In the 23rd round of the Chinese Super League, Shandong Taishan unexpectedly beat the powerful Chengdu Rongcheng with a score of 3-0. The result was a surprise to many fans. What's even more amazing is that the goals were scored by Taishan's "Iron Triangle" - Bi Jinhao, Chen Pu and Delgado. The way they celebrated was also quite meaningful, which triggered a lot of discussion.
In the 13th minute of the game, Taishan's sideline ball was sent out quickly, and Huang Zhengyu's long pass accurately sent the ball to the box, Bi Jinhao jumped up and touched the ball with a header, followed by Chen Pu's fierce shot, which was parried out by the keeper. Bi Jinhao grabbed two consecutive headers in the penalty area and finally put the ball into the net, which was also his first goal since joining Taishan. Bi Jinhao was so excited after the goal that he made a gesture of plugging his ears with both fingers when celebrating.
In the 68th minute, Peng Xinli successfully cleared the ball and passed it to Chen Pu in the gap. Chen Pu broke through several defenders with the ball and then shot a powerful right-footed shot to help Taishan take a 2-0 lead. Chen Pu also made a gesture of plugging his ears when celebrating, seemingly venting his dissatisfaction. After all, he seldom adopts this kind of attacking style, and usually gives priority to passing the ball to better-positioned teammates. As the game entered the 89th minute, Taishan was awarded a valuable corner kick. Li Yuanyi took the corner kick, and substitute Delgado quickly stepped in and easily cushioned the ball into the empty net, sealing a 3-0 win for Taishan. Delgado's goal demonstrated his superb shooting skills. After the goal, he closed his mouth behind the goal, a common celebratory gesture on the road that has caused a lot of controversy. Admittedly, these celebrations seem impolite, but as ordinary people, players have their own ways of expressing their emotions. Fans can criticize them, and players naturally respond in their own way. This backlash is usually only directed at individuals. At least in my eyes, these actions didn't cause much of a ripple because there was no personal attack prior to this. Those who really felt uncomfortable may have vented their frustration at them before. To put it in a perhaps inappropriate way, "If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to be afraid of the devil's door."
