On July 20, in the previous round of the Chinese Super League, Zhejiang FC suffered a surprising 2-5 defeat away to Qingdao West Coast. The club’s general manager, Jiao Fengbo, was exceptionally furious about the match. At the Zhongtai Training Base, Jiao Fengbo delivered a stern lecture to the coaching staff and players, stating, “Are you aware that there are allegations of match fixing and collusion? Regardless of whether they’re foreign coaches or not, the club treats everyone equally. If you’re going to play, play properly; if not, get out!”

Jiao Fengbo angrily said, “I’m standing here today because of the last game. The club is in a critical period of restructuring, and then this happens. What’s the point of having a team if the club doesn’t even exist?”
He continued, “Do you know what the public’s reaction has been since we lost that game? They’re saying we fixed the match and colluded, do you know that? Years of building up the club’s brand value have been ruined by just one match.”
Jiao Fengbo then briefly calmed down before continuing, “On behalf of the club, I am thoroughly dissatisfied and very angry. Everyone needs to reflect on their own shortcomings. We treat everyone equally, including foreign coaches. If you’re going to play, play well; if not, leave.”
The Zhejiang Professional Football Club also included a caption when posting this video: “Thank you for believing in Zhejiang FC during these difficult times. The team will engage in more reflection and preparation to face every upcoming challenge with all our might! Please believe and hope along with us.”
