path Lu Yang's comments were like a bomb thrown into the soccer world. He pointed out that in terms of the frequency of concussion substitutions, there doesn't seem to be much doubt if people are assuming that our clubs are generally lying. Immediately afterward, German turnover administrator Zhu Yi also expressed similar views on this phenomenon. After careful observation of concussion substitutions in the Chinese Super League, Chinese First Division and Chinese Second Division, he asserted that more than 70% of such substitutions can be considered a bad show.
Wei Zhen, who moved to Shanghai Port, was the subject of much attention during the recent FA Cup semi-final when he suffered a "concussion". Wei Zhen pushed his opponent during a clash, and as a result, his forehead hit the back of the head of Shenhua's foreign aid player Malelai (see photo above). Inexplicably, Wei Zhen, who was hit on the back of the head, insisted on playing, while Wei Zhen, who suffered a forehead injury, was replaced on the grounds of "concussion". This is clearly contrary to common sense.
Generally speaking, the back of the head is more likely to cause concussions, while the front of the head is very low chance of concussions. But the "special rule" of the Chinese Super League is just the opposite. This makes people doubt the reality of concussions. Medically speaking, concussions usually require a 7 to 14 day recovery period. Surprisingly, Wei Zhen returned to action in Shanghai Hong Kong's match against Qingdao West Coast three days after his "concussion". Obviously, if the concussion had occurred, the club would not have sent the player back to the field so quickly. As a result, the national team's focus shifted to preventing players from cheating themselves and avoiding their responsibilities to the national team. In this way, the challenges facing the national soccer team and its coach, Ivankovic, can be imagined. As they move forward against the odds, the road to building the national soccer team looks increasingly bumpy.
