On the evening of January 9, the popular drama "Flowers" on the TV screen ushered in the finale, but at the same time, a feature film "Continue to Make Efforts to Promote in Depth" was a great success in the same time period and became the focus of the audience's attention. Du Zhaocai, Chen Xuyuan, Li Tie and others confessed in the film, once again arousing the attention of the whole people to the corruption case in the football field. Since Li Tie was investigated in November 2022, he has become a hot topic of discussion among fans and audiences. However, what does it really mean for people to pay attention to Li Tie? Is it just curiosity and onlookers? From Du Zhaocai to Chen Xuyuan, from Li Tie to club players, from match-fixing to bribery, why is corruption not limited to the football field? What does the high-pressure anti-corruption mean for Chinese football? On the evening of the 10th, the live broadcast program (replay) of the Governor's Lounge invited Peng Xinlin, professor of the Law School of Beijing Normal University, executive director and deputy secretary general of the China Association of Clean Government and Legal System, and Wang Yang, a special reporter for sports in Beijing, to jointly answer the doubts in the hearts of fans and audiences. Wang Yang said that the restoration of the image of the national team in the future will be a difficult process, which requires the joint efforts of internal and external linkage.
At the same time, it is necessary to promote the development of the Chinese Football League, continue to advance in the professional league, and at the same time let the work of the Football Association focus on youth training, football population expansion, policy formulation, national team training, women's football security and other aspects. Peng Xinlin analyzed and pointed out that among Li Tie's five suspected crimes announced not long ago, the feature film has all disclosed the relevant circumstances, and Li Tie will pay a heavy price for his criminal behavior. The Chinese Football Association's power is too centralized, which provides room for corruption to flourish. Therefore, we need to establish a scientific and effective power operation mechanism to make the power of the Football Association decentralized and transparent. At the same time, in order to fight corruption, the sports world must "not be merciful", and put forward higher requirements for "not daring to be corrupt". Recently, Li Tie, an important figure in the football world, was prosecuted by the procuratorate and faces five charges. His actions are disclosed in the feature film, but do you know what these five charges are? Judging from the amount of money involved and other information, what kind of punishment may Li Tie face? According to the five charges listed by the Hubei Provincial People's Procuratorate, Li Tie's involvement has been fully disclosed. These include bribery, bribery, bribery, non-state functionaries, and bribery of non-state functionaries. These behaviors are detailed in the feature film.
For example, Li Tie, the head coach of the Huaxia Happiness Club, instructed assistant coach Zheng Bin to use 6 million yuan to "beat" the opponent's players, which involved the crime of offering bribes to non-state employees. In addition, Huaxia Fortune spent 14 million yuan to "say hello", which also involved the crime of bribery by the unit. In addition, in order for Li Tie to serve as the head coach of the national team, the club and himself paid bribes of 3 million yuan to Chen Xuyuan, the former chairman of the Football Association, and Liu Yi, the former secretary general of the Football Association, and also involved other bribery and **non-state staff** crimes. At present, Li Tie has been prosecuted by the procuratorate in accordance with the law and is in the first-instance trial stage. According to the amount of money involved in the case, the punishment that Li Tie may face should be very severe. These crimes involve huge sums of money and are violations of the law. The fines, sentences and suspensions he faces should all be severe. In short, the establishment of a scientific and effective mechanism for the operation of power is the most important link in the anti-corruption struggle. At the same time, we must also realize that the fight against corruption in football must be "not merciful" and put forward higher requirements for "not daring to be corrupt". In cases like Li Tie's, the public should be concerned about the seriousness of these crimes and the associated punishments. It also reminds us that the fight against corruption must be carried out resolutely, regardless of the industry.
So, what do you think of the Chinese Football Association's fight against corruption? Li Tie's suspected ** and bribery case has attracted widespread attention. According to the facts disclosed so far, the amount of money involved is huge, and it may face a sentence of more than 10 years in prison or even life imprisonment. In addition, the alleged bribery will also face a penalty of imprisonment of not less than five years but not more than ten years. All things considered, Li Tie may pay a heavy price for his criminal behavior, and the lesson is very profound. In addition, some netizens wondered why Li Tie in the feature film did not cut his hair. According to relevant provisions, the person being investigated, criminal suspects, or defendants will not be required to cut their hair or shave their heads during their detention, and the specific circumstances will depend on the actual situation. However, for hygiene and ease of management, haircuts are generally arranged. It can be seen from the feature film that the picture of Li Tie should be during the investigation, so there is no situation where he is asked to shave his head. The case has also raised questions about football's governing system. The Football Association's power is too centralized, leaving room for corruption. Now, the national team has also launched an anti-corruption feature film during the preparation period, and the employees of the Chinese Football Association have to write their feelings after watching.
