What A Day: Jiang Zhipeng Loses Game For China, Then Wife Accuses Him Of Affair

It’s hard to imagine one player dealing with two worse passes on the same day. First Jiang Zhipeng of China’s National Men’s Soccer team made a bad decision on a pass — heading the ball to the wrong team — that resulted in Iran’s 1-0 win in 2018 World Cup Qualifying.

Hours later on that same day, Tuesday, Jiang’s ex-wife Zhang Zhiyue told the Chinese National Team Committee that the reason they’re divorced was Jiang’s three-year affair with another woman. She made the charge in a social media post on Weibo, the Chinese version of Facebook, and added that Jiang should be thrown off the team.
