Foreign media criticized the behavior of Chinese clubs and the Chinese soccer community, who played normally and did not express any condolences even though their players died.

Argentine media 'La Nacion' reported that Gabon striker Aaron Buffenja (Joji FC) fell to death on the 17th (Korea time), but his team continued to play as usual. Buffenza's colleagues didn't seem to care much. He performed a goal ceremony as if nothing had happened. The incident was not mentioned at all on the team's website. The club only expressed its position after the game and offered condolences to the family of the players, the report said.

He also criticized the players for not wearing black armbands that contain the meaning of remembrance. Unlike the players, fans chanted Buffenja's name 9 minutes into the game (Bupenja's number 9), and paid tribute, according to local media.




On the evening of the 16th, Zhejiang encountered Vivo ahead of the seventh round of the Chinese Super League with Major U Haka at its home stadium, Hwangryong Sports Center. The Zhejiang club asked the Chinese Super League to postpone the game, but it was reportedly rejected. The opponent team, which flew 900 kilometers, did not want to cancel the game. The match ended in a 2-2 draw.

Spanish media 'Marca' introduced a past case in which FC Barcelona postponed the game due to the death of the team doctor, criticizing the storage team's failure to postpone the game 'unprofessional and inhumane'.

It was reported that Bhupenja, a striker from Gabon, died after falling from the 11th floor of his rental house at around 1 p.m. on the 16th. The only witness is his brother. As a result, rumors of murder were circulating, but the investigation team is reportedly conducting an investigation focusing on the possibility of suicide. Bufenja did not appear at the team's training on the 15th, a day earlier. It is reported that he did not even answer the phone call of the club staff.




In an official statement, Zhejiang is deeply saddened to announce that Bufenja has died at his home today. The club is actively cooperating with the relevant departments in the investigation. 'All club executives and employees express their deepest condolences to the bereaved families.'"

Director Marius Sumudica Bucharest, who coached Bucharest in al-Shabab and Lapid Bucharest, told local media that "I was completely shocked. Buffenja was like my son. He was born the same day as my son. I can't hold back my tears."

Buffenja, who shared a meal with Hwang Ui-jo (Alanyaspor) in Girondin Bordeaux (France), played for Hatayspor (Turkiye), Al-Araibi (Qatar), Al-Shabab (Saudi Arabia), Cincinnati (USA), and Lapid Bucharest (Romania), and scored four goals in six games this year. The match against Shanghai Shenhua (2-3 losses) on the 12th was the last game of the deceased's life.




In the 2020-2021 season, he scored 22 goals in the Turkey Jesus Per League, winning the top scorer and being selected as the league's best.

From 2016 to 2023, he scored eight goals in 35 A matches for Gabon.
