Hassan Sunnygoalkeeper of the national team Singaporehas asked Chinese fans to stop sending him money after his saves in Singapore’s 3-1 defeat by Thailand helped China advance to the next round of World Cup qualifying.
Sunny, 40, made 11 saves on Tuesday as Thailand missed out on a draw for the next round on June 27 despite their 3-1 win. Thailand needed to win by three goals, or score at least four with a two-goal margin of victory, to overtake the Chinese in the standings. Hassan went viral on Chinese social media overnight and a paid QR code for the food stall he runs with his wife went viral online, with Chinese fans using it to send money.
“I enjoyed it for a while. I was like, oh, okay, money is coming in. But having said that, I was like, when will it end? Is this legal for the Singaporean broadcaster?” “I think we have to stop this at some point.” Hassan warned that fans could be scammed as fake QR codes are also circulating.
“I really appreciate the support you have given me in recent days, which has allowed me to fully experience the passion of Chinese football fans,” Hassan wrote in a social media post on Thursday. “In recent days, the QR code for payments at my coconut rice stall has been widely circulated on the Internet, and some videos have even been edited with fake QR codes.” “Therefore, I appeal to everyone to be reasonable in their support and stop transferring money to me over the internet.”
