The recent news is really heartbreaking. The football we love is so deeply corrupted. It can be seen from the case of Li Tie, the former head coach of the Chinese men's national football team, that the problem of corruption in the field of football has become very serious, affecting the entire sports ecology.
As a footballer, I am very saddened by this situation. Football is supposed to be a symbol of fair play, but nowadays, it is controlled by money and power. Li Tie's behavior not only undermined the fairness of the game, but also betrayed all those who truly love the sport. He "bought" the national team players for 60 million yuan, which is not only disrespectful to the athletes, but also a deception to all fans.
What is even more shocking is that this corruption is not an isolated case. From the news, we can see that Chen Xuyuan, the former chairman of the Chinese Football Association, is also suspected of serious violations of discipline and law. This shows that the problem has permeated every level of the football system. The pervasiveness and depth of corruption in footballOne can't help but feel sad and angry.
These corrupt practices not only undermine the fairness of the game, but also cause great injustice to the fans. The fans were genuinely emotional, cheering for every goal and weeping for every defeat. But in retrospect, these joys and sorrows may have been just a manipulated drama. This kind of deception is difficult for anyone who truly loves football.
Importantly, this corruption has had an extremely negative impact on the long-term development of Chinese football. Corruption has led to a culture of short-sightedness and quick success, neglecting investment in young players and infrastructure. Without a healthy foundation and a good youth training system, how can we expect the rise of Chinese football?
I believe that in order to truly improve the level of Chinese football, it is necessary to root out these corruptions. There needs to be a more transparent and fair management system, so that every game is a real competition, not a game of money and power.
As fans and athletes, we all have our voices heard and demanded change. Victory on the football field should be a victory of strength and team spirit, not a victory of money and corruption. What we need is real football, a pure, impartial, exciting football. Hopefully, one day, we will be able to witness a real victory on a green field without shadows.
