Why did Gong Hanlin's criticism of the men's soccer team in China cause such a big debate?

Recently, men's soccer team Feng Xiaoting and Gong Hanlin's comments about football in China have been constantly fermenting, which has attracted the attention of many netizens in the society. I don't think it's necessary to be tolerant of men's soccer because of the responses from international players such as Feng Xiaoting and the performance of China football in this year's World Cup. After all, hard power has the right to speak.

On the evening of February 1 Sunday, Beijing time, the eighth round of Group B in Asia of the World Cup started, and the national football team played against Vietnam. In the end, the national football team 1-3 lost to Vietnam, and completely missed FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 in 2022. After that, the labels of dodgeball, eating sea cucumber and losing to Vietnam seem to have been deeply imprinted on the China men's soccer team. Compared with China women's football team, although they are both national football teams, there is still a big gap between them. Before, when the annual salary of men's soccer players was10 million, the salary of women's football in China was that of ordinary office workers. When China men's soccer team ate sea cucumbers every day, China women's soccer team was just ordinary noodles.

China men's soccer team has always been the target of public criticism, because the results are always poor and there are too few good performances. Wang Hailin said that the China men's soccer team can lose to Vietnam on the first day of the Lunar New Year. How dare you? It's also true that Gong Hanlin said that men's soccer teams get high salaries but don't score goals. This is not too much, but these players just can't stand it. They must fight back.

Seeing that China football has been accused so much, some football players came out to play the devil's advocate. People including football media also criticized Gong Hanlin and Feng Gong many times. For example, Dong Lu has repeatedly criticized Gong Hanlin and Feng Gong, saying that they are ball-blind and are not qualified to criticize China football. In addition, the account of China Football Report, a China football media, recently posted a post on social platforms to criticize Gong Hanlin and Feng Gong, saying that mocking China football should have a bottom line.

Unsurprisingly, after this dynamic was issued, it was immediately criticized by many fans and vomited by netizens. In the eyes of fans, China football doesn't even want the bottom line. Why should fans criticize China football and leave a bottom line? Since they can lose even a team like Vietnam, why can't the fans criticize them?

As the center of public opinion, if China Men's Football Team wants to get everyone's tolerance, it should not think about how to respond to online criticism and accusations, but should spend more time and energy on training and competition, and tell the fans and society through their own strength that they never want to give up or lose face to the China team.

From Gong Hanlin's remarks about the income of the national football team to Feng Xiaoting's response, to Feng Gong's satire that the national football team eats sea cucumbers, and to many international teams, online abuse or public opinion attacks can't make the China men's football team better. If you want others' tolerance and understanding, only actions can explain everything.
