The Chinese Football Association has predicted a strict response. The plan is not to watch the malicious criticism against the player any longer.
In an official statement on the 20th (Korea time), the Chinese Football Association said 'Some fans of the Chinese Super League seriously damaged the soccer culture, seriously disturbed the order of the professional league, and caused a stir by swearing at players and their families for no reason. This is an insult to the spirit of football, and it is completely out of the essence of football culture. The Association firmly opposes this and strongly condemns it. This phenomenon will affect the sound development of the professional league and ultimately violate the rights and interests of the majority of fans,' the release said.

The Chinese league has recently been under fire for malicious verbal abuse and violence by fans. The starting point was swearing at Weishao, a Chinese national team player, in a match between Tianjin and Chengdu on the 19th.
Some Tianjin fans provoked Weishao even before the game, and some fans who crossed the line even shouted slogans calling out Weishao's family. Weisshao also didn't back down and walked down to the stands and shouted at the fans, but his teammates stopped him. As the game progressed, the verbal abuse of some fans became worse.
When Weishao scored on a penalty kick at the end of the second half, when Chengdu was trailing 0-2, there was another torrent of verbal abuse criticizing his wife. Weisshao headed to the stands, and the referee brought out a warning. Weishao, who had already been warned, left the ground on the exit, and Tianjin fans mocked him. Coach Seo Jung-won consoled him, but Weishao dropped his head and walked out of the stadium with tears. Fortunately, a strict response was made immediately. According to China's Sohu, the fan was detained by the Chinese Public Security Bureau for seven days and banned from watching the game.

It's not a matter of a day or two. Unlike the Chinese Super League's growth with enormous capital, the Chinese Super League's fan culture is still in the past. Personal attacks on players and excessive clashes between fans are also occurring this season. In a match between Beijing and Shanghai Shenhua on the same day, fans clashed and even the police were dispatched. Controversy is growing as verbal abuse directed at coaches and players continues to lead to violent behavior.
The Chinese Football Association has warned of a strict response. The Chinese Football Association will work with relevant departments to firmly crack down on all acts of provocation, insults, slander, and fighting inside and outside the stadium and clean up the stadium environment. We will strive to protect the legitimate right of fans to watch games civilly and defend the values of sports of fair competition and mutual respect. Football is a sport of unity and passion, and stadiums are not unleashing violence and hatred.
In addition, the Chinese Football Association will firmly maintain a 'fair, safe, clean, stable and orderly league environment, and will never tolerate any irregularities that disrupt the league order. The association solemnly urges all football players and fans to defend the purity of football together, firmly eradicate the cancerous elements that pollute football culture, treat victory or defeat rationally, and convey positive energy in the name of football. 'We will further strengthen the relevant measures to better maintain the order and league environment of the stadium' it added.
