China News Service, Beijing, March 17 (Liu Xingchen) "20 years ago, I collected this football and mistakenly thought that I had got the signature of the golden generation of the national football player. At that time, the authenticity of the signature was not verified."

Before this apology video, Gong Hanlin released a short video on the afternoon of the 17th with the entry #smithing also needs its own hard#.
In the video, he introduced a black and white football that he had collected to netizens.
"The signatures on this are all powerful figures in Chinese football back then, and senior fans will definitely be familiar with them." Facing the camera, Gong Hanlin counted the signatures written on the football.
From Fan Zhiyi, Ma Mingyu, Li Bing, to Ou Chuliang and Sun Jihai, when a string of familiar names appeared before him, Gong Hanlin brought his memory back to the Wulihe Stadium on October 7, 2001.
On that day, Guozu defeated Oman 1-0 and entered the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup finals two rounds ahead of schedule.
An emotional video has attracted praise from netizens.
But at a later date, events reversed.

Former national football goalkeeper Ou Chuliang posted on Weibo and said, "I just saw Mr. Gong Hanlin's signed football. I feel very sorry, because anyone who loves football should be very disappointed to receive this fake." And in order to make up for this mistake , Ou Chuliang decided to give Gong Hanlin a pair of gloves.
He said that it is true love to be able to collect football from 20 years ago, and hope that Gong Hanlin can continue to pay attention to football.
Then came the scene at the beginning of the article.
Gong Hanlin sincerely apologized to Ou Chuliang and many players.
"The players mentioned in the video I posted are all heroes in my heart." Gong Hanlin's words were full of sincerity and respect for the players of the "golden generation" of the national football team.

Indeed, whether it is the debate about the performance of the national football team in recent days or the apology video this time, as Gong Hanlin said, all Chinese fans do not want their team to fall, "We just love deeply and take responsibility. In this sense, you need to be hard on yourself." I also hope that all those who love Chinese football can continue to support the team in their own rational way. After all, the national football team cannot do without the company of fans on the way forward.
