After Li Tie left the class, the Football Association was tragically seized power, and after Chen Shuyuan's team was defeated, it seemed to have entered the countdown to leave. In this case, who will become Chen Shuyuan's successor, eye-catching, but Fan Zhiyi, who has a high voice in the folk, is doomed to have no chance, and Gao Hongbo, who is also a disciple of Xu Genbao, has a far greater chance than him.
A very important reason why Chen Shuyuan has done a bad job in the Football Association is that he is considered to not understand football and is not a professional. In the deployment of the General Bureau, most of the leaders of each center are representatives of outstanding athletes or coaches, such as Liu Guoliang of the Table Tennis Association, Yao Ming of the Basketball Association, etc. Since Chen Shuyuan, a layman, has a very poor performance, should he be replaced by more professional people?
As a result, many people think of Fan Zhiyi, the best player in Chinese football at that time, the Asian footballer who once looked like England and Sars, the hot-tempered and blunt Fan Zhiyi, if he represents Chinese football, it seems logical. But the problem is that in the past few years, Fan Zhiyi has won many opportunities to serve the country, but he has always been unsuccessful and difficult to reuse: in 2018, Gou Zhongwen, director of the General Administration of Sports, was deeply impressed by Fan Zhiyi's speech at a symposium in Shanghai, when the outside world rumored that Fan Zhiyi was going to be reused, but in the end, the matter was not resolved; in 2020, Fan Zhiyi became the vice chairman of the Shanghai Football Association, and then in the change of the Shanghai Football Association, Zhu Guanghu retired, and Fan Zhiyi was considered a popular candidate for succession. But in the end, it was another football star Liu Haiguang who was elected... To this day, Fan Zhiyi still has not been given the opportunity to work in the Chinese Football Association, so if he wants to directly become the head of the Football Association, there is no possibility.
In fact, for Fan Zhiyi's rare reuse, his mentor Xu Genbao has long seen the problem. Last year, Xu Genbao publicly called out to Fan Zhiyi, asking him to put down the online live broadcast first and concentrate on football. But Fan Zhiyi believes that he is also promoting Chinese football as an anchor, so he did not pay attention to it, but went farther and farther on the road of being an Internet celebrity: not only did the live broadcast become a hot topic for everyone, but also went to the variety show spit conference, and it was praised, which was considered to be "a strong sense of variety", Fan Zhiyi has gradually moved away from the football circle and went to the literary and art circle.
Therefore, don't look at Fan Zhiyi's high prestige in the minds of fans, but he can't stand the lonely personality, all kinds of out-of-the-air words are said to the outside, it is difficult to concentrate on football in a down-to-earth manner, and there has been no successful experience of coaching until now, which is why the Chinese Football Association and even the General Administration of Sports dare not reuse him. Chen Shuyuan from Shanghai previously served as the head of the Football Association, and he and Fan Zhiyi had a lot of intersection in Shanghai football, but he preferred to believe Zhu Guanghu's opinion rather than Fan Zhiyi.
In stark contrast, Gao Hongbo, another disciple of Xu Genbao, has been practicing football in a down-to-earth manner, and after coming down from the position of national football coach, he has not left the football circle, followed Chen Shuyuan to the Football Association, and is now the vice chairman in charge of youth training. Although he has become somewhat obscure, Gao Hongbo has always worked steadily, does not like to be in the limelight, never accepts interviews, and focuses on football. Therefore, if Chen Shuyuan leaves office this time, Gao Hongbo has become the biggest hit, that is to say, if the higher level wants to select a Liu Guoliang-style figure for the Football Association, it is not Fan Zhiyi, it is Gao Hongbo. It can be said that character is destiny, and even if Fan Zhiyi's popularity is high, it is difficult to get the opportunity to become a senior executive of the Football Association.
