Later, Shi Xueqing was interviewed by Sui Haitao, a famous reporter from the Peninsula Morning Post, a media outlet of Liaoning Daily. This was also Shi Xueqing's first interview after the CCTV exposure, revealing many little-known details of that year.

Li Tie's Super League run on match-fixing, Dalian side suffers from it
Shi Xueqing: justice is extended and fairness is defended
Li Tie led the team twice beyond, behind a large number of fake goals; as the head coach of the national soccer team, he to Chen Xuyuan and Liu Yi bribe 3 million yuan "to buy. CCTV aired anti-corruption warning education film thought-provoking, but also greatly shocked the Chinese soccer. Eight years later, justice has finally been restored to Dalian fans.In 2015, Dalian could have achieved its goal of going beyond if Li Tie hadn't blazed a trail with money and match-fixing.
At the time, the Dalian Fans Association openly reported various doubts about Hebei Huaxia Happiness Club, but the FA executives acted as an umbrella, but in the end there was no result. Now the truth has been revealed. Shi Xueqing, then general manager of the Dalian club, lamented that he and the Dalian fans had been wronged for eight years, and now they had finally been wronged!
"Beyond the Miracle" was manipulated by the hand of money.
In July 2015, with the backing of Wanda, the side took over Dalian Albin FC. Entrusted by Wang Jianlin and Sun Xishuang, Shi Xueqing returned to professional soccer as the club's general manager. At that time, the team had already gained some strength. With the arrival of a new investor and management team, they were soon back on track to overtake the competition. In a head-to-head confrontation with direct rival Hebei Huaxia Happiness, Dalian scored a home goal to defeat their rivals and grab a favorable position for overtaking. Hebei Huaxia Happiness FC immediately changed coaches, replacing Antic with Li Tie.
Li Tie took over with only the final nine rounds of the season remaining and Hebei Huaxia Happiness sitting in sixth place in the Chinese First Division. A CCTV featurette reveals that once Li Tie was appointed, the club bluntly suggested that he should use his contacts to buy the opposition. In the last eight rounds of the competition, Hebei Huaxia Happiness managed to overtake Dalian with a "miraculous" eight consecutive victories. The CCTV feature film pointed out that the so-called "beyond the miracle" is completely manipulated by the hand of money behind the scenes. In the last round of matches, Hebei Huaxia Happiness Club spent 14 million dollars to buy the opponent, from the club to the manager to the players.
Over $500,000 for Dhanarach
The investors invested a lot of money, the players and coaches put in great efforts, but finally lost to the rivals. On October 29, 2015, the Dalian Fans Association held a press conference to report to the Ministry of Public Security and the State General Administration of Sports some "strange phenomena" in the Chinese First Division League, and stated that there was enough evidence to prove that Hebei Huaxia Happiness Club was the initiator and ultimate beneficiary. The club is the initiator and ultimate beneficiary of the scandal. Shi Xueqing, as vice president of the Dalian Fan Association, presided over and participated in the whole process.
Later, it was publicly reported that Dalian had been wronged eight years later for various reasons.10, Shi Xueqing revealed the insider information of that year to reporters. At that time, the side analyzed that Xinjiang was the most powerful team to stop Hebei Huaxia Happy's winning streak. They had a particularly good home atmosphere and a high home win rate. In the first half of the same year, they beat the powerful Guangzhou Evergrande team in the knockout round of the FA Cup.

In addition, Xinjiang's home game time is scheduled for 18:00, which is very uncomfortable for coastal and other continental teams. Considering that Hebei Huaxia Happiness Club might make a fuss off the field, Shi Xueqing flew to Urumqi and proposed to Xinjiang Club: We will not do anything against sportsmanship. We also hope that you will defend your honor, fully demonstrate your sportsmanship, and approach the game with all your might. The other side promised to uphold sportsmanship and deserve the predominantly ethnic minority Xinjiang fans.
Shi Xueqing said he was surprised that before he returned to Dalian, he received a call from Mr. Sun, the head of the Xinjiang club. The other party said that when the old Shi's front foot left, someone came to them to talk about "sponsorship". After the meeting, he learned that the other party was the then president of Huaxia Happiness Fund Co. He suggested that in the following year, he could spend 12 million yuan to buy the Xinjiang team's chest advertisement through a third-party company, meaning he wanted to give the team a big gift. At that time, the Xinjiang club was not well-funded, with an annual income of only 4 million yuan, and was worried about the lack of funds every year.12 million yuan
Shi Xueqing said it was only human for the other side to express their embarrassment and nagging emotions. Later, under the mediation and supervision of the local sports bureau, Shi Xueqing ensured that the Xinjiang club would go all out for the match. But in the end, accidents happen. Just before the start of Xinjiang's home match against Hebei Huaxia Happy, foreign aid player Danalah suddenly suggested that he was injured and could not participate in the match. At first, he came to the stadium with his shoes and then left directly after his vacation.
This caused great dissatisfaction among the Xinjiang club. The next day, they arranged for Danarach to undergo a medical examination. The result proved that Dhanarach had no new injury and did not affect the game. Xinjiang Club immediately issued a statement to penalize Danarach with three suspensions. At the same time, Xinjiang club also sent an open letter to the CFA, hoping that the CFA and the police would participate in the investigation and attribute the incident to the truth. When Dhanarach saw that the situation was not right, he unknowingly and quietly left the country. Since then, Dah has never dared to enter China again. He learned from a reliable source that Dhanarach had acquired more than half a million dollars of black gold from the Huaxia Happy Club
Shi Xueqing reports, Yu Hongchen avoids it
After the Dalian Fans Association held a press conference to publicly report Hebei Huaxia Happiness Club, Shi Xueqing and an official of the Dalian Football Association traveled to Beijing in hopes of submitting the report to the vice president of the CFA, Yu Hongchen, who was in charge of league affairs at the time, in person. As a result, the other party always shunned them. In the end, there was no response to the report or the open letter from Xinjiang. Shi Xueqing was unsuccessful, so he earned the reputation of "not being able to play". On November 3 of that year, the China First Division awards ceremony was held in Langfang, the home base of Hebei Huaxia Happiness Group. Earlier this year, Huaxia Happiness booked an end-of-year celebration for the CFA, possibly because they
Eight years have passed, and today the truth is finally revealed. Li Tie, Meng Shock, Yu Hongchen and others have been fired. Shi Xueqing said that after watching the CCTV special on anti-corruption, he was filled with complex emotions such as excitement, anger and sadness. As a veteran of the soccer world, he was also a witness, witness and victim of the series of fake ball manipulation cases by Li Tie and Huaxia Happiness. His first feeling was that justice was extended, fairness was defended, evil was punished and the truth was revealed to the world.
In addition to comfort, Shi Xueqing is also very proud. He said that Li Tie's case has two lines, one is the national team and the other is the club. His public reporting back then, as well as his relentless disclosure of some facts and criminal clues over the past eight years, has played a role in providing the working group with the direction and trend of the case, and facilitating the investigation process of these cases.
Shi Xueqing disclosed that his new book "Iron Case" - China's "Soccer Prisoners" pulled by Li Tie's case will be published soon. Based on his personal experience, combined with the various benefits exchanged between officials of the Football Association and clubs, such as Li Tie, Meng Shock, Yu Hongchen and Ma Chengquan, in the league, they depicted and portrayed the chaos of the Chinese soccer professional league and the various problems in the development and construction of the clubs, which provided a good strategy for revitalization of the Chinese soccer.
