The current state of Chinese soccer is worrying, as if plunged into an endless abyss. Since 2002, when it first stepped onto the World Cup stage, men's soccer has had few highlights in the past twenty years. Although the women's soccer team once jumped to become the dominant player in the Asian Cup, but after the glory is a sharp decline in performance. In the face of such a predicament, it seems to have to be punched hard.
In addition to the punishment of individuals suspected of violating the law, the majority of fans are equally concerned about the fate of the clubs involved. With the end of the Chinese Super League season, many teams may face different degrees of punishment. Will they be relegated with fewer points, or will their registrations be canceled? All this is to wait for the final decision of the Football Association.
For Chinese soccer, the only way to revitalize is to have the roots completely purified. Especially within the Football Association, which is the main battlefield of the fight against corruption in soccer. If the FA itself is unable to achieve cleanliness and honesty, how can the efforts of Chinese soccer begin? Nonetheless, I'm still looking forward to it. I hope that Song Kai's heavy-handed approach will yield substantial results.
