Fan Zhendong lost the foreign war 2-4: Chinese fans on the scene defected to support Tomokazu Zhangmoto
In the WTT Incheon Championship, Fan Zhendong lost to Brazilian player Hugo 2-4 and stopped in the semifinals and missed the championship of this event. Due to the absence of world No. 1 Wang Chuqin in this competition, Fan Zhendong is the No. 1 seed in the tournament and the first favorite to win the championship, but in the end, Xiaopang stopped in the semifinals, which can be said to be an upset.
Previously, the national table tennis coach Li Falcon had revealed to the outside world that the women's team players would deduct 1,000 Olympic points if they lost a foreign battle, and it is unknown whether the men's team has implemented similar rules, if so, this will have a certain impact on Fan Zhendong's Paris Olympic singles quota.
In addition to losing, what made Fan Zhendong feel even more sad was that he was turned against his own fans, a Chinese netizen who watched the game at the scene revealed that when Fan Zhendong played against Japan's Tomokazu Zhang in the round of 8, there were fans in the audience who spoke Chinese to cheer for Tomokazu Zhang, but as a national table tennis player, he could not get the support of his own fans, which would have a mental impact on Fan Zhendong.
Recently, Fan Zhendong has encountered a lot of off-court incidents, during the Singapore Grand Slam, he went to see Swift's concert before the game, when Fan Zhendong was questioned about "not doing his job", when Fan Zhendong was upset and missed the Singapore Grand Slam 3 consecutive championships, the voice of questioning Fan Zhendong became louder and louder.
Later, Fan Zhendong was even harassed, and even caused his family to be abused and cyberbullied, the incident was that another main national table tennis player Wang Chuqin announced his withdrawal from the Incheon Championships, which made some of Wang Chuqin's extreme fans dissatisfied, these fans crossed the bottom line of the law, found Fan Zhendong's ID number information and spread it, which has triggered Fan Zhendong's privacy rights, and also led to some extreme netizens finding the mobile phone number registered as Fan Zhendong through these personal information, these numbers are used by Fan Zhendong's family, for the family to be abused and hurt, Xiaopang can't bear it, and bluntly said that he will call the police to deal with it。
Now, Fan Zhendong came to Incheon, South Korea to play the game, but he did not get the support of some Chinese fans on the scene, it can be said that these Chinese fans are deliberate, they don't want Fan Zhendong to be "good", and the opponent who supports Fan Zhendong in the way of defection is their leader.
As a professional sports athlete, I believe that Fan Zhendong's ability to resist pressure is strong enough to survive these difficulties, losing a foreign war and a championship match of the men's singles championship is not the end, what Fan Zhendong needs to do is to get rid of the influence of external public opinion, re-devote himself to training, strive to win back in the next competition, and strive to achieve the expected goal in the Paris Olympics!
