On May 12 in Beijing, national soccer leader Wu Xi led a group of former Jiangsu Suning players, including Ji Xiang, Li Ang, Huang Zichang, Yang Boyu and Zhou Yun, who issued a strong plea on social media platforms to Zhang Kangyang, son of the Inter owner and Suning chairman, calling for due respect.
Just as Inter won the Coppa Italia and Zhang Kangyang was exuberant on all the social media platforms, Jiangsu players' hearts were on fire. They can hardly forget that more than a year ago, Jiangsu Suning disbanded in disgrace as Chinese Super League champions.
As the captain of the national soccer team, Wu Xi finally couldn't help but speak out, making a plea to Zhang Kangyang to respect the Chinese players and pay the salary arrears: "We have tried our best to maintain maximum understanding and goodwill, and we hope that you can respect the efforts and dedication of everyone in this team during the contract period." Wu Xi further questioned, "Is it only the dedication of foreign teams that deserves respect?" He pointed out that with unpaid wages for players and staff dragging on for more than a year, and a tolerance agreement in default for months, Jiangsu Suning's mess seems far from over.
However, Zhang Kangyang apparently knows little about Chinese soccer, he originally studied abroad and has never been in contact with soccer before, and became the head of Inter only because of his father's shade.
Nevertheless, the former Jiangsu Suning players are helpless. Zhang Kangyang although abroad, and Jiangsu Suning no direct relationship, but the entire Jiangsu team has ceased to exist, Suning Group can only find the group son at present. Players sigh helplessly, nowhere to seek justice.
