On the star-studded April 26th, the Chinese soccer world was in turmoil again. International footballer Zhang Yuning launched a counterattack on social media platforms in the late hours of the night against those unwarranted and slanderous marketing behaviors, and at the same time publicized his daily adherence to the nourishing habit of sea cucumber. In the face of netizens' concerns, Zhang Yuning responded that he did not intend to prove or fight back, but just wanted to respond to those unjustified comments with a confrontational mindset.
This behavior has sparked widespread discussion both inside and outside the soccer world. Today, Zhang Yuning issued another statement setting out his position.
Zhang Yuning mentioned in his statement:
In the past two days, I have felt the concern of many friends and fans. Some people are worried that I will be cyber-violated, while others hope that I can respond to the skepticism with practical actions on the field. My heart is full of gratitude, although my power is small, but it is enough to support me to move forward. Please rest assured that I am well and will meet the challenge with more enthusiasm!
At the same time, I would like to emphasize once again:
Every second of life is precious; don't consume yourself for nothingness. In the face of malicious attacks, we have to fight back bravely; we have to respect ourselves, live and die as we wish. As one netizen said, "You ignore him, you don't pay attention to him, then what do you need the police for? What is the meaning of the words justice, humanity and truth?"
With the World Qualifiers behind us, I have been asked to summarize this phase of the experience. I would like to say that I give credit to all my national teammates, including myself. It was a time when we struggled together, suffered in silence, and knew only our own inner sorrows. In the future, I will point to the family photo and tell my children about our names and what we went through.
