Du Zhaocai: It has become a common practice to dredge things up by sending money and goods.
According to ** reports, the amount involved in Du Zhaocai's case exceeded 40 million yuan. He is also the highest-ranking player to fall in this football anti-corruption storm.
According to public information, as the current deputy director of the General Administration of Sports of China, Secretary of the Party Committee and Vice Chairman of the Chinese Football Association, the 63-year-old Du Zhaocai has served as a member of the FIFA Council, chairman of the AFC Referee Committee, executive chairman of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup China Organizing Committee, and chairman of the East Asian Football Confederation.
On October 7, 2023, Du Zhaocai was expelled from the party and public office for serious violations of discipline and law. On October 10, the Supreme People's Procuratorate made a decision to arrest Du Zhaocai on suspicion of ** crime in accordance with the law.
The feature film reported that Du Zhaocai "relied on sports to eat sports" and "relied on football to eat football", accepted tens of millions of yuan in property, and resigned himself to the chaos in the football world. "It seems to be a common practice to get things done by sending money and goods. ”
Du Zhaocai said: "I have not been a good "goalkeeper" in the anti-corruption struggle of Chinese football, and in the "hunting" of the interests of the club boss, it is actually a subjective reason, and it has not been strictly controlled, and some have gone with the flow." ”
The feature film said that in 2022, there were clues that some matches in the Chinese League were suspected of match-fixing, and after receiving the relevant clues, the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China asked Du Zhaocai to take the lead in investigating and dealing with it, but Du Zhaocai secretly changed the concept and used the so-called "research" to perfunctory.
Chen Xuyuan: Football corruption is all-encompassing.
Chen Xuyuan confessed to the camera, saying that he would not grasp this kind of atmosphere if he received money from the club.
In August 2019, Chen Xuyuan was appointed chairman of the Chinese Football Association, and in December of the same year, he was appointed deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the Chinese Football Association. The former dock worker became the first president of the Chinese Football Association in the history of the Football Association who was not from the sports system, and the first full-time president.
Football corruption is not one aspect, it is all-encompassing. Chen Xuyuan said, "If I collect money from the club, I won't grasp this kind of atmosphere, otherwise I will just catch myself and let this phenomenon go." ”
Chen Xuyuan was elected as the sixth chairman of the Chinese Football Association at the Xianghe National Football Training Base in Hebei Province on August 22, 2019. And the night before he was elected, two heads of local football associations knocked on his door one after another, and each gave him 300,000 yuan to "worship the pier", asking him to take care of him. Before Chen Xuyuan took office, he felt the huge benefits hidden in this circle, and then he was willing to fall into it.
Chen Xuyuan said: "(They) came to my room, put the backpack on the sofa, and said Chairman Chen, congratulations, congratulations, I hope you can take care of it, and then I asked what it was, and he said that the old rules are like this, and we are all like this." ”
According to the feature film, in 2015, the General Office of the People's Republic of China issued the "Overall Plan for the Reform and Development of Chinese Football", emphasizing the need to focus on the long-term and consolidate the foundation, continue to work hard, and work for a long time. Du Zhaocai and Chen Xuyuan, as the heads of the Football Association, should have implemented the best decision-making and deployment, and took the promotion of reform as the first priority, however, they all felt that the reform was difficult and slow.
Chen Xuyuan said: "After reading the reform and development plan, I am afraid of difficulties, and the Football Association is in office, and I can't do many things. In fact, it is also a matter of the perception of political performance. I think that in my office, the national team can participate in the World Cup, doesn't that prove that Chen Xuyuan is very capable. ”
Chen Xuyuan said in a trembling voice: "Fans can tolerate the backwardness of Chinese football, but they cannot forgive corruption." As the president of the Football Association, I have to take the main responsibility, I want to deeply apologize to the fans across the country, I was wrong, I really think I was wrong, I regret it very much, there is no regret medicine to buy, if there is regret medicine to buy, I am willing to buy it back with my life, I will not do this kind of thing again. ”
Li Tie: Bribery and match-fixing have become habitual.
