Dai Weijun resolutely filed a complaint with the Chinese Football Association (CFA), seeking to be released from his bondage and regain his freedom. However, there are many cases in the Chinese soccer world where Dai Weijun has taken his clubs to court over unpaid wages. In order to ensure the smooth operation of the league, it is difficult for the CFA to support Dai Weijun's claim.
Recently, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) has received numerous complaints like Dai Weijun's, claiming that the arbitration restores free agency in order to join other clubs. At the same time, the clubs to which the players belong have been fighting back, revealing their own plight on the one hand, and expecting the CFA to safeguard the interests of the clubs in times of trouble on the other. Some club executives have said, "Most Chinese soccer clubs are facing a shortage of funds, and more than half of the clubs are in the quagmire of salary arrears, so I am afraid that most clubs will not be able to survive if the players leave the clubs on a free-agency basis."
It is reported that in the incident of Dai Weijun, although the relevant departments have not made a clear statement, but privately there are already rumors of "not sentencing Dai Weijun to free agency". This implies that the Chinese soccer administration does not want to deal with this kind of incident in the current special period, and also aims to maintain the stability of the league.
However, this practice of the management, also inevitably make people question "the law is in vain".
