The corruption of the Chinese Football Association has once again attracted attention. Recently, the Football Association has arrested a number of corrupt officials involved in the men's football team, but the problem of China's women's football team has been ignored.
At the World Cup, People's Daily exposed the shady scenes of women's football for the first time, pointing out that corruption is eroding the foundations of Chinese football and seriously reducing fans' enthusiasm for football.
There are therefore calls for more thorough anti-corruption efforts and severe penalties for both men's and women's soccer teams to prevent the spread of this phenomenon.
While the cases of Li Tie, Chen Jiayuan and others are not over, the Chinese women's football team will face stricter supervision and further investigation into their illegal acts.
In this context, Jia Xiuquan has become the focus of attention. During his coaching of the women's football team, Wang Shuang, Tang Jiali, Zhang Linyan and other main players were suppressed, which eventually led to the fiasco in the Olympic Games, which made many fans feel sad and regretful.
The same problem arose in the World Cup coached by Shui Qingxia. She put Wang Shuang on the bench, and even Tang Jiali did not have the opportunity to play, and what was even more surprising was that Wang Shanshan was replaced by a defender. These decisions require Shui Qingxia's explanation.
As the main person in charge of the Chinese women's football team, Sun Wen also has a certain negligence in this regard. During her tenure, both head coaches of the Chinese women's football team experienced cronyism, which can be blamed on her mistakes in the work.
The performance of the Chinese women's football team has fallen sharply in recent years, which is undoubtedly an inevitable consequence. For a long time, the issue of women's football in China has been ignored, but with the exposure and appeal of the People's Daily, the issue has finally attracted higher attention.
As the head coach of the Chinese women's football team, Jia Xiuquan's mistakes during his tenure need to be traced back to the root cause. As the vice president of the Football Association, Sun Wen should be responsible for her negligence.
The anti-corruption campaign will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the Chinese women's football team, but we hope that this impact will not be achieved overnight, but will promote the long-term development of Chinese women's football.
Only by fundamentally eliminating corruption and strengthening supervision can the Chinese women's football team return to the right track and show their due level and demeanor. We hope that the Chinese Football Association will inject new vitality into China's football cause with greater determination and action.
