On the evening of February 9, Beijing time, the Guangzhou Leopards Club officially announced the termination of contracts with 15 players, and Guangzhou Leopards said in the announcement that the club sincerely thanks everyone for their sweat and efforts, and wishes everyone all the best in the future.
Among these terminated players, there is Tang Tianyi, a national youth star who was previously deeply involved in a derailment + gambling scandal. This is also another major setback for Tang Tianyi recently after he was not selected for the official list of the U20 Asian Cup one day ago.
On the 19th of last month, a netizen with an account named "Tang Tianyi's girlfriend" posted on social media, strongly accusing Guangzhou Leopard's 18-year-old Tang Tianyi of cheating and participating in gambling. This incident instantly caused an uproar in domestic football.
1 day later, Guangzhou Leopard Club issued an announcement in response that it had launched a verification investigation, and if it was found that there was a violation of the relevant regulations of the Chinese Football Association and the club, it would be dealt with seriously and would not be tolerated. Tang Tianyi was also absent from the training and competition of the Chinese national youth in Thailand. On the 23rd of last month, Tang Tianyi left the national youth training camp and returned to China.
According to the netizen's follow-up revelations, Tang Tianyi proposed a compensation of 100,000 yuan or even less, asking the woman to induce the child and do another paternity test before killing the child. Because of the impact of this turmoil, Tang Tianyi not only failed to participate in the U20 Asian Cup national youth lineup, but was also abandoned by the Guangzhou Leopard Club. Although he is only 18 years old, Tang Tianyi's fledgling career may suffer a major blow.
