On March 15 in Beijing Time, Feng Xiaoting's virtual conversation with comedian Gong Hanlin was like a fire that instantly ignited a frenzy of public opinion. Media personality Xu Jiang also shared his insights on his personal social media platform amidst the fervor.
Original article on Xu Jiang's social media platform:
In the face of the criticism, blame, flirtation and even curse that our men's football team has endured, we should be sober enough to realize that the results of competitive sports are the hard truth. When the men's soccer team beat South Korea, don't all the fans in the country cheer for it? Victory, we do not give them due praise? Is it really flawless when you win? Perhaps, many times it is just because of the score, people just see the numbers and applaud easily.
So, now that the men's soccer team is losing, why can't we accept the criticism and blame that goes hand in hand with it?
We can't just accept the compliments and block out the barbs.
Soccer suffers criticism precisely because the sport is so highly regarded. If no one criticizes Vietnam after a win, does that not mean that our country really does not need soccer?
Also, our players, why do they always tweet quickly after a win? Isn't it just to garner praise from the fans?
