With the simultaneous arrests in many places, the crackdown on fake gambling in Chinese football has also escalated abruptly. When everyone is busy eating melons, there are also people "creating suspense"!
Chen Hua, a famous media person in Shanghai, said: "The anti-corruption storm in Chinese football, the stronger the better." Those football people who have stayed overseas for the so-called vacation and dare not come back for the time being, I don't know if they have to be afraid again... Although it is not clearly identified who it is, the word "vacation" is easily interpreted by everyone to allude to Zhou Jun, who went to Spain to deal with the problem of liquidated damages for Hua Shuai, and has not returned so far.
When the storm continued to escalate, Shi Xueqing, the former boss of Dalian, opened fire again: "Although it remains to be confirmed, this storm has arrived!" Next, a certain pickpocket of a Shanghai club executive will definitely be bitten out! I remember in 2018, I once ridiculed in front of him: I have worked in Chongqing for many years, and Chongqing people have an old saying: Sinful wealth returns to sinful roads, and sinful money returns to debts! He looked at me puzzled, and I explained: All the money that is not from the right way will be repaid sooner or later by personal or family calamities! He listened and walked away in embarrassment ... This habitual offender, behind-the-scenes commander and manipulator of "match-fixing" is destined to run away this time! Who did the sky spare?! ”
Although Shi Xueqing did not name names, basically everyone knew that he was talking about Zhou Jun. And this is not the first time Shi Xueqing has shelled the Zhou army. As early as in an interview with PP Sports in 2020, he also insinuated that Zhou Jun "people without culture think of chickens and dogs thieves, and earn a little from here and earn a little from there." And in 2021, when Shenhua fans were dissatisfied with the team's performance and boycotted to cheer, Shi Xueqing once again bombarded Zhou Jun: "Shanghai fans are not forced by evil people and evil things to do this, and they will never do so!" If you don't eliminate the evildoers, Shanghai Shenhua football will hardly see the light of day! Back then, when someone came to work in Dalian, I once knocked on the side: There is a folk saying in the Sichuan-Chongqing area: "Sinful wealth returns to sinful roads, and sinful money returns to debts!" - No one can escape the punishment of this iron law! ...... He stared at me for a long time, his face pale... It is estimated that this person will hide in the toilet and tremble in the past few days! ......”
Since Zhou Jun's social account is equivalent to a decoration (last published in 2011, it is estimated that the password has long been forgotten), it is impossible to see Zhou Jun's positive response to Shi Xueqing. But considering that Shi Xueqing and Zhou Jun were full of contradictions during their time working together in Dalian, Shi Xueqing's evaluation of Zhou Jun itself was with colored glasses.
In fact, Zhou Jun left his job in Shenhua, and he had an industry in Spain; I haven't had time to take care of it in years, is it strange to take a look at it now? What's more, there are still contract players and club officials in Chinese football, and there are many people who are not in China! One of them grew up in the echelon with Qin Sheng, Jiao Zhe's younger brother, Jin Jingdao's eldest brother, and Sun Shilin, Zhu Jianrong, who was also teammates, is currently in the beautiful country!
Of course, even if Zhou Jun can have a very legitimate reason to be abroad, the reason why the outside world suspects that he is afraid of being sanctioned abroad is also the epitome of his frequent criticism over the years!
In the eyes of many fans, Zhou Jun is greedy. In the Shenhua fan base alone, there have been legends such as "Zhou Jun buys a yacht", "Zhou Jun buys a private jet", "Zhou Jun is a genius in real estate and owns N suites in Gubei"... The year he went to Dalian, the impression of Dalian fans was not as good as that of Shenhua fans. But the vast majority of players, coaches and club staff will give Zhou Jun a completely different evaluation! Some of Zhou Jun's advantages have been recognized in the circle!
Can "carry things" with a strong sense of responsibility! The best case is actually 13 years, the season when Shenhua-6 points started, Boss Zhu basically didn't care; Zhou Jun alone has to face the bombardment of media fans, the pressure of the club's operation, and constantly calm the emotions of the players and coaches! However, that year, Zhou Jun continued to raise funds through hard work, so that the basic life of the players was guaranteed, the team's combat effectiveness was maintained, and the "Shenhua Spirit" became the label of the most difficult season in the club's history. In the greenfield period, whether it is domestic players or foreign aid, they will go to Zhou Jun when they encounter tricky things, and Zhou Jun can basically handle it; So in the eyes of the players, Zhou Jun is omnipotent.
Taking the initiative to think about others will come and go. Compared with Shenhua, who has long regarded Shenhua as his home, in Dalian, Zhou Jun is also a migrant worker. But compared to Shi Xueqing, a Wanda veteran who was the boss at one time, most players and club staff recognize Zhou Jun more. One of the important reasons for recognition is that the salaries of the original players and staff in Dalian are very low; After Zhou Jun went to Dalian, he helped these grassroots employees get a salary increase and better treatment for the players; On the contrary, Shi Xueqing, a real Dalian person, did not expect this during the period when Zhou Jun had monopolized power before he left. Through efforts to make everyone's life better, many players and staff are grateful to him from the bottom of their hearts, which makes Zhou Jun gain people's hearts!
Calm personality can restrain emotions! Although Shi Xueqing had previously ridiculed Zhou Jun for having no culture and no education; However, unlike Shi Xueqing, including some club bosses who start a fire and have to take out "social anger", many times Zhou Jun's expression when he is angry is relatively restrained; After the game, criticize the team for slamming the door and leaving, which is already a more serious anger scene of Zhou Jun.
Can carry a strong sense of responsibility, can help as much as possible, will take the initiative to raise the salary of low-wage employees and players, even if you start a fire can stabilize your emotions, for migrant workers, do you want such a boss? Therefore, the reason why Zhou Jun's team became "Zhou Family Army" itself is not that Zhou Jun has any magic, but that many of his actions have conquered people's hearts, and everyone takes the initiative to lean on him.
Of course, to some extent, Zhou Jun is too good for the players, too close to the players, and has become a double-edged sword, to some extent has become a kind of connivance for the players, and indirectly leads to the lack of some binding players, making mistakes that should not have been made!
Recognized and also exposed the problem Zhou Jun, has a very good reputation in Chinese football. It's just that in the eyes of public opinion, the role of professional agents is always used to criticize. The team is good for granted, and no one thinks about their credit; Once it is not good, they will all become sinners, even if it is something that cannot be beaten, the pot will be thrown on their heads. When almost all professional managers in China are questioned about taking kickbacks, they are used to be scolded at the front desk; As the longest professional manager in Chinese football circles and the oldest active professional manager, Zhou Jun is naturally the most scolded and remembered the most!
When Qin Sheng, Sun Shilin, and Zhu Jianrong, who were introduced by the Zhou Army, all went in, would the Zhou Army, who had always been remembered, do as his nemesis Shi Xueqing wished?
