There was no accident in the final of the 2021 FA Cup, Shandong Taishan laughed to the end, and beat Shanghai Harbor 1-0 thrillingly, which made sipping fans confidently before the game!
Before the FA Cup final, NetEase Sports interviewed several SIPG fans outside the stadium (above). When asked to predict the score of the match, several SIPG fans predicted the team's victory.
At first, male fans in hats shouted "2-1". But the prediction was refuted by another male fan: "What a 2-to-1, I estimate it's at least 3-0 or more." The female fans next to it were slightly conservative in saying "4-1 or 4-2". Then the male fan, who predicted SIPG's big win, gave his reasons. He said confidently, "We have Yan Junling here, no problem." ”
SIPG fans are optimistic about Yan Junling! Unfortunately, however, Yan Junling is precisely the problem with SIPG.
In the game, it was Yan Junling's mistake to break the siege, which led to the team's loss of the ball. This loss of the ball, Yan Junling's responsibility is not small, since the round of 12, his state and performance are very general, which may also become an opportunity for the national football team to replace the main goalkeeper. In the end, it was with this goal that Shandong Taishan defeated Shanghai Harbor and lifted the FA Cup trophy.
These SIPG fans are too confident to know where the courage to predict that the Harbor team will defeat Shandong Taishan.
Judging from the two meetings between the two sides in the Chinese Super League this season, Shandong Taishan remained unbeaten with 1 win and 1 draw. Moreover, the harbor team's foreign aid Paulinho is absent, and the harbor team, which only plays with 2 foreign aides, simply does not have the hard power to beat the opponent by 3 goals.
In this decisive battle, in addition to the team's competition on the pitch, the fans of both sides also had different degrees of competition outside the field. The harbor team arrived in Chengdu a day later than Taishan in Shandong, and many fans had long been waiting at the airport, pulling the banner of "SHANGHAI Logistics" to pick up the aircraft enthusiastically.
On the day of the match, fans on both sides stood on both sides of the road outside the stadium to welcome the arrival of the team bus.
Shandong Taishan fans stand on this side of the sidewalk, and SIPG fans stand on the other side (above), forming a big PK posture.
Who has more fans? First look at the Shandong Taishan side, at a glance, you can see that there are a lot of fans (below).
What about SIPG? The number of fans is sparse (pictured below), which is about 10 people. Several banners at the time of pick-up were pulled to the cheering scene.
It is reasonable to say that Shanghai is closer to Chengdu than Shandong, and there should be many harbor fans who come to cheer up. Even if there is no Shanghai SIPG fan expedition, is there no SIPG fan in Chengdu? No matter how bad it is, there will not be so few SIPG fans!
Seeing the comparison of the number of fans on both sides, Shandong Taishan and the team reporter "Bullsan Ball" ridiculed it.
On his personal social platform, he wrote: "Tarzan and Harbor fans outside the FA Cup final, there is also advertising support on the harbor side [bad laugh]". Harbor fans still have ad support? Enviable.
The reporter's so-called advertising support should refer to the banner of "SIPG Logistics". From the moment the pick-up team began, the banner also followed these SIPG fans to the outside of the stadium to continue cheering for SIPG. The few SIPG fans interviewed at the beginning of the article should be from it.
Before the match, Harbor player Wang Shenchao had expressed his hope that the team would win the FA Cup and thus realize the team's wish for a Grand Slam, but it backfired, and SIPG had another season without success.
