On the evening of December 31, Beijing time, Nanjing City of the Chinese League issued two official announcements announcing the punishment of players Fu Huan and Sun Guoliang. Among them, former international player Fu Huan was fined 50,000 yuan for leaving the team without authorization and absenteeism, deducting the performance bonus for the 2023 season, and announced that he would terminate the contract with him from November 21, and Nanjing City notified the Chinese Football Association and Shanghai Port Football Club at the same time.
According to the official announcement issued by Nanjing City, Fu Huan's absence time was from November 21 to December 28, during which the Chinese League had ended, and it should have been a holiday. Therefore, Nanjing City Club's reason for Fu Huan's punishment seems to be a little reluctant.
Fu Huan, who was born in 1993, debuted at Xu Genbao Base. He has played for the Chinese Super League giants Shanghai Port Club for a long time, he won the 2018 Chinese Super League championship with the team, and was selected for the Chinese men's national football team. However, Fu Huan also caused controversy by ridiculing netizens for "crowding the subway".
In the 2022 season, he was loaned to Kunshan by Harbour. This season, he was loaned to Nanjing City by the harbor. In 30 games this season, Fu Huan made 29 appearances and 26 starts for Nanjing City, making him the second highest attendance player in the team.
In addition, Nanjing City also issued an announcement announcing that 32-year-old defender Sun Guoliang was deducted from the 23-season performance bonus, fined 50,000 yuan, and suspended three times for pushing the opponent's players behind in the game against Sichuan Jiuniu. This season, Sun Guoliang scored one goal in 28 appearances for Nanjing City. He, like Fu Huan, is the absolute main force of the team.
According to the media person, the player has appealed to the Football Association for an explanation of the club's punishment. Nanjing City Club previously issued the "2023 Season Club Full Payment of Player Salary Confirmation Form", but Fu Huan and Sun Guoliang did not sign it.
