Former national football manager Li Tie was arrested after the current international player Jin Jingdao went in, accompanied by many partners. In addition, the middle and senior management of the Football Association (FA) were almost "wiped out", and even the top management of the FA who had already left the organization did not escape. They thought that the anti-corruption campaign in soccer was nearing its end, but they are on the road to insanity... They're digging deeper, and they're going "international".
Hao Wei, former Chinese women's soccer team and head coach of Shandong Taishan, has been out of touch for a long time. Even without an official announcement, the accident was basically certain that it was only a matter of time. However, at this time, an even more shocking news was hammered home: the
Current South Korean international footballer and Shandong Taishan foreigner Son Jun-ho has been detained by the public security authorities on suspicion of accepting bribes from non-state workers! And it was confirmed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This is no small battle.
Sun Junho started and got a lot of playing time in the first six rounds of the Chinese Super League this season, but his performance was completely different from last season. Especially in the match against Chengdu Rongcheng, he had a very bad performance and was obviously distracted, but at that time he didn't associate himself with the anti-corruption in Chinese soccer. Two days ago there was news that he was taken away by the police. While some Korean media outlets reported that he was being investigated, many thought it was mostly just an investigation, and it wasn't until the foreign ministry's response that the hammer really came down!
Fans can't help but ask: why do foreign aiders want to participate in all this Chinese soccer crap?
Personally, I think that Sun Jun Hao or in the transfer fee or salary of the cat, the head coach Hao Wei has a crossroads.
Although Son Jungho is an active international player for South Korea, he is not a starter. He hasn't had much time to play in either friendlies or the World Cup, and is no match for Son Heung-Ja or Kim Min-Ja. Naturally, it's hard for him to go for gold in Europe's top five leagues. However, the wages in Korea's K-League aren't that high, so he went to play in the Chinese Super League where he could offer him wages at five league levels.
Son Junho's annual salary in the Chinese Super League has reportedly exceeded 10 million euros (1.5 million euros), which is not low. He can't just go to any league except the Chinese Super League and get such a high salary. The wage scale of foreign aid in the Chinese Super League is also divided into regions. Asian foreigners are paid the lowest overall, and 1.5 million euros a year is a bit high for a replacement Korean international.
Most clubs struggled when Sun Junho arrived in the Chinese Super League for the 2021 season. While life was pretty good at Shandong Taishan, there was pressure to bring him in at €1.5 million a year, and the transfer fee was still reportedly €4.5 million. If you're a regular starter for a Korean international, that price is still justified. While he was really good, the price was questionable at a time when the level of the Chinese Super League was starting to decline.
Sun Jungho is suspected of accepting bribes, and the following are generally considered to be more likely:
Head coach Hao Wei gave him a salary that exceeded his actual value, and then distributed the two that exceeded it. Because Sun Jun Hao was already 29 years old when he came to the Chinese Super League, he was already formed in all aspects and his salary could not be further increased. Driven by money, he and Hao Wei hit it off.
In addition, it is relatively unlikely that Son Jungho took part in match-fixing (match-fixing), and the public security authorities are currently detaining him only to give a reason for taking bribes.
Something like this has also caused a big stir in the Korean soccer world. From the point of view of Korean fans, they should put this account on the head of Chinese soccer, because they will think that the Chinese Super League is a big dye bowl. In this regard, do you think it is the Chinese Super League environment that dominates or Son Junho himself?