After Li Tie retired, he successively served as the assistant coach of Guangzhou Evergrande Club, the assistant coach of the Chinese men's national football team, the head coach of China Happiness Club, and the head coach of Wuhan Zall Club. From January 2020 to December 2021, Li Tie served as the head coach of the Chinese men's national football team, but resigned due to poor results in the top 12 of the Asian region of the World Preliminary Championships. At the time, some of his off-field performances also raised a lot of questions. First, at the post-match press conference of the national football team's draw with Australia, he made a speech for about half an hour, refuting various controversies one by one;The second is that he advertised on his personal Weibo, and some of the brands were in competition with the sponsors of the national team, and he was accused of "bringing goods in violation of regulations".
Li Tie said to the camera: "Sometimes many things seem to be taken for granted in the football circle, but now they seem to be illegal and criminal. ”
Luo Yu, a staff member of the Hubei Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision, said in the feature film: "The reason why Li Tie can become the head coach of the national team is that (the reason) has led two Chinese A teams to surpass, in fact, he led the team to the Chinese Super League twice, and behind it is a lot of match-fixing. ”
Huaxia Happiness ranked sixth in the last 9 games, and won eight consecutive games in the last 8 games, and finally surpassed the success by 1 point. Li Tie said: "What I hated the most when I was a player was match-fixing, but I knew that this would help the club to increase its chances, and I wanted to prove my mentality when I became the club's manager for the first time on my own. ”
The last game of the season must be won or drawn to be promoted, and Meng Jing, the former chairman of the club, said: "I spent about 14 million yuan, and I said hello to the Shenzhen club and the head coach at that time. ”
Li Tie contacted Li Fei through assistant coach Zheng Bin, and Li Fei said that he needed 6 million yuan to "play the dot", but in the end Li Fei swallowed the money alone, which did not affect Huaxia Happiness to win the game 2 0 in the end.
Achieving success in an improper way will make you more and more eager for quick success, looking for referees to do work, buying opposing players, coaches, and clubs to find clubs, this way has become a habit, and even a little bit of dependence later. ”
The feature film also revealed that during his tenure at Wuhan Zall, Li Tie began to take the initiative to promote match-fixing, "This is not the Li Tie I know." Tian Xudong, former chairman of Wuhan Zall Club, said.
In the process of Li Tie becoming the head coach of the national team, there are also money transactions, and Li Tie's idea of bribing is the same as playing match-fixing, and he feels that he needs multiple insurances. On the one hand, he lobbied the Zall Club to pay him to do his work, saying that if he could "get on top", he would also repay the club in many ways, and the club took out 2 million yuan to bribe Chen Xuyuan for this. On the other hand, Li Tie felt that Liu Yi, the secretary general of the Football Association at the time, also had a lot of right to speak, so he gave Liu Yi 1 million yuan out of his own pocket.
Li Tie said: "Because I want to be the head coach of the national team so much, I thought of a lot of ways, found a lot of people to ask for help, and found the leaders of the Football Association, who can help me say good things and recommend me." ”
Chen Xuyuan said, "The club sent me money to recommend me, and he said that Li Tie is a good person, and the national team's selection of head coach (position) can create an opportunity and a platform for his future." ”
Liu Yi, former secretary general of the Chinese Football Association, said: "(Li Tie) asked me to chat and talk about the construction of the national team, and at that time took this opportunity to give me money. He said that he hoped that the Secretary-General would support him more, and I said no problem, I will definitely support you. ”
In this way, Li Tie became the head coach of the men's national football selection team as he wished, and after Lippi resigned, he was quickly appointed as the head coach of the men's national football team. The day after the position was confirmed, Li Tie flew to Wuhan to negotiate a deal with Zall Club.
Tian Xudong said: "In fact, it is an exchange of interests, the conversation is very naked, which players I bring in, then they will be given playing time, and there will definitely be a good relationship at the level of the Football Association to help you provide some resources." He gave us so many very ** chips and asked us for money. ”
The feature film revealed that Li Tie and Zall Club signed a so-called "contract" with a total amount of 60 million yuan, but in fact, it was just a cover to cover up the essence of the power-for-money transaction. He quickly added four players from the Zall squad to the national squad.
Tian Xudong said: "When I saw the national team list that day, my face was red, what do I mean, I know the ability of our players, and none of them can enter the national team." ”
Li Tie finally said: "I regret it very much. It is still necessary to be down-to-earth, but also to take the right path, not to rush for quick success, and not to do everything possible to take shortcuts. This newspaper has a comprehensive message.
