Jiang Shenglong, a stalwart of Shanghai Shenhua's backline, was in the spotlight this morning. Sports Weekly's reporter Ma Dexing revealed that Jiang Shenglong was unlucky to see red just before the end of the 1/8 final match against Qatar at the Asian Games in Hangzhou. In view of his bad foul play, the AFC Disciplinary Committee decided decisively to suspend him for three matches. Together with the automatic suspension for South Korea, Jiang Shenglong will be out of action for a total of five matches. Jiang has been called up to the national team amidst a change of blood in the national soccer team, and is expected to play for his country despite the suspension.
Shandong Taishan goalkeeper Wang Dalei is also in the news. Tonight, the national soccer team will face Vietnam, while Wang Dalei shared his heart in the fan meeting. As a local player from Dalian, Wang Dalei has deep feelings for his hometown. Although he has been playing abroad for many years, he said that if the time is right, he would like to return to Dalian at the end of his career and end his journey in Shandong.
The latest news of Argentine king Lionel Messi has also sparked heated debate. According to Chengdu Daily, Messi is likely to visit China again with Miami International. Miami International's visit to China has been posted online and is expected to include a warm-up match with Chengdu Rongcheng on November 8th. Messi visited China with the Argentine national team and made a big splash in a warm-up match against Australia at Beijing's Workers' Stadium, which attracted many fans and brought in lucrative revenue for the organizers.
The news of Guangzhou, the eight champion of the Chinese Super League, is equally noteworthy. Despite the investigation of owner Xu Jiayin, the daily operation and games of Guangzhou team have not been affected. It is reported that the players' salary is borne by Evergrande Football School, and the monthly salary of the main players is only 15,000 RMB, and the substitute players are even only 8,000 RMB. Compared with Evergrande's treatment at its peak, the difference is obvious. With the depth of Xu boss's investigation, the future direction of the Guangzhou team is also more and more confusing.
