On the morning of August 7, the Chinese Football Association issued a penalty notice – Wuhan Three Towns player Jiang Zhipeng, during the Chinese Super League round 20 match between Three Towns and Shanghai Shenhua, verbally abused the referee. The Football Association Disciplinary Committee, based on the on-site reports of the referee and match supervisor, as well as video footage, concluded that Jiang Zhipeng had committed unsportsmanlike conduct, and decided to impose a 5-game suspension and a 50,000 yuan fine on him. This penalty once again made Jiang Zhipeng the focus of public attention.
Football News reported that for Wuhan Three Towns, they hope to complete relegation as soon as possible and strive for better results. At this time, losing a key player, especially a veteran who has been one of the most outstanding performers this season, is indeed a blow.
Joining Wuhan Three Towns in the middle of last year, Jiang Zhipeng then held an ambition to participate in the AFC Champions League and perform well. Moreover, he also hoped to use Wuhan Three Towns as a platform to add another championship trophy to his career. However, with the ups and downs in the development of Wuhan Three Towns’ stock, this goal seemed further and further away. In the team’s most difficult season, Jiang Zhipeng stepped up, starting in all 20 matches, giving his all in every game, contributing 2 goals and 5 assists. At 35, he seems to have rediscovered himself.
