In a video circulated online, 36-year-old veteran defender Wang Gang and 28-year-old active Chinese national striker Zhang Wenying run out of an elevator and look excited and say to fans, `Don't you want us to do well? What are you talking about?bellow "
Earlier, a male fan shouted abusive language before the elevator door in which the team was boarded closed. At that moment, the elevator door opened, and the two players ran out.
'Sohoo dotcom' did not turn into a physical altercation. The two players returned to the elevator after persuasion from club and hotel staff, he said.
Reporter Yuan-ye said Wang Kang immediately came down to the lobby with club officials and met with fans to express his apology.
Zhang Wenning posted an apology on her personal channel and started to deal with the case. "I sincerely apologize for my unruly inappropriate behavior after the game. The crushing defeat is painful for both players and fans. Please understand each other. I will take this humiliating result as a lesson and welcome the remaining seven league games and cup finals with a new mindset. Our goals and will remain unchanged. I'll fight until the last minute," he wrote.
At the club level, Beijing also deeply apologizes for the performance and results shown by the entire club in Shandong Taishan away game. I sincerely apologize to everyone who cares about the team. After this crushing defeat, I would like to share the shame and sleepless nights of all those who truly love Beijing."
Beijing, led by former Barcelona coach Kiki Setien, suffered a shocking six-goal defeat in the 23rd round of the Chinese Super League against Shandong led by Choi Kang-hee after winning three consecutive league games. "'Ulsan native' Baco played a one-man show' in which he scored four goals and one assist by himself. `Daegu, Pohang native" Zeka assisted two of Bako's four goals.
Beijing, which remained at 48 points due to an unfamiliar defeat, fell to fourth place in the same round, falling behind the leader Chengdu Rongcheng (50 points), who defeated Shanghai Port 4-1. Led by head coach Seo Jung-won, Chengdu scored two goals and one goal by Felipe and Timo from Gwangju, respectively. Beijing is one point behind second-place Shanghai Shenhua (49 points) and has the same point as Shanghai Port (48 points), but is two goals behind in the difference between gains and losses.
After winning the Super League in 2009, Beijing has been without a medal for 16 years, trailing Guangzhou and Shanghai. Fans considered this season the right time to win, but they are expressing strong dissatisfaction as they slipped at an important point. Beijing is the team that Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich) took part in from 2019 to 2021 before advancing to the European stage.
