On April 30, Beijing time, the fourth round of the Chinese Super League will usher in the most watched match, Shanghai Port home to Shanghai Shenhua Shanghai derby. It was the first derby in Shanghai in three years, and both sides were looking forward to it. The "Shanghai Derby" outside the stadium was staged ahead of schedule before the official start of the game.
This afternoon, a blogger exposed a video of the conflict between Shenhua fans and Shanghai fans on the Internet. In the video, fans wearing blue Shenhua jerseys were besieged by a number of SIPG fans wearing red jerseys, and many SIPG fans punched and kicked the fallen Shenhua fan, and Shenhua fans had no way to fight back. Since the video only captured this clip, it is unclear why the incident occurred and the final outcome of the incident.
The only thing that is clear at present is that a number of SIPG players surrounded the Shenhua players who fell down. According to the news of netizen "FelixDreamer-YNWA" with the IP address of Shanghai, this matter was an unprovoked beating by SIPG fans, and the Shenhua fans who were beaten never fought back.
According to the video exposed by the blogger "Lao Li_A Zahua", 2 Shenhua fans were standing on the zebra crossing, and after the SIPG fans found them across the road, they walked straight to them, and then a SIPG fan directly slapped the white-clothed Shenhua fans, and then the SIPG fans began to punch and kick. Judging from the video, Shenhua fans did not fight back.
"Lao Li_A Zahua" appealed to the Football Association to ban SIPG's home stadium qualification and all SIPG fan organizations.
It is worth noting that yesterday both clubs issued an initiative to watch the game in a civilized manner, calling on fans to watch the game in a civilized manner, bringing more positive energy to Shanghai and setting a good example for children. But obviously, this initiative does not convince everyone, and those who want to do things will still take the opportunity to do things.
Since the incident did not happen during the game and was not within the scope of the Pudong Football Stadium, it is likely that SIPG will not be punished by the Football Association for this, but things such as unprovoked beating of opponent fans will still have a bad impact on SIPG's image.
As of press time, SIPG officials have not responded to this matter. This incident has "poured oil" on fans on both sides and added a lot of pressure to the security of tonight's game. In the previous two consecutive rounds, fans have thrown things from the stands, and the Chengdu Division, where the main venue of Chengdu Rongcheng is located, was also warned by the Football Association that SIPG needs to avoid clashes between fans in the stadium as much as possible tonight.
I hope that all fans will still focus on the game, do not use the game to make things, and remember the saying, "if you win, you lose money, if you lose, you will be hospitalized".
