The biggest match-fixing case in the history of Chinese football was exposed! 9 teams were involved, and Li Tie pulled the strings, and the Football Association couldn't sit still
With the appearance of Li Tie and others who have been arrested for a long time on CCTV, there is new news about the "anti-black" operation in Chinese football, which has gradually returned to calm. According to a message released by Geng Zhimin, the chief producer of CCTV, Li Tie's 8-game winning streak when he coached Hebei Huaxia Happiness contained great moisture, and many of these games were suspected of buying balls. If Geng Zhimin's statement is confirmed, then there is no doubt that this will be the biggest match-fixing incident since the professionalization of Chinese football.
Geng Zhimin said: "Li Tie started his coaching career with Huaxia Happiness, and then coached Wuhan Zall, during which the so-called eight-game winning streak and a large number of other winning games were bought by the club with a lot of money. If he can finally coach the national team, he will spend money all the way. ”
Geng Zhimin's statement is very clear: Li Tie's record in Huaxia Happiness back then contained a very big match-fixing factor. Time back to 2015, when Li Tie became the head coach of Hebei Huaxia Happiness in the middle of the season, leading the team to win all the way to the Chinese Super League qualification without being favored, becoming the "masterpiece" of his coaching career. In fact, at the end of 2015, Dalian Yifang Club, which was overtaken by Huaxia Happiness and lost its qualification for the Chinese Super League, constantly complained to the Football Association that Huaxia Happiness's game was boring, but it never attracted the attention of the Football Association.
The opponents of Huaxia Fortune's eight consecutive victories that year were 2-1 Wuhan Zall, 4-3 Beijing Institute of Technology, 3-0 Hunan Xiangtao, 1-0 Qingdao Zhongneng, 1-0 Jiangxi Liansheng, 2-0 Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopard, 2-0 Guizhou Zhicheng, 2-0 Shenzhen Yuheng, plus Huaxia Happiness itself, a total of 9 teams were involved in this match-fixing incident, and more than half of the teams in the Chinese League were involved, which is unprecedented.
According to Shi Xueqing, the former general manager of Dalian Yifang Club, there were two ways for Li Tie's Huaxia Fortune to "buy balls": one is to tempt the opponent team with a lot of money and let them release water in the game, such as the main players who have no injury problems in the snow, and the other is to pay the players directly and instruct them to avoid the game. In these match-fixing transactions, Huaxia Fortune is the specific implementer, and Li Tie uses his connections to play the role of a matchmaker.
Now, this match-fixing case, which has been suppressed by the Chinese Football Association for many years, is finally about to be completely exposed to the world. It is foreseeable that the Football Association will no longer be able to cover the teams involved as it did 8 years ago, and a bigger storm may be coming......
