Hard Tough Football Association! Guoan responded to Zhang Xizhe's 7 bans: regret and incomprehension, do not believe that darkness will forever cover the earth
On September 27, Beijing time, the Beijing Guoan Club of the Chinese Super League issued a statement of "toughness" as soon as possible after the Football Association severely fined international player Zhang Xizhe. While Beijing Guoan officials regretted and puzzled Zhang Xizhe's punishment, they also mentioned twice in the statement that "the club suffered controversial penalties in many games" and "encountered unwarranted penalties and even punishments at the critical stage at the end of the season".
At the end of the statement, Guoan said without humility: We believe that in the special period of China's football anti-corruption rectification, purifying the football environment is also the mission that every club, every team and every football person fully supports. We do not believe that darkness will forever envelop the earth. The light of Chinese football will definitely come, and we will work hard for this light. It is worth noting that as early as 2020, national security officials also spoke out on the controversial sentence, saying that "darkness will not cover the earth forever." Three years later, they chose the Tough Football Association again.
In the 26th round of the Chinese Super League Guoan away draw 1-1 against Yatai, referee Du Jianxin made several controversial decisions and unfavorable control of the court, which caused dissatisfaction between the players on both sides and led to clashes. At the end of the game, after Zhang Xizhe on the bench was suspected of insulting the fourth official, the referee did not find him, and Guoan coach Suarez was sent off for this reason.
Five days later, the Chinese Football Association still did not bypass Zhang Xizhe, issued a heavy fine to him for 7 games and fined him 70,000 yuan, because there are only 4 rounds left in the Chinese Super League this season, Zhang Xizhe will definitely miss Guoan's remaining 4 matches against Dalian people, Haigang, Chengdu Rongcheng and Shenzhen. In the first three rounds of the Chinese Super League next season, Zhang Xizhe will not be able to play.
At present, Guoan is three points away from the top four, which is a crucial period for the fight for the AFC Champions League qualification. The long-term suspension of the core midfield is undoubtedly a huge blow to the team's morale and preparation. It is no wonder that the Guoan Club will be unbearable and choose the hard football association.
