On the afternoon of May 23, Beijing time, the Wuhan Three Towns Club of the Chinese Super League issued an announcement, announcing a penalty of $1 for Aziz and a team report criticism. The Three Towns Club responded by the Football Association after imposing a fine of 40,000 yuan on Aziz for four matches,
In the 53rd minute of the match between Wuhan Three Towns and Chengdu Rongcheng in the 8th round of the Chinese Super League, Aziz was snatched by Richard, and when he recovered the ball, he tripped the opponent with his right foot, and an additional movement with his left foot directly stepped on Richard's ankle. Although the referee did not award Aziz a foul or show him a yellow or red card, the Chinese Football Association decided to impose additional heavy penalties on him after the game.
The three towns in Wuhan obviously did not meet the association's sentence, so they decided to respond to the "ironic" penalty of Aziz fining $1. Wuhan Three Towns also expressed in the announcement that they firmly supported the penalty decision of the football association, and imposed fines of 100 yuan and 50 yuan on the club's general manager and manager in charge. The club also requires all personnel to fully understand the legitimacy and legality of the punishment of the Chinese Football Association, and the club will be cautious in its words and deeds in the future, and unconditionally obey the requirements and regulations of the Football Association.
It is worth noting that this is not the first time that the Three Towns Club has fought hard with the Football Association. On December 27 last year, Wuhan Three Towns Club issued a statement protesting against Malcom's disciplinary penalties, controversial penalties, and recent schedule changes in the Chinese Super League. The Three Towns Club said domineeringly at the time: As long as Wuhan Three Towns exists in the Chinese professional league for one day, we will uncompromisingly fight against the dark forces of the Chinese Football Association for one day.
As the defending champions, Wuhan Three Towns started the season poorly, with 2 wins, 5 draws and 1 defeat after 8 rounds, only temporarily ranking 6th in the standings. After Aziz was suspended, the offensive power of Wuhan Three Towns was undoubtedly greatly affected.
