The Chinese soccer world has been buzzing with activity in recent months. Before that, the fight against corruption in the Football Association was not yet over, and now the scandal of professional players allegedly gambling on soccer matches has become the hottest topic at the moment. With the arrests of Jin Jingdao and Hao Wei, more and more participants and details are beginning to surface.
Now that Son Jun-ho has been taken away for investigation, it is taking gambling to a new level. As Son Jun-ho is a Korean player, the embassies, consulates and foreign ministries of both countries have paid more attention to this matter after the incident. And now the matter has been answered very clearly.
According to official information from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sun Junho violated the relevant Chinese laws by taking bribes from non-civil servants. He is currently under criminal detention. According to a Foreign Ministry spokesperson's confirmation, this news indicates that Sun Junho has been completely hammered this time. And he is still under criminal detention and it is believed that after various interrogations, he may also face jail time. According to media sources, this incident may have a lot to do with Kim Kyung Do's removal from the team due to his close resemblance to North Korea's Kim Kyung Do in terms of language and customs.
As a matter of fact, this gambling storm is not much worse than the anti-corruption efforts of the HKFA in terms of influence and severity. After all, if a professional player is involved in gambling, all sorts of chain events may occur, such as kicking a fake soccer ball, which will not only ruin his career, but also put the whole team to shame.
Now Tarzan's team is seriously affected by this incident. Initially, they were the champions of the league for the last two years. So, with this incident, the team is in the last position of the league this season. There must be panic within the team now and even the players who have no problems may be affected by the psychological problems.
It's safe to say that Tarzan can't focus on the game right now, and based on this situation and previous news, there are definitely more people in the team involved in gambling. In the final analysis, it is hard for any player to be alone in this big dyke. In addition, previous reports also mentioned that many players were involved in gambling under the leadership of veterans. As a result of this vicious circle and the passing of the torch, there may not be many clean players in the Taishan team. Once more and more players get involved, Taishan may end up not being able to get a lineup that can continue to play. Let's just say this situation is really embarrassing.
This gambling incident also reminds the Chinese Super League that they need to be vigilant. It is expected that they will start organizing a self-censorship and take steps to curb this undesirable trend across the board. Only by severely punishing such behavior can there be a deterrent effect so that others who want to engage in such things will weigh the consequences carefully. This will serve as a wake-up call and prevent others from following suit.
