At the beginning of 2024, CCTV has launched a new anti-corruption documentary, which gathers serious corruption incidents and typical people in recent years. Among them, the anti-corruption storm of the Football Association, which lasted for more than a year, became the focus of heated discussions among fans and the Internet. Last night, the audience finally witnessed the appearance of Li Tie, Chen Xuyuan, Du Zhaocai and others, and the attention of this episode refreshed the amount of the entire documentary. Through the investigation and the statements of the parties, a thought-provoking chain of football interests is revealed.
As a high-level figure in this chain, Chen Xuyuan, the former chairman of the Football Association, played a key role as a link. According to the documentary, on the first night of his tenure as president of the Football Association, two clubs sent cash directly. In the face of the so-called rule fee of 600,000 yuan, Chen Xuyuan did not hesitate to accept it in its entirety, which also marked that he had embarked on the road of complete corruption. He then continued to collect favors from the club, turning a blind eye to the problem of match-fixing, and even covering up illegal acts.
Li Tie's so-called miracle of rushing to surpass is actually a big scandal during Chen Xuyuan's tenure. As the core player of the Chinese men's football team in the past, Li Tie became a coach after retiring, and led Hebei Huaxia Happiness and Wuhan Zall to successfully surpass in just a few years. The outside world sees him as a miracle worker, but the reality is that it is all a phantom of money piling up. By buying the management and players of the opponent, the club provided great convenience for the two teams to qualify for the Chinese Super League.
Chen Xuyuan naturally also got a share of the benefits. More importantly, he did not focus on the steady development of the Chinese men's football team, but pursued opportunism and sought political achievements for himself. Therefore, after he became the president of the Football Association, he not only carried out unrealistic reforms in the Chinese Super League, which led to many clubs falling into a situation where they could not make ends meet and had to go bankrupt and withdraw from the league. After dealing with the problem of the Chinese Super League, Chen Xuyuan set his sights on the national team, trying to achieve the men's football team's impact on the Qatar World Cup through naturalized players.
However, a president of the Football Association who lives in fantasy, a coach who only knows how to rely on match-fixing to create so-called miracles, naturally cannot lead the team to achieve good results. The two men immediately became a hot topic after the crushing defeat in Vietnam, and they were about to face a familiar wave of anti-corruption. In the interview, Chen Xuyuan constantly emphasized his remorse, and even cried excitedly. However, none of this can win anyone's sympathy.
Netizens have said that this is just crocodile tears, he reaped the consequences, and now is the moment to bear the consequences.
