January 20 - Recently, China's Disciplinary Inspection Committee released an announcement that former Chinese Football Association (CFA) Secretary General Liu Yi and Executive Deputy Secretary General Chen Yongliang, head of the National Team Management Department, are under review and investigation for serious violations of discipline and regulations. This news is like a thunderbolt, once again triggering an "earthquake" in Chinese soccer.
After the two executives were taken away, the work of the Football Association will be affected to a certain extent. The coach of the men's national soccer team has yet to be determined, and the situation of the league's salary arrears has not improved.
Media personality Li Xuan spoke on social media about the CFA's next priority: "First, the selection of the national soccer team. Second, clean up the league's unpaid wages. The third is to strictly enter the league, while formulating the punishment of some involved teams and related supplementary plans. Fourth, in the league as soon as possible to determine the opening time and schedule, to resume the home and away match system as a prerequisite. Fifth, self-correction for the initiative."
