The shady world of football: how Li Tie manipulated the Chinese men's football team is a passionate and competitive sport, and it is also a sport that requires integrity and fairness.
However, the recently exposed Li Tie case has raised serious questions about the moral standards of the football world.
According to reports, in order to achieve the goal of coaching the Chinese men's football team, Li Tie did not hesitate to use money, power and conspiracy, and even led to the resignation of the famous coach Lippi.
This incident has aroused strong concern and indignation among football fans, even exceeding the ratings of the hottest TV series "Flowers" at the moment.
This illustrates people's expectations and concerns about the football world, and also reflects the deep-seated problems in the football world.
Li Tie's ambition was not formed overnight, but after long-term planning and implementation.
He has used his connections and influence in the football world to build relationships of interest with all parties.
He proposed a beautiful vision for future cooperation to Wuhan Zall Club, which won the support and funding of the club, up to 2 million yuan.
He also paid 1 million yuan at his own expense to Liu Yi, an important figure in the Football Association, in exchange for his help and protection.
With Liu Yi's assistance and Chen Pier's approval, Li Tie's status gradually improved, and his goals became clearer and clearer.
However, to become the head coach of the Chinese men's football team, Li Tie still needs to overcome one of the biggest obstacles: Lippi.
Lippi is an internationally renowned coach who led Italy to the 2006 World Cup and China to the quarterfinals of the 2019 Asian Cup.
His understanding of football and coaching ability are incomparable to Li Tie.
Li Tie knew that if he wanted to replace Lippi, he could not directly confront him, but use a covert way.
His strategy is to make things difficult and disrupt Lippi's job in every way, whether it's the tactical arrangement on the pitch or the management of players off the pitch.
He deliberately made the players disobey Lippi's commands, showing fear and incompetence, which caused the team's results to plummet.
He also sowed division and discord within the team, leaving a lack of trust and unity among the players.
His aim was to make Lippi feel disappointed and frustrated, so that he voluntarily gave up coaching.
Li Tie's plan culminated in the Chinese men's football team's defeat to Syria.
This match is an important match in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, and the Chinese team should have gone all out to win.
However, the players showed a surprising slump and weakness on the pitch, unable to fulfill Lippi's tactical demands and show the fighting spirit they deserve.
In the end, the Chinese team suffered a 1-2 defeat and suffered its first defeat in the World Cup qualifiers.
After the game, Lippi angrily announced his resignation at a press conference, saying: "I don't want to comment on this game.
I'm very disappointed with the performance of the players, they didn't play the way I played and didn't show the spirit they should have.
It's my responsibility and I'm sorry for that.
Lippi's words made people feel his helplessness and sadness, and also let people see the internal problems of the Chinese men's football team: lack of integrity, lack of teamwork, lack of fighting spirit.
Lippi's resignation paved the way for Li Tie's ascension, and he was soon appointed head coach of the Chinese men's football team.
However, this does not mean that the problems of the Chinese men's football team have been solved, on the contrary, it may lead to more problems.
Li Tie's coaching style and philosophy are very different from Lippi's, and he focuses more on financial interests and personal power than on the essence and spirit of football.
He also has his own criteria and preferences for the selection and use of players, and he prefers players who can provide him with money or support rather than those who are genuinely capable and passionate.
In this case, the naturalized players of the Chinese men's football team, especially Ackerson, have become victims.
Exxon is an excellent striker of Brazilian descent, who has scored a number of wonderful goals in the Chinese Super League and has also contributed to the Chinese national team.
He joined the Chinese national team in the hope of helping them make a difference at the World Cup, but he found himself marginalized and isolated in Li Tie's system.
He revealed in an interview that he felt like he had no friends in the team and was not respected and trusted.
"I played for the Chinese team out of love, not for money," he said.
I want to play for China in the World Cup, it's my dream.
However, I felt like I didn't have a place in the team, no one understood me, no one supported me.
It's hard for me to fit into the team, I'm lonely.
Ackerson's words moved people and made people see another problem of the Chinese men's football team: lack of tolerance, lack of respect, and lack of love.
Li Tie's coaching did not bring any benefit to the Chinese men's football team, but only worsened the team's situation.
Under his leadership, the performance of the Chinese men's football team in the international arena has been sluggish and has not achieved any satisfactory results.
The morale and confidence of the team have also been low, and some even think that the loss is a relief.
