Since the beginning of this year, the scandal of wage arrears in Chinese Super League clubs has been seen frequently, except for a few clubs with better financial conditions, other basics have been exposed to long-term wage arrears. Among them, the most "strange" is the Shenzhen Football Club, which actually used "gratitude" as the reason for arrears of wages to players, which was surprising.
Recently, Du Liyan, a well-known football journalist, exposed the internal chat records of the Shenzhen team last season. According to Du Liyan, the Colombian star Quintero, the core of Shenzhen's midfield at the time, had privately complained to his teammates that if the club continued to owe wages, then he considered returning to South America to play. This word reached the ears of Ding Yong, the general manager of the Shenzhen Club, and then Ding Yong ordered a "three stops" for Quintero on the grounds of "not understanding gratitude".
According to the chat records, Ding Yong also threatened to make Quintro "pay the price". However, as a big-name foreign aid introduced by the Shenzhen team for more than 5 million euros, Quintero has left Shenzhen this winter to join the Argentine giants River Plate on loan.
In addition, the Shenzhen team recently had a contract dispute with ST international Dai Weijun, who allegedly applied for arbitration and entrusted a lawyer to help him negotiate. If the salary contract is not resolved, then Dai Weijun will leave the team freely. According to media reports, the Shenzhen team was "very disappointed" with Dai Weijun's behavior, because they believed that they had single-handedly "trained" Dai Weijun. In other words, it is still complaining that Dai Weijun does not understand "gratitude".
It can be seen that the Shenzhen team executives may have always regarded themselves as the "benefactors" of the players, and all the players who want to seek salaries are all "ungrateful". It is precisely because of this that the Shenzhen team can carry out the "riot operation" of evicting all the salaried players, which is obviously such a psychological work.
But no matter what is right or wrong, the Shenzhen team, as the name of the "upstart" of the Chinese Super League, disappeared in about two years. Since then, the Chinese Super League has added another "Lao Lai" club that has been in arrears for a long time. Especially when more and more insider information is dug up by old writers, what the Shenzhen team does can only be said to be self-smashing signboards.
