On May 26, speaking about Dai Weijun's situation, reporter Cheng Wenli said that winning the case did not mean that Dai Weijun could be freed immediately, and that the general manager of Sham Shui Po Football Club had once rudely humiliated him.
Wenli Cheng wrote:
At the end of May, international player Dai Weijun has been attracting special attention, as he has been looking forward to ending his "wandering" and returning to the league as soon as possible. He is also looking forward to returning to the National Football League Asian Games, which will focus on preparing for the Olympic Games with South Korea in early June.
Last night, Dai Weijun's lawyer, Zhang Bing, publicized on Weibo the news that he had won the unpaid salary arbitration case, and that the Shenzhen Football Club must pay Dai Weijun his unpaid salary within ten days.
The Shenzhen International Arbitration Court accepted Dai Weijun's arbitration for back wages, a labor dispute over the years 2020 and 2021. Due to the epidemic and other reasons, the court postponed the case until February 21 this year. It lasted for three months until last night, when Dai Weijun finally got the award. Dai Weijun won the case, and his rights were supported by the law! However, it doesn't mean he can get freedom immediately, because CFA must accept the arbitration of the player's free agency.
As early as February this year, Dai Weijun expressed to the Shenzhen Football Club the idea of giving up his salary arrears in exchange for free agency, in the hope of canceling his contract with the club in advance (his contract expires at the end of this year). At the time, four or five upstream Chinese Super League clubs favored the young international. However, SZF offered that if you leave, you need to leave tens of millions of dollars in transfer fees.
After several negotiations, Shanghai Shenhua showed sincerity and was willing to pay a transfer fee to bring in Dai Weijun. The executives of SZFC, who were short of money, also intended to sell Dai Weijun, but this idea was categorically rejected by Guo Yingcheng, the owner of Caesar Group.
A player in the prime rising stage of his career, thinking he's a good bird, meets a club that neither settles your wages nor lets you leave freely. Doesn't that just ruin the future of a good player?
As we all know, there is a lack of talent in Chinese soccer. In order to represent the Chinese team, Dai Weijun gave up his dual passports of Britain and Hong Kong and became a Shenzhen Hukou instead. He performed well in the Top 12 and East Asian Cup and was highly expected. However, he gave up so much. What did he get?
Did Dai Weijun get a salary to match his outstanding performance? No! He was underpaid and underpaid! Was Dai Weijun respected? No! General Manager Ding Yong's suppression and double standards, even rude verbal humiliation, made Dai leave long ago!
Dai Weijun has never spoken out publicly about his experience. He is neither loud nor noisy, but now he is in the predicament of having no ball to play! In this case of Dai Weijun, we don't see anyone cherishing his talent, but only see ruining people tirelessly! Therefore, Shanghai Five Star Sports had written an article for Dai Weijun and wrote that people who get paid for everyone should not freeze to death in the wind and snow.
On April 7, Dai Weijun's lawyers applied to the CFA for free arbitration and asked for expedited processing. According to FIFA regulations, a player can terminate his contract with the club within two months and the player cannot return to the team. Lawyer Dai Weijun also clearly told him that if he returned to the team, he would not be able to arbitrate freely.
Subsequently, Dai Weijun had to roam around and watch the Chinese Super League as a spectator, but he trained in the gym every day. It was boring, but he kept trying to stick to it. Compared to the past, his body was obviously much stronger.
On May 10th, the arbitration case of Dai Weijun's application for free agency from the CFA opened, and he is waiting for the result of the arbitration. Now, the victory of the case of unpaid wages will be favorable to Dai Weijun's free agency, after all, the fact that Dai Weijun encountered the unpaid wages has been hammered, and what other reasons does CFA have to refuse his free agency?
For many days, the belief that supports Dai Weijun to train hard every day is: HoldOnPainEnds, which is HOPE!
