Heaven's way is good reincarnation, but who has spared it.
When it comes to the current anti-corruption and anti-corruption in football, it is entirely possible to make another "Crazy Race", actor Zhang Songwen vividly interprets Gao Qiqiang's arrogance and domineering, while the greed and domineering of Chinese football are full of color, good and evil, heaven, hell.
Since the outbreak of the Li Tie case, in addition to the previously reported Liu Yi, Chen Yongliang, Chen Jiayuan, Wang Xiaoping and Huang Song within the Football Association have recently fallen again, even Yu Hongchen, the former vice chairman of the Football Association, and Dong Zheng, the former general manager of the Chinese Super League Company, have also been examined and investigated for suspected serious violations of discipline and law, which shows that the anti-corruption and anti-gang storm in football is burning throughout the football field with the momentum of the plain, and is accelerating its spread.
On the evening of March 27, the official announced the list of targets for the first round of inspections of the 20th Central Committee, including the State General Administration of Sports, which was listed as a "mobile inspection" target. This can't help but remind people of July 28, 2014, it was after the 11th Central Inspection Team entered the State General Administration of Sports for inspection, and many heavyweight officials of the General Administration of Sports were taken down one after another, including some referees and coaches were also taken away to assist in the investigation, and then many sports "unspoken rules" surfaced one by one, which surprised the market. The difference between the two today is that 14 years is from the top down, and this time it is from the bottom up.
According to the current news leaked by the media, the anti-corruption and anti-gang crime operation carried out with the Li Tie case as a clue mainly revolves around corruption and fake gambling. Including bribing high-ranking officials, paying off referees, buying opponents to play match-fixing, playing black balls and other customary methods. In many games in the past Chinese Super League and China League One, there are obvious traces of artificial manipulation, which not only violate sportsmanship, but also challenge the IQ of the audience, but the public is helpless about it. For example, in the 2019 Chinese Super League relegation battle between Shenzhen and Wuhan Yangtze River, Shenzhen actually scored three goals in three minutes while trailing by three goals, which is a miracle, and Li Tie was the head coach of Wuhan at that time.
In addition to fake gambling, industry insiders also pointed out that the Football Association is also extremely chaotic, the use of funds is not transparent, the accounts are not clear, of course, including the Football Association has the absolute right to speak in the Chinese Super League company, rumors are that officials in the process of commercial cooperation There is a trick of interest transmission has always existed, and the operation of sports events has become a weapon for some officials to enrich their own pockets, so the Chinese Super League has also become the focus of this anti-corruption anti-corruption investigation.
What are the root causes of these problems?
First of all, we can find that one of the important reasons is that the power of the football association is too centralized. In China, the Football Association has absolute say in everything about football, which makes the Football Association the center of power, and it is difficult for other organizations and individuals to effectively supervise the behavior of the Football Association.
Secondly, it has been 20 years since the implementation of professional development, market operation has been commercialized, but management is an administrative system, this "dual-track system" dominated by administrative management market-oriented operation has made it inevitable that scandals such as "official-business collusion" and "match-fixing black whistle" have inevitably appeared in the football league.
Conclusion: If Chinese football wants to regain its new life, it must deeply find, promote and solve the corruption problems and deep-seated institutional problems in the football field, scrape the bones and cure poison, reshape the image, promote reform, and eradicate the rotten soil.
