Nantong Zhiyun club did not say, but its official release of the case announcement has confirmed that "two players are assisting in the investigation, can not participate in the league", which is undoubtedly Shi Xiaodong and Xu Junmin was investigated by the official confirmation. The two players are involved in different situations. Xu Junmin had played in Nantong twice, and bounced around in Shenhua, Shenxin, Kunshan and other teams. He is being investigated this time, the clues point directly to Kunshan, but given that he has also had past misbehavior while playing for other clubs, his problems may not be limited to a specific club. In contrast, Shi Xiaodong's career has been mainly in Shanghai and Nantong, and he has not been involved in Hong Kong. Obviously, his problems are closely related to the work of Nantong, and the clues mostly point to the end of last year. In the fourth stage of last year's Central League, Heilongjiang Bingcheng's match against Nantong Zhiyun, a player on Heilongjiang's bench revealed on air, "We only want to score two goals, less than 2.5 goals will do." The comment sparked questions from netizens. Although Correa eventually extended the score to 3-0, Shi did not concede a goal in the match and his performance was not directly related to match-fixing. However, his unusual performance in the midst of a five-game losing streak at the end of the season is a cause for concern. In last year's match between Nantong Zhiyun and Shijiazhuang Kung Fu, Nan Xiaoheng's ground passes were not fast, but Shi Xiaodong's judgment did not seem to be affected. However, a bizarre save by him sent the opponent's long-range shot into his own goal. In another matchup against Nanjing City, Nanjing City's goal came from a quick counterattack, but Shi Xiaodong made an unusual move at a moment when he shouldn't have rushed out of the box, allowing the opponent to score easily. In last year's match between Nantong Zhiyun and Qingdao Red Lions, Shi Xiaodong made an unusual move despite the fact that the opponent was attacking with a header from close range and Shi Xiaodong tried to make a save. In the end, he was unable to prevent the goal, even though he had enough ability to pounce on the ball. After the success of Nantong Zhiyun's overtaking last year, the team made a significant rotation in the last two games. Veteran Li Huayang took Shi Xiaodong's place, but did not perform any better than Shi Xiaodong. Li Huayang only got a chance to play after the team confirmed their overtaking, and his form was naturally poor. And Shi Xiaodong, who has been a starter all year, made a questionable succession of mistakes last year. This time, with the intervention of the judiciary, Shi Xiaodong and Xu Junmin were taken away for investigation, and Nantong Zhiyun took the initiative to terminate the contract, showing the team's cutting attitude towards the suspects. Compared to the Chinese Super League, China's first division, which has received less attention in recent years, has been exposed to many problems and has been jokingly referred to as the "Chinese Fake". When Qin Sheng and Jin Jingdao were being investigated, players and officials from China's first division teams were already involved. Now, Xu Junmin, Shi Xiaodong, as well as last year's Shaanxi Wang Qi, Qingdao Red Lions playing Teng Shangkun and other people under investigation, marking the past two years of low-level league truth gradually surfaced. Perhaps the future of China's first division will be even more turbulent than the Chinese Super League!
