The Chinese team lost two consecutive games in the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup, conceding a total of 9 goals, and such a fiasco made the fans' hearts cold for a while.
But who would have thought that it was in this context that Wu Lei and Fernando returned to the Chinese Super League but were rejuvenated, one scored a goal, and the other made two passes and one shot, becoming the savior of the team.
Such a contrast can't help but make people wonder: Is the Chinese Super League really that strong?
When it comes to the performance of the national team, it is simply unbearable to look at it directly.
After two games, the Chinese team was like a sandbag being kicked around, and there was no way to fight back.
Wu Lei and Fernando, two players with high hopes, can be said to be quite embarrassing in the national team competition.
Wu Lei ran on the field for 130 minutes, and the result?
Aside from a header and a one-knife fall, there was nothing to show for it.
Against Japan, he even left the game early, as if to say, "I really can't play, you can watch it."
＂
Fernando wasn't much better.
In 150 minutes of playing time, he contributed an assist from a corner.
said that his performance was mediocre, all of which was giving him face.
The performance of these two brothers in the national team is like two children who have just learned to play football, running blindly in an adult game.
A netizen couldn't help but complain: "Looking at their performance in the national team, I doubt that they will play."
Wu Lei fell down with a single knife, and I was embarrassed for him.
Fernando's corner kick assist, maybe it was still blind.
From this point of view, the national football team is really full of talents, but I don't know how these 'talents' are selected.
＂
It is these two players who have a worrying performance in the national team, but after returning to the Chinese Super League, they are judged to be two.
Wu Lei scored a goal as soon as he came on the field and rushed directly to the top of the world scorer list.
Fernando turned into an offensive nuclear weapon, passing two passes and one shot, leading the team to complete the reversal.
That's too much of a contrast, isn't it?
It's like going from a rookie to a superstar, which is even more magical than Transformers.
Some netizens joked: "Did these two eat transformation mushrooms when they were playing in the national team?"
Why did you become so powerful as soon as you returned to the Chinese Super League?
I look at their performance in the Super League, it's like a plug-in.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought I was watching a cartoon.
＂
Such a contrast can't help but make people question the authenticity of the Chinese Super League.
Could it be that the Chinese Super League is a large-scale exhibition game?
The players are showing their true level on the international stage, but in the Chinese Super League, they are acting?
In fact, it is no secret that Chinese football has been corrupt in recent years.
The chairman and deputy director of the Football Association were investigated, the case of Li Tie, the head coach of the national team, and the problem of match-fixing and selling balls emerged one after another.
These problems are like time bombs, which could detonate the entire Chinese football community at any time.
A veteran fan angrily said: "Chinese football is a rotten basket full of rotten apples.
The Football Association was corrupt at the top, coaches and players were selling match-fixes, and the league became a big show.
We, the fans, have watched the ball for so many years, and the results are all fake, isn't this playing tricks on us?
＂
The ban list released by the Football Association makes people sigh at the chaos of Chinese football.
These grounded people, who were supposed to be the pillars of Chinese football, turned out to be synonymous with corruption.
This begs the question: how many shady deals are still being made in the shadows?
How many other match results have been manipulated?
The huge performance gap between the Chinese Super League and international competitions has exposed a harsh reality: the lack of real competition among Chinese players in the league.
They are like flowers living in a greenhouse, and once they face the storm of the international arena, they immediately languish.
Some netizens vividly compared: "The Chinese Super League is like a large-scale game of playing house.
The players are having a lot of fun playing in it and feeling good about themselves.
But when it comes to the international arena, it is like a paper tiger meeting a real tiger, and it is beaten to the ground.
Can such a league produce real football talents?
＂
The problems of the Chinese Super League not only affect the quality of the current game, but also poison the future of Chinese football.
Growing up in such an environment makes it difficult for young players to develop a true competitive spirit and professionalism.
They may be mistaken for the idea that if they do well in the league, they can become a world-class star.
As everyone knows, their "outstanding performance" may just be an elaborate performance.
A football coach worriedly said: "The current Chinese Super League is like a huge bubble.
On the outside, it looks glamorous, but on the inside, it is rotten.
If it is not reformed in time, this bubble will burst sooner or later.
At that time, it is not only the players and the club that will be injured, but the future of Chinese football as a whole.
＂
Wu Lei and Fernando's outstanding performance in the Chinese Super League seems to be something worth celebrating, but it actually exposes the weakness and falsehood of the Chinese Super League.
This false prosperity will not only fail to promote the development of Chinese football, but will become a stumbling block to its progress.
Some netizens pointed out sharply: "The Chinese Super League is now like a large-scale 'village-level football game', but it is dressed in the coat of a professional league."
The players played vigorously in it, and as soon as they arrived on the international stage, they were revealed.
Is there any point in the existence of such a league?
＂
To reverse this situation, it is necessary to fundamentally reform the system of Chinese football.
It is necessary to crack down on corruption and ensure the fairness and impartiality of the league.
It is necessary to improve the overall level of the league, introduce real high-level foreign aid, and create a real competitive environment for Chinese players.
It is necessary to strengthen the construction of the youth training system and cultivate the competitive spirit and professionalism of players from an early age.
Only through all-round reform and strict supervision can we truly improve the quality of the Chinese Super League and narrow the gap with the international level.
Otherwise, players like Wu Lei and Fernando will always be able to "dominate" in the domestic arena and continue to act as a "background board" in the international arena.
The future of Chinese football should not be built on false prosperity.
Only by facing up to problems and having the courage to reform can we truly realize the take-off of Chinese football.
Otherwise, we can only continue to watch Chinese players "perform" in the domestic arena and "get beaten" in the international arena.
Such a cycle not only disappoints the expectations of fans, but also harms the future of Chinese football.
Let's hope that one day, the Chinese Super League can truly become a fair, just and high-level professional league.
At that point, we won't have to be confused about the difference in how players perform at home and abroad.
