Why did Wang Jianlin announce his retirement from China football?

Because football was too dark at that time.

1September 1998, Wanda players were repeatedly violated by Liaoning players in a semi-final of the FA Cup, but the referee still turned a blind eye. Wanda took the lead in breaking in the second half.

But the referee blew off the goal on the grounds of offside. In the end, the game was dragged into the penalty shootout, and the Liaoning team blocked Dalian Wanda at the door of the FA Cup final with the penalty shootout.

After the game, Wang Jianlin announced in front of reporters that Dalian Wanda would quit China football forever.

Wang Jianlin said that as a boss, he was really disappointed with the darkness of football in China. He is not afraid of losing money, but he is afraid of the dark scene of football. He also hopes that the leaders of the China Football Association can get rid of these scum on the football field.

Team experience:

From 65438 to 0994, Dalian Wanda Football Team was jointly established by Dalian Sports Commission and Dalian Wanda Group to participate in the first national football league after professionalization.

1996 season, Dalian Wanda made a comeback under the leadership of Chi Shangbin, creating the myth that the professional league was unbeaten for 55 consecutive home and away games, and regained the A-level championship. In the friendly match, 1-0 defeated the Italian Napoli club and the Ukrainian national team 6-5.

Xiao won the Silver Boot Award in the 1997 season. Dalian Wanda firmly holds the top spot in A, and winning the championship is as easy as grabbing something. Dalian's unbeaten record of 55 games was broken when it lost to its old rival Shanghai Shenhua 4-2 in the final round of the league.
