On the evening of February 10, a piece of content on social media about The rising star of Chinese badminton men's doubles Di Zijian attracted the attention of many fans and netizens. In the chat records of the two suspected ex-girlfriends of Di Zijian, Di Zijian complained that he was not satisfied with his current situation in the team, especially his former partner and doubles coach, and even rose to the height of regional discrimination. In addition, according to Di Zijian's personal disclosure, he will deliberately lose in international competitions, the purpose is to bet that the ball can make money. Perhaps it is precisely because Di Zijian's behavior in private is very different from his image on the field, so the ex-girlfriend posted that she was glad that she could get rid of such a person.
Born in 2001, Di Zijian, from Liaoning, a strong province with a badminton tradition, because his father was a badminton player, Di Zijian began to play from a young age, and entered the provincial team from the provincial sports school, and entered the national youth team in 2016, starting to partner with Wang Chang of Zhejiang in men's doubles. In 2017, Di Zijian was officially selected for the national team and began to participate in the experience of participating in international competitions, he and Wang Chang cooperated tacitly to win the men's doubles championship of the Asian Youth Games for two consecutive years, and in 2018, they reached the top in the men's doubles and men's teams of the World Youth Championships, and the two gradually grew into the strength of the new generation of men's doubles in the Tokyo Olympic Games cycle. In 2021, Di Zijian and Wang Chang were selected for the Thomas Cup roster and won the runner-up with the team, and at the World Championships at the end of last year, the two played for the first time, regrettably losing to the Japanese combination in the first round and being eliminated by a round of travel.
With the announcement of the adjustment plan of the doubles combination some time ago, Di Zijian and Wang Chang were also dismantled, and the two will be paired with Huang Kaixiang and Liang Weiheng respectively, starting from the Osaka Open in April this year. At that time, the team did not explain why the young group was split, but the chat records exposed by Di Zijian's ex-girlfriend saw the clues. It turned out that between Di Zijian and his partner Wang Chang, they had long been inseparable, so it was not difficult to understand the bad results of the recent year.
In Di Zijian's view, as a Liaoning athlete, he was disliked by the team, plus his partner and the coach in charge were all from the same place in Zhejiang, so he did not have a special heart for him. The usual event registration did not take care of him, so he felt very chilled, lacking the opportunity to exercise in international competitions. For this reason, Di Zijian has produced regional discrimination, and even magnified to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. For female athletes, Di Zijian is also exaggerated, saying that Chinese female singles athletes are too masculine and not feminine at all, which is a bit sexist, so it has triggered the disgust of his ex-girlfriend.
And the most difficult thing to accept is probably that Di Zijian exposed himself to playing fake balls and suspected of gambling balls. Judging from the chat history, it was October 18, 2021, that is, after the end of last year's Sudirman Cup and Tongyou Cup, during the Danish Open and the French Open of the BWF European Series. Di Zijian and Wang Chang played against an Indonesian combination in the first round, Di Zijian was ready to deliberately lose the first set, fight later, win and win, lose and lose, the purpose is to make more money. As a result, in that game, the two directly lost two games in a row, and whether Di Zijian made money by participating in gambling because of deliberately losing, we don't know, but it is really sad to have such thoughts and thoughts. I hope that in response to This series of remarks by Di Zijian, the National Feather side can have a positive response and deal with it, otherwise this unhealthy trend will probably affect more young generations.
