Focus on sports information and pay attention to Chinese football.
On September 21, it was supposed to be an ordinary league match between Henan and Chengdu Rongcheng in the 26th round of the Chinese Super League, but it was overshadowed by sudden street violence on the eve of the game.
The "powder keg" was ignited in advance due to the out-of-control behavior of the fans outside the stadium.
According to multiple video materials, the incident occurred outside the hotel where the Chengdu Rongcheng team stayed, and the conflict between the fans of the two sides quickly escalated, from the initial verbal dispute to a fierce physical conflict.
It can be seen through the picture that the fans on both sides are fists and feet, and even holding instruments, the scene is chaotic and very worrying.
According to netizens, the cause of the conflict is suspected to be that a Chengdu fan was besieged by Henan fans near the away team's assembly point, and experienced a bad incident of pushing, beating and even property robbery, although this news has not been officially confirmed, but it is enough to ignite the anger of fans on both sides.
The scale and impact of this conflict are rare.
It is estimated that more than 100 fans participated in the brawl, and not only were red smoke bombs thrown at the scene, but also items such as shared bicycles were used as attack tools, and even worse, the appearance of flare guns pushed the tension to the top.
Despite the swift intervention of security personnel in an attempt to control the situation, it was clear that the out-of-control fan sentiment had been unquelled, and the farce not only disrupted the harmony of the city, but also caused further damage to the image of Chinese football.
This incident has gone far beyond the scope of sports competition and has become a serious social security incident.
The police have intervened in the investigation and will deal with the people involved in accordance with the law based on video evidence and other clues.
The healthy development of Chinese football is inseparable from a good fan culture and a rational viewing environment.
As a sport, the charm of football lies in the fierce confrontation and technical and tactical display on the field, rather than the violence and conflict off the field.
For Chinese football, 2023 is supposed to be a year of remarkable results in anti-gang and anti-corruption actions, but the violence among fans has undoubtedly cast a shadow on this positive trend.
If such an incident is known to the international football community, it will undoubtedly further damage the international image of Chinese football.
Therefore, whether it is clubs, league organizers or fans, they should deeply reflect and work together to create a healthy, civilized and rational football cultural atmosphere.
Only in this way can Chinese football win more respect and recognition on the international stage.
