China News Service Client, December 20. On the afternoon of December 20, the Chinese Football Association officially announced that the Chinese Super League Cangzhou Lions players Sangol and Liao Chengjian were suspended for three games and fined 30,000 yuan for fighting after the game.
On December 15th, after the match between Cangzhou Lions and Shanghai Shenhua, Cangzhou Lions players Sangol and Liao Chengjian had an infighting. The two of them were torn apart on the sidelines and were quickly pulled apart by their teammates.
Senghor hit Liao Chengjian in the face with his arm, while Liao Chengjian stretched out his foot to kick Sangol.
The referee on duty showed the red card and sent off the two.
On the night of December 15th, the club first issued an announcement on social media to apologize to the public, stating that the two players had a dispute over the defensive position, coupled with language barriers, misunderstandings occurred in the communication, and the pressure of relegation caused the two talents to lose control of their emotions. For irrational actions, the club stated that it would impose "severe punishments" on the two.
On the 16th, the club released an apology video for two players.
Today, the Football Association issued a ticket. Sengol and Liao Chengjian were both suspended for three games. They will miss the next match between Cangzhou Lions and Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, Wuhan and Shanghai Shenhua.
After the two come back, there will be only two rounds left in the Super League this season.
This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the relegation of the Cangzhou Lions.
At present, the Cangzhou Lions are ranked 4th in the relegation group with 14 points, only 3 points ahead of the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers in the relegation play-off area and 4 points ahead of the bottom Qingdao team.
