In just over 100 days, more than 70 people fell under the corruption case in the football world, including 9 leaders within the football association, which is an unprecedented shameful record and reflects the reasons for the decline of Chinese football achievements over the years.
Nowadays, the president of the football association seems to have become a high-risk profession, starting with Yang Yimin, Nan Yong, Xie Yalong and other football association officials, and now Chen Jiayuan, Wang Xiaoping, Yu Hongchen, have not escaped the end of being tortured. As a national official, it is too funny that the Football Association has become a gathering place for illegal acts. However, there is also someone who can retreat from this seductive position, and he is Cai Zhenhua, one of the few ping-pong titans who retires safely.
As Chen Jiayuan's predecessor, Cai Zhenhua served as the chairman of the Football Association when investors such as Xu Jiayin and Zhang Jindong entered the Chinese Super League, which made the entire Chinese football scene prosperous. After the birth of a number of sky-high signings, the Chinese Super League once became the first league in Asia, and the world's money-burning level was also able to rank in the top six, and even suppressed the declining Serie A for a while. It was also during this period that the salaries of football practitioners reached a historical peak, and Cai Zhenhua also made a lot of money.
Obviously, in such an era where money is like dung, it is the easiest to breed corruption, is Cai Zhenhua really not a problem at all? You must know that he has close ties with Xu Jiayin, Du Zhaocai and others, and the problems exposed by Chinese football after Chen Jiayuan took office are not left by Cai Zhenhua at all? Therefore, under all kinds of doubts, the outside world's call for strict investigation of Cai Zhenhua's football association officials became higher and higher, which also made Cai Zhenhua's heart begin to collapse.
The People's Daily also recently officially stated that it will never let go of anyone who breaks the law, and will severely punish the corrupt people of Chinese football and will never tolerate anyone. Li Pingkang also pointed out that 10 years after the People's Daily announced the reverse investigation, he would publicly report to the Discipline Inspection Commission and reflect the relevant situation, and then he also carried the topic of 6 members of the Football Association, and it was clear that his spearhead was directed at Cai Zhenhua. In this case, some media claimed that Cai Zhenhua had not appeared for a long time, and he was close to missing contact.
This situation is similar to when Chen Jiayuan Du Zhaocai was arrested, so many media have speculated that Cai Zhenhua has left China, and he does not want to be involved in such an incident, so he chose to go overseas to avoid the limelight, and his mental state is still a mystery.
