On the evening of May 16, Shandong Taishan Team will play Shenzhen Xinpeng City at home. It is understood that the whistle is still not allowed to enter the stands. Shenzhen Xinpeng City, a mid super rising class horse, will not be able to experience the shock brought by the "nine whistles" in Taishan.
On April 30, Taishan Team met Nantong Zhiyun at home. There are some "special" in this game: the traditional "nine whistles" of Taishan team's home stadium did not sound. At the same time, the door flags and banners on the stands are also missing. It is reported that some fans reported this problem to Jinan Zhangshang 12345. Fans pointed out that the whistles, horns, ribbons, banners and other items used to cheer in the Chinese Super League matches before are now not allowed to be brought into the venue as a symbol of fan culture, which greatly affects the fans' mood of watching the game, and they hope to resume their use in future games.
The staff of Jinan Culture and Tourism Development Group Co., Ltd., the major shareholder of Taishan Club, responded that the whistle and horn sounded at the football match site would seriously interfere with the game, so it was prohibited. At the same time, some banners and sirens were cancelled because of the regulations of relevant departments.
This statement is hard to convince fans.
In Taishan, the "nine whistles" have already existed. Before the start of the game, the Taishan team always whistles nine times at home. The loud whistle can not only drive the atmosphere of the home team fans, but also play a good deterrent role for the visiting team. It can be said that the whistle has become a distinctive symbol of the home court of Taishan Team. And the "nine whistles" sounded before the competition, which would not affect the competition process.
From the perspective of football culture, as a game with fierce confrontation and strong appreciation, football has its own fan culture. Banners, slogans, gate flags, and the "whistle" at the home of Taishan Team can all play a role in cohering fans and improving their watching experience. It can be said that the "nine whistles" have long been integrated into the Taishan team's fan culture.
As a football player, he is also used to the "sound waves" created by fans. It is disrespectful to the football culture to ban the whistle from entering the stadium in a "one size fits all" manner on the ground that the whistle affects the game. Take the Qatar World Cup champion Argentina team as an example. During the Qatar World Cup, tens of thousands of Argentine fans went to Qatar to cheer for the team. On the court, they always dance and sing throughout the game, and at the same time sound the "war drum" symbolizing victory, which may make a "noise" far more than the home of Taishan Team.
In the highest palace of football like the World Cup, from FIFA to the fighting teams and then to ordinary fans, no one will think that the sound of beating the drums is an "influence". On the contrary, this atmosphere allows fans and teams to enjoy it.
Many fans said that they had been used to taking the "nine whistles" as the symbol of the beginning of the Taishan team's game. Without the whistles, the on-site experience of watching the game became incomplete. According to insiders, the whistle was still not allowed to enter the match on the evening of the 16th. At the same time, the club is actively communicating to strive for the early return of the whistle.
In fact, rather than arbitrarily banning the whistle, it is better to listen to the voice of the fans more and properly solve problems on the premise of respecting football culture and fans.
