Following the arrest of Chen Yongliang, director of the State Management Department of the Chinese Football Association, and Liu Yi, secretary general of the Chinese Football Association, Chen Jiayuan, president of the Chinese Football Association, was also taken away for investigation due to suspected serious violations of law and discipline. After Chen Jiayuan was arrested, the exact news given by many media people was that the relevant departments' anti-gang sweep of the Chinese Football Association was still ongoing, and this time it was ready to sweep away the dark forces within the Chinese Football Association.
However, after Chen Jiayuan was arrested, the Chinese Football Association made an emergency response. It is reported that after Chen Jiayuan was taken away by the relevant departments, the Chinese Football Association is currently pushing Du Zhaocai (currently the deputy director of the General Administration of Sports, the party secretary and vice chairman of the Chinese Football Association) to the top position, and the internal work of the Chinese Football Association is all handed over to Du Zhaocai. It can be said that the 63-year-old Du Zhaocai was ordered after Chen Jiayuan was arrested.
According to the relevant reports of Li Xuan, a media person, after Du Zhaocai took over the work of the Chinese Football Association, the first thing he did was to adjust the internal publicity work of the Chinese Football Association and replace the head of publicity of the Chinese Football Association. In addition, after Du Zhaocai was interviewed by the Discipline Inspection Commission of the General Administration of Sports, the first thing he did when he returned to the Chinese Football Association was to interview the person in charge of finance within the Chinese Football Association. Obviously, the discipline inspection department of the General Administration of Sports will start to inquire into the accounts of the Chinese Football Association in recent years.
It can be seen on the official website of the Chinese Football Association that the Chinese Football Association held a meeting of middle-level cadres, mainly for a series of adjustments to the recent key work. It is reported that the host of this meeting is Du Zhaocai, who also focused on the next work direction of the Chinese Football Association at the meeting. It is divided into six directions, the first is to promote reform with cases, the second is the preparation of the national team, the third is the preparation of the league, the fourth is youth football, the fifth is the construction of football cities, and the sixth is the internal management of the football association.
From the above, it can be seen that the Chinese Football Association is currently dealing with the arrest of Chen Jiayuan and the fact that many senior leaders have been taken away by relevant departments. Combined with Du Zhaocai's adjustment of the publicity work of the Chinese Football Association, the news about Chen Jiayuan these days has gradually changed from "denouncing Chen Jiayuan" to "understanding Chen Jiayuan". Perhaps, since Du Zhaocai took over, the anti-gang action of the Chinese Football Association has ended here, and in the future, no one will be investigated by the Chinese Football Association.
