Justice may be late but never absent, and the courage of one person is enough to pry open the entire system. Chinese football has gone through ups and downs and has been shrouded in the shadow of corruption. However, a brave beacon figure, Li Tie, stepped forward and revealed these dark corners. Li Tie's worldwide attention has brought profound shock to the football world, and the future of Chinese football has become full of hope.
After Li Tie was investigated, there was a large-scale anti-corruption campaign at the Chinese Football Association and league level. According to the revelations, hundreds of people were involved in the case, and these people have malignantly bred in various ways in the development of Chinese football, damaging the reputation of the entire sports world. These moths, once rampant in the system, led to the degeneration of Chinese football, fogged the entire sports environment, repeatedly sluggish performance of the men's team, and the poor record of the women's World Cup, disappointing fans.
About 10 months have passed since Li Tie was investigated, and now he has entered the prosecution process and will face a legal trial. The General Administration of Sports of China has also set up a stolen goods account in the hope that those who have profited from it will voluntarily return the stolen money as a sign of repentance. However, some people still harbor illusions that they can get away with it, but they did not expect the magnitude of this anti-corruption campaign and the determination of the relevant departments. Just as the legal net is restored and neglected, the violators will eventually be severely punished by the law and condemned by social morality.
Naehara's revelations not only revealed the dark side of the FA system, but also pointed out the problems in the refereeing world. While Chinese soccer has been facing accusations of match-fixing and black whistles, active referees do not appear to have been investigated. This raised questions among fans who doubted whether the referee was really safe, especially after Gao Hongbo took charge of the referee's work, he canceled the opportunity for the club to appeal, giving the referee more authority and leading to some misconduct by the referee. Naehara's revelation also mentioned that the referee began to return the stolen goods, although the refund amount was relatively small. He pointed out that to determine the violation of the referee, it is often necessary to find out a large amount of evidence, such as the unknown source of funds, so it is difficult to determine the true violation of the referee.
