In the 16th round of the Chinese Super League, Tianjin TEDA faced Jiangsu Suning at home. Wagner's push shot and Aqilapeng's lob shot quickly helped TEDA establish a two-goal lead; then Li Ang scored with a free kick to help Suning save some face. , the final score of 2:1 remained until the end. After this game, Jiangsu Suning has lost three games. The pressure on the team has increased sharply, and they are also having trouble with Jiangsu fans off the court.
Jiangsu Suning's three-round decline began with a 0:1 loss at home to arch-rival Shenhua. The over 45,000 fans at home burst into flames, questioning whether it was a match-fixing match. In fact, the small loss to Shenhua at home was just the trigger. The Jiangsu team had also lost to its arch-rivals Henan Jianye and Hebei China Fortune before. Based on this performance, Jiangsu fans shouted the slogan of an empty stadium. Subsequently, Suning Club executives held an emergency fan forum, but with little success.
Sure enough, in the away game against the Tianjin Shuangxiong, no Jiangsu Expeditionary Force came to the scene to cheer. In order to avoid embarrassment, Suning Club could only organize local employees to watch the game. Suning's original intention of doing this is understandable. Watching football can be regarded as an internal welfare for employees, and it can also cultivate employees' identification with the corporate culture. However, some details of such officially organized football watching activities reflect Suning's consistent style, which has caused strong dissatisfaction among Jiangsu fans.
The cheering jerseys of Suning employees have the word "Suning" printed on the chest in large letters, instead of the word "Jiangsu" which represents the Jiangsu local complex. Such cheering jerseys are more like advertising and promotion, which is in line with Suning Club's "de-Jiangsuization" behavior in recent years. What's even more disappointing is that the cheering jerseys are still the old jerseys from the 2016 season, and they have to be recycled after use.
The unfortunate away loss to Tianjin TEDA, coupled with Suning’s staff to make up for the loss, further strengthened the fans association’s determination to leave the stadium empty. The attendance rate for the next round of Jiangsu team’s home game against Shanghai SIPG is worrying. The Changzhou Dragon City Blue Wings Fans League expressed their feelings on Weibo in an almost crying voice: "Do you know how much I hate you now? Do you know how much I loved you once? Why do you think the fans are so disgusted now? The club Don't you have any idea? "
In fact, the requirements of Jiangsu fans are very simple. They hope that the team can be ambitious, the club can operate normally, value the culture of the stands, value the feelings of the fans, and build the team. It has become a bright business card of Jiangsu Province, nothing more.
