The anti-corruption storm in Chinese soccer continues as Wang Xiaoping, director of the disciplinary department of the Football Association (FA), and Huang Song, head of the competition department, were also involved in serious offenses. In addition, former national football manager Li Tie, former FA secretary general Liu Yi, former FA executive deputy secretary general Chen Yongliang and FA president Chen Xuyuan were also arrested. This soccer anti-corruption has taken away six top FA executives.
Some of the job descriptions of these FA executives have also been exposed and stripped bare. As director of the FA's disciplinary department, Wang Xiaoping issued 3.5 million fines in 2017, and some media outlets revealed that all of this money went into Wang's personal account. In addition, many FA executives have been arrested, and the "viciousness" of FA chairman Chen Xuyuan has also been unearthed. Former Sports Weekly reporter Ran Xiongfei quickly broke the news that Chen Xuyuan and Liu Yi had received 50 million dollars from Ding Yong, the general manager of the Shenzhen men's soccer team.
The media personality specifically said: "Take Ding Yong for example. During the Tianjin Tianhai, this buddy helped Shenzhen successfully qualify for the Chinese Super League to hack Tianhai. Not only 50 million to beat Chen Xuyuan Liu Yi, but also pulled together a number of media people such as Football Daily."
Illegally receiving 50 million dollars, this amount is quite large. It should be noted that Xie Yalong, the former chairman of the Football Association, received a private bribe amounting to 1.36 million yuan to help Shandong Luneng win the championship. In the end, Xie Yalong was fined 910,000 yuan plus 10 years and 6 months in prison. By this standard, Chen Xuyuan's illegal acquisition of this 50 million yuan is a staggering amount enough to send him to prison for more than 10 years. It's worth noting that Chen Xuyuan's illegal income was no worse than that of former national soccer coach Li Tie. At that time, Li Tie took Wuhan Zhuoer annual salary of 30 million illegal income, two years total income of 60 million. At that time, Chen Xuyuan also stood up for Li Tie to ask for salary.
At present, Ding Yong, who smashed money in Chen Xuyuan Liu Yi, was also taken away by the official disciplinary team. It can be said that all the participants have been arrested. I believe the disciplinary team will dig deeper to involve more Chinese soccer players. Former international player Xu Liang said that if he wants to save Chinese soccer, he needs to replace all the managers of CFA. Only with a big change of blood can Chinese soccer come back from the dead. Judging from the arrests of Li Tie, Chen Xuyuan and other top six leaders involved in serious disciplinary violations, Xu Liang's suggestion may actually be something to consider.
