Since November last year, China's soccer industry has entered the fifth month of anti-corruption and anti-triad action. The first to bear the brunt of the former national soccer team manager Li Tie, the amount of money involved in the case, jaw-dropping. His deposits in a bank in Shenyang amounted to hundreds of millions of dollars, and he even purchased a mansion in California, allowing his family to live in luxury. Long Fei, Li Tie's wife, was revealed to have refused to return the 270 million dollars of illegal gains, the truth is not clear. After the arrest of Li Tie, the top management of the Football Association, Chen Yongliang, Liu Yi, Chen Xuyuan, etc. have also been caught in the whirlpool.
Chen Xuyuan was arrested on February 14, more than a month ago. As the chairman of the Football Association, he hindered the development of soccer due to his personal interests. Chen Xuyuan still needs to explain where the huge $1.7 billion in Chinese Super League money went. During his three-and-a-half-year tenure as FA chairman, nearly 40 clubs were dissolved, including many well-known teams in the Chinese Super League. With Chen Xuyuan in the net, Chinese soccer is also in disarray, and the future of the Chinese Super League is in jeopardy.
Shenzhen foreign aid Caldecott revealed that the Shenzhen team may face dissolution for reasons including over 200 million in unpaid wages and key players being investigated. At present, the team is unmanaged, the players are on vacation, the dissolution rumors do not seem to be empty.
Meanwhile, Guangzhou, the 8-time champion of the Chinese Super League, is facing a dissolution crisis. Li Pingkang reports that the Guangzhou team is counting down to its dissolution, and the former soccer giant may become history. The team has no training, players are on vacation, and the situation is grim.
The truth about Guangzhou's disbandment has surfaced, and the possibility of an exit from the Chinese Super League is real, according to the Tonight Newspaper. Guangzhou team has won the Asian Championship twice, but now it is in a difficult situation due to huge debts and naturalized players quit. Zheng Zhi is a rare player and coach. Guangzhou's plight stems mainly from the damage Chen Xuyuan has done to the Chinese Super League. His dictatorial approach has led to numerous clubs struggling to survive and dropping out of the professional league. Chen Xuyuan's insistence on using Li Tie exacerbated the problem.
