September 5, Beijing time, a high-profile soccer event in the Qatar World Cup qualifying round of 12 Asian matches staged on the field. The Chinese men's soccer team was defeated by Australia in the first round of the competition with a score of 0-3. After the match, a self-published article pointed out that the Chinese team did not display the team flag before the match, raising questions about professionalism. In response, reporter Zhao Zhen stood up for the team.
"See, the power of the self-published media cannot be underestimated, they captured this scene: the opening of the Chinese and Australian teams. Seeing this, the self-published media started to slag off the Chinese team, accusing us of not displaying the team flag and not being professional enough. What is the truth? The reason lies in the impact of the new crown epidemic, the AFC has a special rule for match supervision: no exchange of team flags and no handshakes before the match. It's a shame that the Chinese team strictly adhered to the rules while the Australian team seems to have ignored them." So wrote Zhao Zhen in the article.
"However, let's look at our Chinese team's elaborate team flags for each game. In this day and age, we may not be as good as our opponents at the ball, but we can never lag behind in logistics. The fact that we have prepared team flags for every match is proof of our professional attitude." Zhao Zhen's words revealed his firm confidence in the Chinese team.
With Zhao Zhen's counterattack, this storm about the team flag seems to be gradually calming down. The Chinese team will continue to show their fighting spirit and fight for honor in the coming matches.
