On Wednesday, Mr. Sun held a press conference in response to the Chinese Football Association's lifetime ban on football. Park Dae-yeon, Sun's agent, said he did not think FIFA would support the Chinese Football Association's ban.
At the press conference, Park Dae-yeon said, "The Chinese Football Association needs to come up with detailed evidence to prove this, it needs to point out the problematic game, and prove that Son Joon-ho operated the game." I don't think they have such evidence, and I don't think FIFA will support the Chinese Football Association. If FIFA makes a decision in favor of the Chinese Football Association, then we will take further action. ”
The media generally believes that in the 2-2 draw between Shandong Taishan and Shanghai Port on January 1, 2022, Jin Jingdao, Sun Zhunhao, and Guo Tianyu were suspected of manipulating the game. In the 75th minute of the game, Guo Tianyu lost the ball in front, and Sun Zhunhao watched Mooy break into the penalty area all the way and grab the goal.
Sun Junhao also admitted that he received 200,000 yuan after the competition, "5 or 6 days after the competition, I received 200,000 yuan, and that friend is the only person in Shandong who can speak Korean." He also helped me get used to the environment, and we would lend each other money and trade money as friends. Under investigation, I also proved that it was not illegal funds and that I had not rigged any matches. I have a clear conscience, I played the full 90 minutes, I played my best, and it ended up being a draw and I want you to take a look back at that game. ”
Will Son Joon-ho be banned by the Korea Football Association? The Korea Football Association said, "We have asked the Chinese Football Association for relevant documents, and once we get a response, we will disclose the relevant information." We plan to review whether the disciplinary action against him is applicable on an international basis based on the documents sent by the Chinese Football Association. ”
"If the Chinese Football Association notifies FIFA, then a certain degree of disciplinary action can be imposed on an international scale. If the Football Association disciplines Son Joon-ho for match-fixing, it will also apply to Korea. ”
The Korea Professional Football League also said, "We need to see whether the disciplinary action imposed by the Chinese Football Association will be extended to the international scope through FIFA." This may take time as the players will explain. ”
Suwon FC said, "When Son Joon-ho joined, an international transfer agreement was signed, and there were no problems at that time. Now that the Chinese Football Association has made a sanction, then we will pay close attention. If he makes a mistake, he probably won't be able to play this week. ”
"Seoul Sports" pointed out that "if there is no problem with the punishment of the Chinese Football Association, then Son Joon-ho's career will be over, and it will be very embarrassing for Suwon FC, who just signed with Son Joon-ho in June." ”
