In the chronology of December 6, 2021, the news about CFA President Chen Xuyuan stepping down from his post has been quietly circulating in soccer circles like a winter rumor.
Just as the new national football head coach Li Xiaopeng took office, he officially before the new, but chose to go directly to the capital and the higher management institutions to carry out in-depth exchanges, this unusual move, so that the rumors about Chen Xuyuan seems to have more corroboration. Ma Dexing explained that: "Chen Xuyuan had intended to go to Beijing immediately after returning to China to meet with the leaders of the management to discuss the handling of the program, but the segregation policy made it necessary for him to postpone. However, Li Tie's subsequent comments were like a bomb, provoking the attention of the senior management and urging the relevant departments to quickly submit their views on the treatment. Under this pressure, the relevant departments can no longer delay, so directly summoned Li Xiaopeng to take over the heavy responsibility of the national football team.
In order to the development of national football, the General Administration of Sport and the Chinese Football Association (CFA) joined hands to form a joint working group, led by the General Administration of Sport as the head of the group, while the President of the CFA, Chen Xuyuan, has become one of the deputy head of the group, to shoulder the heavy responsibility of promoting the advancement of the national football team.
