Chinese goalkeeper, Wang Dalei, called the fans “morons” on Twitter after his team’s 3-0 loss to Japan.
After China was thumped by arch rival Japan 3-0 on Monday, Chinese fans and media bombarded the team with criticisms and singled out Wang as one of the worst players.
Wang reacted by blasting Chinese fans as “morons” and “a bunch of dogs” and reporters as “haters of Chinese soccer”.
“I heard that there are 7,000 professional soccer reporters (in China) and I guess 4,000 of them must hate soccer,” Wang wrote.
“Is that really necessary? I’m not a ‘Spiderman’. I punched the ball out, but you guys still laugh at me. I was beaten on the pitch and verbally abused off. Don’t say you know how to play soccer. Because you know nothing about it.
“Go home and first count how many pieces of leather a football has. ‘Hit a person when he is down’, that’s what you bastards are doing. That’s why Chinese soccer is a mess.”
Wang has since ‘repented’ according to officials.
