Before the Tang You Cup, Zhang Jun, chairman of the Chinese Badminton Association, released a video explaining the reasons why Shi Yuqi, the leader of the Mesozoic Generation of the National Badminton Men's Singles, was not selected. Zhang Jun said, "In the semi-final of the Tang Cup last year, Shi Yuqi made an abstention from the match point, and after the game, he made some irresponsible and particularly bad speeches on the Internet. "In this regard, the Chinese Badminton Association has banned Shi Yuqi for one year." The one-year ban was carefully studied by the association and the coaching staff, so this time he could not participate in the Thomas Cup. ”
After Shi Yuqi withdrew, I wrote an article that said that players and teams have their own problems. Players are public figures and bear the consequences of their words and deeds. The team should also increase the guidance of the players in words and deeds, and guide them how to be a public figure and how to face the interview of reporters after training.
At that time, Shi Yuqi's decision to ban the game was not officially announced, but gossip was spreading. And today, after more than half a year, Zhang Jun personally confirmed this news. For Shi Yuqi, a one-year ban is a pro and con, and I personally feel that it may be more favorable. On the one hand, Shi Yuqi did lose some opportunities to compete, which will also affect his own ranking. At the same time, it is also a test for his mentality, whether he can persevere in difficulties. But on the other hand, Shi Yuqi also gained valuable recovery time. Last year's soup cup he was injured, and now there is no pressure of the game, can better recover. And this year, due to the impact of the epidemic, the competition is not much, and it is relatively broken. Now Guoyu has chosen to go abroad for half a year in order to play the game, and the training conditions outside are certainly not as good as at home. If Shi Yuqi can seize this precious year, he may be able to go up to another level after his comeback. As long as the strength allows, the points ranking will come up, the last example is Momota Kendou after the return from the ban, and soon played the high-level competition.
At the same time, I also believe that a ban is a means to help athletes realize their mistakes, but it is not that a ban is the solution to all problems. My point is that Kuniyu still needs to establish its own voice channels and cultivate the ability of athletes to speak and interview. Just like Chen Long, they are all Olympic champions, and as a result, in an interview after losing the game, he said, I think I played well today, and I was sprayed by netizens, and I felt wronged for him. It's the internet age, and there are more ways for athletes and fans to communicate. Athletes are young and vigorous, often outspoken, and sometimes unintentional remarks do bring a little turmoil, and at this point I think the team still needs to strengthen guidance. Especially in some influential events, the team should directly stand up and speak out, rather than let the athletes stand on the front line of public opinion.
As for the fan issues that some people say, I think it is relatively less important. Badminton itself is not particularly large number of fans, in the national feather, the current number of fans should be the IELTS combination, but IELTS is still active on the field, just won the Asian Championship championship. A good idol will not be affected by the inappropriate behavior of fans, but on the contrary, idols can guide their fans to become better and more rational. So my point is that the team and the players should work together to create their own image while competing for gold and silver. I also hope that after Shi Yuqi's comeback, he can achieve better results.
