In the evening of September 5, Beijing time, the Chinese soccer world is in a state of flux, an explosive news quickly spread throughout the network. The protagonist of the news, Mao Jianqing, lost control of himself after drinking and blasted Shanghai Shenhua's coaching staff. In the face of this incident, Shanghai Shenhua quickly responded by issuing an official statement announcing the immediate suspension of Mao Jianqing and asking him to do some serious soul-searching.
During the fermentation of the incident, Mao Jianqing not only drunkenly live-streamed until late at night and openly questioned the ability of Shenhua's coach Wu Jingui, but also revealed the drunken behavior of assistant coaches Li Chengming, Zheng Kewei and Zhou Junchen. It is worth mentioning that Shenhua's former player Fan Zhiyi tried to counsel Mao Jianqing over the phone, but Mao Jianqing hung up on him in public, a move that also sparked widespread concern.
Shanghai Shenhua pointed out in an official statement that Mao Jianqing's comments on his personal live broadcast platform were unsubstantiated and seriously damaged the club's reputation and caused harm to coaches and fans. Therefore, the club decided to suspend Mao Jianqing and asked him to reflect deeply.
Shenhua's decisive decision not only sounded the alarm for Mao Jianqing, but also let the coaching team and fans breathe a sigh of relief. In response, fans have expressed their views.
Some fans said, "Suspended? This alcoholic hasn't been fired yet? That's really sentimental! Can you tell us whether the so-called 'impropriety' means exposing the truth that shouldn't be told or making up lies?" Other fans are convinced: "Mao Jianqing's words are absolutely true. Speaking the truth after drinking! No wonder Zhou Junchen can't play good soccer, and can't be blamed on alcoholism and coaching... Mao Jianqing used to be a good seed...
However, there are also fans who believe, "In this industry, there are some truths that cannot be publicized even if they exist. There is chaos in the entertainment industry, and there is chaos in the soccer industry. We all know what we are talking about. Mao Jianqing's action is too radical, why don't you fire him? Being drunk all day and serving as a coach? Stop indulging bad boys. What's the point of not apologizing when something goes wrong?"
