On August 30, Beijing time, the boots finally fell, and Liu Jun, chairman of the Chinese Super League and deputy head of the preparatory group of the Chinese Football Federation, was examined and investigated. Liu Jun used to serve in Jiangsu Shuntian (Suning), and had many infights with Gao Hongbo, and there were also infightings during the two of them serving in the Football Association at the same time. It is worth mentioning that Liu Jun's investigation is likely to involve the manipulation of the game, and Gu Chao, who has been investigated before, is likely to be closely related to him.
Liu Jun and Gao Hongbo both played for Jiangsu Shuntian in the 2015 season, Liu Jun was the club's general manager, and Gao Hongbo was the manager. Jiangsu's record had ups and downs that season, but Liu Jun hinted that the media repeatedly poured dirty water on Gao Hongbo to shirk his responsibility. Liu Jun and Gao Hongbo's infighting in the Jiangsu team ended with Liu Jun winning a big victory, and Gao Hongbo could only slip away.
After going to the Chinese Football Federation and the Chinese Super League Company, Liu Jun and Gao Hongbo, who has become the vice chairman of the Chinese Football Association, had many "infighting", Gao Hongbo basically had no real power in the early stage when the Football Association became the vice president of the Football Association, and after Chen Jiayuan and others were investigated, after Gao Hongbo finally seized real power, Liu Jun instructed the media familiar with him to blame Gao Hongbo for all kinds of chaos in the league.
Of course, Liu Jun's accident is inseparable from Li Yuyi, and it is under the leadership of Li Yuyi that Liu Jun succeeds Li Yuyi as the chairman of the Chinese Super League. In addition, Liu Jun has a close relationship with a former Shenhua senior executive who has been stranded overseas but has been in an accident, and during his tenure, Jiangsu Suning and Shanghai Shenhua also played many games that surprised the outside world.
It is worth mentioning that Shanghai Shenhua staff once disclosed the results to the outside world before the game, and the final match results were the same. Therefore, Liu Jun's investigation, in addition to some things about his work in the Chinese Super League and the preparatory team of the Chinese Football Federation, is likely to be related to his manipulation of the game.
