According to Beiqing Sports, on the afternoon of July 23, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) officially announced penalties for disciplinary violations in professional leagues. Chengdu Rongcheng FC player Wei Shihao, a member of the Chinese national team, was found by the CFA Disciplinary Committee to have committed an act of violence for kicking Wuhan Three Towns FC player Deng Hanwen from behind in the 24th round of the Chinese Super League. As a result, he was suspended for four games and fined 40,000 yuan.
Shortly after the announcement of the penalty, Wei Shihao, in response, posted a picture on his personal social media platform. The picture showed Shandong Taishan FC foreign player Krcic kicking Shanghai Shenhua FC national team player Zhu Chenjie in a similar manner.
Krcic, who received two yellow cards and was sent off, naturally served a one-game suspension and was not given any additional penalties. This has sparked heated discussion about whether the CFA has double standards in handling similar disciplinary cases. After receiving such a heavy penalty, will Wei Shihao still be selected for the upcoming national team training camp? This requires careful consideration from the CFA and the national team coaching staff.
The media believes that regardless of the situation, the penalty against Wei Shihao has already been imposed, which is an irreversible loss for both Rongcheng FC and the player himself. Although Wei Shihao has sincerely apologized afterwards, he must seriously reflect on and learn from his “repeated offenses.”
In addition, the media also mentioned that the national team coaching staff has been studying the player list for the 18th round of World Cup qualifiers in the past two days. Wei Shihao, as a hero in the national team’s victory against Thailand in the 36th round, had the ability to continue providing technical support for the team in the 18th round. However, this disciplinary incident could have a negative impact on his future national team career. Whether national team head coach Ivan Kovacic will select a player who has seriously violated discipline and is unable to participate in the next training camp is indeed a matter of concern.
