Recently, former national football captain Ma Mingyu took to social media to start a special conversation with his old teammates Li Bing and Wei Qun, discussing the criticisms and dilemmas that the national football team has faced recently.
Wei Qun said bluntly: "We, those who came from the pitch, have we been criticized less? Some people criticize you, some people blame the soccer, which shows that there are still a lot of people care about soccer. We still have to look for problems from ourselves, as soccer people, now is the most difficult time, we can not give up."
Immediately after that, Ri Bing also said, "We played poorly, and honestly, we should accept the criticism, and there may be some injustice in this. In the past ten years or so, we have never been able to get into the top four in the U Series and Asian competitions, and we can only bury our heads in the sand. It's my responsibility to criticize us for not playing well, but I'm not convinced and I still have to persevere." Ma Mingyu added in Sichuanese: "In Sichuanese, it means to admit the blame."
