China's women's soccer team in the current Olympic Games journey, a few days ago has already drawn to a close. 1 draw 2 negative record, which suffered Brazil to 0:5 score of pain, and Zambia 4:4 into a tie, but against the Netherlands to 2:8 of the wide range of scores lost, and ultimately scored 6 goals and lost 17 goals of the group's record at the bottom of the list. Such a performance immediately attracted strong dissatisfaction from the fans. At this particular moment, a statement made by manager Jia Xiuquan after the match stirred up a surge of negative comments, making him a target.
Jia Xiuquan's "tough talk" disappoints fans, bad comments
In the post-game press conference, Jia Xiuquan's every statement sparked a buzz as soon as it went viral on the internet.
"It's up to the FA, it's up to me, and I haven't thought about the next step yet."
"The Women's World Cup I led the team out of the group, which can be said to be one of the best among Asian teams. This Olympics two places in Asia, we grabbed the second, do you think I am a success or failure?"
"It's my job on offense and defense, it's not just about defense, the offense can't score, six goalposts in two games, that's my job too."
Jia Xiuquan's temper can be said to be "consistent", and it's not surprising that he said this. As a former top player in China and Asia, his strength when he played soccer gave him the capital to be arrogant. Even if he later turned to coaching, his arrogance is still unabated.
Many old fans may still remember that in 1998, when he was the head coach of Shaanxi Guoli, he named "No. 3 Sui Bo" and put the blame for the loss on the "unfounded" fake ball, which directly led to the end of a player's career.
Jiangsu fans may remember that it was also in 1998 that he led the team in Nanjing's Wutaishan Stadium where mineral water bottles were thrown by fans on the field, and he let loose with words that added fuel to the fire, which later triggered an even worse fan riot at the Xi'an City Stadium, where the game was interrupted for up to an hour and 40 minutes and a Jiangsu player was injured by stones thrown by Shaanxi fans.
In his subsequent coaching career, he would remain tough in the face of skepticism and defeat. It was jokingly said that he never lost in a conference.
Therefore, these comments after the 2:8 loss to the Netherlands, almost every sentence is "provocative", ignited the flame of anger of the fans.
"Saying you're a success and saying you take full responsibility for your failures." "Instead of being ashamed, it's quirky and almost sickening." "Can you get out of the line with those 6 goalposts counting for you?" "Genuinely, it's amazing that he's still being sarcastic" "Emotionally and intellectually dishonest" ......
The above excerpts of fans' comments can be said to be relatively "euphemistic". I'm afraid that many calm people, in the face of Jia Xiuquan's comments, can not calm down to rationally look at the women's soccer team's failure.
How should those who claim to be "responsible" be "responsible"?
In the history of China's women's Olympic soccer team, not without a fiasco. 2004, Zhang Haitao coached the team, was Germany to 8:0 score of pain, public opinion was in an uproar, the women's soccer team eventually also 1 draw 1 loss into 1 goal lost 9 goals were eliminated from the game.
But compared to '04, this Olympics has been a much more dismal campaign.
0:5 lost to Brazil, perhaps can also be said to be due to their own offense can not seize the opportunity to hit four goal frame, and by the opponent's continuous counterattacks led to the collapse;
In the second game in their own already 3:1 lead Zambia, continuous due to the commander of the field command and defense errors, the advantage will be surrendered, so that Wang Frost's "big four" become empty talk;
In the final battle, the women's soccer team lined up a lineup with a barely polished midfield to play against the Netherlands, and eventually collapsed completely, ending the tournament with a shocking score of 2:8.
Jia Xiuquan in the three conference after the game, as if "repeat machine", each time said "I as the head coach is responsible for the game."
It is true that the head coach alone should not be held responsible for such a fiasco. However, the attitude shown by the head coach is not a "responsible" attitude. Whether or not to come down from the marshal, he said that depends on the Football Association, but also depends on his own; about the fiasco of the competition, he asked others about their own success or failure. People can not help but ask, if you want to be "responsible", how to "negative"?
Is Jia Xiuquan staying on? According to Beijing Youth Daily, the CFA will give a clear answer as soon as possible after careful consideration. On the issue of professional and technical problems, the views of all walks of life are different, but on the "tragedy" comparable to the "2 to 8", detailed personnel to be accountable, take the blame will be unavoidable.
But like Jia Xiuquan himself "talk about women's soccer coaching career" as said - World Cup group line, one of the best in Asia; also grabbed one of the only two Olympic places in Asia. Said "task" it, the task does seem to have successfully completed, women's football and then have a bigger "goal", seems unrealistic.
Such a helpless "success", combined with this Olympic fiasco, more people's hearts blocked.
