Gu Zizhe: Once shouted by wolfburg teammates for mistakes, "Why did Chinese come to play in the Bundesliga"

Recently, South Korean star Ji Ji-chul talked about a sad incident during his time at Wolfsburg. He said he was racially abused by a teammate who treated him as a Chinese after a mistake and said Chinese was not worthy to play in the Bundesliga.

Gu Zizhe said: "At that time, the team was always winning, and my personal performance was also very good. But the day of the match against Hoffenheim was very strange, I felt inexplicably panicked before the game, and after entering the stadium, I was completely unconfident and very nervous. ”

"Playing in this state, mistakes are inevitable. Sure enough, in about 20 minutes, trouble arose. I was going to pass the ball back to the goalkeeper, but it ended up going to the feet of the opposing striker and the ball went in. Fortunately, in the end, the team won. ”

(On 21 September 2013, Wolfsburg beat Hoffenheim 2–1 at home.) In the 15th minute, a mistake was made by the goalkeeper with a return pass from Gu Zizhe, and Hoffenheim striker Modeste seized the opportunity to score a goal to open the scoring. Gu Zizhe was replaced in midfield and eventually won with Oric's two-time Wolfsburg comeback. ）

"Racism happened the next day. The person who taunted me was the substitute goalkeeper in the team, and the man taunted: 'Why did Chinese come to the Bundesliga to play?' You're really a good helper. I was very angry and went to the tour leader and said I was being racially discriminated against and I was leaving. ”

"I told the top brass that I would announce it to all the media and that I would definitely move away in the winter window. The seniors, aware of the seriousness of the matter, called the substitute goalkeeper and asked him to apologize to me. Eventually the substitute goalkeeper apologized to me and invited me to his house for dinner. ”

"I was really, very sad at that time."

Despite the eventual apology, Gu Zizhe left Wolfsburg in the winter window of that season, only half a year after he joined the team.

Gu Zizhe did not specifically disclose the name of the substitute goalkeeper. Looking at the Wolfsburg first-team roster for the 13/14 season, the substitute goalkeepers of that season will be Dreyves, who is currently playing for Bochum, and Max Green, who is currently playing for Borussia Monchengladbach.
