On January 29, Beijing time, a big tiger in Chinese football, Chen Xuyuan, was officially tried by CCTV news officials. The first trial has ended, and according to the disclosed information, Chen Xuyuan was suspected of corruption of 81.03 million yuan in the 13 years from 2010 to 2023. The verdict was shocking, and Chen Xuyuan made a statement at the trial, pleading guilty and repenting in court. Judgement in his case will be announced at a later date.
Chen Xuyuan's position in Chinese football is very important. The 68-year-old has been the chairman of the Chinese Football Association since 2019, and was previously the chairman of SIPG Group. What is unbelievable is that his corruption did not start with the Football Association, but as early as 2010, and its seriousness is thought-provoking. Interestingly, Chen's annual salary during his tenure at SIPG was only $1.15 million, which is in stark contrast to the amount he was involved in.
What's even more touching is that Chen Xuyuan once vowed that he did not want money to taint the football world, "Football is a noble sport, don't let money tarnish and distort it." However, this high-profile statement contrasts sharply with his behavior. His double standards are embarrassing, and it also makes him one of the sinners in Chinese football.
According to the report of Li Xuan, a reporter from "Football News", Chen Xuyuan went to the Football Association from the port, "I said early in the morning that the amount of money involved in Chen Xuyuan's case was close to 100 million, and he was greedy from the port to the Football Association." "It's a worrying situation about whether the club will be involved. It wouldn't be surprising if some teams accepted the penalty.
The next topic of concern is the sentence that Chen Xuyuan may face. According to the 2009 prison standard, Xie Yalong, who amounted to 1.36 million yuan, and Nan Yong, who was 1.19 million yuan, were sentenced to 10 years and 6 months respectively, while Chen Xuyuan was involved in a huge amount of money and could face more severe punishment. Reporter Cui Hengliang believes that in cases like Chen Xuyuan's, the sentence is generally about 15 years.
Impressively, Chen Xuyuan also recorded a CCTV anti-corruption documentary a few months ago, becoming one of the negative representatives. But what is puzzling is that he looked a lot fatter when he appeared at the trial. ** Zhao Zhen explained, "From the perspective of hairstyle and body type, Chen Xuyuan's documentary may have been filmed three to four months ago, some people say why he is fatter than before he appeared on the scene, it should be that some of the dust has settled, and people can eat and sleep."
Chen Xuyuan is not alone in the corruption problem in Chinese football. The arrest of former national football coach Li Tie is the fuse for the entire football world to fight crime and corruption. He used his identity as the coach of the national football team to sign a 60 million "contract" with Wuhan Zall, which caused a serious shock. With the end of Chen Xuyuan's trial, it will be Li Tie, Du Zhaocai, Li Yuyi and others next. It is hoped that Chinese football can get out of the shadow of corruption as soon as possible and return to the right track of development.
