As China's soccer "gambling crackdown" expands, many in the soccer community are involved, and some teams have even begun to jeopardize themselves. According to media personality Li Pingkang, the current investigation has covered matches from 2015-2018, and a goalkeeper who used to play for Shaanxi is in danger of being investigated. According to Li Pingkang's sources, it is not difficult to determine who this player is.
Li Pingkang said: "Now the investigation cases can be traced back as far as the 15-18 years of the game, and the level extends to the China B League. At that time, many players were always investigated.In 18 years, a goalkeeper of the Shaanxi team considered making Evergrande a substitute. As a result, Evergrande's club inquired and found that the evaluation of the player's game was problematic, so they abandoned the operation.
According to Li Pingkang, the goalie who played for Shaanxi in 2018 was Song Zhenyu, his former country. Song Zhenyu started playing for the Shaanxi team in 2017, entered China A with the team in 2019, and happened to be in China B in 18 years.During the Shaanxi team's playing period, Song Zhenyu played well, and after the end of the 2018 season, Guangzhou Evergrande did fall into a "door shortage", because Zeng Cheng was injured for a long time, and only Liu Dengzuo's senior goalkeeper was available. So it's reasonable to consider introducing a veteran like Song Zhenyu to "put out the fire".
Song Zhenyu has made many appearances for the Chinese national soccer team and has played as the starting goalkeeper. During his playing days, Song Zhenyu did cause controversy in terms of his "style of play". For example, during his early years with Changsha Jinde, Song Zhenyu had a poor performance in a match against Shandong Luneng. After the match, he was asked to talk to the Changsha Jinde club executives, and was subsequently accused of match-fixing, and there were even rumors that the club had stopped training and suspended him. While playing for Sheffield United in Chengdu, Song was suspended for three matches for the famous "scrambled egg incident", and in March 2022, Song officially announced his retirement.