Under such circumstances, how can the Chinese men's football team show its style on the stage of the World Cup? The exposure of Li Tie's case has given people a deeper understanding of the dark side of the football world, and also made people worry about the future of the football world.
Football is not just a sport, it's a culture and spirit.
Football needs integrity, justice, unity, fighting spirit and love, not money, power, intrigue and profit.
Li Tie's actions not only damaged the image and reputation of the Chinese men's football team, but also hurt the hearts and beliefs of football fans.
We hope that the football community can learn from this incident, carry out deep reflection and reform, rebuild the essence and spirit of football, and make football a sport full of passion and competition, as well as a sport that requires integrity and fairness.
Li Tie repented, Chen Xuyuan apologized, Du Zhaocai blamed himself, and the anti-corruption blockbuster of Chinese football sparked heated discussions On January 6, 2024, CCTV broadcast an anti-corruption feature film about Chinese football "Continue to Make Efforts to Promote in Depth", exposing a series of corruption cases in the field of football, which shocked and indignant the majority of fans.
In this feature film, the most eye-catching thing is the appearance of Li Tie, the former coach of the national football team, Chen Xuyuan, the former vice chairman of the Football Association, and Du Zhaocai, the former secretary general of the Football Association, who all confessed their crimes in front of the camera and expressed their apologies to the country and fans.
These former football players and high-ranking officials have now become criminal suspects, and their experiences and mentality have aroused people's deep thinking and discussion.
Li Tie: I regret it very much, and I want to take the right path in a down-to-earth manner Li Tie is a generation of famous players in Chinese football, who has had brilliant performances in domestic and foreign leagues, and is also the main force and captain of the national team, known as the "steel midfielder".
After retiring, he transformed into a coach, successively coached Hebei Huaxia Happiness, Wuhan Yangtze River and other clubs, and succeeded Lippi as the coach of the national football team at the end of 2019, leading the national football team to participate in the qualifiers for the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
However, in his second year of coaching the national football team, he was taken away by the police on suspicion of taking bribes, becoming the first national team coach in the history of Chinese football to be arrested.
In the feature film, Li Tie appeared after a long absence, his hair was still very long, but his expression was very haggard, he said to the camera: "I regret it very much, I think I still have to be down-to-earth and take the right path."
His words were simple, but they revealed his inner struggles and pain.
It is reported that the reason why Li Tie was arrested was because he also received a salary of up to 48 million in Wuhan Yangtze River during his tenure as the coach of the national football team, which violated the regulations of the Football Association.
At that time, Chen Xuyuan had advised him to return the money, but Li Tie not only did not listen, but also used Lippi's example to contradict Chen Xuyuan.
Li Tie's greed and arrogance eventually led to his downfall and also brought a huge negative impact on Chinese football.
Some people expressed sympathy and understanding for Li Tie's confession, believing that he was a talented coach who had just made a mistake and hoped that he could mend his life and return to football.
There are also those who express dissatisfaction and contempt, believing that he is a person with no morals, who has betrayed the interests of the country and fans for money, and should be severely punished by the law, and should not have the opportunity to coach again.
There are also those who doubt and question that he is acting, and that he has not explained all the problems, nor has he truly repented, but only said empty things in order to alleviate his guilt.
Either way, it reflects people's complex feelings about Li Tie, and it also shows that Li Tie's image has been seriously damaged, and it may not be easy for him to rebuild his reputation.
Chen Xuyuan: Deeply apologize to fans across the country Chen Xuyuan is also a generation of famous players in Chinese football, once the main striker of the national team, and the top scorer in the domestic league, known as the "Silver Fox".
After retiring, he also turned into a coach, once coached Shanghai Shenhua, Guangzhou Evergrande and other clubs, and also served as the coach and assistant coach of the national team, leading the national football team to participate in the 2002 South Korea-Japan World Cup and the 2004 Asian Cup.
In 2016, he became the vice chairman of the Chinese Football Association, responsible for the management and construction of the national team, and is one of the important decision-makers in Chinese football.
However, in his fourth year in office, he was also taken away by the police on suspicion of taking bribes, becoming the first vice president in the history of the Chinese Football Association to be arrested.
In the feature film, Chen Xuyuan also appeared for the first time, his hair has turned gray, but his expression is very sad, he said to the camera: "I want to deeply apologize to the fans across the country!" His words are very sincere, but they make people feel sad.
