In the late afternoon of August 22, a heavy news in the soccer world exploded in the social platform - Xie Hui officially announced that after careful consideration, he decided to resign from the post of head coach of Nantong Zhiyun Football Club.
After expressing his apologies and reluctance to the Nantong Zhiyun Club and the players, Xie Hui emphasized his dedication and love for the soccer career: "My soccer beginnings are unshakable, and I left my job not out of fear or to escape, but for a better starting point. In the future, I will go to Germany to further my studies and get ready for another start in the future."
The young domestic coach hopes to put an end to the "drinking table video" incident by "automatically resigning", but I am afraid that the thoughts and controversies triggered by the incident will continue for some time.
"The cost of Xie Hui's 'drunken blunder' is really high, and many old friends feel sorry for him. Xie Hui's skills and character are well recognized in the industry, and he has shown his professional ability during his time as an assistant coach in Shanghai and coaching in Nantong in the Central League. We hope that all sectors of the society can give more tolerance to this excellent mid-generation domestic coach, and not to dismiss him completely. I especially condemn the unethical behavior of those who steal videos and spread them maliciously on the Internet. The traffic you pursue may destroy the whole future of others! Go Xie Hui, I believe you can soon get back on your feet and prove yourself!"
A day before Xie Hui announced his resignation, at 17:40 on August 21, former international footballer Peng Weiguo published a microblog, calling on all sectors of society to give Xie Hui more tolerance and pointing out that the price he paid for it was huge.
Three full days have passed since the exposure of Xie Hui's video, why did Peng Weiguo speak out at this time? It is reported that on the day of this microblogging, Xie Hui has signed the resignation document, Nantong club has also found a new head coach candidate - Cao Rui coach who has served in Jiangsu Suning club.
At the time of Peng Weiguo's microblogging, the Nantong club had not yet signed with Cao Rui. However, according to internal sources, the club did communicate with Cao Rui, and it seems to be a certainty that he will take over the position of head coach. Peng Weiguo chose this point in time to mention this three days after the incident, perhaps because he has learned that Xie Hui is no longer suspended, but officially left the post on the same day.
Looking back at the point in time when the incident occurred, one can not help but think deeply. 18, Xie Hui drink table video exposure, his remarks triggered heated debate. At 5:30 p.m. that day, Nantong Zhiyun released a statement deciding to suspend Xie Hui from his position as head coach. 4 minutes later, Xie Hui apologized on his personal social media.
On the night of the incident, many people thought that Xie Hui should be reinstated soon after apologizing and reflecting, but the actual situation is far more serious than imagined. It took Xie Hui only four days from his apology to his automatic resignation, and only three days for the Nantong club to talk about a new coach, which means that the decision to leave the club may have been made as early as after the incident.22 On the 22nd, two hours after Xie Hui's announcement of his resignation, the official Nantong Zhiyun officials reacted quickly by agreeing to his resignation request.
A "drunken speech" why trigger such a big dispute? Xie Hui video incident on the 19th day twice on the microblogging hot search, secretly photographed certainly triggered public condemnation, but it can not be denied that its remarks related to other clubs to invest in the issue, as well as the Nantong club's own capital investment issues, are sensitive topics.
In particular, the claim that Hong Kong spent 12 billion dollars to win the championship has triggered a wider discussion. 12 billion dollars is a figure that has attracted a lot of self-media to come out and calculate this account for Hong Kong, because at that time, Xie Hui served as an assistant coach in Hong Kong, this figure is also considered by most people to be true, and has also triggered a new round of thinking about the golden dollar soccer.
From the perspective of Nantong Zhiyun itself, Xie Hui said "only spent 10 million to reach the fifth place in the Central League", also attracted the attention of the local government, after all, it involves the coordination between the club and the government. To know the club after the first, both Nantong City and Rugao City, there are leaders concerned about and support the club, the club this season chest advertising revenue of more than 10 million, the government and the Sports Bureau of the support of tens of millions of dollars, which and 10 million investment gap between, is not small.
Nantong Zhiyun club leaders in the incident after the exposure, received the intervention of the relevant aspects of the phone, but the relevant phone whether Xie Hui's treatment of the decisive role, the club refused to speak out. The only certainty is that Xie Hui's departure has long been a unanimous decision between the club and him, since the club has already found a good new head coach, Xie Hui's "automatic resignation" also becomes "logical".
In this resignation notice, Xie Hui expressed a few points: Firstly, he apologized to the players of Nantong team and thanked for the coaching experience in Nantong; secondly, he reflected on the incident of "secretly shooting video", and said that as an insider in the industry, he should be more professional and cautious in his own words and deeds; thirdly, he explained that this time he left his job is not a matter of fear or avoidance, but for a better departure, and informed that He wants to go to Germany to study for further education; Fourth, he declares that he will definitely come back, because - "You can't give up this world, to the people you despise."
So far, Xie Hui's coaching career has come to an end, 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 incident of the clandestine video, but to believe, as long as we believe, the world will become better and better, we look forward to his return, but still keep the original heart.
