Chen Xuyuan is under investigation, and at this point it is expected that many fans have waited too long.
In fact, many people only know that Li Tie has been taken away for investigation, followed by other FA leaders, agents, players involved, etc.
So how did this incident happen, why was Li Tie suddenly taken away, Chen Xuyuan is how serious disciplinary violations? Today I'll give you a head start to sort out the ideas and make clear the ins and outs of this matter.
This means that Chinese soccer will change dramatically, and the plot is like a wild ride, game within a game.
Let's review the timeline:
The outside world called Li Tie dismissal is "replace Luo Guofu" game. In the case of the national football team lead, he adjusted the magical strategy, and then the comment section completely overturned, Li Tie gradually "famous".
On November 28, 2021, there were rumors that Li Xiaopeng had taken over Li Tie's position and was close to stepping down. However, in the meantime, this news has not been confirmed, all due to the godly maneuvering of Li Tie's leadership.
On November 29, 2021, Li Tie's scandals came to light, including: while working as a national soccer coach, he also received a high salary from Wuhan Changjiang and interfered in the management of the club. As you know, Li Tie was paid as much as 30 million dollars during his time at Wuhan Changjiang. It was during this period that the media reported that Li Tie allegedly substituted international qualifications for benefits.
On November 30, 2021, media personality Li Xuan revealed that Li Tie had applied for resignation, and because he resigned of his own accord, the FA did not need to pay liquidated damages.
On December 3, 2021, Li became the coach of the men's national soccer team. When it came down to it, there was no question. It seemed like everything was expected, and there was nothing wrong with Li Tie leading the team to a poor performance and resigning voluntarily.
On December 6, 2021, Li Xiaopeng, who had not yet taken office, took the lead in formulating four iron rules: 1) no ganging up; 2) no discrimination and exclusion of naturalized players; 3) no mixing up of the national team, no mixing up of the curriculum vitae; and, do not be an enemy of the fans and the media, and be open-minded in accepting the opinions and suggestions of the outside world.
As the saying goes, a new official has three fires, and the four iron rules he issued seem to be knocking Li Tie from the side (which can be confirmed later).
On December 27, 2021, Eastern Sports Journal reported that many people were in trouble due to some personal behavioral issues with Li Tie, including some of the senior executives who supported him in the Football Association at the time. The matter is not over yet and although he was sacked, there are still many questions that have not been lifted during his tenure.
On November 12, 2022, the Internet rumor that Li Tie was taken away for investigation and is in the stage of losing contact, causing hot discussion among fans.
On November 26, 2022, the official confirmed the news that Li Tie was taken away for investigation due to disciplinary violations, but did not point out the specific news. However, according to relevant media sources, Li Tie was taken away because of a report from Wuhan Zhuoer (unclean player transactions).
Things are more interesting when they happen here. At this point, a lot of fans have been assuming that it's Li Tie's problem, but they don't realize that they're just a pawn and the real big fish isn't showing up.
Also, the official official announcement that he was taken was on the 26th, but he was actually taken on the 9th, when he was in training.
Since it has been reported, the Football Association must be investigated downwards, which has caused a big storm in the Chinese football world. Subsequently, Li Tie's relevant information was exposed. In addition to being the coach of the national soccer team, he is also related to nine enterprises, six of which hold shares, all of which are related to sports.
There are also a couple of interesting bits of news: Li Tie holds a 36% stake in the children's soccer education organization involved in the illegal bandwagon during the World Qualifiers. The captain of the national soccer team, who advertises sea cucumbers, is also a Li Tie connection, and these advertisements were arranged through Li Tie's connections.
Shortly after being investigated, it was discovered that he had only one bank with more than 100 million yuan in deposits. The fact that the national soccer coach and Wuhan Changjiang's management salaries fell far short of such pay scales, and that he had nine businesses, suggests that he had invested in them as well.
On November 27, 2022, He Xiaolong, a famous soccer journalist, revealed that Li Tie had raised a young player's salary to 6 million yuan and his company cut it by 3 million yuan. The fact that this incident went through this just shows many fans that Li Tie is making money really, really fast. It's like the episode in Soaring, when you have power, money naturally comes fast.
On December 1, 2022, a number of soccer media people revealed that Li Tie had confessed and exposed three international players, at which point former international goalkeeper Zhang Lu had been taken away for playing fake football.
On December 7, 2022, media personality Li Xuan wrote on Weibo, "The person I said was taken away for investigation last night was Zheng Bin." He plays an important role in Li Tie's team. His outstanding professional ability was loved by Li Tie.
In January 2023, Ding Yong, general manager of Shenzhen in the Chinese Super League, was taken away.
In February 2023, Chen Xuyuan was investigated, and Huaxia Happiness co-president Meng Shock was taken away.
At this point, we may be able to straighten out our thoughts: since Li Tie became the coach of the national football team, he may have gained a lot of benefits by utilizing the convenience of his position. In addition, he has a lot of helpers with good business skills around him. As for why they have been getting along so well for so many years, perhaps it is because there are people above them.
If Wuhan Zall hadn't reported it to him, the matter would have either gone away or dragged on until one day when the paper couldn't hold fire. But for Chinese soccer, it's best to find and root it out as early as possible.
As capital retreated and Li Tie demanded money from Wuhan Zall, the relationship between the two sides gradually deteriorated, causing a series of problems. In a survey of Chinese soccer over the past three months, it showed the darkness of domestic soccer.
Ten years ago, there was an anti-corruption crackdown that sent two top leaders to jail, but this crackdown seems to be more intense than before.
Due to the ease and communication of the internet, fans are very concerned about this story. If there are any grievances or issues, they will certainly be questioned. Under pressure and rhetoric, the Disciplinary Committee will investigate thoroughly and give the fans a fair statement.
So the story ends when Chen Xuyuan is investigated? Not necessarily so?...
Although he is the head of the FA and has a lot of power, let's not forget that he is parachuted into management and is not a professional. Communication in terms of contacts and within the FA may not be the most convincing.
As for why he started being investigated three months later, isn't it kind of like the episode where the higher-ups need to break out of the black spot the longer it takes?
Ten years ago, Xie Yalong, former director of the Football Administration Center and vice chairman of the Football Association, Nan Yong, former director of the Football Administration Center and vice chairman of the Football Association, and Wei Shaohui, former captain of the national soccer team, all went in. This time, it's hard to fully believe if the parachuted Chen Xuyuan has something so big behind him.
As it has been said, in the four years that Chen Xuyuan has been in office, he doesn't seem to have taken the perfect steps towards reform. Whether it's the naturalization mess or other strategies, Chinese soccer has not made progress, which is why fans are so angry now.
I remember when Chen Xuyuan took office, he was ambitious and his slogan was loud. "I sincerely warn all players that soccer is a noble sport, don't let money be tainted and distorted." Those words, too, were his, and he ended up going down the most annoying path of all.
Although Chen Xuyuan is facing investigation, it does not mean that the matter is over. The situation will escalate further if the aforementioned persons are investigated on the basis of his relevant leads.
At this stage, with the national soccer coach still to be determined and the next game already on the road, we can now say it's a dark time and no one knows how long it will last this time.
What fans are looking forward to is to solve the Li Tie incident as soon as possible and give us the truth. Who hurt Chinese soccer?
