In the world of football, emotions are stirring and surging at any time. But when this passion goes beyond the boundaries of sportsmanship, it becomes a scene that everyone does not want to see. Recently, Chengdu Rongcheng goalkeeper Zhang Yan caused a series of reflective incidents because of a mistake in a game.
The turn of the game, the goalkeeper's mistakes
Chengdu Rongcheng team in the competition with Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, originally led by a big score of 3-0, but in the end almost lost the victory. Zhang Yan, as the team's goalkeeper, made a mistake at a critical moment in the game, which directly led to the opponent's consecutive goals, almost allowing the Chengdu Rongcheng team to pass by the victory.
The storm of public opinion, the failure of the response
After the game, Zhang Yan was questioned by some fans because of his performance on the field. However, in the face of criticism from fans, Zhang Yan chose to respond with vicious words, and even humiliated a female fan, using unpleasant words. Such actions quickly aroused widespread discontent and condemnation.
In this regard, the relevant media said: The rhetoric is unsightly, and the quality needs to be improved urgently. Next, wait for the club's ticket.
The embarrassment of the apology, the questioning of the attitude
Under pressure from the top management of the Chengdu Rongcheng club, Zhang Yan deleted the inappropriate remarks and issued a letter of apology. However, the apology does not seem to have been widely accepted by the public. Subsequently, a series of actions by Zhang Yan on social media, including revising his profile to imply provocation, once again proved the insincerity of his apology and raised questions about whether he really recognized his mistake.
Some media people made it clear: Ma Xiaowei, the media head of the China Super League, mentioned Zhang Yan's incident yesterday. When criticizing Zhang Yan's "words and deeds", he emphasized that similar behavior will be "severely cracked down" this year, and Zhang Yan is likely to be disciplined by the Football Association next.
Reflection on career, the foresight of Beijing Guoan
Zhang Yan was an outstanding player in Beijing Guoan 97 Academy, and his expectations were extremely high. But in the face of fierce competition and endless new stars, Zhang Yan failed to gain a firm foothold in Guoan and eventually left the team. Now, seeing Zhang Yan's series of immoral behaviors in Chengdu Rongcheng, many Guoan fans bluntly said that Guoan's original decision was correct, but fortunately he was not kept! This is a consideration of a player's professionalism, and it is also a protection of the club's image and team atmosphere.
As a Chinese Super League player, it is surprising that he disrespects women and makes meat jokes like this. The management of social media for professional players is also a typical case of Chengdu Rongcheng Club presenting a typical case for the entire Chinese Super League. This season, Chengdu Rongcheng's immediate combat power has improved a lot, and it has the opportunity to impact the AFC Champions League places, but if it is not done well and strictly managed, the conflict between players and fans may deepen. Fan culture does need to be accumulated, which cannot be improved within a year or two with a post-match BGM chorus, but requires more than 10 seasons of efforts to build fan culture in the league. The intensification of contradictions in this incident has a great impact on the team and even the entire Chinese Super League.
This incident between Chengdu Rongcheng and Zhang Yan is not only a lesson about the professional behavior of players, but also a test of the professionalism of the entire Chinese football. The contest on the pitch will eventually end, but the interaction and respect between the players and the fans should last forever. For Zhang Yan, this incident may be an opportunity to re-examine his own behavior and attitude, and for Chengdu Rongcheng and the entire Chinese football world, it is a moment of deep reflection and learning.
