Reporter Xu Jiang revealed that Luneng made the relegation situation extremely difficult in the '16 Chinese Super League by refusing to pay the 2 million dollar demand.
Xu Jiang said, "During the 2016 Chinese Super League, a club offered to pay 2 million yuan to help Shandong Luneng survive relegation, but Luneng rejected the offer."
This made it very difficult for Luneng to be relegated later on, and a certain team resorted to extreme measures to stay up. Of course, I can't guarantee that Luneng performed decently in all the matches, I can only say what information I have."