It is reported that the reason why Chen Xuyuan was arrested was because during his tenure as vice chairman of the Football Association, he took advantage of his position to accept bribes from many club owners and provided them with various conveniences and preferential treatments, including the selection of the national team, the arrangement of the league, the assignment of referees, and so on.
Chen Xuyuan's corruption and dereliction of duty have seriously damaged the fairness and justice of Chinese football, and also affected the development and progress of Chinese football.
Some people expressed respect and acceptance for Chen Xuyuan's apology, believing that he was a person who contributed to Chinese football, and he also did some useful work during his time in the Football Association, such as introducing Lippi, establishing a national team training center, promoting youth training reform, etc., and his mistakes should be tolerated and forgiven.
There are also some people who express anger and disgust, believing that he is a person who corrupts Chinese football, and he also did some harmful things during his time in the Football Association, such as interfering with the coach and lineup of the national team, disrupting the order and rules of the league, conniving at the referee's black whistle and favoritism, etc., and his crimes should be condemned and punished.
There are also some people who doubt and question, thinking that he is acting, he has not explained all the problems, and he has not sincerely repented, but just said some hypocritical things in order to reduce his guilt.
Either way, it reflects people's complex feelings about Chen Xuyuan, and it also shows that Chen Xuyuan's image has been seriously damaged, and it may not be easy for him to regain people's trust.
Du Zhaocai: I'm sorry country, I'm sorry football Du Zhaocai is also a generation of famous players in Chinese football, who used to be the main defender of the national team and the best defensive player in the domestic league, known as the "iron-blooded defender".
After retiring, he also turned into a coach, and has coached clubs such as Shandong Luneng and Qingdao Zhongneng, and also served as an assistant coach and general manager of the national team, leading the national football team to participate in the 2006 World Cup in Germany and the 2007 Asian Cup.
In 2010, he became the Secretary General of the Chinese Football Association, responsible for the daily operation and management of the Football Association, and is one of the core executors of Chinese football.
However, in his tenth year in office, he was also taken away by the police on suspicion of accepting bribes, becoming the first secretary general in the history of the Chinese Football Association to be arrested.
In the feature film, Du Zhaocai also appeared for the first time, his hair was already thinning, but his expression was very remorseful, he said to the camera: "I'm sorry for the country, I'm sorry for football."
His words were short, but they felt heavy.
It is reported that the reason why Du Zhaocai was arrested was because during his tenure as secretary general of the Football Association, he accepted bribes from a number of gambling groups and provided them with various information and protection, including the results of the national team's games, the league's schedule, the appointment of referees, and so on.
Du Zhaocai's bribery and collusion have seriously undermined the integrity and security of Chinese football, and also affected the reputation and level of Chinese football.
Some people expressed sympathy and tolerance for Du Zhaocai's self-blame, believing that he was a caring person, and that he had also done some meaningful things during his time in the Football Association, such as supporting the development of women's football, promoting football into schools, strengthening international exchanges in football, etc., and his mistakes should be forgiven and educated.
There are also those who express disgust and indignation, believing that he is a guilty person, and he has also done some harmful things during his time in the Football Association, such as conniving at the spread of gambling, destroying the credibility of football, harming the interests of football, etc., and his crimes should be investigated and punished.
There are also some people who express indifference and helplessness, thinking that he is an unrelated person, and he has not been able to make any changes during the Football Association, and the problems of Chinese football are not something he can solve alone, and his fate will not have any impact on Chinese football.
No matter which point of view it is, it reflects people's different attitudes towards Du Zhaocai, and it also shows that Du Zhaocai's status is no longer important, and it is probably not possible for him to restore his dignity.
Summary: The anti-corruption blockbuster of Chinese football is a profound reflection and warningFrom the confessions and apologies of Li Tie, Chen Xuyuan, Du Zhaocai and others, we can see that the anti-corruption blockbuster of Chinese football is a profound reflection and warning.
These former football celebrities, because of greed and ignorance, embarked on the road of breaking the law and committing crimes, which not only ruined their own future and reputation, but also brought great harm and shame to Chinese football.
Their lesson should make us wake up and reflect, football is a fair and just sport, we need to operate and develop with heart and integrity, we can't let money and interests blind our eyes and conscience, and we can't let gambling and corruption erode our souls and ideals.
We hope that Chinese football can come out of this crisis, regain confidence and dignity, start a new journey, and create more honor and happiness for the country and fans.
