author:Talk about the present

Since Li Tie's investigation, Chinese football has set off a wave of anti-corruption, but its scandals are much more than that. Not long ago, Liu Yi, secretary general of the Football Association, Chen Yongliang, former secretary general, and Chen Jiayuan, the highest leader of the Football Association, were investigated one after another, and Wang Dengfeng, vice chairman of the Football Association, was arrested. According to the news, the incident involved as many as 40 people, some of whom were low-ranking and were not officially announced. At the same time, many high-ranking family members of the football association have also been accused of involvement in the football business.

The corruption of Chinese football is so serious that it has been seen as a tool for enrichment by those who have lost their reverence for Chinese football and made it dirty. From the national team Chen Jiayuan playing cards in the name of supervising the battle, to Li Tie using his position to facilitate the acceptance of naturalized players' playing fees, and interfering with other players to enter the national team, to cronyism to transfer his cronies to the national team, all this shows the dark side of football.

Although the anti-corruption wave is continuing to ferment, the corruption problem in Chinese football still needs to be fundamentally changed. Only by resolutely cracking down on corruption and regaining the love and awe of football can Chinese football rejuvenate and revitalize.

Then look at the match-fixing scandal in the league, these people undermine the fairness of the game, deceive the results of fans and investors, when these behaviors are exposed, not only seriously hurt the enthusiasm of fans for the league, but also make many investors feel cold, resulting in a large number of investors divesting, so that the league is now in chaos. What makes fans even more angry is that the youth league has also broken out a match-fixing scandal, and some people have no scruples to use children for their own selfish purposes. These circumstances have made many fans feel that Chinese football has been fundamentally corrupted, and whether these children will become the next Li Tie, Wu Xinghan and others is also worrying.

In this case, some fans have called for the dissolution of the Chinese men's team and the transfer of funds to the women's team. However, competitive sports are the embodiment of a country's sporting strength, and many times it depends on the level of male athletes. Because men's matches are highly spectatory, both Chinese men's and world men's football are more popular than women's football, and men's football players are generally paid and treated more. Therefore, canceling the Chinese men's football team is not a realistic solution. How to improve the performance of the Chinese men's football team has become a serious problem that requires the joint efforts of the whole society to solve it.

Chinese football has been working hard to fight corruption and promote integrity in recent years, and the recent investigation of many football officials such as Li Tie has made many fans feel gratified. In addition to the fall of Li Tie and others, there is also news that the relevant departments are investigating league match-fixing, making fans look forward to a big reshuffle in the football circle.

However, what makes people feel ridiculous is that Li Tie not only did not take the initiative to explain the problem after being investigated, but also went on a hunger strike to interfere with law enforcement. And with the arrest of Chen Jiayuan and others, and the famous Li Xuan broke the news that Chen Jiayuan's own son was also arrested, many fans began to spit on Li Tie. They used to have the illusion that Li Tie had someone to protect him, but now the collective fall of the top officials of the Football Association proves that the anti-corruption is very strong.

There are also people like Ding Yong in football circles, who is the general manager of the Shenzhen men's football team, and he used to be a senior executive in Tianjin Tianhai. According to the revelation, he had embezzled hundreds of millions of yuan in the Tianhai account with Secretary General Liu Yi. After that, Tianhai eventually disbanded, but Ding Yong did not know when he was hired by the Shenzhen men's football team, and still abused his power. He single-handedly controlled the team's signings and ate cards to make personal gains, resulting in serious salary arrears from the Shenzhen men's team.

Although Ding Yong has also been investigated, the Shenzhen men's football team is still facing a huge problem of unpaid wages, and even a reporter accompanying the team broke the news that the relevant departments have come to Shenzhen to investigate. However, we believe that the law upholds justice and does not wronged good people. After purging the corrupt elements in the football circle, we should cultivate more good seedlings and let unselfish people like Sun Wen and Gao Hongbo become leaders. I believe that the Chinese men's football team has hope of rising, because our physical fitness is not inferior to Japan and South Korea, and we also have a huge population advantage. Does everyone think this is the right direction?
