In the fourth round of the Chinese Super League, Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic defeated Henan Songshan Longmen 3-2, Xu Liang said in the commentary: "This is the rule that the athlete is not allowed to measure the steps, the measuring steps is to get a yellow card, whether it is the offensive side or the defender can not measure, this is the fifacious referee rules in the new referee rules." So this (yellow card) is not a problem at all, he himself is saying... To tell the truth, he has a yellow card on him, to put it bluntly, to say it is ugly, he is still committing crimes here, committing crimes..."
After the game, Xu Liang apologized on Weibo for his remarks, he wrote: "Today in the Chongqing VS Henan match, my explanation used inappropriate words, my emotions were in the game at that time, and everyone knows that I spent some time in the Henan team, and I had a certain relationship with the team, at that time, Shunic's behavior I was really anxious, and I also hated the state of iron and steel, which led me to say something that hurt Henan fans, and I said sorry to Junic and Henan. I hope you can understand this special feeling between me and the team. ”

On the evening of May 9, the fourth round of the 2021 Chinese Super League Guangzhou Division Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic was against Henan Songshan Longmen. In the 68th minute of the game, Xu Liang, a guest of Tencent Sports Live Commentary, openly insulted our club player Shunik for being "despicable", causing harm to the club and the majority of Henan fans, causing adverse social impacts.
