On December 6, Beijing time, in the 1/8 finals of the World Cup, the South Korean team lost to Brazil 1-4 and was scored four goals by the opponent in the first half. . Before the game, some Korean fans displayed a banner with a score of 7-1 to "humiliate" the Brazilian team. After the tragic defeat, Sun Xing_ accepted an interview, saying that he had tried his best and hoped that the fans could understand.

The Korean team performed very well in this world championship. Originally an Asian team that was not very promising at all, they were assigned to a group with Portugal, Uruguay and Ghana in the group stage. They were regarded as "cannon fodder" before the game. However, they fought tenaciously all the way, drew with Uruguay, and defeated Portugal, creating a record. A miracle of qualifying. Although they lost to Brazil in the 1/8 finals, the strength of the two teams was already very different. As long as they fought hard, it would be considered an honor to lose. However, the provocative behavior of the fans before the game was in sharp contrast to the final score. The "slap in the face" was so loud that it was difficult to ignore it.

Before this game, the South Korean team’s confident calculations were heard even in outer space. Many Korean fans and media people are shouting on social platforms that if they can beat Portugal, they can beat Brazil, and they have to advance to the semifinals and finals, and then win the world championship. Confidence is not a bad thing, but you can't be blind, let alone be a hooligan. The World Cup is a competition between national teams. Fans from each country support their national teams, no matter how enthusiastic or protective they are, but isn’t it enough to express support and cheer hard for their own team? Why should we? Disrespectfully humiliate your opponent?

South Korean fans humiliated Brazil with a 7-1 score

Moreover, the 7-1 score banner held high by Korean fans was based on the past event of Germany's 7-1 victory over Brazil. This is very confusing. If you want to talk about being awesome, the most awesome was Germany back then. What does it have to do with South Korea? Anyway, let’s take the previous record of South Korea’s victory over Brazil as an example! Of course, it is also possible that the last time South Korea defeated Brazil was in a friendly match in 1999, with a score of 1:0, which may not be very impressive.

Judging from the results, this kind of mindless and boring provocation is of course self-defeating. From a process perspective, cheering for one's own team in this way may be counterproductive.

As soon as the Brazilian team came on the field, they were full of fighting spirit and unstoppable. They scored a goal every ten minutes and completely sealed the victory in only 36 minutes. They did not give the Korean team any chance. You guessed it, it was like off the court. Does this mocking stimulation matter? It can be seen that harsh words are like water, and competition is like a boat. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it!

Saudi fans provoke Lewandowski before the game

Football is a passionate sport that can easily make people's adrenaline surge. Therefore, provocative behavior on and off the field has almost never disappeared. Pass. Just talking about this World Cup, Poland played against Saudi Arabia, and Saudi fans raised a banner to challenge Lewandowski: "We have defeated Messi, where is Lewandowski?" As a result, Saudi Arabia lost to Poland 0:2, and Lewandowski also entered the World Cup. The first goal can be said to be elated! When Croatia played against Japan, Japanese fans put up slogans provoking Modric in the stands. As a result, although Japan fought tenaciously until the penalty shootout, Croatia still won 3:1 on penalty kicks and eliminated Japan with a total score of 4:2. It can be seen that competitive sports still have to rely on strength and on-field performance. Fans doing some excessive things are really of no use except to offend others.

Japanese fans raised signs to challenge Modric in the stands

Some people may say that this kind of provocation and shouting is also a kind of football culture, and players on the field often do this. For example, after Saudi Arabia defeated Argentina in the group stage, the Saudi defender went to provoke Messi and shouted, "You will not win"; Portugal played against South Korea, and Korean player Cho Kyu-sung urged Cristiano Ronaldo to leave the field quickly when he was substituted. Cristiano Ronaldo choked him to shut up, and Cho Kyu-sung later accused him in the interview: "Cristiano Ronaldo is a 'Ronaldo bandit'!" That's right, it's the world's top arena, these world-class players, they are doing such childish things The quarrel also made the fans enjoy themselves.

This is indeed a helpless reality. Since the beginning of modern football, "provocation" has been closely associated with football.

Because the essence of football is confrontation, and it is a very fierce confrontation. In many cases, winning or losing is not just the result on the field, but also represents the honor of the city, country, and nation. It is difficult for people to maintain a peaceful mind when competing for victory. In a life-and-death atmosphere, conflicts and confrontations may be inevitable.

If you just hold up a banner and say harsh words, it doesn't matter, but the scale of "provocation" is difficult to grasp. In the match between Qatar, the host country of this World Cup, and Ecuador, Ecuador clearly had the upper hand. , and its fans also wildly mocked and provoked Qatari fans. They even made gestures of counting money, which caused both parties to lose control of their emotions and almost led to a serious conflict. This is not just a "cultural" issue, it may cause security issues on the spot, which is very dangerous and unnecessary.

In the final analysis, the glory of football comes from the field. In competitive sports, performance is the last word. Harsh words are not terrible. Whoever picks them will be embarrassed, but provocation is terrible. It is flammable and explosive. Football is round. , it’s not just about playing one game. Only by watching football in a civilized and rational manner can you watch it often. A fan in Saudi Arabia was very smart. After Lewandowski scored, he took off his Saudi jersey on the spot, revealing the Polish jersey underneath, and started cheering for Lewandowski! With a flexible body and supreme happiness, you will naturally be in an "invincible position".
