Recently, an anti-corruption storm has been unleashed in the Chinese soccer sector, with gambling issues also becoming a focus. Behind this campaign stems from clear instructions given by the Director General of the State General Administration of Sport at an official meeting.
Instruction 1: Resolutely and thoroughly investigate corruption in the field of sports, especially in the field of soccer, and do not tolerate it. At the same time, the problem of fake gambling and blackmail in the field of soccer should be seriously pursued and should not be ignored. In this context, the official investigation team acted quickly, and recently captured many "big fish". It is reported that the Chinese Super League Shanghai Shenhua and Taishan teams have a number of players involved in the case, including Jin Jingdao, including five people were taken away, a retired celebrity also mysteriously disappeared.
The chain of events shocked many fans as the investigation progressed. But just recently, two heavyweight materials broke out on social media, revealing even more inside information. The gambling case is said to involve a large number of active players in the Chinese Super League, estimated to be more than 10, far more than the previous five or six.
Media personality Zhao Zhen revealed on social media, "Today, there are still many active players in the Chinese Super League who have been taken away for investigation, and this gambling case will be resolved once and for all." His words hinted at more players being involved in the case, and the number could be much higher than expected. Interestingly, as players are arrested, if they confess internally one by one, it is expected that a lot of team executives will also be involved, so let's wait and see what happens.
In addition, Li Xuan, the director of the soccer newspaper, also revealed news of corruption related to Chen Xuyuan's son. Previously, Li Xuan had hinted that Chen Xuyuan's son was suspected of corruption and could not escape. Recently, he made it clear in a fan commentary that Chen Xuyuan's son was involved in a huge amount of signing corruption, and if convicted, he could face more serious charges than the likes of Li Tie, and it could even affect his future career.
All in all, since March, there has been a steady stream of good news in the soccer sector, and the fight against corruption has achieved remarkable results. We expect the official investigation team to continue to dig deeper and root out the cancer of gambling and corruption once and for all.
