggered by the deep thought and controversy I am afraid will continue for some time.
"The price paid by Xie Hui for his 'drunken blunder' is undoubtedly heavy, and many of his old friends deplore him. Xie Hui has maintained his consistent character and personality on the field and in life, and he has shown excellent professional ability as an assistant coach in Shanghai and leading the team in Nantong in the Central League. We expect all sectors of society to give more tolerance to this mid-generation domestic coach, instead of rejecting him completely because of one incident. For those despicable people who secretly shoot and maliciously spread the video, the 'traffic' you are pursuing may ruin the life of others! Xie Hui, please hang in there, I believe you will soon be able to get back up and prove yourself!"
The day before Xie Hui announced his resignation, former international footballer Peng Weiguo appealed on Weibo for more tolerance from all sectors of the community, pointing out the great price Xie Hui had to bear in this incident.
It is reported that on the same day that Peng Weiguo released his microblog, Xie Hui has signed his departure document, and the Nantong club has urgently searched for a new head coach candidate, who is Cao Rui, who has worked for Jiangsu Suning.
At the time of Peng Weiguo's microblogging, the signing between Nantong and Cao Rui was not yet clear, but internal sources indicated that the two sides had already communicated. Peng Weiguo chose to speak out at this time, three days after the incident, probably because he had already learned that Xie Hui was not suspended, but had officially stepped down on the same day.
Looking back at the point in time when the incident occurred, I found that it was quite interesting. 18, Xie Hui drink table video exposure, his remarks triggered heated debate. At 5:30 p.m. on the same day, Nantong Zhiyun released a statement, deciding to suspend Xie Hui's position as head coach. Only four minutes later, Xie Hui publicly apologized on his personal social media.
The night of the incident, many people believe that Xie Hui counseling through the apology and introspection should be able to quickly reinstatement, but the actual situation is far more serious than expected. It took only four days for Xie Hui to apologize and resign on his own initiative, and only three days for the Nantong club to find a new coach, which means that the decision to leave the club may have been made long after the incident.22 On the 22nd, two hours after Xie Hui's announcement of his resignation, the Nantong Zhiyun officials responded quickly by agreeing to his resignation.
Why did the "drunken speech" cause such a big wave? Xie Hui video incident on the 19th day twice on the microblogging hot search, the behavior of the filming is certainly condemned, but can not be ignored is that its remarks involved in the investment of other clubs as well as the Nantong club's capital investment issues, are sensitive topics.
Among them, about Hong Kong to win the championship investment of 12 billion words, triggered a wider discussion, this figure led to many media out of the calculation of Hong Kong's accounts, due to Xie Hui at that time in the Hong Kong as an assistant coach, this figure is also generally considered to be true, but also triggered people to the "gold dollar soccer" thinking again.
From Nantong Zhiyun itself, Xie Hui's statement of "only 10 million investment to reach the fifth place in the Central League" has also attracted the attention of the local government, because it is related to the harmony between the club and the government. To know, the club after the A, both the city of Nantong and Rugao, there are leaders of the club expressed concern and support, Nantong Zhiyun chest advertising revenue of more than 10 million this season, the government and the Sports Bureau of the support of tens of millions of dollars, which is really a large gap between the input of 10 million.
Nantong Zhiyun club leaders in the incident after the exposure, received the relevant aspects of the intervention of the phone, but the club refused to disclose whether the phone call on the treatment of Xie Hui has a decisive role. What is certain is that Xie Hui's departure has long been a consensus between the club and Xie Hui, and since the club has found a new head coach, Xie Hui's "voluntary resignation" has become inevitable.
In this departure announcement, Xie Hui expressed a few points: first, the players of Nantong team's apology and gratitude for the coaching experience in Nantong; second, the reflection on the "clandestine video" incident, said that as a member of the industry, his words and deeds should be more professional and prudent; third, it is clear that the departure is not due to fear, not to escape, but for a better start, and Informed of his plan to go to Germany for further study; Fourth, declared that he will definitely return, because - "You can't give up the world, to people you despise."
So far, Xie Hui's coaching career has come to an end for the time being, we look forward to his return, and hope that this incident will not change his true nature, just as he warned us not to "lose our daily sense of security because of the clandestine video incident, or to believe, as long as we believe, the world will get better and better," we look forward to his return to the world, and still maintain the true to his heart.
