The recent spat between former national soccer captain Feng Xiaoting and well-known sketch actor Gong Hanlin has sparked widespread public attention. Feng Xiaoting's lengthy comments were also quickly on the hot search. on March 15, many former international footballers such as Yang Xu, Yang Cheng, Wang Xiaolong and others have spoken out in support of Feng Xiaoting.
"Can the national soccer team be chastised?" Shenhua player Yang Xu said bluntly, "Feng Xiaoting, Yang Xu we have been subjected to accusations, we are accustomed to, but not numb. At a time when the national soccer team is in the doldrums, if we, the practitioners, remain silent, then this profession is the real winter."
Yang Xu further pointed out that: "We often say that 'dish is the original sin', but why the efforts of several generations of the national football team, but in exchange for a generation worse than a generation of results? The only way is to establish the correct ecological chain environment and scientific youth training system for the national football team, which is the core and the king's way. Those who sprayed us in the comment section, whether they are still willing to send their children to play soccer, whether they are willing to reflect with us, this is the real love, blame."
Yang Xu concluded, "The two sessions are important meetings of the country, and the delegates have the power to make important proposals. I hope that when they raise issues, they can rigorously research and come up with solutions, and use their power prudently instead of using it as an outlet to vent their emotions, which is meaningless to the national football team."
Retired Hebei goalkeeper Yang Cheng also said: "Xiaoting is a thoughtful player, and Mr. Gong is also a representative of responsibility. But what is right or wrong? Who dares to call himself an expert in soccer? Who dares to call himself a soccer expert? Who dares to call himself a real artist? It is not easy to do one's own job well, but how can one care about others? Real experts are constantly exploring and progressing in their own fields, dedicating their whole life to researching a cause, which they may not have fully understood, and always keeping the mindset of learning in order to keep progressing. I'm afraid Mr. Kung's words have also been taken out of context, and that's what triggered this war of words."
Yang Cheng went on to write, "It's true that the national football team often gives the country a hard time, but Mr. Gong didn't break the skit out of Asia to internationalization either. It is worth pondering why no one can ask the leaders about the problem of players' salary arrears during the two sessions. What about the players after the club quit? What about the future of the team's children? Children want to play soccer after school, should they practice at school or at an organization? How to divide the responsibility? Who can offer constructive advice? Should the catch-all words come from the kids, not the congressmen?"
Yang Cheng further elaborated, "Since soccer is so important, why can no one represent the national football team during the two sessions to listen to the country's expectations of soccer, and let the leaders listen to the reality of the problem? But the reality is that no one voice, no one representative. In the end, it is still not important, because it has nothing to do with people's lives and will not have an impact on people's lives. Since it doesn't matter, don't take it so seriously, what happens when you get serious and realize that the ideal doesn't work? Is it to be a career changer? Then one has to measure whether one is big enough? What if it's a commission?"
"Gotta ask yourself if you can cross the mental hurdle. So those who don't have the weight chose to commit, and those who can't get over the hurdle opened hot pot restaurants instead. Professional players have gone into the restaurant business, and restaurant owners are all into soccer for the love of it, regardless of the cost. This is not irony, this is the status quo. This is the national soccer team. If the problems of the National Football League can be understood just by making a segment, then I'm sure another segment can be flushed out. So start with respect and do your part. Don't even take it too seriously, just have fun!"
Former international footballer Wang Xiaolong also said, "Now the national football team is this problem, where are the people who know what they are doing? Does the national soccer team have any successful experience? I can responsibly say I don't understand, you don't have successful experience. When I go to understand Spain, Holland, people can do five levels of teams, not counting the elite team, a level of 18 groups, a group of 18 teams, every child with a talent for playing soccer will not be missed, too powerful, this is something we certainly can not do. So can we find the route to soccer where we can succeed through our soccer culture, who understands that? Can we get it right by letting him get it right? Can we get it right? I think sometimes it's a death spiral of not being able to find a solution to the problem."
