Controversy Sparked by Video Exposure
Shanghai申花 fans shared a video of post-derby conflict at a subway station, showing two申花 fans being surrounded and verbally abused by a large group of Shanghai Port fans. Police intervened to prevent physical confrontation, forcing申花 fans to leave the station. The fans reported the incident to police, questioning if such behavior constitutes provoking trouble.
Victim Clarifies Misunderstanding
A netizen claimed to be the申花 fan in the video, stating the incident occurred after last year's derby match. They explained they were waiting at the subway station when suddenly surrounded by Shanghai Port fans, with no aggressive actions throughout. The individual emphasized compliance with police instructions to leave, but criticized the video being filmed without permission and maliciously edited, leading to accusations of intentional provocation.
Calls for Improved Protection Mechanisms
Fans urged申花 club to enhance protection measures, requiring strict punishment for law-breaking fans while supporting their own supporters when facing injustice. Netizens highlighted the frequent cross-season fan conflicts, calling for more effective solutions from the club.