The era of Jinyuan football has passed, and with the purification of the football environment, Chinese football must get back on track. This places higher demands on football practitioners. In summary, Li Tie may face a severe sentence, which will be a wake-up call for other football practitioners. At the same time, Chinese football must also strengthen management and supervision to prevent corruption. Only in this way can Chinese football achieve real development. So, how should football professionals respond to this situation? What advice do you have for the future of Chinese football? Recently, the behavior of Li Tie and others involved in the case has cast a shadow on the national football team, making fans even more disappointed and distrustful of the image of the national football team with "poor level but not bad". The image restoration and rebranding of the national team is a long and difficult process, which requires the joint efforts of internal and external linkage. The Football Association has begun to purify itself, which is like a restaurant with serious losses, if you don't sweep the floor clean, you will only have one way to go in the future. At the same time, the feature film pointed out that the long-term management of the league is not separated, the Football Association is both supervised and organized, and the power is too centralized, which brings great risks.
Regulators have also become "hunted", kidnapped by the club and the capital behind the club, and have given up the right to supervise the football industry. How to achieve the separation of management and management and better promote the development of the Chinese Football League? In 2017, the Football Sports Management Center of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China and the Chinese Football Association have completed the separation of management and management. However, since we have not yet formed a professional league like the Premier League and La Liga, the Football Association still has more power over the Chinese Super League than ordinary shareholders, not only supervision and service, but also decision-making power. This provides the basis for corruption. Chen Xuyuan has been prosecuted at present, and the crime involved in the case is **, and the time span is very long. We need to be more active in promoting the separation of management and management, making league management more professional, and promoting the healthy development of the football industry. Only in this way can Chinese football have a better reputation and status in the world. In general, Chinese football still needs to reform and innovate in many aspects to improve the overall level. We need to pay more attention to the cultivation and development of grassroots football, and at the same time strengthen the management and supervision of professional leagues. Only in this way can Chinese football truly move towards rejuvenation.
Well, the corruption of the Chinese Football Association has always attracted much attention, and recently, Chen Xuyuan was exposed to receiving tens of millions of yuan from many clubs. If the amount and time of his work in the Football Association are calculated, "more than 10,000 yuan of stolen money per day". This also reflects the excessive centralization of power and the lack of effective supervision of the Football Association, and the growth of corruption and unhealthy practices in the football world. In order to solve these problems, the Football Association needs to focus its efforts on youth development, football population expansion, policy development, national team training and women's football protection, so that professional leagues and other aspects of the work can be promoted. At the same time, the separation of management and management is implemented, so that the Football Association is only responsible for organization and supervision, so as to prevent the problem of excessive concentration of power. So, how can we effectively supervise and restrain the power of the Football Association to avoid the recurrence of corruption? The issue of corruption in football has always been a thoughtful topic. In view of this problem, we need to start from the aspects of system construction and power distribution, and build a scientific and effective power supervision and restraint mechanism, so as to achieve a more reasonable power structure. Important operations such as league management should be completed by two or more departments or organizations, and key positions should be rotated in a timely manner to prevent insider control.
In addition, it is necessary to adopt effective measures to improve the system and mechanism, and plug the loopholes in the system in order to curb the breeding of corruption. In the important speech of the general secretary, he stressed that we must continue to maintain a high-pressure posture of punishing corruption, and that we must not turn back, relax, or be merciful in the fight against corruption, and we must always blow the trumpet of the charge. In the fight against corruption in football and sports, we must adopt higher requirements and not relax in the slightest. Therefore, how to promote the separation of management and management and further improve the power structure of the Football Association is an important direction. In the fight against corruption in sports, we must be "not merciful" and put forward higher requirements in order to achieve the healthy development of football and sports. Anti-corruption in the field of sports, "no mercy", this is a high-pressure anti-corruption situation. In the fight against corruption in the new era, we need to continue to exert efforts and advance in depth, especially from the perspective of "not daring to be corrupt". In the fight against corruption, we cannot tolerate the existence of corrupt elements who are bold and reckless. Therefore, we need to continue to put pressure on the zero-tolerance policy and high-pressure punishment to be in place. For those who do not rein in and do not stop, we must make overall plans to use methods such as precise supervision, discipline enforcement and accountability, and investigation and handling of cases, so that they will not dare to be corrupt because of awe.
