August 12 news, recently, the former international Qi Hong appeared in a youth tournament, two sideburns white, obviously blessed, only 43 years old but already like a fifty or sixty-year-old man, can't help but sigh, this is still the sunshine handsome man on the football field that year?
Qi Hong
Qi Hong became famous at a young age, and at the age of 19, he became the main force of the Shanghai Shenhua team to win the A-League championship, and was called the "Three Musketeers" together with Fan Zhiyi and Xie Hui. He is not physically strong but has a lot of spirit in playing football, and is very threatening with set-pieces, long-range shots and headers, and is known as the "Chinese Totti". He was a striking interior striker during xu genbao's time, a midfield barrier defender during Peter's tenure, and an attacking organizer in the Milu national team, but also a premier "shadow striker".
In 1998, Qi Hong was first selected for the national team, and after Milu coached the national football team, Qi Hong gradually became the main forward and shadow striker of the national team. The 2001 Top 10 was the highlight of Qi Hong's career, scoring three goals worth thousands of gold to help China reach the World Cup finals in historic form.
In 2007, Qi Hong announced his retirement due to injury. After retiring from the army, Qi Hong engaged in youth football training with his friend Shen Si and founded a youth football club. In 2010, Qi Hong, then an assistant coach of the Chinese women's football team, was involved in a "match-fixing incident" with his old friend Shen Si and was taken away for investigation, when unsuspecting women's football players were still looking for Qi Hong's whereabouts. In 2012, Qi Hong was found to have accepted bribes to kick match-fixing and sentenced to 5 years and 6 months in prison for "bribery of non-state workers" in the first instance.
In 2012, he was sentenced to 5 years and 6 months in prison for "bribery of non-state workers" in the first instance.
After several years of living on a high wall, Qi Hong received a commutation of his sentence because of his good performance in prison, and on September 2, 2016, Qi Hong was finally released from prison. A reporter took a group photo with Qi Hong after his release from prison, and after his release, Qi Hong was very emaciated, his face was pale, and his figure was obviously different from before he was imprisoned.
After his release from prison, Qi Hong returned to his former grassroots club as a director and technical director. Today, his sideburns are white, and his face is much bloated, not at all like a middle-aged man who has just turned 40.
Perhaps because of the restart of some of the coaching work of the football club, the wind and the sun have also made this once beautiful man grow older.
Seeing Qi Hong's latest image, netizens all said, "Oh my God, they are all old like this" "In fact, when they first came out, they were not old, and they appeared with Shen Si and took photos, it seems that they really did things with their hearts" "Qi Qin" What is this program? What do you say today? "How did it look like this?" "Qi Hong? Mommy!"
However, some media have questioned Qi Hong's return to the football circle in violation of the "ban", Guangzhou Daily said that according to the "Disciplinary Guidelines and Punishment Measures of the Chinese Football Association", prohibiting any football-related activities refers to prohibiting the punished object from engaging in any football-related activities (including but not limited to investment, management, competition or other). From this point of view, Qi Hong is indeed contrary to the FA's fines, and it is likely to be punished by the FA again afterwards.
