Recently, the soccer world has been in a state of flux, with Li Tie, Chen Xuyuan and other soccer executives being investigated one after another, a series of events that have left many fans with mixed feelings. On the one hand, the decisive action of the official makes the fans feel excited; on the other hand, they are looking forward to more similar actions in the future, to bring to justice those "pests" that erode the ecology of the soccer, and to return a clear sky to Chinese soccer.
It was in this anticipation that March 2023 brought a series of happy news. A firm official stance and the hope of soccer returning to the blue skies intertwined to give fans confidence in the future.
First, in the concerning case of Chen Xuyuan's son's alleged failed run, media reporter Li Xuan made it clear that his son could not escape the law, hinting at the seriousness of the incident and also indicating that officials have turned their attention to his son. Chen Xuyuan's and Li Tie's crimes have gradually surfaced, and they could face more serious legal consequences as more issues are revealed.
In addition, Chen Xuyuan has made a breakthrough in the investigation of match-fixing. It is reported that five Chinese Super League (CSL) players have been taken away for investigation, including Jin Jingdao, who captained the national youth team and was selected for the national team. Although Jin Jingdao has a good reputation with Shandong Taishan, according to media reports, he is not only suspected of gambling on match-fixing, but may also be the head of a gambling ring responsible for distributing gambling money. This news has caused many fans to become skeptical of the former soccer star and begin to re-examine the issue of corruption among Chinese Super League players and the Chinese soccer world as a whole.
The State General Administration of Sport has made it clear that it will crack down on fake gambling and corruption. I believe that under the strict crackdown by the State General Administration of Sport, those with problems will have nowhere to hide. With the deepening of the investigation, the chain of interests behind will also be gradually uncovered. By then, fans will witness Chinese soccer heading towards a clear tomorrow.
