[official announcement]
On August 21, 2022, in the 14th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL), our player Dorado was shown a red card and ejected from the game at half-time during the match between Henan Songshan Longmen and Wuhan Changjiang away from home.
Dorado's behavior not only violates the provisions of the disciplinary guidelines of the Chinese Football Association, but also violates the club's team rules of six advocates and six heavy penalties. This season, our players have repeatedly violated the game style and discipline, which has seriously damaged the image of Henan soccer and caused a bad social impact. In this regard, we express our heartfelt apologies to all friends who support the cause of soccer.
In order to purify the atmosphere of the match and protect the healthy development of Chinese soccer, our club will carry out a special warning education on match style and discipline, deeply find the problems, analyze the reasons, and implement rectification. The following is the decision to deal with the incident of consecutive red cards:
First, fully accept the penalty of the CFA and carry out in-depth self-examination and self-correction.
(b) Serious pursuit of players penalized with red cards, including but not limited to fines, suspension from training, suspension from matches, suspension from salary, termination of contract and other measures.
(c) Accountability of the club's management.
Our club will strengthen the education of coaches, players and staff on match style and discipline, strictly implement the rules and regulations of the tournament, respect the referees, spectators and opponents, uphold the soccer spirit of "going beyond for victory", and resolutely put an end to similar irregularities. The relevant results will be announced to the society in time.
