Recently, Chinese football has once again set off an anti-corruption storm, and a series of heavy news is shocking. First of all, Chen Jiayuan, president of the Chinese Football Association, was finally prosecuted, becoming one of the 14th "big tigers" in the anti-corruption campaign in football. At the same time, national team coach Li Tie was also prosecuted for his involvement in the case, and the fall of these two important figures in football has attracted widespread attention.
According to media sources, the amount involved in the case of Li Tie and Chen Jiayuan exceeded the "three million yuan" originally stated, and they may face life imprisonment or even the death penalty under the criminal law sentencing provisions. This news became the most unexpected gift to Chinese fans on the Mid-Autumn Festival National Day, causing strong repercussions from all walks of life.
What is shocking is not only the fall of the top management of the football association, but also the news that Xu Jiayin, chairman of the board of directors of Evergrande, is under residential surveillance. Bloomberg reported that Xu Jiayin, 65, was taken away by authorities a few days ago and placed under residential surveillance in Beijing. Under the Criminal Procedure Law, the maximum period of residential surveillance is six months, and Xu Jiayin is about to face limitations for that period. The sudden news caused a shock in the market, and Evergrande's stock price fell rapidly.
Xu Jiayin, as the owner of the Guangzhou team, once said that he wanted to realize his dream of rushing to overtake and introduced two strong foreign players to the team.
Today, however, his fate is threatened. Although Xu Jiayin's wealth has shrunk significantly, it is still enough to support the Guangzhou team to remain competitive and gain a foothold in the Chinese Super League.
At the same time, Du Liang, general manager of Evergrande Wealth, and Zhu Jialin, chairman of Evergrande Life, were taken away one after another, and these two Xu Jiayin's cronies had accidents one after another, making people wonder whether Xu Jiayin would also violate the law. For now, however, Xu Jiayin is only restricted from his freedom of residence in Beijing, and his situation is relatively mild compared to Li Tie and Chen Jiayuan.
It is worth mentioning that the anti-corruption action of the Chinese Football Association undoubtedly embodies the principle of fairness and strictness. Not only are the giants of the Chinese Super League who have not paid the adjustment fee required to make supplementary payments, but also the giants who refuse to pay because they cannot issue invoices may also face the penalty of suspending the access qualification of the Chinese Super League. This move shows the determination and courage of Chinese football governance.
With the release of this series of heavy news, Chinese football has once again become the focus of society. Fans have expressed their support for the Football Association's anti-corruption campaign, hoping to eliminate the dark forces and rebuild a healthy and orderly football environment. As for the fate of the people involved and the future of the Evergrande team, there are different opinions, and only time will give the answer.
As a news blogger, I feel a great responsibility. By reporting on these important events, I hope to convey the values of justice, fairness and openness, and guide public opinion to pay attention to the progress of football reform and anti-corruption work. I will continue to monitor this matter and bring more in-depth and valuable coverage to readers.
