The arrests of soccer heavyweights such as Li Tie, Chen Yongliang and Chen Xuyuan mark a key step in the fight against corruption in domestic soccer. However, for the majority of fans, this is not enough. We are eager to see the brilliant achievements of the national soccer team, not the power struggles behind the soccer association. While gossip is exciting, it can become boring when over-consumed. Many people have limited knowledge of the anti-corruption events of 13 years ago, when the internet was not yet widespread and information dissemination was relatively closed. However, times are different nowadays, and to keep up to date with the latest developments, all you need to do is tap on the internet.
It was this influx of real-time information that sparked widespread public concern. The Football Association and the State General Administration of Sports are under tremendous pressure. After Chen Xuyuan was investigated, the People's Daily made it clear that no matter who was involved, it would be investigated to the end. This shows our firm determination to fight corruption and won the support of many fans. Li Tie, who holds two jobs, one as coach of the national soccer team and the other a high-paying job at Wuhan Changjiang, was refused despite Chen Xuyuan's advice to refund his fees.
Wuhan Changjiang's contract with Li Tie became the trigger for the fight against corruption in domestic soccer. Chen Xuyuan was taken away for investigation, marking a stalemate in domestic soccer. At this critical moment, we are not going to sit back and wait for the results of our preparations and matches. The FA acted swiftly to adjust domestic soccer personnel appointments.
According to the latest news, the CFA is now chaired by Party Secretary Du Zhaocai. Du Zhaocai was urgently reassigned after the sudden departure of Chen Xuyuan brought many matters to a standstill. Two days ago, an online video showed Du Zhaocai being detained for investigation, but then media people came out to dispel rumors that he was still in Beijing. It is worth mentioning that Du Zhaocai played an important role in the process of Chen Xuyuan and Li Tie's appointment. As to whether he is suspected of problems, the official has not yet announced.
However, from the high-level investigation methods, Du Zhaocai may face a secret investigation, once there is a problem, there will be no escape. From Li Tie to Chen Xuyuan, more than two months of investigation interval, showing the depth of Chen Xuyuan's disguise. Fans are worried about the future of Du Zhaocai, after all, the rise of the national football team is not his strength alone.
In addition, numerous clubs have defaulted on wages due to broken financial chains, and athletes are demoralized. The national soccer team is at a low point, and this situation cannot be reversed by one person's power. Only by thoroughly resolving the Li Tie incident and revealing the truth can the national soccer team make a fresh start and rise gradually!
