On June 4, the first round of China's soccer event, the Chinese Super League, was rekindled, with Shanghai Seaports going down 0-1 to Wuhan Changjiang in a fierce duel.
In the marquee match, China's international footballer Xu Xin was red-carded for an ill-advised stomping action, and after the match, he apologized to his opponents through a social media post.
Xu Xin wrote on social media, "Hey brother Hu Jinghang, I did jump a bit high on that ball today, my attention was focused on the ball and I didn't notice your position. It was a bit difficult to balance in the air and I tried my best to get on top of the ball, but I accidentally bumped into you. Don't worry, I really didn't mean to. I hope it's okay. Cheer up for the game and let's talk about it over a cup of tea sometime."
Hu Jinghang responded to this by saying, "Brother, don't take it to heart, collisions are inevitable on the field, and I can see that you didn't mean it. Let's cheer together!"
Later, Xu Xin retweeted again and replied to Hu Jinghang: "Today is the first round of the game, I can understand how you feel. Our team is facing some challenges right now and I want to play this game too much. The league has just started, so I hope we can cheer together and good luck is always with us."
