Since November 26, 2022, Li Tie, the former head coach of the Chinese men's football team, was suspected of serious violations of the law and was taken away for investigation for nearly two months. So far, no official investigation has been disclosed. But it is certain that this will be a storm in Chinese football this year, and even in the Chinese sports industry. This incident will reveal many internal contradictions and drawbacks in Chinese football to a certain extent. The editors here conclude the four deadly sins of football that are about to be exposed.
The last thing fans can stand is match-fixing and controlling the outcome of the game. For stakeholders, however, it is a common tactic of maximizing benefits. Media person Li Pingkang revealed: The two international players have run away before, and fans have made bold guesses, most likely the former international players surnamed Qin and Dong, who have faithfully played under Li Tie. There is no wind hanging in the air, and lonely trees cannot become forests. However, driven by the interests of coveting the team's relegation and promotion, and colluding with some commercial organizations, players, referees, and even team executives do not hesitate to operate match-fixing in an attempt to profit. This practice will inevitably form a bad atmosphere in the team, which will affect the team's instinctive aggression and cohesion to a certain extent. Will such a team qualify? Will you compete in Asia and the world?
In addition to the profit accident of the black box operation, the high annual salary of the head coach is also an industry criticism that has to be mentioned.
According to the investigation by "Football News", Li Tie's annual salary was 12 million yuan during his tenure in Wuhan from 2018 to 2019. In addition, in the Guangzhou Evergrande coaching staff, the annual salary at the peak was 30 million, and the 5-year contract signed with Wuhan Zall also included a total of 30 million yuan in visa fees (although only 18 million was cashed). Signed a 5-year contract with the national team and also has an annual salary of 8 million. Such a high annual salary is really jaw-dropping. This salary model is only one of the drawbacks of maintaining commercial purposes and sacrificing the overall effectiveness of the team, which will directly lead to uneven distribution of benefits, unreasonable salary and incentive mechanisms, and to a certain extent will affect the enthusiasm and combat effectiveness of players (although the salary of players is already very high, but who can resist the temptation in front of them?). ）。
Not only is the money divided, but he also wears many positions, and the power will not fall, which shows that the financial fortune is prosperous, and the official fortune is not bad.
Li Tie is serving as the manager of Wuhan Zall Club at the same time, but also as the national team manager, this dual identity, not to mention in the player lineup, from time to time there will be some so-called "relationship accounts", which damages the best configuration of the team's lineup, just as the head coach, lack of skills, in the situation and pressure of the national football team breaking into the international competitions and losing successively, how to concentrate on the team's vocational coaching? This is a loss for both the club and the national team.
In fact, being able to maneuver between the national team and the club is so good that it cannot be achieved by relying on individual vocational teaching ability alone, and it must be a manifestation of someone in the DPRK who is good at doing things.
At first, many domestic media reported that Fu Xiang, a heavyweight who had been elected as a member of the executive committee of the Chinese Football Association, director of the youth committee, vice president and secretary general of the Wuhan Football Association, was taken away for investigation. Recently, the official website of the Chinese Football Association showed that Liu Yi, secretary general of the Chinese Football Association, had been removed from his post. And among the people who are currently known to be taken away for investigation, there are many officials of the football association, coaches, agents, players, etc., and some of the hidden figures involved are jaw-dropping. These people are not necessarily all directly related to Li Tie's case, but it proves that some of the stalwarts of the team collude with bureaucrats to form an inextricable corruption network; Some of those in power put interests and short-term performance first, indirectly interfering with the fact of team allocation, team training and appointments. The long-term stable development of the team has not been taken seriously, and such a vicious circle for a long time, if it is not thoroughly rectified, how can the national football team see the clouds one day!
