Chen Xuyuan, the president of the Chinese Football Association (CFA), is suspected of serious disciplinary violations and is currently under investigation. As the helmsman of Chinese soccer for nearly three and a half years, Chen Xuyuan has long been subject to great controversy and criticism. Many policies have brought huge blows and losses to Chinese soccer. Chinese soccer has also fallen to its lowest point at the speed of a vertical drop, and the five "crimes" have really hurt Chinese soccer!
First, Chen Xuyuan promoted public interest soccer and neutral names. Although the neutral name policy is already an advanced practice that the Football Association wants to emulate for mature leagues in other countries, Chen Xuyuan's presidency of the Football Association and his forced withdrawal from the neutral name policy in the face of the epidemic and the context of China's professional leagues still led to opposition and suspicion from the outside world, and in the long run, the neutral name brought an irreversible blow to the Chinese Super League, with 35 professional music divisions choosing to disband during Chen Xuyuan's term of office Withdrawal!
The second is to sacrifice the league to support Li Tie. Chen Xuyuan served as chairman of the Football Association, eager to make quick profits, put the cart before the horse. After Li Tie became the head coach of the national football team, Chen Xuyuan chose to sacrifice the already precarious Chinese Super League many times and chose to let Li Tie advance for a long period of closed training. In the end, not only was the performance of the national soccer team not guaranteed, but the interests of the league also suffered huge losses!
Thirdly, the expansion was forced despite the epidemic and the economic situation. At the beginning of Chen Xuyuan's tenure, there were calls for expansion due to the fiery development of the Chinese Super League. But before last season, the Chinese Super League was greatly affected by the epidemic, and the economic situation of the league's investors was generally worrying. Chen Xuyuan chose to force the expansion to 18 teams a year earlier. Now, many teams in the Chinese Super League are facing dissolution crises, making it difficult to maintain the 18-team status. The FA may downsize after one year of expansion, once again making jokes about Chinese soccer!
Fourthly, the signing adjustment fee policy has been controversial and Harbour has benefited from it many times. Chen Xuyuan came from the Chinese Super League Shanghai Harbor to the Football Association and became the leader of Chinese soccer. Not only did he not avoid any risks, but the neutral name of Shanghai Harbor has been changed to Shanghai Port. When other teams paid huge adjustment fees, Seaport didn't pay adjustment fees such as Anatovic's, which caused unfair questions from the outside world!
Fifthly, frequent restrictions on wages and investment, and restrictions on foreign aid. Chen Xuyuan served as chairman of the Football Association for three and a half years, repeatedly introduced wage restrictions, frequent changes in policy, foreign aid, naturalized players, foreign aid wage restrictions are too strict, resulting in the loss of vitality of the league, the country's soccer naturalization investment greatly damaged.
It must be said that Chen Xuyuan officially took office less than 1300 days. These five "crimes" have indeed brought unprecedented lows and losses to Chinese soccer. With the voices of the outside world and the wait for Chen Xuyuan to be investigated, we finally see a ray of light in the darkness (Lao Qiu's Chinese Super League commentary).
