On March 15, Beijing Times, Feng Xiaoting and Gong Hanlin talked to each other, and the topic triggered heated discussions. According to media personality Pan Weili, Feng Xiaoting published a long article, not simply criticizing the national football team, but emphasizing that every mistake should have value.
Pan Weili further elaborated, "Why did Feng Xiaoting post such a long article? Is the recent situation of the national soccer team directly related to him? In fact, as he said in his article, it has little to do with it. He is not a member of the national team for a long time, the accusations of the fans on the national football team, has nothing to do with him, and he as a beneficiary of the gold dollar soccer, pay limit or pay cuts have a minimal impact on him, for a veteran who is about to turn 37 years old, it is really not a big deal.
As a veteran, the wisest thing to do is to keep silent, or go along with the public opinion and encourage the younger generation. Feng Xiaoting's approach may not seem smart enough, and even seems a bit foolish. However, as he himself said, if he does not speak out, perhaps he will never speak again in his life. Why did Feng Xiaoting express so many reasons? There is only one core point: not to let his own mistakes, so that the team's loss becomes worthless.
He mentioned that the experience of Japanese soccer reviewing the dark 14 seconds is exemplary for the national soccer team. The national soccer team has suffered numerous mistakes and losses, has anyone done any deep reflection? What we usually do is that after the mistakes and losses, the coach is dismissed, the players quit the national team, and when the new generation of players play again, they somehow make mistakes and they just repeat the same mistakes.
This is the source of Feng Xiaoting's pain. He himself has blundered, lost and suffered from net abuse, but he chooses to remain silent. He doesn't want his experience to be uninspiring to young players, and he's not trying to antagonize anyone, only to say that any mistake should have value.
