Ironically, who would have thought that the ultimate big fish in the "Li Tie incident" would be Chen Xuyuan, the head of the CFA?
So far, Li Tie, the head coach of China's national soccer team, Liu Yi, the secretary general of the Football Association, and Chen Xuyuan, the head of the Association, have been investigated, which is enough to see how chaotic Chinese soccer is.
What an inspiring story of Chen Xuyuan's rise from dockworker to group chairman to the top leader of Chinese soccer. During his time at the helm of Shanghai Port, Chen Xuyuan's keen vision won the club its first trophy in the history of the Chinese Super League.
Thereafter, in the second year of the changes in the soccer association, reached a new height in life. According to internal reports, Chen Xuyuan served as the Football Association mainly for three reasons: first, he has worked in large enterprises for many years and has strong qualities; second, with years of management experience and absolute familiarity with the system, he is believed to be able to perceive the shortcomings of Chinese soccer; and third, in terms of the requirements of soccer performance, it is the most persuasive in letting Shanghai Harbor win the championship.
At the beginning of his tenure, Chen Xuyuan publicly declared that "soccer itself is a noble sport. If you use it to make money you shouldn't, then your career ends here." ! Coincidentally, at the FA club meeting a few days ago, Chen Xuyuan also emphasized the sigh of "vigilance of the relevant interests within the FA and celebrated the death of his father."
But now with Chen Xuyuan taken away, it all seems more like a joke!
Not only that, but think about how many painful moments Chinese soccer has experienced along the way, which is closely related to Chen Xuyuan's various abnormal behaviors. There are at least four teams in the Chinese soccer meritocracy, such as Shandong Taishan, Guangzhou Evergrande, Tianjin Teda and Henan Jianye. As we all know, after Chen Xuyuan took office, he introduced a series of controversial policies, in which the neutralization of club names became one of the focal points. Shandong Luneng Taishan, Guangzhou Evergrande, Henan Jianye, Tianjin Teda, although there is a corporate element in the team name, in everyone's mind, the name is more like the culture of the club, far beyond the scope of commercialization. Once taken away, it will undoubtedly take away too much of the fans' feelings.
But Chen Xuyuan did not care so much and was bent on having his own way. However, in the face of his original old boss Shanghai Port, but a tolerance, Shanghai Port to Shanghai Port, the abbreviation is still Shanghai Port. Chen Xuyuan directly forcefully agreed to change the name.
There are too many controversies accompanying the decision of the Football Association, the final decision can only be the Football Association. In fact, the upper management previously showed a lot of dissatisfaction, otherwise it would not have directly bypassed the Football Association, to decide on the head coach of the national soccer team (Li Xiaopeng on the job, the Football Association to see, there is no right to decide), but also consider the face of the Football Association, to give him a certain degree of decision-making power.
However, there are still more important issues. After Chen Xuyuan is investigated, the organization of CFA-related tournaments, including cups of the Chinese Super League, Chinese First Division, Chinese Second Division and Chinese Championship, as well as the preparation of national football teams at all levels, will be put on hold for the time being. This is undoubtedly another blow to Chinese soccer.
The initial plan is that this season's Chinese Super League, will be fully restored home and away, this year involves national soccer matches, the Asian Games, the Asian Cup, etc., a series of important tasks waiting for the Football Association arrangements and plans, unexpectedly, when everything is ready, the Football Association, one after another, is a seismic change in the problem.
According to the previous reporter, AFC and FIFA are also closely watching the matter, and they don't rule out personally sending someone to investigate the cause, and if this is more serious, then FIFA will surely punish Chinese soccer severely. Initially, the status quo and foundation of our soccer has been destroyed, once we are punished again, we don't know when the fragile Chinese soccer will rise.
