Chinese men's soccer in recent years, instead of seeing improvement, but suffered a precipitous fall.
In the past, the national football team in the Asian soccer map proudly, only with Japan, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Iran and a few other countries equal strength, the gap is not obvious.
However, to date, the competitiveness of the national football team has been reduced to the second or third rate in Asia, and the gap with Japan and South Korea is widening.
According to the national football team's past position in Asia, after the expansion of the World Cup, we should logically occupy a place. However, now that Asia is ranked only 13th, there is no way that 13 places will be set aside for Asia in the World Cup allocation.
Fantino knows the national soccer team thoroughly. Usually, as the president of FIFA, more incentives are used. However, this time, the sharpness of his criticism is spot on.
Whenever we witness the rapid decline of Chinese soccer in recent years, those moths that erode Chinese soccer will surface.
Over the past year or two, the relevant authorities have conducted a thorough purge of corruption and fraud in Chinese soccer.
Du Zhaocai, Chen Xuyuan, Li Yuyi, Yu Hongchen and other former heads of the soccer sector have dragged Chinese soccer into the abyss for their own selfish interests.
Today, most of these culprits have been duly punished, but the road to recovery for Chinese soccer remains long.
Li Tie, the special person who was taken away for investigation.
Although the level of soccer is not as good as Chen Xuyuan and others, but the harm it brings and the degree of corruption is more serious. As the head coach of the national team, he acted arbitrarily, the amount of money involved is easily more than 100 million, can be said to be the main culprit of the national football "pain".
Today, seven months have passed since the first trial of Li Tie. According to the regulations, the first trial should be concluded within three months, with a maximum of six months. If the case is serious, it needs to be reviewed by the highest authorities. At present, Li Tie's case has lasted for more than 6 months, and the possibility of facing the death penalty or death reprieve is extremely high, which, to a certain extent, can be said to be widely expected.
