background
It happened on 1985. At that time, China, which just won the second place in the Asian Cup with 1984, launched its third attack on the World Cup under the leadership of head coach Ceng Xuelin. At that time, the main players of the team were Gu Guangming, Zhao Dayu, Li Huajun and Jia Xiuquan. In the Asian preliminaries, the national football team only needs to draw in the last home game against Hong Kong in Beijing to get the group qualifying right. Participate in 1986 World Cup in Mexico. At the most critical moment, China made the mistake of underestimating his enemy. 19 On May 9th, as long as the home team draws, the group will qualify. However, China lost to the second place in the group with 1:2 and failed to enter the second stage.
It was a dark day for China football, because it missed an excellent opportunity to enter the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. After the game, about 80,000 fans who were watching the game at that time burst into tears and broke into a painful blow. They blocked players from both sides, smashed public facilities, attacked foreigners, and demanded dialogue with the leaders of the Football Association, which caused great disasters. Not only did the team bus overturn, but even the cars parked on the side of the road and even the traffic kiosks were not spared. After the game, disappointed fans rushed out of the stadium and began to destroy things along the street, including some foreigners' cars. Ceng Xuelin and his team members were forced to hide in the athletes' building for three days, because some fans were talking to them downstairs with beer bottles, and the police did not allow the players and coaches to go downstairs. Afterwards, the fans also talked to the President of the Football Association (at that time, the President of the Football Association was Li Fenglou, a football veteran). The public security organs quickly mobilized. Due to the damage to foreigners' belongings in the 5. 19 incident, the influence scope expanded rapidly, including foreign media such as Associated Press and AFP, and some smashed fans were detained. Twenty years later, a client who was still a student was interviewed on football night. The client said that he acted irrationally because of anger and group feelings. After the May 19 incident, the reaction of the fans was characterized as "organized sabotage", but AFP did not agree. Agence France-Presse said that their comment on the May 19 incident was that "China people have finally started to connect with the world", and before May 19, there was a riot at the stadium because of football.
Violence in Europe is endless. The May 19 incident was just a diarrhea of fans' emotions, and no casualties were caused. May 19 incident 10 days later, the Heisel massacre broke out in Europe, and 3 1 Juventus fans were attacked and killed by Liverpool fans. The remedial measure taken after the May 19 incident is to require that such incidents should not happen again in future football matches. Put forward a series of slogans such as "watching the ball in a civilized way". In June this year 1 1, Li Fenglou stepped down as the president of the Football Association, and Yuan Weimin, who created the miracle of women's volleyball in China, became the president of the China Football Association. That night, China football was covered with a black veil. From then on, China football and the World Cup often passed by, until 200 1, Milu led the South Korean team into the World Cup with a magical schedule, but it was only a faint walk, in vain. Since then, China football has reached the bottom.
Due to the bad social impact caused by May 19, head coach Ceng Xuelin also left the national team. Ceng Xuelin recalled in an interview with reporters: "May 2009, 65438+ was a nightmare for me. I made two mistakes when I was able to qualify after the draw with Hong Kong. At the preparatory meeting before the game, the leaders will set the tone and draw shame at the meeting. If you want to win, you will win more than two. The players were in a hurry, and the shooting ratio was 28 to 6, and the result was still lost. This ball was the heaviest lesson and blow in my life, and I have never coached the team since then. " At that time, the five consecutive championships of women's volleyball team brought joy to the Chinese people, which was not as good as the joy of a football victory. At that time, the victory of football reflected a strong patriotic spirit. Just after May 19, many people lost confidence in China football. It is this black 5. 19, which is just a date for our younger generation of fans, but what is more important to me is the pain brought to our older generation of fans in China. Lose confidence in China football.
