on thursday, former international fan zhiyi, in an interview, recalled the words "we don't care about our face anymore" that he blurted out after the chinese national team lost 1-5 to thailand in june 2013, and also talked about his criticism of zhao peng at that time.

in june 2013, the chinese national football team lost 1-5 to a thai team that was not fully staffed. in an interview, fan zhiyi said, "you (the chinese national football team) lost 1-5 in hefei, and you tell me how to explain it. you have lost all your face."

recalling why he said that, fan zhiyi said, "i didn't care about my face at the time. i was playing football and a microphone was handed to me. i was a defender at the time, and i was talking about how many goals i could score and how many goals you could score. butyou didn't lose to the second team of thailand 5-0 (actually 5-1), just like that, you lost face.。”

at that time, fan zhiyi also criticized zhao peng by name, "what is the current level of chinese football? there are only a few people like this.you guys like zhao peng are playing as central defenders, can he play?i can’t play. i don’t have the ability, you know?”

fan zhiyi explained, "the reason for the game was that we lost to thailand 5-0 (actually 5-1) at home.no matter how difficult it is, at least based on your final performance, you can't say that you have given up!”

it is worth mentioning that zhao peng talked about fan zhiyi's words during the live broadcast, "even among central defenders, i really think that my ability is still okay. if my ability is not good enough, why do they always insist on asking me to go to the national team, right? i think my ability is also good." however, after being criticized by fan zhiyi, the devastated zhao peng withdrew from the national team.

in an interview, fan zhiyi also talked about the prospects of chinese football. "if we can gather together to serve these young people or these national team players, we may not succeed immediately, but now under such favorable conditions, we can return to the ranks of asian powerhouses. we can take it step by step and don't be in a hurry."

"chinese football starts with you. it is very difficult, but it is only temporary. when the people behind you come, they will step on our shoulders and continue along our correct path. sooner or later, they will succeed."
