In the early morning of the 4th, Feng Xiaoting, the former leader of China's men's soccer team, spoke out on social media, responding to the extensive discussion triggered by Gong Hanlin's remarks about the national soccer team. He pointed out that "it is easy to criticize and blame, but knowing the difficulties involved, the key to improving the national football team lies in the doers, not the keyboard warriors".
Indeed, the current predicament faced by our men's soccer team is not black and white, but has become the "ultimate challenge" in the field of sports in China. Simply blaming the players and putting the blame on the pitch is a simple and brutal approach that will not be beneficial to the development of the national soccer team. Feng Xiaoting's statement speaks to the heart of many players who feel innocent and consider themselves to be "scapegoats", and under tremendous pressure, they even cower on the pitch, unable to play at their proper level.
However, the players really do not have a problem? The problems of the national football team can not simply be attributed to the players, but if the national football team's bad because of the "keyboard warrior" criticism, perhaps the athletes of the national football team is too "glassy-eyed".
Fans and some people's excessive reproach to the players is indeed a bit excessive, and even a kind of emotional catharsis. Fans' expectations and encouragement for the men's soccer team have never ceased, and every time they make progress and win, the men's soccer team in China can reap praise, and sometimes even the phenomenon of "over-recognition" occurs. Although soccer has suffered a lot of criticism in recent years, it is still our country's "No. 1 sport", the attention is very high, naturally there will be good and bad, by the "traffic hype" is inevitable.
However, to strike iron, one must also be hard. If you can't speak with your results on the pitch, then no amount of articles on the rhetorical field can win sympathy, and may even invite more reproaches. For all those associated with the national soccer team, it is imperative to really reflect on how to change and what attitude to show in the face of the next game to change the public's view. Otherwise, the lowest point of the national soccer team may not have come yet, and perhaps there are still a lot of people waiting to see the joke of the national soccer team, waiting to reap the traffic dividends.
The future of the national football team does not lie in the views of the fans, but in the "soccer people" how to correctly understand the national football team, sincere change. Feng Xiaoting need not be overly entangled in the blame of others, lower their heads, recognize their own path is the most critical, walk their own way, let others comment.
