The fourth episode of the series of feature films "Continue to Promote in Depth" broadcast by CCTV "Promoting the "Three Non-Corruptions" in One Piece", focusing on a series of corruption cases in the field of football, a number of former football figures appeared on camera to confess, and some facts of violation of discipline and law disclosed for the first time are shocking.
As we all know, the outbreak of corruption in the field of Chinese football began with the investigation of Li Tie, the former head coach of the Chinese national men's football team, and the former international player Li Tie retired and transformed as a coach, in the hands of Chen Xuyuan, from a club head coach to the head coach of the national football team, and the reason why Li Tie was able to "make his dream come true" is because he spent 3 million yuan, so as to get the support of the Football Association ** Chen Xuyuan and Liu Yiming.
Li Tie is a native of Shenyang, Liaoning Province, nicknamed "Running Can't Die" when he was a player, assisted Peilan and Lippi in the national football coaching staff, and served as an assistant coach of Guangzhou Evergrande, or Cannavaro and Scolari's deputy, and coached Huaxia Happiness and Wuhan Zall 2 teams as a head coach.
On October 31, 2019, Li Tie became the head coach of the national football selection team, and his task was to lead the team to the East Asian Cup at the end of that year; On January 2, 2020, he was appointed as the head coach of the national team by the Chinese Football Association, and he left class on December 3, 2021.
The feature film revealed that Li Tie's coaching career was actually "using money to open the way". The reason why Li Tie was able to become the head coach of the national football team is related to Chen Xuyuan, which is a "money relationship" to a certain extent.
Chen Xuyuan has served as the head of the preparatory group of the Chinese Football Association since May 2019 and was elected as the sixth president of the Football Association on August 22, 2019.
The night before he (Chen Xuyuan) 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 it. 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 on the TV screen: Come to my room, put the backpack on my sofa, and say Chairman Chen, congratulations, congratulations, I hope you can take care of more, and then I said something, he said the old rules, we are all like this.
From this point of view, Chen Xuyuan's transformation from a senior executive of a state-owned enterprise to the head of the Chinese Football Association is "looking at money". Li Tie, who was anxious for quick success, tasted the sweetness brought by money, and quickly targeted Chen Xuyuan, who was not short of money at all.
It should be pointed out that Lippi coached the national football team again that year, with the goal of reaching the Qatar World Cup. At that time, the first match of the top 40 matches of the national football team in Asia was away against the Maldives on September 10, and the Italians only had 5 months to prepare, and Lippi took office to arrange two flight training camps in June and August, during which he led the team to play 3 international warm-up matches.
As the chairman of the Football Association, Chen Xuyuan, knowing that Lippi's focus and energy are in the world preliminaries, is unwilling to lead the team to the 2019 East Asian Cup.
No one expected that Chen Xuyuan, who was elected as the 6th chairman of the Chinese Football Association, would develop a new position - "head coach of the national football selection team", which has become a new channel for Chen Xuyuan to collect money.
Feature film commentary] 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 the 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.
As we all know, according to international practice, the head coach of the Chinese national team is Lippi, and the "national football selection team" appeared overnight, as well as the newly appointed head coach of the selection team.
Previously, Lippi had formed the second national football team and served as the head coach himself, and the players of the second team performed well, or when there was a vacancy in the first team, he entered in succession, but his assistant coaches Madaloni, De Rosso, Andre, etc., were always only the executive coaches of the second national football team.
The establishment of the "National Football Selection Team" by the Football Association made Lippi very unhappy. On the one hand, Lippi learned afterwards that he was not fully respected, and on the other hand, Li Tiezheng transferred some international players who were abandoned by the Silver Fox, and to some extent was publicly "slapped in the face" to Lippi, who is famous in world football.
On November 14, 2019, the national football team lost 1-2 to Syria, Zhang Linpeng's own goal became the fuse, and Lippi resigned angrily again, which can be said to be a long-standing grudge to some extent.
The reason why Li Tie was able to become the head coach of the national football selection team was mainly because he spent 3 million yuan to buy off two key figures. Although the Football Association also organized an open competition for the interview of the head coach of the national football team, it was a complete farce, and Wang Baoshan and Li Xiaopeng were foils from the beginning.
It is said that Li Tie's mentor Zhu Guanghu was the leader of the national football team selection team at that time, and the 5 judges scored and finalized Li Tie at the same time, so is there any greasy in the middle? According to another report, at that time, Chen Xuyuan and Liu Yi were at the competition site throughout the whole process.
From this point of view, the "national football selection team", which is a special product of extraordinary times, has many drawbacks.
As the head coach of the national football team, Jankovic has also experienced the position of "head coach of the national football selection team", and in February 2023, he will be officially promoted to the head coach of the national football team.
In June 2022, the Football Association decided that Jankovic would be the head coach of the national football selection team to compete in the East Asian Cup in July of that year, with the national football selection team 0-3 South Korea, 0-0 Japan, and 1-0 Hong Kong, China.
Li Tie served as the head coach of the national football selection team, and after the East Asian Cup "training", and then successfully "ascended"; Jankovic also went through the East Asian Cup and became the head coach of the national football team, and the Asian Cup test is coming...
After Jankovic took office, he lost 1-1 to Malaysia and 1-2 to Hong Kong, China in the warm-up matches, and has already set two embarrassing historical records, is it necessary to put a big question mark?
According to public reports, on November 26, 2022, Li Tie, the former head coach of the national football team, was under supervision and investigation on suspicion of serious violations; On February 14, 2023, Chen Xuyuan was also accepted; The Football Association officially announced on February 24, 2023 that Jankovic will become the new coach of the national football team.
Obviously, the decision on the selection is most likely because Chen Xuyuan did not have the accident before, and he has already gone through the relevant procedures, after all, after Chen Xuyuan's accident, only 10 days later, there will be a head coach candidate results, under normal circumstances, including Du Zhaocai, others will most likely not take the initiative to make a decision.
