Wu Lei: I grabbed Sun Xingmin and warned him You, as a world-class player, should not provoke Chinese fans after scoring a goal
On March 31, it was reported that the national football team lost 0-3 to the South Korean team in the previous world preliminaries, and the national football striker Wu Lei once pulled Sun Xingmin's jersey and angrily scolded the other party to make a "shut up" gesture at the fans. In this regard, Wu Lei talked about the conversation with Sun Xingmin at that time in the latest interview with CCTV.
On the evening of November 21 last year, in the second round of Group C of the second stage of the Asian region of the World Preliminaries, the national football team lost 0-3 to the South Korean team at home.
Before the game, when the South Korean players collectively sang the national anthem, the Chinese fans at the scene booed. When South Korean striker Son Heung-min scored a penalty, he deliberately ran to the stands where the Chinese team fans were, put his index finger to his mouth and made a "shut up" gesture.
The move also angered the national football players on the field. In this regard, Wu Lei protested, stepped forward and grabbed Sun Xingmin's arm, and warned Sun Xingmin not to provoke the home fans.
A few days ago, Wu Lei talked about the content of the conversation with Sun Xingmin in an interview with CCTV's "Football Night" column.
"He (Wu Lei) said that when he played against South Korea, he and Son Heung-min said, 'As a world-class player, you shouldn't make a provocative celebration in front of our fans after scoring a goal'. ”
In this regard, reporter Lin Denuo expressed his opinion on Wu Lei's interview, he wrote on Weibo: "As far as the facts are concerned, Sun Xingmin's mistake is wrong, and there is no problem at all when he is criticized, and even within the scope of the rules, even an ordinary fan is qualified to tell him that he can't do this." Don't we all say, 'Isn't it that I can't criticize this refrigerator for not being able to refrigerate?'"
In this regard, netizens said, "People were on the scene, when the national anthem was booed before the game, and people scored a goal and made a "shut up" gesture to the audience, I personally feel that there is nothing incomprehensible, after all, the position is different"
"Don't engage in so many competitive sports, the best response to provocation is to win back"
"This kind of thing is very common on the court, and it is better to enhance the strength on the line"
"Asian buddy negotiates Asian buddy"
"I'd love to see the king of martial arts go to the Korean fans to be so provocative, but... ”
"You can eat a jar of kimchi after you play well, but the problem is that you can't kick well, it's okay to lie down when you are beaten, there is no hard power"
"Sun Xingmin's reaction I think is still reasonable. If our national anthem is booed, how do you think Wei Shihao will react after he scores?"
"There's nothing wrong with Wu Lei, but the team is too vegetable, so people can hold back what they do."
