In a day not long ago, Phoenix Watchtower released a weighty article acquaintances in the eyes of Li Tie, in-depth interviews with a number of characters who have had dealings with Li Tie, exposing their impression of Li Tie, and seeks to present the majority of fans with a true three-dimensional image of Li Tie. Today, the former Shenzhen team reporter Cheng Wenli also released a document, sharing her in-depth understanding of Li Tie. She describes Li Tie as a person who is both grounded and a bit naive, good at portraying himself as a victim. Even in an obviously unfair game, he has been known to tease his opponents in a staggering manner.
Cheng Wenli also told the story of two encounters with Shenzhen when Li Tie coached Wuhan Zall. Once was in the 2018 midterm First Division League, Wuhan Zall suffered a crushing defeat on the road. Li Tie, in the post-match conference, subtly satirized the problems in the game, implying that there was dishonorable behavior behind the Shenzhen team's victory and that the referee was biased against the Shenzhen team, which is a truly surprising statement for a coach. Another time was in the 2019 Chinese Super League when the two teams were questioned for match-fixing after a 4-4 goal-scoring thriller. Li Tie, despite the known problems with the game, made a sarcastic remark about Shenzhen Jinyuan soccer in the post-match conference, a move that made people feel uncomfortable. He wanted to maintain his face as well as his inner truth, but such behavior is really unacceptable. After Li Tie became the coach of the national soccer team, he shamelessly recommended himself to the Shenzhen team as the manager. At this time, the manager of the Shenzhen team is Ding Yong, known as the originator of the Chinese Super League match-fixing. The relationship between Ding Yong and Li Tie is complicated and well known to each other. However, Li Tie still wants to share the rights of Ding Yong, this mentality is puzzling. It can be said that Li Tie is a ruthless, thick-skinned and determined person. In the face of Li Tie's recommendation, Ding Yong decisively refused. He believes that a team can not accommodate two tigers, Li Tie into the Shenzhen management is impossible. During his time at Wuhan Zall, Li Tie cultivated many direct players and introduced many players through his own agency. And when he became the coach of the national soccer team, Wuhan Zall actually became Li Tie's remote control commander, foreign coaches do not have the right to manage, the Chinese coaching staff is actually controlled by Li Tie. From this point of view, Li Tie is really a talented person. He excels in psychology, business warfare and power competition. He became the coach of the national soccer team with only a 3 million bribe (Li Tie paid only 1 million) and obtained more than 50 million in bribes in three years. The move was a stroke of business genius. If Li Tie was just a soccer agent, he might have achieved great things. However, unfortunately, he didn't use his talents on the right path. In the end, he was imprisoned and faced the possibility of life imprisonment or even the death penalty.
