Yesterday, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) issued a decisive "punishment order", pushing Li Jianbin of Chengdu Rongcheng of the China League One (CLA) team into the limelight. The player was suspended for 10 matches and fined 100,000 RMB in the 84th minute of Chengdu Rongcheng's crucial match against Nantong Zhiyun in the 5th round of the league, after he verbally abused the referee and threw his team undershirt on the bench at him, which resulted in a severe punishment of 10 matches and 100,000 RMB fine. It is worth noting that although Chengdu Rongcheng eventually won the match 2-1, Li Jianbin did not play the whole match because he "stood by and watched the trouble", which made the scene slightly embarrassing.
