Xie Yalong, once behind the halo of the vice-chairman of the Football Association, carries the heavy responsibility of China's soccer reform and the fervent expectations of fans. However, his greed and bribery during his reign hit his image to the bottom, and the credibility of soccer suffered a heavy blow. Under the severe punishment of the law, Xie Yalong spent a long time in prison. After his release, he changed his profession to medicine, attempting to use his medical skills to give back to society, but it was always difficult to erase the stain of the soccer world.
Shen Si and Qi Hong, two former heroes of the Chinese men's soccer team, helped the team reach the World Cup finals. However, late in their careers they became known for gambling scandals and their reputations were tarnished. After their release from prison, they devoted themselves to youth training and worked hard to develop new soccer stars. Despite this, their status in the soccer world has not been restored to its former glory.
The life trajectories of these footballers profoundly reveal that soccer is not only a contest of skills and tactics, but also a test of faith and morality. In the face of the temptation of money, honor and wealth, we must remain sober and uphold the purity and sanctity of soccer. At the same time, we should learn from their stories and strengthen the regulation and self-discipline in the soccer field to avoid the recurrence of similar incidents.
We must focus on the healthy development of soccer and improve the overall quality of players and coaches. Only in this way can we build a solid foundation for the rise of Chinese soccer, and make soccer really become a highly respected and loved sport. We firmly believe that under the firm leadership of the FA and the joint efforts of the whole society, Chinese soccer will usher in a more brilliant tomorrow.
