This season’s Volleyball Super League was originally scheduled to be held in Jiangmen, Guangdong in June, but was postponed to September due to the epidemic. It is reported that at the moment, various men’s volleyball teams in mainland China are training in Jiangmen, Guangdong, preparing for the National Men’s Volleyball Championship to be held in Jiangmen on July 17 and the Men’s Volleyball Super League postponed to September.
Lu media reported that it was suspected that the Tianjin men’s volleyball team made the first move this time, and the two sides then broke out into conflict and the scene was chaotic. The staff and coaches who stepped forward to persuade the fight were obviously insufficient. They did not stop the development of the situation at the first time, and the players on both sides still waved their fists. Even if the two sides were pulled apart, the players involved still stretched out their fingers and scolded each other.
According to the report, if nothing else happens, after investigation, both sides will receive a ticket issued by the Volleyball Association. Players of both teams will have to pay for their uncool behavior, and suspensions and fines are inevitable.
According to Peng Mei News, citing people familiar with the matter, the two teams were in a teaching match at the time, but the specific reasons required further official investigation and confirmation. The Chinese Volleyball Association has yet to respond.
On July 11, the topic of the Tianjin-Jiangsu men’s volleyball fight was on the hot search list, arousing criticism from netizens.
Mainland netizens said, “I don’t have much ability, but I have a good temper.” “Is it not good to have this strength to play on the field?” “How can domestic leagues clean up such things, what quality is it?” “Don’t do serious things, Disbanded.” “It’s a shame.” “It’s always the same style, nothing strange.”
