Although the Nantong Zhiyun Club did not publicly disclose the names of the players, but its release of the case announcement clearly states that "the two players are under investigation, the qualification of the league is limited", this statement indirectly confirmed the Shi Xiaodong and Xu Junmin was taken away to investigate the news. The two players involved in the case of specific issues may not be the same. Xu Junmin had played twice in Nantong, but also briefly in Shenhua, Shenxin, Kunshan and other clubs, was taken away, many clues straight to Kunshan. However, he played in other clubs, also had a similar "broken can" behavior, so his problem may not be limited to a club career. In contrast, Shi Xiaodong has only worked at clubs in Shanghai and Nantong, and has never been to Hong Kong. Obviously, Shi's problems mainly occurred during his time in Nantong, and more clues point to the end of last year. Last year, in the fourth stage of the Central League, Heilongjiang Bingcheng 0-3 defeated Nantong Zhiyun, a quote from a Heilongjiang player on the bench caused a lot of buzz on the air: "They are afraid to score another one, both sides of the goal, but still can not see. They asked for only two goals, less than 2.5 goals and it's over." The comment prompted netizens to question the game's catty nature. Perhaps some people were having second thoughts at the time, but the fact that Correa extended the score to 3-0 in the closing stages of that game suggests that the discussions on the Heilongjiang bench did not affect the outcome of the game. It's worth noting that Shi did not concede a goal in that game, so clearly his performance was not directly related to match-fixing. However, Shi's performance in last year's final wave of five consecutive defeats was unusually bizarre. In last year's penultimate round, when Nantong Zhiyun was reversed 1-2 by Shijiazhuang Kung Fu, Nan Xiaoheng's ground scoop was not fast enough for Shi Xiaodong's judgment to be too affected. However, he made a slow and bizarre ground tackle to send the opponent's long-distance shot into his own goal. Last year, Nantong Zhiyun was reversed by Nanjing City in the penultimate round, and Nanjing City's goal came from a quick counterattack. Shi Xiaodong, however, inexplicably rushed out of the penalty area, allowing the opponent to easily break through the back of the 2 defense 2 situation. After the game, the comment section of some platforms showed Nantong fans blasting the players. Shi Xiaodong's performance in the penultimate round of last year's Nantong Zhiyun 1-2 defeat against Shijiazhuang Kung Fu once again caused controversy. Nonetheless, he managed to keep the goal intact with an excellent save. However, this bizarre mistake has put him in doubt for the new season. Now, with the involvement of the judiciary, Shi Xiaodong and Xu Junmin have been taken away for investigation, and the Nantong Zhiyun club has to take measures to deal with this crisis. And this incident has undoubtedly sounded the alarm for the soccer world in China.
