On the evening of September 5, the national football team played away against Japan in the first match of the Asian round of 18 of the World Preliminary Championship. In the end, the national football team lost 0-7 to Japan. In fact, in the face of world-class teams, China's defeat was actually expected.
What is unacceptable is that the national football team will lose so ugly and hit a record low. What makes people angry is that the national football team can't play directly, low-level mistakes continue, there are no tactics, no cooperation, no scramble, and even physical confrontation.
Former football player Fan Zhiyi scolded angrily after watching the game: "If it weren't too far away, I would have wanted to jump headlong into the Huangpu River!" ”
After the game, Japan players and fans humiliated China, and their media even claimed that "there is nothing to be proud of in defeating the Chinese team, not because we are too strong, but because the opponent is too weak." In the face of naked sarcasm, Chinese fans can only crush their teeth and swallow in their stomachs, extremely aggrieved.
The bloodless players of the national football team have become the target of criticism from netizens. Some people also found that football goalkeeper Wang Dalei did not dare to look directly at the camera during the post-match interview, and directly ignored the reporter's questions.
It is worth noting that Wang Dalei wears studs, tattoos, and a mustache.
You must know that since 2021, the state has repeatedly asked the national football team not to allow tattoos, why is "earrings and tattoos" now the standard configuration of the national football team?
Compared to the football players of other countries, whether they are the best in the world or the bottom of the list, they are all dressed up cleanly. It can be said that except for China, it is rare to see such bells and whistles of "small thinking".
This makes one wonder if it's kicking? Or is it a draft? Netizens exclaimed: "If you have that little spare time, you might as well study how to score a goal on the field!" "The point is, it's not pretty."
Compared to other countries, Chinese players are covered in tattoos, wear studs, and trim their beards. After all, on behalf of China, shouldn't the aesthetics be too selfish, and consider the face of the country?
Take 10,000 steps back and say that now when Internet celebrities are live broadcasting, do they still know how to cover tattoos with things? What's more, these are the existence of national athletes!
In 2021, the General Administration of Sports of China issued the "Overall Plan for the Reform and Development of Chinese Football", which requires national football players not to be allowed to get new tattoos since the issuance of the regulations, and to clean up the players who have already tattooed.
In the event of non-cooperation, penalties will be imposed in accordance with the disciplinary guidelines in the regulations. A flower arm is already very excessive, not to mention a tattooed one like Wang Dalei, from the leg to the arm to the neck, it is really "unsightly".
In fact, an earring and a tattoo are not worth causing such a big storm of public opinion. This suddenly reminded people that during the Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team was questioned by netizens for "not doing their job".
Netizens believe that this will make the athletes' focus before the competition not how to review today's rhythm and plan, but whether the line is drawn well or not, and whether the eyelashes will fall out.
I believe there is no need to say much about the level of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and the world's top level will still suffer such doubts. What's more, football, which is the "national sports balancer", should put all your thoughts on scoring goals.
In fact, Chinese fans have made the national football team numb. Recalling the money refund brother who shouted "refund money" outside the stadium seven years ago, after watching the game this year, he was not as excited as in previous years. Instead, his daughter couldn't cry.
Brother Huiqian's evaluation of the performance of the national football team can be summed up in two words: "disappointed, expected", but these two words are enough to summarize the mood of all Chinese fans.
You must know that after the Chinese team, San Marino, which is ranked last in the world, finally won after 20 years. Chinese football has been in the world for 30 years, and losing has long become a habit. This is not a kind of torture for fans.
If the Chinese team can seize the only opportunity to score on the field this time, I believe the fans will not be so sad, they are even more sad that the country and fans have been working hard for football for decades, but to this day, football has not made any progress.
Even in a world-class game, you can see the players playing badly and the most basic mistakes, which makes people even more sad. The audience shouted cheers, and the players on the field sat on the ground with dull eyes. How can this not be sad?
In fact, the expectations and requirements of Chinese fans for the national football team have been reduced to the minimum, and it can be said that there is none. Don't say anything about earring tattoos, compared to saying that the national football team can cause an upset, as long as you do your best, you won't lose so ugly, and you won't have so much pressure from public opinion.
When the technology has been complained about to a certain extent, netizens will find other things to vent their anger. After all, foreign coaches have also been invited, and sea cucumbers have also been eaten, what else can I do?
Is the national football team really bloodless? Lost the courage to turn over? If Chinese football wants to be strong, it needs to do more than just improve its skills. If it were that simple, football would not become a "shame" for China.
Take Li Tie, the former coach of the national football team, as an example, it is not an exception to manipulate the score and make money. At that time, how wide the matter was involved, I believe netizens still remember it vividly. Therefore, it is not easy to rectify the football circle and make it cleaner and more pure.
However, the country has never given up on cracking down on these lawbreakers, and only by strictly grasping the black sheep will Chinese football have a better tomorrow.
Now netizens are still willing to focus on football, and some words may be too extreme and one-sided, but if one day in the future everyone is unwilling to scold the national football team, it means a complete disappointment, which makes people feel even more sad.
We don't know how many years the national football team has to go in the future, we don't know when we will be able to win a gold medal, and we don't know how long fans can hold on to it.
However, as football is a traditional competitive sport in China, we should have the responsibility and obligation to carry it forward so that it will not become a "dictatorial" sport for foreigners.
