Ran Xiongfei, a media personality, revealed that the General Administration of Sport has been planning for a rainy day as Du Zhaocai is about to enter his retirement. Recently, Liu Guoyong, who originally served as deputy director, quietly took over Du Zhaocai's baton and became the new party secretary of the Football Association, leading the affairs of the Association, as if by fate. What's more interesting is that Liu Guoyong is also the party secretary of the basketball and volleyball associations.
Drawing on the deep lessons of the Chen Xuyuan incident, coupled with the internal corruption of the Association, the General Administration of Sport decisively sent paratroopers in charge of the affairs of the Association. This initiative is unexpected, but also in reason. Looking back at history, this kind of incident has long been commonplace.
In the face of this change, the FA vice-chairman Gao Hongbo and Sun Wen are afraid of mixed feelings. The possibility of future promotion to the leadership of the Association seems to have become unattainable, the State General Administration of Sports for the promotion of the middle leadership within the Association has always been cautious, and it is not yet known whether the leadership of other departments are safe and sound. The State General Administration of Sports Discipline Inspection Group has been stationed in the Football Association, to conduct a comprehensive review.
