Recently, the rumor that Shanghai seaport foreign aid Oscar's contract is expiring and he is about to bid farewell to the Chinese Super League has triggered a fervent discussion in the Chinese soccer world. In particular, his record transfer fee of 60 million euros and annual salary of up to 20 million euros when he moved from English Premier League's Chelsea to the Chinese Super League made countless peers envious.
Zhu Gang, a player who has played for Dalian Party, posted a lament on his personal social media platform, arguing that although Oscar left, he took away a large amount of money. He mockingly mentioned that he just said a friendly hello to Oscar, but was fined 60,000 yuan, and the loss of bonus during the suspension period is even more incalculable. He also half-jokingly asked if Oscar could report back to him before he left.
Reviewing the past penalty cases of the Disciplinary Committee of the Chinese Football Association (CFA), it can be clearly pointed out that Zhu Gang, who was playing for Dalian Party at the time, was banned for six matches and fined 42,000 yuan by the CFA for making a gesture (suspected to be a middle finger) that caused an adverse social impact after a match against Shanghai Seaport.
The Disciplinary Committee of the Chinese Football Association punished him not on the basis of his alleged greeting to Oscar, but for the adverse social impact he caused. He himself knows best whether he actually made that gesture. The fact that he didn't appeal or defend himself after the incident makes things even clearer. It is only now that he is starting to defend himself, which inevitably gives the impression of hindsight.
