The World Cup in Qatar is going goal crazy and our Chinese men's soccer team has once again reached an extraordinary moment! Li Tie was taken away from a coaching course in Dalian. Something big happened to Li Tie and then Li Tie's bronze statue outside the Wulihe Stadium in Shenyang was removed.
According to media reports, Li Tie's case is not as simple as it seems. Li Tie has more than 100 million yuan in a bank in Shenyang alone and has purchased a luxury home in the United States, which is only a part of his property. Whether in the club or in the national team, Li Tie does not take soccer as his life's occupation, but in the field of Chinese soccer, he has entered the cold winter "business" in the coaching training courses, do not forget to sell jujubes and tea, and constantly challenge the bottom line of Chinese soccer, ignoring the feelings of Chinese fans.
First, the annual salary of 30 million dollars to become China's local first coach
Li Tie looks honest and down-to-earth, but in fact, he tends to be submissive and refined in all aspects. Li Tie is very popular in the strange city of Wuhan, which is enough to prove that he has a high emotional intelligence.In November 2017, Li Tie officially became the head coach of Wuhan Zall FC. Before that, Li Tie was already the general manager and sports director of the club.
After becoming the club's head coach, Li Tie can be considered a truly powerful figure at Wuhan Zall FC. Even if the club's general manager is the team's head coach, this is rare in the history of Chinese soccer. In a few more years, I believe Li Tie can put Wuhan FC in the air.
Li Tie signed a five-year contract with the Wuhan club, with an annual salary of 30 million yuan after tax and a signing bonus of 30 million yuan, payable over five years. Li Tie became the highest paid local manager in the history of the Chinese Super League in terms of annual salary. However, such a contract could not be filed with the CFA and could only be operated privately. Later, Li Tie and the Wuhan club turned the other cheek. During his tenure as head coach of the national team, they also asked the relevant leaders of the CFA to put pressure on the Wuhan club to help claim their salaries.
Second, send players under contract to their companies to the national team and suppress playing time for naturalized players
This issue was mentioned in a previous article that Li Tie was associated with nine companies covering a very wide range of business. Among them, he has close ties with an agency that privately signs contracts with the players concerned and sends them to the national team. Li Tie took this business to the extreme. A powerful player could not make the national team because he refused to sign a contract with the brokerage firm.
In 2018, the CFA's proposed naturalization policy was questioned. The CFA resisted the great pressure and allowed foreigners such as Exxon, Luo Guofu and Allen to enter Chinese men's soccer. Through this policy, Chinese soccer can achieve success in a short period of time, enter the Qatar World Cup, and stimulate the Chinese soccer market in the doldrums.
However, this policy was played "badly" by then manager Li Tie, who only gave chances to players who were interested in him due to the lack of financial ties between the naturalized players and Li Tie, resulting in a lot of comments from Luo Guofu and Allen, who barely got any playing time. Ackerson later revealed that Li Tie hinted in the dressing room that the naturalized players would not get much playing time.
What Li Tie is doing is making fun of the future of Chinese soccer, taking the expectations of Chinese fans seriously and allowing the Chinese men's soccer team to once again dream of the past 12 games, which is a purely self-destructive future. Desperation for personal gain is worth it.
Third, the private bandwagon has disgraced Chinese soccer
As the Chinese men's soccer team did their best in the last three matches of the top 40 of the world qualifiers and barely made it into the top 12, Li Tie started to get a little flustered. At the press conference for the top 12 loss to Australia, Li Tie spent nearly half an hour rebutting and questioning his voice and said, "No one knows Chinese soccer and national soccer players better than I do." Then he sang a bitter tune about how hard it was for the entire national soccer team to be in West Asia for a long time without being able to go home, and how abused they were by Chinese fans.
The most unacceptable thing for fans is that Li Tie has not forgotten to post advertisements on his personal microblogging site during the Top 12 national football matches. "Nine Palace" China promotes sports brands, beverages and tea. These advertising brands competed with Chinese men's soccer sponsors. Later, these sponsors sued Li Tie to the Chinese Football Association (CFA) because Li Tie will lead his team to the World Cup qualifiers, so the matter finally ended.
IV. Concluding remarks
After serving as the head coach of the national team, Li Tie really forgot himself. At this time, Li Tie has completely become a businessman. He has long forgotten the interests of Chinese soccer. All he thinks about is his own "big business". Because of Li Tie's selfishness, the Chinese men's soccer team missed the World Cup again and completely lost the face of Chinese soccer.
Li Tie being taken away is just the beginning. Former national soccer team goalkeeper Zhang Lu was also called to tea. It is said that Li Jinyu, Li Weifeng, Hao Wei and other soccer leaders are involved, so that a new round of "football storm" to come more violent, Chinese soccer needs clean land!
