At the beginning of this year, the Southeast Asian Championship came to an end, and finally Thailand became the big winner, pushing Vietnam to win the championship, which is the sixth time in the history of thai teams to touch the championship, and they are becoming an emerging force in Asian football that cannot be ignored. Competitive sports have winners and losers, and laos are the biggest losers in this Southeast Asian Cup, with 4 wins and 4 losses in the group stage, and 0 points at the bottom, comparable to Vietnam's ravaged situation in the round of 12.
At 11:00 p.m. Beijing time on January 12, Ma Dexing, a famous figure in Chinese football, broke out another fierce material, making Lao football once again the focus of external attention and also humiliating the Asian football circle. FIFA has officially issued a fine, for the Lao league to play match-fixing 45 players imposed a lifetime ban, in the future they will not be allowed to engage in any football-related career, such a large-scale and severe punishment is the highest in history, which also allows Lao football to be pushed to the cusp, the chaotic situation of professional football in the country has been fully revealed.
In an interview, kaoman, the secretary general of the Lao Football Association, could not hide his anger, saying bluntly that so many players blatantly played match-fixing, which is a blasphemy against the great sport of football, and this day will forever become a disgrace to Lao football. At the same time, he also stressed to the outside world that the Lao Football Association will never shield these players, they will be immediately removed from the Football Association and the clubs they belong to, and they need to be punished by the law, even after getting the punishment they deserve, there is no possibility of resumption in the future, in order to deter other players.
In fact, not only Lao football, in recent years, looking at the world, there are not a few countries and teams that play match-fixing, and artificial manipulation has made the original ups and downs of the football game an established performance script, many players have profited from it, but more innocent fans have lost everything. Speaking of this, we have to mention the Chinese Super League in 2011, when as many as 14 teams were recruited in the national counterfeiting storm of the Football Association, and many famous players were imprisoned and became labor prisoners who could no longer look up.
"Football News" is even more blunt to point out that in recent years, the incident of match-fixing in the Chinese Super League has also occurred from time to time, and there has never been a phenomenon that has stopped. Especially after the official implementation of the salary restriction, the enthusiasm of many teams and players for football has plummeted, and the huge psychological gap has made them start to go against their original intentions, so the probability of similar events such as playing match-fixing will be greater than ever. Such news can not help but feel sad for fans, and today's football games are also full of various elements of interest, making the original purity of football commercial.
Of course, FIFA has always been very strict about "fighting fakes and sweeping blacks", once it is discovered and verified, then the clubs involved and the players will be punished extremely severely, and it can be said that a lifetime of professional football dreams will end. As fans, we naturally can't speculate for no reason which club has a problem and which game looks particularly fake, but we still hope that no matter what level of game, the players on the field can finally decide the game, rather than off-field factors and conflicts of interest behind it to become the winners and losers of the game, I believe this is also the heartfelt hope of all footballers.
