on september 12, ding jie, a former player of the shaanxi chang'an athletic team who was banned for life, posted a message admitting that he had violated the law by accepting money after the game, but he said that he did not betray the team.

"the game where i violated the rules and regulations was on december 8, 2021, when shaanxi chang'an athletic played against nantong zhiyun. we won 2-1 and received 70,000 yuan after the game. in this game, i went all out to win, did not sell out the team, and did not do anything to let down the shaanxi fans."

"but i broke the law and have actively accepted the punishment. i have refunded the full amount to the judicial authorities and paid the fine. it's just that the punishment given by the football association this time is too harsh compared to previous cases and it is hard to accept."

ding jie

"i started learning to play football at the age of six, and it has been 31 years now. i have dedicated my entire youth to football. i played for liaoning hongyun for 12 years, chongqing liangjiang athletic for 6 years, with a salary arrears of 9.09 million yuan, and shaanxi chang'an athletic for 2 years, with a salary arrears of nearly 2 million yuan. because i love football, even when the team owed me wages, i still fought to the end and helped shaanxi chang'an athletic get the fifth place in the chinese league one, the best result in history."

"after the 2022 league ended, the team faced difficulties in obtaining admission to the football association. i was the first to sign a wage confirmation form to waive my unpaid wages. the remaining players and i hoped that the team could survive, but things did not go as we wished. chongqing liangjiang athletic and shaanxi chang'an athletic were disbanded one after another, and my two unpaid wages became a piece of waste paper."

on september 10, the chinese football association announced a list of football professionals who were banned from participating in football activities due to illegal and irregular behaviors. after review by the chinese football association disciplinary committee, 43 people including jin jingdao were banned from engaging in any football-related activities in my country for life, and 17 people including bahejiang wuerman were banned from engaging in any football-related activities in my country for five years.

at the same time, the chinese football association revealed that 44 football practitioners involved in the case have been sentenced by the court in accordance with the law, and 34 have been sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment or above. however, after the news was made public, nearly 10 banned football players have publicly "crying out for injustice" in recent days.

sun dong

sun dong, a player who was also banned from playing, said that he was forced to accept the money. "i did something wrong and got the most severe punishment. i shouldn't have done this, but i really had no choice because i've been playing football since i was a child and i only know how to play football. i have a mortgage, a family, and parents who need me to earn money to support the family. i've been owed wages for a long time and have to ask my parents for money to pay the mortgage every month. it's really uncomfortable."

"my salary before tax in 2022 was 12,000 yuan. i was paid more than 30,000 yuan that year. the child in my room was paid 3,000 yuan a month, and i was always in arrears. the players went to the chinese football association for arbitration, but it was delayed again and again, and finally nothing was done. then they told you to discuss with your club. the football association's annual deposit does not guarantee the interests of the players' unpaid wages. what does it guarantee?"

"who would be willing to take this risk if the salary can be paid normally every month? however, the players cannot receive their salary, which forces players in lower-level leagues like me to do this. if the wage arrears are not resolved, similar things will still happen. if it is resolved one day, i will be really happy for chinese football."

yang wenji

another player, yang wenjie, who was banned for life by the chinese football association, also posted a message saying that he had been owed wages for a long time, which led him to do things that let down the fans for 40,000 yuan.

"looking back now, it was really stupid. for 40,000 yuan, i not only let down the fans, but also received a three-month suspended sentence and had a criminal record. i am just an ordinary player, i don't have a high moral standard, i just want to make my family live a more comfortable life."

"if i could do it all over again, i would definitely play well, work hard, and restore the purity of chinese football."
