After being eliminated from the FA Cup, Wei Shihao insulted opponents, and his wife hit back at fans: "You curse him, yet you still ask for photos with him."

On July 22, Wei Shihao's wife, Wu Ya, posted on social media to rally behind her husband. She wrote: "They ask for photos in front of him, but speak ill of him behind his back. After insulting him, they still come back asking for group photos."

While showing support for Wei Shihao, Wu Ya also expressed her bewilderment toward some fans: "Why do you ask for photos with Wei Shihao in front of him, but then turn around and point fingers, insult, and cyberbully him?"

In the FA Cup round of 16 match that ended last night, the Chinese Super League leaders Chengdu Rongcheng drew 3-3 away against Yunnan Yukun, and after extra time and a penalty shootout, they were unfortunately eliminated.

Although Wei Shihao performed well in the match, scoring a goal just five minutes into the game to give Rongcheng an early lead, and later calmly netted the first penalty in the shootout,

he lost his temper again after the game. Perhaps frustrated by the team's elimination or provoked by Yukun fans,

the national team star pointed emotionally toward the Yunnan Yukun side and said something, while two staff members tried to hold him back. He then left the field accompanied by the staff.

After the match, many fans once again flooded social media to criticize Wei Shihao, saying he had insulted opponents and referees for several consecutive games: "Does the Chinese Football Association really not care?" "He's 31 years old but still can't control his temper!"
