The annual anti-corruption blockbuster "Continue to Make Efforts and Advance in Depth" ended on the evening of January 9, and the last episode unveiled a series of corruption cases in the football field such as Du Zhaocai, former deputy director of the General Administration of Sports of China and former secretary of the Party Committee of the Chinese Football Association, Chen Xuyuan, former chairman of the Chinese Football Association, and Li Tie, former head coach of the Chinese national men's football team.
Among them, Li Tie was born in May 1977, a former Chinese professional football player, playing as a midfielder on the field. After retiring, he coached and served as a manager in Guangzhou Evergrande, Hebei Huaxia Happiness, Wuhan Zall and other clubs, served as the head coach of the national football team from January 2020 to December 2021, and then announced in November 2022 that he would accept the supervision and investigation of the ** Commission for Discipline Inspection, the State Supervision Commission in the State General Administration of Sports, and the Hubei Provincial Supervision Commission.
The feature film disclosed that Li Tie was investigated by the supervision organs, and the anti-corruption in football kicked off. Subsequently, more than 10 high-level and middle-level cadres of the Chinese Football Association were reviewed and investigated, including: Du Zhaocai, former deputy director of the State General Administration of Sports and former secretary of the Party Committee of the Chinese Football Association, and Chen Xuyuan, former chairman of the Chinese Football Association. The discipline inspection and supervision organs will also work with the public security organs to investigate dozens of people involved in the case, covering coaches, players, referees, club executives, agents and other aspects. With the comprehensive and in-depth investigation of a series of cases, the deep-seated problems in the field of football have gradually emerged.
Lots of match-fixing
Li Tie was the first person to be subject to supervision and investigation and was detained in this case, and it has been proved that the choice of this entry point is very accurate. The feature film revealed that he had served as a coach in many clubs, and also served as the head coach of the Chinese national men's football team.
* Ding Jintian, deputy head of the discipline inspection and supervision group of the State Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission in the State General Administration of Sports, introduced that as the resident agency of the ** Commission for Discipline Inspection and the State Supervision Commission, our group is based on the responsibility positioning, after discovering Li Tie's problem of using power for personal gain, on the one hand, we will seriously investigate and deal with it, on the other hand, we want to use this as a breakthrough to discover the fundamental problems existing in Chinese football, and answer the questions of the majority of fans why Chinese men's football cannot go up, so as to promote the healthy development of Chinese football.
The staff of the Hubei Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision pointed out that the reason why Li Tie was able to become the head coach of the national team was because he led two Chinese A teams to successfully enter the Chinese Super League, which actually played a very good role in his industry status. But in fact, Li Tie led the team to the Chinese Super League twice, and there were a lot of match-fixing behind him.
Li Tie turned to coaching after retiring, and in August 2015 he joined Hebei Huaxia Happiness Club as head coach for the first time. At that time, there were only 9 games left in the season, and Huaxia Happiness was only ranked 6th, and the prospect of surpassing was not optimistic. As soon as Li Tie took office, the club bluntly proposed that he would use his connections to buy his opponents.
Li Tie said, "When I was a player, what I hated the most was people who played match-fixing, but because I knew that these might help our team increase (surpass) chances and become the head coach of a team for the first time, I also have this mentality of wanting to prove myself." ”
The survey found that the "Jinyuan football" atmosphere driven by some wealthy clubs is an important catalyst for the deterioration of the atmosphere in Chinese football. Hebei Huaxia Happiness Club saw that Evergrande Club had brought a huge brand effect by investing in football, so it also tried to follow Evergrande's example of seeking short-term quick results through "burning money", and set the goal of surpassing success in the first year, qualifying for the AFC Champions League in the second year, and winning the Super League in the third year.
After Li Tie took office, he played a magical "eight consecutive wins" in the last eight games of the season, which made Huaxia Happiness finally lead its competitors by one point and surpass success. After investigation, the so-called "super-miracle" is completely manipulated behind the back by the hand of money. For example, in the last game of the season, Huaxia Fortune must win or draw to ensure that it can surpass, and the club has spent a lot of money on it.
In the last game, we spent about 14 million yuan, and we greeted the Shenzhen club, the head coach and the players. Meng Jing, the former chairman of Hebei Huaxia Happiness Club, said.
The feature film disclosed that the official level of Shenzhen Yuheng Club received a huge amount of money from Huaxia Happiness and agreed to "release water";At the same time, in order to provide multiple insurances, Li Tie's coaching team is responsible for directly buying opposing players from the individual level. Li Tie instructed assistant coach Zheng Bin and contacted Zheng Bin's hometown in the Shenzhen team, the main defender Li Fei. Li Fei offered 6 million yuan, saying that he would help them "play" a number of key players, and Huaxia Happiness agreed. Ironically, if it weren't for this investigation, no one would have known that the 6 million Riffae had actually been taken by themselves.
Li Fei said that in fact, he didn't look for anyone, "because at that time, whether it was the right time, the right place and the people, they all had the advantage, we were away at the time, and we had just finished the relegation, and our hearts were already scattered, so I thought about the last game, everyone was not injured, and we would have a holiday after the last game."
