Deliberately kicking Xuan Manh in the face, Chinese star is boycotted by his own fans

" He is unstable. The Chinese team should not have called up Wei Shihao ," one account commented under the article of Sohu newspaper. The Chinese news site just published the article: " Wei Shihao received a red card, Chinese fans begged him to calm down in the World Cup qualifiers ."

Wei Shihao is a top star in Chinese football. This player became the focus of criticism when he deliberately kicked Pham Xuan Manh in the face during the match between Hanoi FC and Wuhan Three Towns last night (November 8). Wei Shihao was sent off and his team lost 1-2.

Some people think that financial punishment is needed to deter Wei Shihao. " It's hard to expect the World Cup with players like that. They don't know what they're doing ," another anonymous account commented.

Wei Shihao received a storm of criticism for his foul play on Xuan Manh.

Wei Shihao is famous for his hot-tempered behavior. He has repeatedly reacted badly and committed violent fouls, which have been condemned by fans. This star has been punished many times and has become the target of criticism from domestic public opinion.

Sohu newspaper quoted the statement of former head coach of the Chinese national team - Mr. Li Tie. This coach said that Wei Shihao is an exceptionally talented player, has many qualities to become a top star but has an erratic temperament and is no different from a "time bomb". Therefore, this player lost his temper and caused an incident similar to what happened in the Asian Cup 1.

The author of the article emphasized that with a player who is easily the focus of criticism like Wei Shihao, his coaches need to have appropriate psychological measures to help the player born in 1995 stay calm, especially in important matches of the Chinese team in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

There are still Chinese fans calling for a wave of criticism towards Wei Shihao to be reduced. But they agree that punishment is needed. Ling Ran wrote: " Every institution should be dealt with clearly, dirty actions and flagrant fouls in football can be punished, but we should not insult them ."
