In the wave of anti-corruption in soccer, another bombshell has detonated - Yu Hongchen, the former vice president of the Football Association and now director of the Athletic Management Center, has been captured. Given the scandal-ridden nature of successive FA officials, many fans may have been fuzzy on Hongchen's involvement in the misconduct. However, his blistering attack on the general manager of Shandong Luneng is still engraved in people's minds.
Back in 2010, Yu Hongchen stepped into the door of the Football Association (FA), when the FA chairman Cai Zhenhua favored him. 2012, Yu Hongchen was promoted to vice-chairman, although the vice position, but hidden behind the FA manipulator's name. If you turn the clock back to 2011, when Shandong Luneng and Tianjin Kangshifu were in the midst of a fierce battle, referee Ma Ning's controversial penalty triggered Luneng's dissatisfaction. General manager Han Gongzheng stood up to the FA and demanded an explanation, but was not expected to be scolded by Yu Hongchen: "If you can't take it, then leave the field."
Guangzhou Evergrande also suffered a lot from Yu Hongchen, when Evergrande was just promoted to the Chinese Super League, it suffered from the unfair judgment of Yu Hongchen. In the match with Liaozhu, Evergrande also suffered from many unfairness, the referee is still Ma Ning. After the match, Evergrande appealed to no avail, and Yu Hongchen made it clear that the appeal was invalid. With the passage of time, Evergrande gradually learned how to adapt, coupled with the team's outstanding performance, became the FA's "pro son". At that time, the seven foreign aid policy implemented by Evergrande was a moment of great popularity, which is called the exclusive Evergrande.
Yu Hongchen's arrest fully demonstrates the determination of soccer to fight corruption. Not only are the current problems being uncovered one by one, but the historical problems are also not escaping the net of justice. Numerous officials of the Football Association may be at home at the moment, jumping with fear and trembling. Because, the illegal things will eventually be exposed, waiting for them will be the severe punishment of the law. As the People's Daily said, trace the root of the problem, will be investigated to the end, and finally for the Chinese soccer also a clean slate.