Li Tie tasted the "sweetness" of match-fixing at Huaxia Happiness Club, and when he was hired as the head coach of Wuhan Zall Club in 2017, he began to take the initiative to promote match-fixing to the club. At the instigation of Li Tie, Wuhan Zall Club also decided to "rush" at any cost. On October 6, 2018, Wuhan Zall successfully overtook three rounds ahead of schedule.
The staff of the Hubei Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision pointed out that the fans invested in real feelings, but what they saw was a fake show, and the memories of joy were all fictional, which would give people a feeling of instant collapse. This feeling actually erodes everyone's enthusiasm for football little by little.
"Tiezi, I'm definitely behind you".
An important reason for the continuous growth and spread of unhealthy trends in football is that the Chinese Football Association, which should have been responsible for supervision, has had many cadres who have been unable to resist themselves for many years, and have been coerced into the club's capital game.
Among them, 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.
The feature film disclosed that in the past few years of Chen Xuyuan's tenure, he has received tens of millions of yuan from many clubs. The chairman of the Football Association is like this, and the heads of many departments of the Football Association have also crossed the sea to show their powers. Through their case analysis, the task force found that although the Football Association is only a social organization, it actually holds huge public resources and public power, but its power has lost supervision and restraint, resulting in the popularity of "relying on football to eat football".
Du Zhaocai, former deputy director of the State General Administration of Sports and former secretary of the Party Committee of the Chinese Football Association, also used public and private weapons, "relying on sports to eat sports" and "relying on football to eat football", accepting tens of millions of yuan in property and property, and letting the chaos in football go unchecked.
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. 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.
Among them, Chen Xuyuan thought that in his tenure, if the national team can participate in the World Cup, "doesn't that prove that Chen Xuyuan is very capable."
Li Tie also wants to gamble on the World Cup. He feels that the false record achieved by match-fixing has accumulated capital for the position of head coach of the men's national football team, but he still needs to push it again. In August 2019, when he learned that the Chinese Football Association was going to form a men's national selection team to participate in the East Asian Cup, he felt that the opportunity had come. "Because I really wanted to be the head coach of the national team, 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 could help me say good things and recommend me. ”
The feature film revealed that Li Tie's idea of bribery was the same as playing match-fixing, and he felt that he needed multiple insurances. On the one hand, he lobbied the Zall Club to pay for 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.
Chen Xuyuan introduced, "The club sent me money and recommended it to me, and he said that Chairman Chen Li Tie is a good person, and the head coach (position) of the national selection team can create an opportunity and a platform for his future." ”
Liu Yi, the former secretary general of the Chinese Football Association, mentioned, "(Li Tie) asked me to chat and talk about the construction of the national team, and he took this opportunity to give me money at that time. He said that he hoped that the Secretary-General would give you more support, 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 immediately 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, the former chairman of Wuhan Zall Club, admitted that in fact, it was an exchange of interests, and the conversation was very naked, which players I brought in, and which player might give you playing time, and it would 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.
When I saw the national team roster that day, my face was red, what do you mean, I know the ability of our players, I can't get in, I can't get into any of them. Tian Xudong recalled.
The feature film revealed that once the selection of players and coaches is used as a weight for personal gain, it is inevitable that they will not be able to produce results. What's more, systematic youth training and a healthy league are the foundation of the national teamWhen the league is full of unhealthy tendencies, and money may determine the outcome of the game, this polluted football soil naturally cannot provide sufficient nutrients for cultivating talents. When fans were still looking forward to Li Tie being able to lead the men's national football team to the World Cup, many insiders already knew that such a miracle could not happen.
Li Fei, the player involved in the case, also said, "As insiders, we have no confidence, really." Often you are in a negative game, you are in a very relaxed state from both psychological and physiological aspects, and you are not always in a very concentrated state to complete these techniques and tactics, then you have a long time, and you can't be tight when you want to tighten up again. ”
The feature film mentions that Li Tie was appointed as the head coach of the men's national football team from January 2, 2020 to December 3, 2021, when he was "out of class" amid the scolding of fans. The result of quick success is that it rises quickly and falls quickly. I don't know if he still remembers that the reason why he was successful when he was a player was because he "couldn't run", not because he ran "fast".
And it was not only Li Tie who fell on the road to taking shortcuts. Hebei Huaxia Happiness and Wuhan Zall Club have now announced their dissolution. Du Zhaocai and Chen Xuyuan also failed to get the "political achievements" they wanted, but both fell off.
People's ** Weibo comment: The anti-corruption in football is not stopping, and it is time to scrape bones and cure poison
With such shocking corruption, how can the Chinese men's football team go up?spent 3 million yuan to "top" the national football coach, used 14 million yuan to buy the opponent to "release water", and collected 600,000 yuan to "worship the dock" before taking office. We must take this as a warning, "relying on football to eat football" will inevitably become a prisoner, and if you don't keep the goal, you should be sent off. The anti-corruption in football is not stopping, and it is time to scrape the bones to cure the poison!
