[Bypassing the Football Association, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is leading the fight against gambling and blackmail]
Even the Football Association was kept in the dark, so who led this anti-gambling and anti-triad storm? The answer is the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection! According to media personality He Xiaolong, Li Tie was taken away by the Hubei Provincial Discipline Inspection. Former international player and Shenzhen soccer goalkeeper Zhang Lu was also captured by the Hubei people. Behind this anti-gambling and anti-mafia storm is the intervention of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Supervisory Committee.
Indeed, from last year until now, there have been occasional basic anti-gambling and anti-mafia cases in Chinese soccer, including the arrests of Dong Wensheng, the former chairman of Tianjin Teda FC, and Li Guangyi, the general manager, at the end of last year. At the end of August this year, Wang Dengfeng, a former vice-president of the Chinese Football Association (CFA) who participated in campus soccer, was arrested. These people have serious disciplinary violations, such as Big Fish Rome, which are only coordinated by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Supervisory Commission.
There is no doubt that the most embarrassing thing now is the Chinese Football Association (CFA) because they are responsible for the management of Chinese soccer. As a result, the administrators of the FA have brought in a lot of fake soccer and people who make black money. Now the FA is an ant on the hot pot. They cannot escape the suspicion of being accomplices. Even if they don't make black money like Li Tie, they have not committed any illegal or criminal acts. Many senior managers, including Chen Xuyuan, are always held accountable in their work.

Now the anti-gambling and anti-mafia storm has begun. It depends on how far the storm will go. Can the mess of Chinese soccer be redone? This is the question that everyone is concerned about. Judging from the various black materials after Li Tie's arrest, many sectors of Chinese soccer should be careful and reforms are bound to come!
The first is the soccer agent circle. The brokers in which Li Tie has a stake, especially those close to Li Tie, must be re-investigated.
The second is the circle of executives at various clubs. Whether it's a player deal or a relegation battle, some club executives are key orchestrators of match-fixing, and it's important to check these people.
The third is a Division III player. In the case of Li Tie's alleged multiple fakes, Li Tie has reportedly supplied three players, including Zhang Lu and one of his teammates, which will also need to be checked!
The fourth is some of the leaders of the Sports Bureau and the CFA. This group also needs to check whether they are involved in the offense. If not, they should also be held accountable for negligence.
The fifth is the referee circle. In recent seasons, some Chinese Super League referees have made calls that are hard to watch. Many fans complained about black whistles and official whistles. Today's referees also need to be straightened out.
The sixth is the Provincial Games soccer program.The most sensationally controversial matches in Chinese soccer in 2022 are the many Provincial Games soccer matches. Whether it's men's or women's soccer, some of the games look like fakes at first glance. Don't you check such games? How can you get along with young kids? What hope is there for Chinese soccer?
