Li Tie confessed: Twice led the team to surpass + the national football coach was bribed! 60 million to send 4 Zhuoer to the national football team

On the evening of January 9, Beijing time, the fourth episode of CCTV's annual anti-corruption feature film "Continue to Make Efforts to Promote the "Three Non-Corruptions" as scheduled. The fourth episode contains the content of systematic and collapsed corruption in the field of Chinese football, which has attracted much attention.

Previously, former national football coach Li Tie confessed in the trailer, saying that he regretted "not taking the right path". And Li Tie's specific and detailed crimes were also disclosed to the outside world through his oral and narration introductions in interviews after the feature film was officially broadcast. Below, we summarize the content of the CCTV anti-corruption feature film about Li Tie in the way of commentary.

In the feature film, Li Tie first said: Some things feel that they are Xi in the football circle, but now it seems that many things are illegal and criminal.

In August 2015, Li Tie joined Hebei Huaxia Happiness Club as the head coach for the first time. At that time, there were only 9 games left in the season, and Huaxia Happiness was only ranked 6th, and the prospect of surpassing was not optimistic. As soon as Li Tie took office, the club bluntly proposed that he would use his connections to buy his opponents. In the end, Huaxia Happiness won 8 consecutive victories and successfully counterattacked and won the runner-up success. Especially in the last game, Huaxia Happiness must win or draw to ensure that it surpasses, and the club has spent a lot of money for this.

Regarding this matter, Li Tie admitted: When I was a player, what I hated the most was people who played match-fixing, but because I knew that these might help our team increase (surpass) the odds and become the head coach of the team for the first time, I also have the mentality of wanting to prove myself.

Meng Jing, the former chairman of Huaxia Happiness, also admitted: In the last game, we spent about 14 million yuan, and we greeted the Shenzhen team club, head coach and players.

In addition to the club level, Li Tie's coaching team is responsible for directly buying opposing players from the individual level. Li Tie instructed assistant coach Zheng Bin and contacted Zheng Bin's hometown in the Shenzhen team, the main defender Li Fei.

Li Fei (person involved): Actually, I didn't look for anyone, because at that time, whether it was the right time and place, they all had the advantage, we were away at the time, and we had just finished the relegation, and our hearts were already scattered, so I thought about the last game, everyone was not injured, and we would have a holiday after the last game.

Li Tie: Achieving "success" in this improper way will actually make you more and more eager to achieve quick results, in order to achieve results, find referees to do work, buy other players, coaches, and some clubs find clubs, this way has become a Xi, and even a little dependence later.

After tasting the sweetness of match-fixing in Huaxia Fortune, when he was hired as the coach of Wuhan Zall in 2017, he began to take the initiative to promote match-fixing to the club. At the instigation of Li Tie, Wuhan Zall Club also decided to "rush" at any cost. On October 6, 2018, Wuhan Zall successfully overtook three rounds ahead of schedule.

In August 2019, when he learned that the Chinese Football Association was going to form a men's national football team to participate in the East Asian Cup, Li Tie felt that the opportunity had come.

Li Tie said: Because I want to be the head coach of the national team so much, I have thought of a lot of ways, found many people to ask for help, and found the leaders of the Football Association, who can help me say good things and recommend me.

It is reported that on the one hand, Li Tie lobbied the Zall Club to pay for him to do the work, saying that if he could "get on top", he would also repay the club in many ways, and the club took out 2 million yuan to bribe Chen Xuyuan for this. On the other hand, Li Tie felt that Liu Yi, the secretary general of the Football Association at the time, also had a lot of right to speak, so he gave Liu Yi 1 million yuan out of his own pocket.

In the end, Li Tie got the position of national football coach as he wished, and the day after he got this position, Li Tie flew to Wuhan to negotiate a deal with Zall Club. Li Tie signed a so-called "contract" with Zall Club with a total amount of 60 million yuan, but in fact, it was only used as a cover to cover up the essence of the power-for-money transaction. He quickly added four players from the Zall squad to the national squad.

Even Tian Xudong, the former chairman of Wuhan Zall, admitted: I blushed when I saw the national football list, I know the ability of our players, and they can't get in, and they can't get in.

Once the selection of players and coaches is used as a weight for personal gain, it is inevitable that they will not produce results. When fans were still looking forward to Li Tie being able to lead the men's national football team to the World Cup, many insiders already knew that such a miracle could not happen.

Li Tie confessed to his crime: I regret it very much. It is still necessary to be down-to-earth, but also to take the right path, not to rush for quick success, and not to do everything possible to take shortcuts.

Li Tie, born in 1977, was a Chinese men's football international when he was a player, and participated in the 2002 World Cup with the team. After retiring, Li Tie served as the head coach of many former Chinese Super League clubs such as Huaxia Happiness and Wuhan Zall. In January 2020, Li Tie became the coach of the Chinese men's football team. He led the team to participate in 10 World Preliminary Tournaments, winning 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. In December 2021, due to many controversies off the field, Li Tie resigned as the coach of the national football team.

In November 2022, Li Tie was subject to supervision and investigation on suspicion of bribery, bribery, bribery by units, bribery of non-state workers, and bribery of non-state employees, and on August 2, 2023, Li Tie was formally prosecuted, and is still in custody, awaiting the final ruling of the law.
