I believe that recently everyone has seen about the mutual hatred between Chinese sketch artist Gong Hanlin and former Chinese men's football captain Feng Xiaoting on social media, and has also been ridiculed by everyone as "Feng Gong War". The beginning of this matter stemmed from Gong Hanlin's comments on the Chinese men's football team: "The annual income is hundreds or even tens of millions, but they are not seen on the court to score goals, which is completely humiliating to the Chinese." Subsequently, Feng Xiaoting secretly satirized Gong Hanlin for not understanding football when responding to netizen comments on social media, and Master Gong was not willing to show weakness and then responded through a small video " I don't understand football, but I will watch the score."
In the face of another recoil in small videos Feng Xiaoting, who is often active in online social media, can no longer sit still, so he posted a heartfelt article in the middle of the night - an emotional long article of more than 2,000 words. Although Feng Xiaoting himself clarified that he did not intend to respond, it can be seen from his article that the central idea of Changwen is still whitewashing the national football team. As a result, the "Feng Gong War" has entered a white-hot stage and has become a topic that everyone has been enjoying for discussion in the past two days.
One thing to say, this long article from Feng Xiaoting is actually very clear in content and logic, and it has also made a very detailed analysis of the various pain points facing the development of Chinese football. The article mentions that Chinese football has been learning from the models of Western countries, but until now it has not found a development model suitable for itself. It was also mentioned that because of the different systems and national conditions of other countries, including other Asian countries, the factors behind the current failure of Chinese football are very complex.
So, why do almost all the netizen comments invariably side with Master Gong? In fact, to be fair, everyone understands the reason, but as a majority of ordinary fans, they see their national team holding a very outrageous salary in the system, but they do not show a matching performance on the field that matches their income, and even do not give back to the fans with a qualified attitude and hard work on the field. The game that coincided with the loss to Vietnam on the first day of the Chinese New Year was a difficult thing for the majority of fans to accept.
What added fuel to the fire was that the women's football team performed very well in the Asian Cup at that time, and in the case of a gap with the opponent in terms of strength, through active scrambling and running, it completed the reversal and won the honor for the country. This is in stark contrast to the way the men's soccer team walks and plays football like a grandfather on the field. And this is why the men's football team is now called the sea cucumber team, whenever the men's football team is mentioned, people's first impression now is to take a generous treatment, accompanied by the Internet celebrity wife, eat a sea cucumber, the night game bungee is the most hilarious, the field is weak and weak. The Chinese men's football team is gradually falling into the whirlpool of public opinion and becoming the target of public criticism.
Feng Xiaoting's words are indeed correct, the pressure of public opinion usually binds the hands and feet of athletes, and it is easy to limit their performance on the field. Excessive pressure to speak on online social media can have a negative impact on the development of sport. However, in today's domination of online social media, it is not a new thing for players to face the pressure of online public opinion. And the majority of fans are actually a large part of the people are transparent, they are not like those keyboard heroes, in the comment area brainless black. This group of people also deeply understands that the development of Chinese football cannot be rushed, but needs to be slowly accumulated through decades or even generations of efforts to see the effect. All they want to see is that the national footballer has a winning heart on the field and the hard work of not accepting defeat. As the saying goes, "Technology doesn't work, physical strength comes together" The national football team can admit that the skills are inferior, but if even the running is not active, the majority of fans can not accept it in any way.
As Chinese basketball superstar Yao Ming once said: "Just enjoy your game like this, don't be happy that others comment on you." The performance of the men's basketball team has also been criticized by fans. In fact, the only way to fight back against these remarks can only win the forgiveness of the fans through better performances on the field. In today's football world, we can see that even world football superstars like Messi and Ronaldo, as long as the current state is not good or does not meet the psychological expectations of fans, they will still be criticized and ridiculed by their home fans. Not to mention that the national football players have not reached the height of these two stars in terms of strength and achievements, so it is not unacceptable to accept the criticism and remarks of the majority of fans. The only thing the national football team can do should respond to the fans with excellent performance on the field and timely improvement in attitude, rather than using moral kidnapping to ask everyone to understand the difficulties of Chinese football development. All Chinese fans hope that their national team can be ashamed and brave, after all, in the football field, the final achievement is to use strength to speak, rather than on social media.
