With Du Zhaocai having been detained for half a month, the onslaught of the Li Tie case seemed to be coming to an end, but with the re-start of the Chinese Super League, there has been an update on the Li Tie case. A number of journalists have revealed that former international goalkeeper Gu Chao has been arrested on suspicion of involvement in match-fixing, while former Suning club executive Yin Chenglong has also been taken away.
Gu Chao was arrested because he was suspected of match-fixing in Jiangsu Suning's 0-1 loss to Shanghai Shenhua in the 2019 Chinese Super League. As you can see, Gu Chao's arrest was not related to the gambling case of Jin Jingdao and Qin Sheng, because according to previous media reports, Jin Jingdao gambled with other people. The main reason is that the income of the players dropped after the golden dollar soccer, and in 2019, although the golden dollar soccer is coming to an end, the income of these players is still quite substantial.
In addition, some reporters pointed out that the reason for the arrest of Gu Chao and Yin Chenglong was provided by Wu Xiaohui, the former chairman of Shenhua. It can be seen that there were indeed many problems when Jiangsu Suning, which had super foreign aid and home advantage, lost to Shanghai Shenhua, which was unbeaten in nine rounds at the time. At that time, Gu Chao, as the goalkeeper of Suning, did perform very amateurishly when facing the shot of Shenhua's foreign aid Moreno.
It is worth mentioning that after the game, both the media and Jiangsu fans said that the game was a fake, however, it will take time to verify that the game was a fake, but the game was found to be a fake, and Shanghai Shenhua will be severely punished once again, and as you know, in the last soccer anti-corruption, Shanghai Shenhua was stripped of its last A-League trophy and also deducted points for buying referees to play a fake game.
Now, soccer corruption continues to fester, there are few executives in the soccer association, plus the Shanghai men's basketball team and Jiangsu men's basketball team were only punished by the basketball association for a silent ball, in this case, the soccer association will surely punish the fake teams harshly, of course, Gu Chao was caught because of the game, and the match between Suning and Shenhua was a fake, we must wait for the official news, after all, Shanghai Shenhua, as a giant of the Chinese Super League, won't make the same Mistakes.
As the case of Li Tie continues to ferment, the Chinese Football Association once again held a meeting on anti-corruption and integrity. According to reporter Zhao Yu, the meeting was chaired by Yan Zhanhe, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission. Zhao Yu also revealed that Yuan Yongqing, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Committee of the newly established working group, has also met with the personnel of the Football Association. It can be seen that the Football Association will focus on strengthening discipline next. Therefore, if there are teams that play fake football, they will obviously be severely punished.
