Chinese men's football anecdote: the professional team canteen was exposed, and he ate fries for lunch! The fans cursed
In recent years, the Chinese men's football circle can be described as extremely uneven, not only the national team has a bad record, but the league has also suffered from "fake gambling black" and financial crisis, the so-called "professionalization" is becoming more and more untrue. Recently, in a promotional video officially released by the Chinese League One team Guangxi Pingguo Haga, "junk food" such as chicken fries appeared in the club's canteen. Such a jaw-dropping amateur operation not only caused strong dissatisfaction among fans, but also made people worry about the "pseudo-professionalization" of the current Chinese men's football environment.
On October 18, Guangxi Pingguo Haga Club released a video with the content of "Guangxi Chinese League One Professional Team Eat on Match Day, 4 Meat and 4 Vegetarian Eaten". Originally, it was just a plain video showing the team's daily life, but when introducing the dishes, fans found that Guangxi Pingguo Haga actually served chicken fries as one of the lunch dishes for the players, and gave a close-up shot.
The move immediately aroused strong skepticism from fans. Some fans said in the comments: "A professional club actually gives players chicken fries? What is the truth of this? Another fan said: "Giving junk food to players on match day, is the club's logistics all amateur?" Indeed, as we all know, for professional athletes, high-calorie fried food is absolutely taboo, and operations such as Guangxi Pingguo Haga that are openly placed in the canteen for players to eat are unheard of, and can be called a major wonder in the history of the professionalization of Chinese men's football.
In fact, players eating junk food is nothing new in China or even in world football. Previously, when the Chinese national football team played overseas games, it was revealed that the national football players drank alcohol on the plane and ate fried potato chips, which caused controversy. Judging from the Guangxi Pingguo Haga incident, the club's back kitchen directly supplies chicken fries to the players' canteen, perhaps this is how the tradition of Chinese male footballers liking "junk food" came from. The all-round "amateur" of the Chinese men's football team can also be seen from this.
