Chen Xuyuan has been arrested for more than two months, although he is not the core figure of the anti-corruption storm in the soccer world, but because of four years in the Football Association, and served as chairman of Shanghai SIPG, its influence should not be underestimated.
Chan was initially expected to have a very different experience from that of a traditional FA chairman: starting out as a dockworker in Hong Kong and eventually becoming the chairman of a Hong Kong club. His strength and vision during his time in Hong Kong were widely recognized, both in terms of signings and club operations.
Chen Xuyuan has been working in the club for many years, he should have insight into the shortcomings of the league, but after he took office, Chinese soccer has not improved, but on the contrary, there is a downward trend. Both the league and the national team are performing badly, and the problems of salary arrears, gambling and blackmail continue. Chen Xuyuan's fall from grace is regrettable for those who had high hopes for him.
Liu Jianhong, a former CCTV talk show host, has made a suggestion to Chen Xuyuan: integrate the team of the Football Association, train new people, avoid excessive contact with the national team, and focus on youth training and soccer system construction. But Chen Xuyuan did not seem to pay attention to the youth training work to Gao Hongbo, they are busy with the national football affairs, and even follow the national team to go to the qualifying rounds.
During the qualifiers, Chen Xuyuan was praised by some journalists for his bravery and perseverance, but in fact, he did not seem to play his proper role, but rather played cards, did lap dances within the national team, and had excessively close contact with Du Zhaocai. The performance of the national team leaves one to wonder.
Now that Chen Xuyuan is behind bars, his crimes will be revealed one by one. His son has also been arrested, and not only has his soccer career been damaged, but his family has also suffered badly. He is about to face the law. What do you think about this? Feel free to leave a message in the comments section.
