A: Just click Follow in the upper right corner.
Since the former head coach of the national football team, Li Tie, was taken away, the anti-corruption crackdown in Chinese football has lasted for less than half a year. Since this time, Chinese football has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the life trajectory of many people has been completely rewritten. Maybe one second they were lying on a large number of banknotes, drunk and golden, and the next second they were handcuffed by the staff who broke down the door, and left and right. Starting with Li Tie, the people who were taken away involved various jobs, including players, coaches, club executives, and even insiders of the Football Association. With the arrest of "calligrapher" Wang Xiaoping, the middle level of the Chinese Football Association is almost half in. It seems that Chen Jiayuan really can't bear it inside.
At this point, the attitude of the relevant departments has been very clear, that is, no matter how big the storm is, it is necessary to completely eradicate all the cancers of Chinese football, even if the work of the league and the football association is temporarily paralyzed. So far, no less than 70 people have been taken away, and the scale is beyond imagination. But the fans always feel that something is missing, yes, the referee. For a long time, the fake gambling black in football is not just a single line, but countless lines forming a vast and intricate network, and the referee often plays an important role in it. For example, in the last anti-corruption crackdown on counterfeiting in Chinese football, famous sentinels such as Lu Jun, Huang Junjie, and Wan Daxue were imprisoned. So this time, who will it be?
Sure enough, well-known lawyer Zhang Bing posted on his personal social media that the referee began to be handcuffed away, and his second prejudgment was realized. To investigate the authenticity of this matter, we must first understand Zhang Bing. According to public information, lawyer Zhang Bing is the representative lawyer of many athletes and foreign aid in the domestic sports world. His profession can be directly linked to the club's senior management and the official football association, and he has access to relevant departments, so his sources are faster and more accurate than many media people. Lawyer Zhang Bing's statement so accurately shows that there are indeed referees in Chinese football who have been taken away, and the fire of anti-corruption and counterfeiting has finally reached the referee.
Looking back over the past few years, the more controversial matches in Chinese football can be described as a basket. Before Fu Ming was checked by Shandong Luneng fans, later there were referees lined up to see off Ma Ning, and referees such as Zhang Lei, Ai Kun, Shen Yinhao, Jin Jingyuan, Shi Zhenlu and other referees also blew more controversial matches. Among them, although some game scenes are out of control, which is caused by the lack of referee's professional ability and ability to control the field, there are also many games, obviously fans can see the mirror, but the referee is wrong judgment and omission, which directly changes the direction of the game. To put it bluntly, some referees have the ability to give correct penalties, but they have caused the scene to get out of control, which is worth scrutinizing.
Although lawyer Zhang Bing did not point out who the referee who was taken away, many fans mentioned one person, that is, Ma Ning. In fact, fans have questioned Ma Ning for a long time, at first Ma Ning was famous in football for his strict law enforcement and love of playing cards, and later in some games, Ma Ning also often had controversial penalties. More famous is the 2020 season, Ma Ning almost single-handedly blocked Shandong Luneng from the final four as a VAR referee, and in the 2022 season, Ma Ning was knocked over by Dorado, which directly led to the latter's one-year ban. In fact, as early as January, there were rumors that Ma Ning was investigated, but Ma Ning still successfully punished the Club World Cup and returned home safely. However, under the storm of anti-corruption and anti-counterfeiting in Chinese football, Ma Ning's social media has long been attacked, and Ma Ning's latest status is still stuck on February 12. Whether this mysterious man is him or not is unknown.
Of course, some fans pointed out that Ma Ning is still okay, at most he loves to pull out cards, and Fu Ming, Ai Kun, Shen Yinhao, these have all appeared in the news of European football, and some of the blowing penalties are almost suspected of blatant manipulation of the game. According to an annual report titled "Gaming Corruption and Match-Fixing Fraud 2022" released by Sportradar, China ranked fifth in the world in the number of "suspicious matches" in 2022, and most of these 41 games came from football. This is still the year 2022 when the golden yuan era ends, so what about before 2020, it is simply unimaginable. So much match-fixing, without the involvement of the referee, that is impossible. Next, the refereeing community in Chinese football will also be panicked.
For Chinese football, such a bone scraping treatment is indeed needed to have hope for a new life. Judging from the fact that the two recent warm-up matches between the national football team and New Zealand were not broadcast by CCTV, it is not difficult to find that the focus of Chinese football is no longer the national team, or even the league, but the infrastructure such as youth training. This is a perfect echo of the current anti-corruption crackdown. We can accept the pain of pushing back and reinventing Chinese football, but we can't bear that Chinese football continues to be in turmoil. Let the storm come harder!
