據(jù)英國廣播公司（BBC）11月29日報(bào)道，英超布萊頓俱樂部當(dāng)天就其社交媒體上一張引發(fā)爭議的圖片道歉，圖中，日本國腳三笘薰與一名小球員各自手持一張印有二戰(zhàn)時日本軍官小野田寬郎頭像的卡片。

Brighton have apologised for "any offence caused in China" by a post on social media that featured an image of a Japanese World War II soldier.

布萊頓俱樂部青訓(xùn)學(xué)院的X賬號11月27日發(fā)布一篇祝賀帖，稱其U12梯隊(duì)贏得了英超聯(lián)賽教育項(xiàng)目，將前往比利時參加“圣誕休戰(zhàn)杯”，并配上了一張小球員與三笘薰的合照，兩人手持印有小野田寬郎身著軍裝照片的卡片。

小野田寬郎是日本在二戰(zhàn)中最后一名正式投降的士兵，1974年才投降，距離日本戰(zhàn)敗已近30年。BBC提到，小野田寬郎在菲律賓盧邦島殺害了30名平民，但當(dāng)時菲律賓政府仍赦免了他。小野田寬郎在返回日本后竟然還受到歡迎。

The post from the club's academy featured Japan international Kaoru Mitoma and a youth player posing with a football card featuring Hiroo Onoda.

Lieutenant Onoda was the last Japanese soldier to formally surrender, 29 years after the country's defeat in the war. Onoda held out in the Philippine jungle for 29 years before surrendering, because he did not believe the war had ended. He received a hero's welcome on his return to Japan.

三笘薰是日本足球運(yùn)動員，現(xiàn)效力于英超球隊(duì)布萊頓。他手持小野田寬郎照片的圖片一經(jīng)發(fā)布，迅速引發(fā)廣泛爭議，在中國社交平臺上，一些球迷表達(dá)了憤怒和失望之情。布萊頓俱樂部青訓(xùn)學(xué)院在社交平臺X上發(fā)表聲明稱：“俱樂部就近期一則有關(guān)青訓(xùn)學(xué)院參加英超‘圣誕休戰(zhàn)杯’賽事的帖文，向?qū)χ袊斐傻娜魏蚊胺刚\摯道歉。我們非常珍視中國的球迷，絕無任何冒犯之意。”

Brighton's post sparked controversy in China, as Japan committed atrocities in the country during the war. On Chinese social media platform Weibo, many fans expressed strong anger and disappointment.

"The club sincerely apologises for any offence caused in China by a recent post about our academy's participation in the Premier League Christmas Truce Tournament," the club's academy said in a post on X.

據(jù)BBC介紹，英超“圣誕休戰(zhàn)杯”賽事名稱源自第一次世界大戰(zhàn)期間、1914年圣誕節(jié)前后，英德前線士兵自發(fā)停火并舉行足球比賽的歷史事件。英超聯(lián)賽宣稱，這一比賽“為青訓(xùn)U12球員提供了一個與歐洲頂級俱樂部同場競技的機(jī)會，同時幫助他們了解塑造當(dāng)今世界的歷史事件”。布萊頓俱樂部稱，合照一事屬“失誤所致”，俱樂部和英超聯(lián)賽均不知情。

The Premier League said the tournament "offers academy U12 players a chance to test their footballing talent against top European Clubs while gaining an understanding of the historical events that shaped our world".

The tournament is named after the series of spontaneous ceasefires that occurred around Christmas in 1914 between British and German soldiers during World War I, with football matches being played in several locations.

BBC Sport has been told by Brighton officials it was a genuine error and the controversy was not known to the club or the Premier League.

韓國《朝鮮日報(bào)》11月29日稱，布萊頓并未向韓國球迷道歉。報(bào)道稱，日本軍方在二戰(zhàn)期間的罪行并非僅限于中國。他們還殖民統(tǒng)治過朝鮮半島，并對朝鮮半島人民進(jìn)行了長達(dá)數(shù)十年的迫害。還有菲律賓網(wǎng)民評論，“布萊頓難道不應(yīng)該先向我們菲律賓人道歉嗎？”
