The Chinese Super League recently entered the off-season with some teams involved in the case of Li Tie and were taken away for investigation. For the league's working meeting, Football Daily said it will be held on Jan. 15 and will be attended by Chen Xuyuan, president of the FA, in what will be Chen's most recent public appearance.
In addition to the new news coming from Chen Xuyuan's trend, there is also an update from the national team. Recently, Chen Xuyuan did not accept media interviews as he led the national management and media are investigating the national team. According to domestic media reports, the next step will be for the CFA to take direct command of the Chinese men's and women's national teams.
That is to say, next, the CFA can directly decide the development of the national team, which can be seen as the baton of the Chinese men's and women's national teams. For the current CFA, Chen Xuyuan is once again being questioned.
Many fans and media outlets believed that it would be difficult for Chen Xuyuan to complete his five-year term, and there were even rumors that he might be investigated. However, judging from the current situation, Chen Xuyuan's dismissal may be reversed and it cannot be ruled out that he will complete his five-year term and even have a chance to achieve re-election.
As things stand, Li Tie's case does not involve the CFL. For the Chinese Super League, although there are big problems, the task of the 2022 season has been successfully completed, and even the league has achieved a balance of income and expenditure. Perhaps in the eyes of his superiors, Chen Xuyuan has contributed to the reform of Chinese soccer.
Of course, whether Chen Xuyuan is fired or not, and whether he will be reelected or not, the task remains very heavy for the rest of his term. The national team should be ready for major tournaments and the new Chinese Super League season should be planned in advance. Therefore, with the CFA's upcoming important meeting, Chen Xuyuan should also plan for the development of Chinese soccer in the new season.
