Chinese soccer continues to sweep the board amidst celebrity journalist Ran Xiongfei's revelations that the women's game at the 2021 National Games is in trouble.
We all know that China's women's soccer team performed abnormally at the Tokyo Olympics, and that's a fact that can't be ignored. After all, they lost 5-0 to Brazil, 8-2 to the Netherlands, and drew 4-4 with Zambia, the 104th ranked team in the world, which is far below the true level of the Chinese women's soccer team no matter which way you look at it. Fans who like to follow the Chinese women's soccer team know that there was a lot of controversy about the roster before the Olympics. Many core players were accidentally left out, which was a "human disaster" that caused this result.
According to Ran Xiongfei, then head coach Jia Xiuquan took the blame, mainly because of Du Zhaocai's "private use of public weapons" for the benefit of a small group. It was his black hand that arranged the strategy for the Games and affected the adjustment of personnel. After the Olympic loss, the Olympic team returned to China to win the Games. Ran Xiongfei revealed, "There was no obstacle to winning the title because it was an action laid out by Du Zhaocai to represent the leaders. When we meet the Olympic All Games team, we will be "polite"."
In other words, not only was the Olympic candidate interfered with, but also the National Games champion was not clean, and was a "courtesy" of other teams, naturally suspected of match-fixing. At the time, the United team beat Shanghai 1-0 in the final of the Games women's soccer. The distribution of gold medals after the match caused heated discussions, because after all, it was the United team. The allocation of gold medals was once controversial, but the official allocation criteria have not yet been clarified.
Overall, there has been and continues to be chaos in Chinese soccer. However, judging by Ran Xiongfei's comments, Jia Xiuquan may have suffered some wrongdoing, as he was the subject of a year-long accusation.
