Although it sounds unpleasant to say, Chinese table tennis really illustrates this point to the fullest.
In the Tokyo Olympics, not a single mixed doubles gold medal was given away to Mima Ito, and people in China almost can't keep up with who the table tennis gold medalists are, after all, no matter how it's played or who plays, aren't the gold medals always ours?
In the process of dominating, the national team has also lost a lot of attention.
Given how it's considered the national sport in China, it's not hard to imagine how much the influence of this sport has waned globally.
Of course, this isn't because we're too strong, but truly because the opponents are too weak, no matter how much we support their skills, there's just no way to create suspense, damn it.
Anyway, back to the main point, San Remo's victory has turned this Italian Cup into a new unavoidable symbol in the football world.
