However, Li Tie did not stop there. He spent half a million dollars to secretly buy the Tianshan Snow Leopards' foreign aid player Danalah. Before the match, Danalah suddenly announced that he could not participate in the match due to an injury. This unexpected situation was like a bolt from the blue for the Tianshan Snow Leopards, as Danalah was their leading scorer, and his absence greatly weakened the team's strength.

In the end, the Tianshan Snow Leopards, who were missing Danarach, unfortunately lost the game. But after careful examination after the match, people were surprised to find that he was not injured. This fact mercilessly exposed Li Tie's corruption scandal. In response, Tianshan Snow Leopards imposed severe punishment on Danalach, including suspension, training and salary. However, the foreigner chose to flee overnight and has not returned to the Chinese Super League since.

The incident attracted widespread attention at the time, and people were deeply moved by the Tianshan Snow Leopard team's adherence to its principles and the spirit it displayed. Although the team failed to win the game, it won the respect and admiration of the world. However, with the passage of time, this incident was gradually forgotten. It was only with the recent soccer ban that the attention was brought back to the disbanded team.

In this soccer ban, Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopard team involved a total of eight people, including six players, former general manager Sun Aijun and a staff member Zhang Nan. This news is undoubtedly worse for the already disbanded Tianshan Snow Leopard team, and for Zhang Fujun, this is a reality that is difficult to accept. He was shocked and disappointed when he saw the list, and found it hard to believe that the team he once loved could be caught up in such a scandal.

Zhang Fujun said that after the dissolution of the Snow Leopards, he had experienced a deep depression, and it took him a long time to gradually get out of that shadow. However, when he saw the list of grounding orders, unspeakable pain and loss welled up inside him once again.

Zhang Fujun's disappointment and pain is a very normal reaction. He has poured a lot of effort and hard work into this team, only to see it fall into the quagmire of corruption, which is undoubtedly a major blow to him. However, we should also pay attention to the positive significance of this soccer ban, which reveals the deep-rooted problems in the Chinese soccer sector and provides an important opportunity for future reform and development. Only through a thorough anti-corruption fight and sustained reforms can Chinese soccer be revitalized and rejuvenated.
