In the recently concluded Olympic journey, the
China women's soccer team
The performance broke the hearts of the fans. The tournament came to an end a few days ago, but the scorecard of 1 draw and 2 losses, especially the 0:5 defeat against Brazil, the 4:4 draw with Zambia, and the 2:8 debacle against Holland, put the team at the bottom of the group with an embarrassing score of 6 goals scored and 17 goals conceded. This result was like a heavy bomb, which instantly triggered the discontent of the fans.
"Stiff upper lip" Jia Xiuquan, disappointed fans, tidal wave of bad reviews
After the match, manager Jia Xiuquan's comments sparked a furor. During the conference, every statement he made became the center of internet debate.
"Whether I do it in the future or not depends on the FA, on me, and I haven't thought about that step yet."
"The Women's World Cup I led the team out of the group, which is one of the top Asian teams. With two spots for Asia in this Olympics, we grabbed the second spot, do you think I succeeded or lost?"
"Offense and defense are both my responsibility, it's not just about defense, the offense can't score, six goalposts in two games, that's my responsibility too."
Jia Xiuquan has long been known for his toughness, and as a former top domestic and Asian player, his arrogance remains undiminished in his coaching role.
Many old fans may remember that in 1998, when he was the head coach of Shaanxi Guoli, he blamed the loss on an "unfounded" match-fixing incident, which led to the end of a player's career. In 1998, at the Wutaishan Stadium in Nanjing, he provoked the fans with his comments, causing the match to be interrupted for 1 hour and 40 minutes, and some players were injured by stones.
Even later in his coaching career, Jia Xiuquan continued to maintain a tough stance in the face of skepticism and losses. It has been jokingly said that he has never lost in a conference.
Thus, after the 2:8 loss to Holland, his every word seemed to provoke the fans and ignite the flames of their anger.
"Saying they were successful and then saying they take full responsibility for the loss." "Instead of being ashamed, it's kooky, it's disgusting to a fault." "Can you get out of the line with these 6 goalposts counting you in!" "Genuinely, he even sarcastic" "emotional intelligence quotient double low" ......
Excerpts from fans' comments can be said to be relatively "mild". In the face of Jia Xiuquan's words, I'm afraid that many calm people can not rationally look at the women's soccer team's loss.
How should those who claim to be "responsible" be "responsible"?
In the history of China's women's Olympic soccer team, it is not without its share of crushing defeats. 2004, Zhang Haitao coached the team was beaten by Germany 8:0, triggering a public outcry, and eventually eliminated from the tournament with 1 draw, 1 loss and 1 goal lost, 9 goals conceded.
But compared to '04, this Olympics, the Chinese women's soccer team's record is even worse.
The 0:5 loss to Brazil may also be said to be due to their own offense can not grasp the timing hit four goal frame, and by the opponent's continuous counterattacks led to the collapse;
In the second game in their own already 3:1 lead Zambia, continuous due to the commander of the field command and defense errors, the advantage will be given away, so that Wang Frost's "big four" become futile;
In the final battle, the Chinese women's soccer team put out a lineup with a basically unsharpened midfield to play against the Netherlands, and eventually collapsed completely, ending the tournament with a shocking score of 2:8.
Jia Xiuquan in the three conference after the game, as if "repeat machine", each time to say "I as the head coach is responsible for the game."
It is true that the head coach alone should not be held responsible for such a fiasco. However, the attitude of the head coach is not a "responsible" attitude. Whether from the handsome down, he said depends on the Football Association depends more on his own; about the fiasco of the competition, he asked others their own success or loss. People can not help but ask, if you want to be "responsible", how to "negative"?
Will Jia Xiuquan stay on? According to Beijing Youth Daily, the CFA will give a clear answer as soon as possible after careful consideration. On the professional and technical issues, the views of all walks of life are different, but on the "tragedy" comparable to the "2 to 8", the specific personnel to be accountable, take the blame will be unavoidable.
But like Jia Xiuquan himself "talk about women's soccer coaching career" as said - the World Cup team out of the line, one of the best in Asia; also grabbed the only two Olympic quota in Asia one. Said "mission" it, the mission does seem to be successfully completed, the Chinese women's soccer team and then have a bigger "goal", seems unrealistic.
Such a helpless "success", combined with this Olympic fiasco, more people's hearts blocked.
