In the 13th round of the Chinese Super League that ended last night, Hebei lost 0-3 to Changchun Yatai, and currently has 19 points from 5 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, temporarily ranking fourth in suzhou. In the final moments of the game, Former Hebei international Zhang Chengdong clashed with Yatai player Wang Peng and was directly sent off by the referee for a red card.
Since Zhang Chengdong has received a yellow card before, plus 3 yellow cards he accumulated before the game, Zhang Chengdong will face the penalty of being directly suspended for one red card + one suspension for 4 yellow cards, for a total of two suspensions. According to media person Li Xuan, with the last two rounds left in the first stage of the team, Zhang Chengdong has left the Suzhou Division and ended the game task in this stage ahead of schedule.
This season, as an all-rounder on the field, Zhang Chengdong has played as a right-back, center-back, back and other positions in the Hebei team, representing the team in the previous 12 games, but did not contribute goals and assists. Last season, Zhang Chengdong made 13 appearances for Hebei, contributing 1 goal, and suffered from injuries late in the season.
It is reported that Zhang Chengdong's anxiety in the match with yatai may be directly related to the club's long-term salary arrears. According to previous reports, the problem of salary arrears in Hebei is more serious, and some players have not even received salaries for nearly a year. International footballer Yin Hongbo asked for help through his personal Weibo, saying that players eat youth meals and need to support their families, hoping that the Hebei government and sports bureau can solve the problems in the operation of the club.
During the second transfer, Hebei sold two important foreign aides, Malcolm and Paulinho, and used the "broken arm to survive" to let the team continue to survive in the Chinese Super League. Despite this, the Hebei team still showed good combat effectiveness, currently ranking fourth in the Suzhou Division with 19 points, and is expected to enter the championship group and successfully relegate in advance. In the final two rounds, Hebei, which lacks Zhang Chengdong, will play against Shanghai Haigang and Wuhan.