In football, we must have "no mercy" for corruption and unhealthy practices. In addition to "not daring to be corrupt", we should also emphasize "not being corrupt" and "not wanting to be corrupt". Anti-corruption is a systematic project, and we must adhere to systematic governance and full-cycle management. In tackling corruption and unhealthy tendencies in football, we must form a complete closed loop of case handling, governance, supervision, and education, so as to achieve both the symptoms and the root causes of corruption. In short, anti-corruption in the field of sports "cannot be merciful", and it is necessary to maintain a high-pressure anti-corruption posture. We cannot tolerate the existence of corrupt elements, and we must continue to increase pressure and maintain a zero-tolerance policy and high-pressure punishment. At the same time, in view of the problem of corruption in football, we must be "not merciful" and have zero tolerance for corruption and unhealthy practices. In addition to putting forward the requirement of "not daring to be corrupt", we should also emphasize that "we cannot be corrupt" and "we do not want to be corrupt". Through the integrated use of various means, the problem of corruption can be comprehensively controlled. Only in this way can we truly address both the symptoms and the root causes of anti-corruption work in the field of sports. Finally, I would like to ask readers, what are your thoughts on the fight against corruption in the field of sports? How do you think corruption and malpractices in sports can be better addressed? Feel free to leave your comments.
Corruption in sports has always been a recurring and difficult problem. We have to ask, why is there so much corruption in the world of sports? Why are these problems so stubborn that they have not been fundamentally solved? In fact, there are deep-seated problems behind this, such as institutional shortcomings, institutional obstacles, and institutional loopholes, which have not yet been effectively resolved. Corruption in sports did not happen overnight, but over many years. Just as freezing three feet is not a day's cold, to solve these problems, we must persevere and grasp them unremittingly. We can see from a feature film that the problem of corruption in sports has penetrated into all levels, involving money, power, reputation and other aspects. The existence of these problems directly affects the level playing field in the sports world, harms the interests of athletes, and even has a negative impact on society. Among the root causes of corruption in the world of sport are a number of institutional shortcomings and institutional obstacles. For example, the excessive concentration of power has led to some ** abuse of power, and the problem of power-for-money transactions has been repeatedly prohibited; Another example is that the selection mechanism is not transparent and fair, and it is easy to transfer benefits and buy and sell official positions.
The existence of these problems has made the problem of corruption in the sports world more serious and more difficult to solve. In addition, institutional loopholes in the field of sports are also an important reason for the persistence of corruption. For example, the management of funds is not standardized, and it is easy to be misappropriated and wasted, which provides an opportunity for corrupt elements; Another example is the lack of supervision, which has led to the occurrence of some violations. These loopholes in the system give opportunities for corrupt people to take advantage of, and at the same time weaken the regulatory capacity of the entire sports industry. To tackle corruption in sports, we must tackle the root causes of these problems. First of all, it is necessary to strengthen supervision and restraint over power, establish a sound mechanism for the operation of power, and ensure that power is not abused. Secondly, it is necessary to strengthen the transparency and fairness of the selection mechanism and put an end to the occurrence of the phenomenon of benefit transfer. In addition, it is also necessary to strengthen the management and supervision of funds, and establish a sound system and mechanism to prevent the occurrence of corrupt acts. Overall, the problem of corruption in sports is a long-term and complex problem that requires the joint efforts of society as a whole to solve it. ** Departments should strengthen supervision and governance, sports organizations should strengthen self-discipline and norms, and athletes should maintain good professional ethics.
Only through persistent and unremitting efforts can we fundamentally solve the problem of corruption in the field of sports and establish a fair, healthy and transparent sports environment. Finally, let's consider the question: in your opinion, how can the regulation of the sports sector be further strengthened to curb the occurrence of corruption?
