In recent months, the Chinese soccer world has been exploding. First, the smoke of the Football Association's anti-corruption campaign has not yet cleared, and then the incident of professional players suspected of gambling on soccer matches has been a heavy bomb that has triggered an uproar. The arrests of Jin Jingdao and Hao Wei have brought more and more people and insiders to the surface.
Immediately afterward, Son Jun-ho's joining the investigation brought the gambling incident to a new peak. Being a South Korean player, the incident drew the close attention of the embassies, consulates and foreign ministries of both countries, who quickly launched an investigation. And now the truth has come out. According to the official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Son Junho is suspected of bribing a non-civil servant, violating the relevant laws of our country. He is currently under criminal detention. A spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs made it clear that the incident has been characterized and that Sun Junho will face jail time. Media sources revealed that Sun Junho is quite similar to North Korean player Kim Kyung-do in terms of language and customs, and this incident may be related to Kim's arrest. In fact, this gambling storm is no less influential and serious than the Football Association's anti-corruption fight. The involvement of a professional player may lead to a chain reaction, such as kicking a fake soccer ball, which not only ruins his career, but also brings shame to the whole team. Today, the Taishan team suffers from this. They were the champions of the league for the past two years, but have hit a low point because of this incident and are at the bottom of the league this season. Panic is spreading within the team and even innocent players are inevitably affected psychologically. It is safe to say that the Taishan team has been unable to focus on the game. All indications are that more players may be involved. In this big dyke, being alone seems to be a luxury. Reports indicate that many players are involved in gambling under the leadership of veterans, and that the vicious circle and passing of the torch is serious. There may not be many clean players in the Taishan team. Once more and more players are involved, the team lineup will be difficult to maintain. This gambling incident has also sounded an alarm for the Chinese Super League. It is expected that the Chinese Super League will begin to organize a self-censorship to fully curb this bad trend. Severe punishment for such behavior will produce a deterrent effect, so that others will seriously weigh the consequences, in order to serve as a wake-up call and prevent emulation.
