On July 23, Beijing time, the Chinese Football Association issued a fine on the official website, and in the game against Wuhan Three Towns and Chengdu Rongcheng, Wei Shihao kicked down Deng Hanwen behind his back and was banned for 4 games and fined 40,000 yuan. After the fine was released, Wei Shihao posted that Cressan was exempted from punishment for the same action, and some media analysts believed that Wei Shihao might not be on the national football training list for the top 18 in September.
In the 24th round of the Chinese Super League, in the match between Wuhan Three Towns and Chengdu Rongcheng, Wei Shihao retaliated and kicked down Deng Hanwen from behind and dyed red.
Despite this, in the fine issued by the Chinese Football Association today, Wei Shihao was banned for 4 games and fined 40,000 yuan, plus an automatic red card suspension for 1 game, Wei Shihao will miss the next 5 games, which means that before the start of the top 18 matches of the national football team in September, Wei Shihao has almost no games to play in the club.
Regarding his punishment by the Chinese Football Association, Wei Shihao then posted a picture on social media to express his dissatisfaction, in the match between Shenhua and Taishan, Cressan kicked down Zhu Chenjie in the same way, but the Chinese Football Association did not say anything.
In response to Wei Shihao's apology and the post expressing his dissatisfaction, some media people familiar with Chinese football said that Wei Shihao questioned the Chinese Football Association's double-standard behavior, and the national football team will definitely not recruit Wei Shihao next, and Wei Shihao basically missed the top 18 matches.
