Several foreign players have suffered new setbacks in the Chinese Super League's "match-fixing fiasco". The latest assessment by the German transfer market shows that the value markers of the two foreign players implicated have disappeared, as has the case of Taishan's foreign aid Sun Junho. The move seems to put a question mark over the Chinese Super League match-fixing case.
Taesan team lost a lot of money in this match-fixing fiasco. The team's almost $30 million South Korean foreign aid Sun Junho, as well as two foreign players, Kim Jingdao and Guo Tianyu, were all involved. The arrests of Guo Tianyu and Sun Junhao are closely related to coach Hao Wei, who seems to have become the scourge of the Taishan team, much to the shame of the fans.
Similarly, the Zhejiang team was unfortunately hit hard in the match-fixing case. Former national soccer goalkeeper Gu Chao's value has been reduced to zero, almost announcing that his career may be over.
Taishan's arrested players Jin Jingdao, Guo Tianyu and Sun Junhao have been removed from the club and they no longer appear in the team's latest roster. With their arrests, Taishan's investment in the transfer market has almost come to naught. If not for the strong support behind the Taishan team, it is feared that they would have been hit even harder in the "fight against corruption".
Despite the fact that Taishan is currently missing core players such as Kim Kyung-do, Guo Tianyu, Sun Jun-ho and Wu Xinghan, the team has quickly come out of the doldrums under the leadership of Choi Kang-hee and is currently ranked sixth in the league.
However, the cases of Kim Kyung-do and Son Jun-ho have not yet been finalized, and whether the future will have a further impact on the Taishan team will have to wait for further investigation by the investigation team.
Media personality Ran Xiongfei pointed out that Taishan's head coach Hao Wei is suspected of rigging the game, and once convicted, the club could face serious consequences of points deduction or even relegation. He suggested that Cui Kangxi should go all out for more victories after his appointment to ensure that Taishan can still be relegated after the points deduction.
As a result of Li Tie's case and Hao Wei's case, a number of teams in the Chinese Super League may be at risk of relegation this season, including Shenzhen, Taishan and Zhejiang. It is rumored that Shenzhen team is suspected of playing fake football during Li Tie's coaching of Wuhan team, when the two teams were tied at 4-4, and Shenzhen team went crazy in the second half to chase points. According to the analysis, Shenzhen team may be difficult to escape the storm.
As for the Taishan team, the situation depends on whether the club has any relevant personnel involved. Due to the implication of foreigners such as Sun Junho, the investigation team may conduct in-depth investigation on Hao Wei, Sun Junho and Guo Tianyu. Once someone is implicated in connection with the Hao Wei case, the risk of relegation will increase.
