Domestic football is in a turbulent and chaotic situation, and many fans are worried that it will directly affect the performance of China’s national men’s soccer team in the U20 Asian Cup. But to the surprise of the outside world, China’s men’s soccer team has not been affected, but has played its best and advanced to the quarterfinals with the second place in the group. In this regard, many netizens believe that the national football team can get the qualification to appear again after many years. Apart from the great contributions made by the players and the coaching staff, it is also inseparable from the recent remarkable achievements in anti-corruption in China football. The arrest of Li Tie, the coach of the national football team, and Chen Xiaoyuan, the president of the China Football Association, is enough to show the strength and determination of this action. Just like the official tough voice of the People’s Daily, no matter who the big fish is behind it, we must find out in the end and vow to naturalize China football as a pure land.
After Li Tie was put on record and taken away, after four months of in-depth investigation, at present, more than 30 football figures have been taken away because of the case, including Liu Yi, Chen Yongliang and Chen Yuyuan of China Football Association. At the same time, the relevant departments can find out so many black sheep of China football in such a short time. Some netizens think that this can’t be separated from Li Tie’s voluntary confession, so everyone is more concerned about how Li Tie is doing in it. Will he get a chance to "be lenient" because of his active cooperation?
However, the fact is exactly the opposite of what everyone imagined. According to the latest media reports, Li Tie’s recent situation is not optimistic, and he tried to commit suicide on a hunger strike. The reason why Li Tie did this is probably because his wife Long Fei escaped from overseas with over 100 million yuan, which seems to mean drawing a line with Li Tie. Once the stolen money cannot be returned, Li Tie can’t get a chance to get a light sentence. It is precisely because of the despair that Li Tie gave up some people that he chose not to cooperate with the investigation.
Not only that, because of Li Tie’s uncooperative, according to the latest news from the well-known media Qin Yun, the relevant investigation team has been fully stationed in the Football Association, focusing on the League Department, and they should be ready to cooperate with others’ investigations at any time in the next period of time. After the arrest of Chen Xiaoyuan, the president of the Football Association, it is widely believed that the progress of the anti-corruption campaign has slowed down, and some of them are coming to an end. However, according to the news of Li Xuan on social media, after Chen Xiaoyuan, another person was involved in the case, that is, Chen Xiaoyuan’s son.
Moreover, from Li Xuan’s reply to netizens’ comments, it can be seen that Chen’s son is missing and has probably fled abroad, but I’m afraid he can’t escape. In other words, according to Li Xuan’s words, it can be understood that Chen’s son has been controlled by relevant departments and even taken away. Have to say, after all, the amount involved by Chen Qinyuan reached 3 billion. Only by frankly cooperating and choosing to give up his associates can he get a chance to reduce his sentence and get a lighter sentence. It can be seen that in order to protect himself, Chen Qiyuan knows better than Li Tie the truth that "he who knows the times is a hero".
Li Tie’s arrest has caused a series of anti-corruption actions, which have caused irreparable damage to the image of China football. Even because of the serious impact of this incident, China Football Association was removed from the professional committee of AFC, and Du Zhaocai, deputy director of national sports, was elected as a member of the FIFA Council, making China’s position in Asian and international football in jeopardy. In order to save the healthy development of China football in the future, it is hoped that those involved in the case, such as Li Tie and Chen Xiaoyuan, who have been arrested, will take the initiative to choose to cooperate and help China football to tide over this crisis smoothly. What do you think of this?
