However, the former South Korean international was not convinced. He held a press conference and claimed that he did not manipulate the match, but only received money. He also said he was sorry for the Korean Football Association and Korean fans. In fact, he should be most sorry to Chinese soccer and Shandong Taishan fans because Sun Junho is a foreigner that Shandong Taishan brought in at a high price, but he did something illegal. He doesn't seem to regret about it at all. On the contrary, he looked dissatisfied and claimed that he was aggrieved.
However, the CFA is not used to him this time and has directly given him the biggest blow. According to KFA officials today, the CFA has sent an official letter to the KFA stating that it has banned Son Junho for life and informed FIFA of the matter. In the letter, the CFA wrote: "We have reported Sun Junho's lifetime ban to FIFA and the AFC and are discussing future actions. If FIFA establishes a disciplinary committee to review the CFA's disciplinary action and then communicates Sun Jungho's disciplinary action to each member association, then Sun Jungho will not be allowed to play soccer in any member association."
I have to say that this kind of behavior from the CFA really cheers people up. It doesn't matter if you're a foreigner or what, since you're involved in illegal behavior, you have to be punished appropriately. Submitting to FIFA means that Sun Junhao is likely to be banned worldwide for life. As for this matter, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also responded publicly recently. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said: "In March this year, the Chinese judicial authorities made a public judgment on the case of Sun Junho, a South Korean citizen, who was suspected of 'accepting bribes from non-state workers'. Sun Junhao pleaded guilty and confessed to the punishment, confessed in court and did not appeal. China is a country governed by the rule of law, and the judicial authorities handle cases in strict accordance with the law."
