Li Tie was investigated. The boots that have been hanging for about half a month have finally landed. Li Tie, the former coach of China's men's national soccer team, is suspected of serious violations of the law and is currently under investigation by the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Group of the Central Sports General Administration and the Hubei Provincial Supervision Committee, the Hubei Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision reported on Nov. 26 on its website.

The World Cup is currently in full swing, Li Tie's name appeared in the World Cup news in many message areas. Netizens flirting, irony, "hate iron is not steel" also have. Of course, this sentiment not only applies to Li Tie, but also spreads the reflection on Chinese soccer. On the one hand, there is the excitement of a world soccer tournament, and on the other hand, there is the excitement of a former head coach of the national soccer team. The collision of these two kinds of excitement directly hit people's hearts.
In contrast, people's excitement is the exact opposite of ours. We should learn from our pain and make up our minds to eliminate all the ills that hinder the development of Chinese soccer. Especially in the ongoing World Cup, Saudi Arabia, Japan and Iran and other Asian soccer not only played a wonderful game, achieved excellent results, but also played the spirit of hard-working soccer, time and time again to make a breakthrough "no Asian soccer" This is enough to prove the previous fallacy.
In fact, modern soccer needs business to provide water for life in order to maintain normal operation and sustained prosperity, but it must not go to the other extreme: business has become the protagonist and soccer has become a pure money-making tool. For the vast majority of soccer spectators, soccer is a hobby, a life. As a vehicle for soccer, it should be fair and transparent, rather than operating in a dark box and becoming a profit-making machine for some people.
In fact, it is not difficult to find clues that Li Tie is being investigated this time. Previously, Li Tie was exposed during his tenure as head coach of the national soccer team, and he also traded Wuhan Zall and had a salary dispute. "Counter-criticism" controversial comments out of the circle, Li Tie quickly updated social media platforms, with pictures implanted in a number of commercial brands. What's more surprising is that two of the poster P lost the national soccer team sponsor logo, national soccer sponsor competition brand logo.
Needless to say, Li Tie can be called a master, has a very sharp business acumen and media awareness, but this wisdom does not seem to be used correctly. Rome wasn't built in a day. When a person does not care much about his own name, but just blindly pursue profits, it is easy to unknowingly break through the bottom line and fall into the abyss.
It should be noted that corruption in soccer is not just an economic issue. It not only destroys the rules of the market, and it not only destroys business ethics. The deeper wound is that it destroys the ecology of Chinese soccer development. According to the previous soccer exposure "control players and games" for example, is likely to lead to incompetent people vegetarian, talented people buried loss. The "total account", not so easy to calculate clearly, but also the fall of the horse can not make up for.
Of course, corruption in soccer is essentially a lack of effective monitoring of power. An industry has an industry circle, and it is not easy for the outside world to see the internal twists and turns, but can the business operations of soccer be presented to the public more through the establishment of clearer rules and more transparent mechanisms, or at least allow fans to become an important force in monitoring and reporting?
Watching the anglers, they envy the fish. Li Tie's hot search interspersed in the World Cup fever, but also ignited the public's expectations. I hope Li Tie's investigation is a distant record of the World Cup "shot". 1.4 billion people look forward to that moment, we all know that the road is long, but only down-to-earth, clean and clear, we can stand in the forest of the world soccer.
