This season, ShanghaiSIPGwithShandong Taishanrespectively inSuper Leagueand won the FA Cup runner-up. However, their results provoked mixed reactionsSIPGwas ridiculed as the "average champion", whileShandong Taishanwas satirized as the "King of Sanya".
SIPGThe "average champion" refers to the 2017 season at the timeSIPGA crown is hard to find, and I didn't win any championship, and at that timeSIPGClub staffCheng YaodongAn interesting statement was made: if willSuper LeagueAFC Champions Leagueand the results of the FA Cup are added together to calculate the average scoreSIPGwill surpass GuangzhouEvergrandebecomeSuper League1st place. This statement is jokingly called by the fans".SIPGis the average champion".
Corresponding to this is:Shandong TaishanAlthough they have performed well in several competitions this season, winning second place, they have not won a single title. PlusShandong TaishanAt the beginning of the yearSuper BowlThey were also runners-up, and they became the "King of Sanya" after not being able to win the championship.
Reporter Liu Wenchao is seeingShandong TaishanAfter being ridiculed as the "King of Sanya", he was dissatisfied with the double standard phenomenon of some team fans. He believes that fans of these teams call their own teams "golden" when they finish second, while they ridicule other runners-up as "average champions".
Liu Wenchao pointed out that this phenomenon originated a few years agoSIPGClub**Cheng YaodongThe "average champion" statement. However, he also pointed out the ridiculousness of the joke: the runner-up and the champion are different after all, and there is no need to rank by total points. Although at that timeCheng YaodongIt was said in a self-deprecating way, but later it was misunderstoodSIPGThe label of the team. Liu Wenchao believes that this kind of double standard and misunderstanding are confusedCheng Yaodongpersonal statements and fan ridicule.
In reminiscing about the yearsSIPGWhen the "King of Sanya", Liu Wenchao did not mention itShandong Taishan。This formulation hints at this yearShandong TaishanThe gold content of the runner-up was not that yearSIPGhigh. He mentioned the competitive environment of the year, thinking that it was impactingEvergrandeWhen such a strong team is concerned, people usually think of itSIPGNational securitywithSuningand other teams, without mentioningShandong Taishan。This illustratesShandong TaishanThe gap between these top teams.
Despite this, Liu Wenchao also said that he was rightSuper LeagueThe support of the team and hope that every team can play well in the runners-up. He called on fans to put themselves and their opponents in perspective, not just to focus on the champion, but also to understand the hard work of the runners-up. At the same time, he also hopes that his home team can maintain a correct view of results and stop labeling fans as inappropriate.
Through the analysis of reporter Liu Wenchao's article, we can see that this topic has sparked a lot of discussion. Fans will always have their own preferences and hopes, and their attitudes towards champions and runners-up will be different. However, we should get these phenomena right and not focus too much on the champions and ignore the efforts and contributions of the runners-up.
ForSIPGCalling it an "average champion", I personally don't think that statement is appropriate. There can only be one champion, and both big and small teams should respect the status of the champion. At the same time, fans should also take a proper view of the team's results, not overly demanding championships, but should appreciate the team's efforts and progress on the field.
ForShandong Taishanis nicknamed "King of Sanya", I think this is a helpless ridicule. They have proven their strength and competitiveness by finishing second in several events. Although they did not win the championship, we should affirm their hard work and dedication, rather than belittle them as "Sanya kings".
In conclusion, every team has its own difficulties and challenges, and we should treat each team with equality and respect. Whether it is the champion or the runner-up, they have put in a lot of hard work and sweat and deserve our respect and encouragement. Let's work togetherSuper LeagueFootballThe development of joint efforts to constantly pursue better results and progress.
