What happened when Wuhan Optics Valley withdrew from the Super League?

654381October 7th, China Football Association officially announced the penalty decision for Wuhan Optics Valley Football Club to withdraw from the 2008 Super League. As expected, Wuhan Optics Valley Football Club was disqualified by China Football Association and fined 300,000 RMB. At this point, Wuhan will disappear from the map of China football at least in the next two years, and another hot and deformed football market will cool down.

On September 28th, an ordinary Super League match between Wuhan team and Beijing team came to an end. Li Weifeng stepped on Lu Jiang, a member of the Beijing team, when clearing the clearance. The latter grabbed Li Weifeng's neck with "throat lock" in a rage, and was immediately sent off by the referee, but Li Weifeng was not punished. The next day, the Beijing team appealed and threatened China Football Association to impose additional punishment on Li Weifeng for "deliberately trampling". On September 30th, China Football Association suspended Li Weifeng for 8 games and fined him 8,000 yuan. After receiving this notice, Wuhan Club failed to negotiate with relevant officials of China Football Association by telephone, so it decided to withdraw from the Super League.

1 0 June1day, the Wuhan team and the Football Association repeatedly failed to communicate and announced their withdrawal from the Super League. 10 On June 2nd, Wuhan Club held a shareholders' meeting afterwards to study related matters, and announced its withdrawal from the Super League to all the players. The team members left the training base and had a temporary holiday. At 3: 30 pm, the "relegation battle" between Wuhan team and Liaoning team failed to be staged at Xinhua Road Stadium, which was the first time in the history of China's top professional football league that a team voluntarily requested to withdraw from the league in the middle of the season.

Since the beginning of this year, Wuhan Club has been treated unfairly: at the beginning of the year, the Wang Sheng transfer incident made the Football Association ambiguous; Xi' an has 29 positioning balls in the frontcourt; Disputes with Dalian, Wuhan heavy punishment, Dalian light punishment; At the Football Association's appeal meeting against Wuhan team, there will be two attitudes; Li Weifeng was suddenly severely punished. Shen Liefeng said: "How can our players play football in such an environment? The Football Association is deliberately pushing us to the wall. We have been treated unfairly this year. There is no way but to quit. "

The chairman accused the Football Association of being too naughty.

The press conference originally scheduled for 10 in the morning has been postponed to 1 1 because Shen Liefeng is on his way to the club. After arriving at the club, Shen Liefeng communicated with the coaching staff and some players, and then told the media: "If the Football Association does not withdraw its authorization, Wuhan will quit."

A local club asked the Football Association to withdraw its authorization, which has never happened in the history of China football. In this regard, Wuhan Club said that we believe that Li Weifeng did not intend to be punished so severely. Shen Liefeng said: "We can accept two or three kinds of punishment, but our club cannot accept more than three kinds of punishment."

Shen Liefeng believes that China Football Association should give an account to Wuhan Club and create a fair and equitable football environment for China football. He said: "We hope that this attitude of Wuhan Club can promote the reform of China Football Association and stop fooling around, otherwise China football will never have a bright future."

Leave the background

/kloc-Start "Crisis Public Relations" three times in 0/8 hours.

From 5pm on September 30th, I received an oral notice from China Football Association about the big head punishment. Yesterday morning 1 1, Wuhan Football Club announced that they would quit China Football if the Football Association did not take it back. Behind this 18 hour, Wuhan Football Club experienced the most painful and significant crisis public relations in history.

Regrettably, as of this newspaper's press release, it is still unknown whether their crisis public relations can work. In this process, it is a difficult wait for players, fans and even local news media.

"No.1" PR: Get a dumbfounding reply.

After receiving the verbal notice from China Football Association, Wuhan Football Club immediately expressed its doubts to Ma Chengquan, director of the League Department, and hoped to get a report from the competition director on the spot. But Ma Chengquan's answer made Wuhan laugh and cry: "We haven't had time to read what the competition director wrote." It is understood that Li Weifeng deliberately kicked Lu Jiang in the competition report of the competition director.

In fact, on the second day after the match with Guoan, the League Disciplinary Committee sent a list of league punishment opinions to all the players, but in this punishment opinion, only Lu Jiang was given additional punishment, and there was no big mention at all. Obviously, the Football Association made such a punishment because Guoan sued the Football Association and threatened to quit China football.

Why does Guoan have to go against Wuhan? In addition to their poor performance, Guoan is also under great pressure. According to an insider, at the critical moment of winning the championship last year, Guoan wanted Wuhan to do its best to stop Yatai and help them win the desired championship, but the Wuhan team was quickly defeated. Guoan thinks that the Wuhan team is deliberately releasing water, so it is very dissatisfied with Wuhan.

"Second Landing" PR: The Dragon King said he had no electricity.

Wuhan Football Club immediately contacted the relevant leaders of the Football Association after receiving the penalty that Big Head would be suspended for eight games, but strangely, none of the leaders of the Football Association answered the phone, including the one who verbally informed Wuhan, and they did not answer the phone of Wuhan Club. Wuhan club has nowhere to ask about the specific reasons.

Finally, Wuhan got through to Xie Yalong, and he sent him away in a word: "I'm not in charge now, and it's useless for you to find me." It took a lot of effort to learn that the phone number of a vice chairman of the Football Association staying in a hotel room went unanswered three times in a row. A person in charge of the club said angrily: "We know that the vice chairman is in the room, but he just didn't answer the phone and made such an important punishment, and didn't even give the Wuhan team a chance to defend himself."

"The Third Place" PR: Go to Beijing and wait for Nan Yong to come back from Japan.

After failing to find the emergency public relations of the Football Association, the Wuhan Club and the coaching staff held an emergency meeting to study related matters. According to informed sources, relevant discussions continued until around 1 in the early morning. Finally, it was decided that if the Football Association did not withdraw its authorization, Wuhan would quit. Xu Zhiqiang and Li Weifeng, general managers of the club, were sent to the Beijing airport to wait for Nan Yong, vice chairman of the Football Association, who came back from a business trip.
