In a recent statement, Nantong Zhiyun FC made a shocking announcement to the public. According to the announcement, two players were suspected of violating the law and have been taken away for investigation, preventing them from participating in the upcoming 2023 Chinese Super League. The club then made the decision to immediately terminate the contracts with the two players. Nantong Zhiyun emphasized that the move was in full compliance with the law and was carried out based on the working contracts of professional players.
The club also said that they would protect their own interests while calling on outsiders to respect the privacy of the player and his family, as the case is still under investigation. In addition, if the players have problems in the follow-up investigation and damage the image of the club or the soccer industry, the club will demand compensation in accordance with the law. At the same time, if other teams intervene or support these players, Nantong Zhiyun will also firmly demand their withdrawal from the Chinese Super League and claim compensation according to the law. Nantong Zhiyun's move has caused controversy among some fans, but there are also many who praise its positive attitude. Some fans believe that Nantong Zhiyun's openness and transparency is commendable compared to other teams that hold back. However, there are also fans who believe that this is a helpless move by the club and that it is better to take the initiative to clear the air rather than being exposed subsequently. It is worth mentioning that Nantong Zhiyun also mentioned the yin and yang contract lawsuit of former club players. Earlier in the day, renowned media personality Ran Xiongfei had bluntly stated that China's soccer's anti-triad and anti-corruption actions are still continuing to advance. He revealed that Nantong Zhiyun's main goalkeeper Shi Xiaodong and Xu Junmin, who had just recovered from injury, had been taken away for investigation. Ran Xiongfei pointed out that goalkeepers are the hardest hit by match-fixing and Xu Junmin is likely to be linked to the defunct Kunshan FC. His comments were once hotly debated, but Nantong Zhiyun did not immediately respond. Subsequently, more evidence surfaced one after another, confirming that what Ran Xiongfei said was not false. May these soccer "assholes" leave as soon as possible, so that Chinese soccer back on track!
