Zhang Lu has had a stellar career, not only being highly recognized by his club and well paid, but also marrying a popular actress and becoming the center of attention. However, the star seems to lack the necessary self-control, having been jailed for drunk driving in the past, his smoking violations on moving trains have been exposed, and there are even rumors pointing out that he has taken on a model, with monthly expenses as high as 200,000 yuan.
But the reason why Zhang Lu is known as the "big fish" is not only because of the ups and downs of his personal life. After Li Tie's leadership position has been shaken, Zhang Lu's movements are also under scrutiny. Zhang Lu is rumored to have been involved in a number of incidents with Li Tie after he was suspected of playing a fake game in the 2019 relegation showdown between Tianjin Tianhai and Wuhan. Li Xuan has said that Zhang Lu was not included in the first banned list because the list mainly targeted Liaoning players, while Zhang Lu belonged to the Hubei camp and was therefore spared. However, with the gradual unveiling of Li Tie's case, Zhang Lu's future is becoming more and more confusing.
