As the Chinese Super League enters the off-season, several teams have been implicated in the Li Tie incident, and some of their members have even left the team amidst the investigation. The Football Daily revealed that the league's working meeting will be held on January 15, when Chen Xuyuan, chairman of the Football Association, will appear, which is also a rare opportunity for him to make a public appearance recently.
Chen Xuyuan's updates don't stop there, there is also new news from the national team. Recently, Chen Xuyuan politely declined an interview with the media as he was leading the national management to investigate the national team with the media. According to domestic media reports, the CFA will be directly involved in the operation of the men's and women's national teams in the future.
This means that the CFA will directly grasp the direction of the development of the national team, which is undoubtedly the wind vane of the development of China's men's and women's national teams. In the face of the current CFA, Chen Xuyuan has once again become the focus of attention.
Many fans and media believed that Chen Xuyuan would have difficulty completing his five-year term, and there were even rumors that he might face an investigation. But as things stand now, the situation may be reversed after Chen Xuyuan's dismissal, and he may be able to complete his five-year term, and is even expected to be re-elected.
As of now, the Li Tie incident has not affected the CFL. Despite the many problems faced by the Chinese Super League, the 2022 season has been successfully completed, and the league has even achieved a break-even. Perhaps in the eyes of his superiors, Chen Xuyuan has contributed a lot to the reform of Chinese soccer.
Regardless of whether Chen Xuyuan is fired or reelected, the task for the remainder of his term remains daunting. The national team needs to get ready for major tournaments, and plans for the new Chinese Super League season need to be laid out in advance. Therefore, the CFA will hold an important meeting soon, and Chen Xuyuan should also start planning the development direction of Chinese soccer in the new season.
