Recently, the CCTV broadcast of a feature film on continuous efforts and in-depth advancement has caused an uproar, especially the fourth episode on corruption within the national soccer team, which has caused a strong reaction. However, as the documentary as a whole is not primarily about the national soccer team, the problems mentioned so far are just the tip of the iceberg, and many things have yet to be fully exposed.
For example, CHEN Xuyuan said that the day before he was elected as the Chairman of Xianghe in Hebei, two staff members of the local football association gave him RMB 600,000 yuan and told him to take care of himself. So who were these two local FA staff members? Is this related to the Hebei FA? How did Chen Xuyuan take care of them after receiving the money?
When they give away money, they also say, "It's an old rule, we all do it." So when did this old rule start? "We're all like this." Who's like that? I'm sure a definitive explanation will follow for the fans.
In addition, there are many details that are not explicitly stated in the documentary. It's interesting to think about it. For example, Li Tie said that in order to be elected as the head coach of the national soccer team, he asked the Wuhan team to help him come up with 2 million yuan to bribe Chen Xuyuan, the former chairman of the Football Association. Then Li Tie also paid 1 million yuan to bribe Liu Yi, the former secretary general of the FA.
Since Li Tie even has Liu Yi, the secretary general of the FA, in place, why didn't he give the money to Du Zhaocai, the former deputy director of the General Administration of Sport and vice president of the FA? You know, Du Zhaocai was the second leader of the FA at that time!
Some media sources revealed that Li Tie had recognized Du Zhaocai as his godfather before that! When Li Tie bribed Chen Xuyuan, Liu Yi and others, he first found Du Zhaocai and then decided to send money to Chen Xuyuan.
Du Zhaocai was born in 1960 and Li Tie was born in 1977. It can be said that he is the son of a man 17 years older than himself. But it must have been difficult to maintain this relationship alone. I wonder what other bribes Li Tie offered Du Zhaocai besides money?
From some of the lines in the documentary, we can also see that the roots of corruption in the national soccer team are very deep and wide-ranging. If we investigate carefully, most people may be affected. For example, Li Tie has twice led his team from the Chinese First Division to the Chinese Super League. The documentary makes it clear that "most of it is match-fixing". How many clubs, staff, and players collaborated with Li Tie in the match-fixing? Thus, perhaps very few teams in the entire Chinese Super League are clean?
Since we want to check, we should check to the end. All assholes should not be tolerated. Anyway, that's how Chinese soccer is now. Is there any difference? If you just pushed it all the way back and started over, it probably wouldn't be any worse than before, would it?
