Wu Xinghan's controversial incident has thrown the Chinese soccer world into a tizzy. Recently, Li Tie's case has become the center of attention for fans across the country. With Chen Xuyuan being taken away for investigation, the whole affair has become even more heated. With the national team's path to the World Cup blocked, the progress of the anti-corruption campaign is in the spotlight. Who would have guessed that the seemingly "honest" Wu Xinghan would have caused such a stir in the soccer world? His skills are certainly mediocre, but the cheating incident has triggered the attention of fans across the country. The "playing fake football" controversy and "Mrs. Wu's dual citizenship" is the real focus.
Shandong Taishan club in the storm appeared to be "steady as a mountain". Numerous media people have blamed Wu Xinghan incident, and called on Taishan Club to take action, and even bluntly demanded the dismissal of Wu Xinghan. Li Xuan, a member of the media, said: "Such a player is not dismissed, do we have to wait until the New Year? What exactly are the club's senior management and coaching staff thinking?" Players related to Wu Xinghan also feel uneasy, they are most worried about the Discipline Inspection Commission investigation team will one day take them away and send "silver bracelets". This scenario is chilling!
At the club base in Jinan, the Taishan team is training. The Japanese training program was canceled as foreigners Sun Junho and Jadason returned to the team. Taishan's next training stop will be Shanghai. According to Kang Bing, president of the Taishan Beijing Fan Association, after the cancellation of the Japan training program, the Taishan team will go to Shanghai for training and plan to have a warm-up match there. on April 1, the Taishan team will have a match with the Zhejiang team for the "Gift Cup".
The "Gift Cup" is not an official match, but a friendly "cultural stage, soccer singing". Shandong Taishan's first official match of the year will be the China Super Cup against last season's Chinese Super League champions Wuhan Sanzhen. According to Beijing Youth Daily, notices related to the opening ceremony and opening match of the Super Cup and the Chinese Super League have been released. Hangzhou may become the venue for the Super Cup, replacing Suzhou as the host. The Super Cup will start on April 8th.
The Kunshan team submitted their access materials, which is good news for Kunshan fans. After Kunshan's overtaking of the team, fans had expected the club to bring in reinforcements to strengthen the team in the transfer window, but it turned out that the head coach left the team, several players left the team, and the training date was uncertain. The fact that the Kunshan team has now submitted their entry materials at least shows that the club is still interested in competing. Kunshan's economy is in good shape and there is no shortage of local billionaires, but their interest may diminish if soccer does not bring financial rewards.
The dilemma faced by Shenzhen and Hebei is becoming more and more serious. Most of the clubs have already submitted their entry materials, which will be strictly scrutinized by the CFA and professional league management. According to Tianjin Daily, the Shenzhen club is involved in at least eight lawsuits and disputes involving foreign aiders and foreign coaches, and will have difficulty qualifying for the tournament if they are unable to resolve them. The Hebei club has not submitted access materials and has given up its qualification for the league.
