"Celebrities earn tens of millions of dollars, and they are still evading taxes; a football team earns 3 million, 5 million or even tens of millions a year, and they are not seen scoring goals on the field, which is a complete shame for the Chinese." Comedy performance artist Gong Hanlin's remarks a few days ago attracted widespread public attention.
When replying to fans' questions about whether to retire or not, Feng Xiaoting said that he was about to retire: "Give way to Gong Hanlin."
This remark once again pushed Chinese football to the forefront of public opinion.

On the 14th, Gong Hanlin released a video sketch through social platforms. One of the lines was: "How can I be ashamed of me playing a sketch? I think it's a little shameful for you, the so-called expert who understands the ball."
On the evening of the 14th, Feng Xiaoting posted a long article on social platforms and spoke his heart.
"In this world, there is no real empathy. All we can do is stay on the path we choose and not give up."
Feng Xiaoting believes that over the years, Chinese football has been learning France, Italy, and the Netherlands in a cycle, but finally lost himself.
On the evening of February 1, Beijing time, the Chinese team played away against Vietnam in the 8th round of the Asian Top 12 World Preliminary Tournament.
Before this campaign, the national football team had only a theoretical possibility of promotion, and the Vietnamese team had suffered a 7-game losing streak.
However, in the 9th minute of the game, Hu Jincai scored the first goal for the home team.
In the 16th minute, Nguyen Jinling extended the lead for the Vietnamese team.
In the second half, Pan Wende and Xu Xin scored goals successively, locking the final score at 3:1.
After losing to Vietnam, the national football team bid farewell to the Qatar World Cup completely.

From Feng Xiaoting's point of view, strange phenomena have also appeared on the Internet. As long as the title is related to the negative news of the national football team, it will definitely get a lot of traffic, so the rhythm and slander keep going.
"The football association brought sponsors to the players to help make promotional videos, and inexplicably became 'Brother Sea Cucumber'." He admitted that many players felt chilled.
Feng Xiaoting said that he respects every industry. In fact, it is not only the hard work of athletes, but it is not easy for all walks of life. Some can be seen, and some are hidden behind the sadness.
What Chinese football needs to improve is doers, not keyboard warriors.
In this regard, netizens also expressed their attitudes.
Some people think that the players should be given more understanding, and some people say, "Improve yourself more. Only when you have the strength will someone listen. If you don't have the strength, it's just ridiculed. After spending so much money, what is there to say about such a result? "

As Feng Xiaoting said, as long as there is negative news about the national football team, it will definitely get a lot of traffic, which has become the norm.
There are many reasons for such a result, but the most important one is nothing more than two words: grades.
No matter how many challenges and difficulties there are, it is an indisputable fact that the national football team has disappointed fans time and time again.
Without achievements, there is no right to speak, and the public opinion environment continues to deteriorate, which is also in line with objective laws.
Now the reputation of Chinese football has fallen to the bottom, there is no passerby at all.
The strength is already backward, the performance does not meet the requirements, and the popularity of the passers-by is scattered, which leads to one-sided public opinion.
Falling into such a vicious circle, it is reasonable that the current situation of Chinese football is so bad.
Freezing three feet is not a day's cold.
The problem of Chinese football has been discussed back and forth for decades, and it is obviously unscientific to simply attribute it to a certain person, a certain game, or even a certain group.
Feng Xiaoting said that there is no real empathy in this world.
Indeed, all walks of life have their own difficulties.
The desire to be "fully understood" therefore borders on a luxury in itself.
If you say a thousand words and ten thousand, you need to be hard on yourself.
If you can't change most people's minds overnight, you can only start with yourself, bit by bit.
To change others, you must first change yourself.
I hope that everyone who loves Chinese football can keep their feet on the ground and make themselves a "doer".
