On the afternoon of September 11th, Beijing time, South Korean player Sun Junho, who was previously arrested by the Chinese police for a "fake gambling" case in football and was banned for life by the Chinese Football Association yesterday, held a press conference in South Korea.

On the afternoon of September 11th, Beijing time, South Korean player Sun Junho, who was arrested by the Chinese police for a "fake gambling" case in football and was banned for life by the Chinese Football Association yesterday, held a press conference in South Korea.

On May 12, 2023, Sun Zhunhao was taken away by the police when he tried to leave the country from Shanghai. On March 25 this year, Son Junho was released and returned to South Korea. At the end of April, Son Junho completed his registration in the K-League. In June, he joined Suwon FC and returned to Korean football.

If the FIFA Disciplinary Committee passes the Chinese Football Association's punishment, then he, who was "banned for life" by the Chinese Football Association yesterday, will face a global ban and his career will end early.

However, the "facts" he said at the press conference, crying bitterly, were too contradictory and inconsistent with common sense, and it was difficult for him to be recognized by the outside world.

was accused of accepting Jin Jingdao .2 million yuan -

Sun Zhunhao said that he had a good relationship with Jin Jingdao and could communicate with each other in Korean on a daily basis. The two had also borrowed money from each other through WeChat transfers, and the amounts were relatively large. When Kim Kyung-dao opened football courses, Son Jun-ho gave him a gift worth 10 million won (approximately RMB 53,000). However, Son Junho stated that he "did not obtain any benefits through match-fixing." As for the specific nature of this 200,000 transfer, he himself could not remember clearly. The game that

was investigated for suspected "fake gambling" was a 2:2 home match between Shandong Taishan and Shanghai Haigang in the Chinese Super League on January 1, 2022. Sun Zhunhao said: "I did receive 200,000 yuan on the sixth day after the game. Although I can't remember the specific situation, I believe it was not illegal funds. And Jin Jingdao, who was close to me at the time, did not participate in that game. We didn't meet again after the game. I was the only one who played the full 90 minutes, and the other players didn't even play. How could I control the score alone? "In fact, Sun Junhao misremembered the fact that Jin Jingdao was there? He came on as a substitute in the 70th minute of the game, and both sides scored one goal after that. And it was Sun Junhao's eye defense that allowed SIPG's Mu Yi to finally score a goal.

Talking about the evidence of bribery provided by the public security department -

Sun Zhunhao said that this money is evidence of suspected bribery. The public security department called it reciprocal behavior after seeing the fund transaction records. But this was "not a fund used to manipulate the results of the game. I was afraid and wanted to go home, so I admitted my bribery behavior. The language communication was not smooth at the time, and I didn't know how the specific procedures were carried out."

talks about why he was in Shanghai Arrested in non-Jinan -

Sun Zhunhao said that after the match against Chengdu on May 10, he planned to leave the country on the 11th. His daughter had physical problems while adapting to life in the new kindergarten, and his son also caught a cold. He decided to return to South Korea for his children's medical treatment. He also held a meeting with his coach to discuss returning to China on the 16th.

Sun Zhunhao said: "I originally booked a flight from Jinan Airport to South Korea at 8:30 in the morning on the 11th, but when I arrived at the airport they said I couldn't check in because I was late and couldn't check in my luggage. I asked the translator to help me find a flight ticket. He said there was a flight from Shanghai at 3:30 pm, and my family and I went to Shanghai. We had lunch together and bought toys for the children. But when the passport was checked, They asked us to wait. I don't know what happened. After 3 minutes, the police came and arrested me in front of my family."
