In the 23rd round of the Chinese Super League (CSL), Shandong Taishan defeated powerhouse Chengdu Rongcheng 3-0. I'm sure many fans didn't expect this result. However, what is even more surprising is that the three players who scored the goal were Bi Jinhao, Chen Pu and Delgado, which is the famous "trio" of Taishan. It is worth mentioning that the celebrations of these three players have deep meanings, which also caused a lot of controversy.
Bijinho scored Taishan's first goal. In the 13th minute of the game, Taishan served a quick ball from the sideline. Huang Zhengyu's long pass found Bi Jinhao in the penalty area. The latter scuffed his header and behind him, Chen Pu shot furiously, which was parried out by the keeper. Bi Jinhao grabbed two headers inside the box and headed the ball in. It was his first goal after joining Taishan. He was very excited after the goal. During the celebration, he had a gesture of plugging his ears with two fingers.
In the 68th minute of the match, Peng Xinli broke free and passed the ball to Chen Pu in the slot. The latter led the ball long and straight in, shaking several players in front of the box and exploding with his right foot to help his team into the second goal. Taishan took a 2-0 lead over Chengdu Rongcheng. During the celebration, Chen Pu also had a blocked ear action. And as you can see from this goal, Chen Pu seemed to be holding his breath, as he usually rarely plays soccer like this, and he would distribute the ball to players in better positions according to his usual probability.
In the 89th minute of the match, Taishan had their only corner kick opportunity in the entire match. Li Yuan played forward as soon as the corner kick was taken, and substitute Delgado grabbed the ball in front of the defender and padded the ball into the goal, scoring Taishan's third goal. This goal showed Delgado's superior shooting skills. After the goal, Delgado shut up in the stands behind the goal. Knowing that this is a celebratory gesture often used on the road, Delgado's gesture to the fans caused a lot of controversy.
To be honest, these actions really aren't very friendly, but I do understand that players are human. Fans can call them names and they can naturally fight back in their own way. Moreover, this kind of counterattack only targets some individuals. Anyway, when I saw these actions, there were no waves in my heart because I hadn't personally attacked them before, and the people who really felt uncomfortable must have called them names before. To use a perhaps inappropriate phrase, "Don't do anything wrong, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door."
