The main theme in 2023 is the sports industry's anti-gang crime and anti-corruption, the first to set off a sweep of black is the football world, Li Tie, Chen Jiayuan, Du Zhaocai and other well-known football bigwigs were arrested, they involved a huge amount of money, it is expected to go in for many years. Originally, the task force only investigated the football field, but did not expect that more people were eventually implicated, especially Du Zhaocai, deputy director of the General Administration of Sports, who was investigated, which means that the sweep of football has extended to the entire sports world. The inspection team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection also officially entered the General Administration of Sports on April 8, and it has been two days.
According to media person Li Pingkang, there is also a super big fish in the sports world, higher than Du Zhaocai's level, and is also the boss of Liu Aijie, chairman of the Rowing Association, the former official of the General Administration of Sports surnamed G is very important to Liu Aijie, and after Liu Aijie was caught, the super big fish has also disappeared and has not appeared for several days. According to Ran Xiongfei, similar to Du Zhaocai's arrest, it seems that it is only waiting for the official announcement. It is reported that the inspection team of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection is composed of 30 people this time, and the biggest goal is to work together to round up this ultimate big fish.
If the big tiger falls, it will definitely shock the entire sports world, and the purpose will be achieved, that is, to let the people engaged in this industry keep to themselves, from the corruption of the football association, there should be big problems in other sports industries. On the whole, from November 2022 to the present, 5 months have passed, the sweep of football has basically ended, Chen Jiayuan and Du Zhaocai, the two heads of the football association, fell from the horse, which is also a relatively big gain, completely removing these moths, but also allowing Chinese football to usher in the dawn.
It is worth mentioning that the Football Association has changed its dynasty, and although a new president of the Football Association has not yet been elected, the 57-year-old Gao Hongbo is now in a high position of power, and his status is the same as that of Chen Jiayuan before. After the 9 people of the Football Association were arrested, Gao Hongbo and Sun Wen and Yan Zhanhe became the senior officials of the Football Association who retired all over the body, and Gao Hongbo and Sun Wen were vice presidents of the Football Association, and they did not have any real power when Chen Jiayuan was in charge of the Football Association, and now, the General Administration of Sports let Li Yingchuan serve as the head of the temporary working group of the Football Association, and Li Yingchuan appointed Gao Hongbo to be in charge of the referee department and the competition department, it can be said that Gao Hongbo is now the second head of the Football Association, because Li Yingchuan, deputy director of the General Administration of Sports, is unlikely to stay in the Football Association for a long time, so, Gao Hongbo may only be a matter of time before Chen Jiayuan replaces.
Gao Hongbo now holds great power, and after he took office, he abolished the old system of the football association under Chen Jiayuan. According to Beijing Youth Daily, Gao Hongbo promulgated a new policy of the Football Association, once the referee blows the penalty in the new season, the club and the players are not allowed to protest, and the referee's blowing penalty is the final result and will not be changed. There is no doubt that after Gao Hongbo took charge of the referee's department, he greatly improved the status of referees in the Chinese Super League and made the game less controversial. If the referee is to be questioned, it can only be the Football Association, and the responsibility of the club and the players is to play in peace.
There is no doubt that after the implementation of the new regulations, there will be fewer controversial scenes in the Chinese Super League. In 2023, no one in the referee industry has been arrested, including Ma Ning, Fu Ming and other international referees are also safe, they should not have participated in the Chinese Super League match-fixing case. Although the policy promulgated by Gao Hongbo will increase the probability of referees making mistakes, after all, the transparency is not high, but considering the anti-corruption efforts in the football industry, it is estimated that no one dares to touch the red line. Therefore, Gao Hongbo's formulation of new rules according to the current environment of Chinese football is also very reasonable. Gao Hongbo should be the person who knows Chinese football best, and if the Football Association puts him in charge, there is no guarantee that Chinese football will develop by leaps and bounds, but at least there will be no big trouble.
