On the evening of February 22, Beijing time, Liu Chengyu, the No. 9 center forward who missed a key penalty in the 1/4 finals of the U20 Asian Cup, which caused the Chinese national youth team to regret not participating in the World Youth Championships, chose to close the comment area of his social media after encountering a flood of accusations from netizens.

In this crucial game, Liu Chengyu, who started the game, did not score in the second half and missed a penalty, and then wasted a great empty goal. Despite the sluggish performance in this campaign, Liu Chengyu still played the whole game, which also aroused questions from many netizens.

Many netizens flocked to his social media account to leave messages to vent their dissatisfaction, and some even blamed him"Did you collect money?" "It's just an inner ghost!" "You ruined your teammates' World Junior Championship dreams!" ”In the face of accusations from the outside world, the young Liu Chengyu was overwhelmed and had to close the comment area to save himself from "cyber violence".

Regarding Liu Chengyu's experience, many national youth teammates have expressed their support. No. 10 Kuai Jiwen bluntly said in an interview that he should not be angry with a certain player, because everyone has done their best:'First of all, I'm sorry for the fans, I couldn't win with everyone, but we did our best. I hope everyone will be less abusive and more encouraging, because everyone has mistakes and bad performances. ”

Wang Yudong, who made the penalty, also encouraged Liu Chengyu:"We didn't quarrel, he was the first penalty taker in our team, he should have been the one to take the penalty, and everyone would have a penalty when they couldn't score, and the quarrel would not happen in the national youth team!"

Indeed, while it is unfortunate to miss out on the World Youth Championship because of missing a penalty, the players should be understood and encouraged to do their best, and the lads are still young and I believe they will learn from their setbacks.
