On January 4, Beijing time, the Chinese Super League announced the annual best selections for the 2023 season, and the list sparked heated discussions on the whole network as soon as the list was released. Fans questioned that these selections were just to gain popularity, to see the fame of the team and the players.
Let's start with the Fair Play Award, which was won by four teams. They are Changchun Yatai, Wuhan Three Towns, Shanghai Shenhua, and Shanghai SIPG. Among these four teams, Yatai and Shenhua can be understood, and the three towns can barely get on. But SIPG won the fair play award, this reward is a bit too amateurish, right? In the 2023 season, SIPG created a controversy TEDA, and even said that some fouls, SIPG can get a penalty, and other teams may not have it!
The second is the annual MVP award of the Chinese Super League, which was won by Wu Lei! In the 2023 season, Wu Lei scored 18 goals, only one more goal than Leona, and ranked among the top scorers in the silver boot! Judging from the goal data, Wu Lei is indeed very eye-catching, but from the performance of key games and the scoring rate, Wu Lei is ridiculously poor. In key games and strong dialogues, Wu Lei is basically invisible, and the number of times he wastes a single goal is more than the number of goals he scores, and the performance of the national team that fans expect is not worth mentioning, and it can't support the wall at all.
The third is the selection of the Golden Whistle of the Chinese Super League, and Ma Ning successfully won the Golden Whistle of the Chinese Super League in the 2023 season. The result of this selection is also dissatisfying! Ma Ning can create a lot of controversial decisions every season. Especially in the game between the three towns and SIPG, Wei Shihao directly applauded and mocked Ma Ning's penalty, which created such a huge controversy and blowing the penalty, Ma Ning can still be elected as a golden whistle, this is a big joke, if it can be vetoed, Ma Ning should be kicked out of the golden whistle selection list in this game!
In response to the above three selection results, the fans also joked: "Tell a joke: Harbor Fair Play Award, Ma Ning Golden Whistle" "Harbor wins Fair Play Award, hehe!", "Every year Wu Lei, it can be seen that Chinese football has a lot of vegetables" "Shouldn't the Golden Whistle be Maimaitijiang? Almost all the key games are blown by him! Why did Ma Ning win the award?" "It's ridiculous Chinese football! A certain team can still win the Fair Play Award, haha, entertain yourself!"
There is no doubt that with the current status quo of Chinese football, the best of the year in the Chinese Super League, no matter who wins it, will be controversial. This is bound to lower the expectations of the media and fans for the results of these popular awards.
