On the morning of August 7, the Chinese Football Association issued a penalty notice, suspending Three Towns defender Jiang Zhipeng for five matches and fining him 50,000 yuan for verbally abusing the assistant referee during their match against Shanghai Shenhua. After the match, Three Towns Football Club filed an appeal.

Football News wrote in an article: “The issue is not about Jiang Zhipeng’s red card, but about other similar behaviors, where refereeing standards are not consistent. Of course, the appeal does not affect the penalty. This season can be said to be Three Towns’ most difficult one, with team restructuring and injury woes followed by unstable club finances, resulting in fluctuating performances. Jiang Zhipeng, an experienced player who joined the team midway through last season, has played a significant role in the defense this season. Apart from tactical aspects, he has also provided guidance for the growth of young players. Under Three Towns head coach Ricardo’s system, Jiang Zhipeng, in addition to his usual trademark of overlapping and crossing from the flanks, has also played the role of a wing midfielder, providing defensive support for Dallan’s forward runs.”
Football News further added: “Jiang Zhipeng will not be able to return until mid-to-late October, during which time two international breaks will occur. This period was originally a good opportunity for Three Towns to earn points against opponents with similar strength and ranking. The absence of key veteran Jiang Zhipeng undoubtedly poses a challenge to Three Towns’ points race plan.”
