The darkest moment of Chinese football! The national football Asian Cup is out, Li Tie and Chen Xuyuan plead guilty, and the Chinese Super League champion is disbanded
On January 23, Beijing time, before the first month of 2024 passed, Chinese football ushered in the darkest moment, and reached its lowest point with the exit of the Asian Cup of the national football team!
Li Tie, Chen Xuyuan, and Du Zhaocai pleaded guilty
On January 9, CCTV broadcast the last episode of the four-episode feature film "Continue to Make Efforts to Promote the "Three Non-Corruptions" as a whole", in which Du Zhaocai, former Secretary of the Party Committee of the Football Association, Chen Xuyuan, former chairman of the Football Association, and Li Tie, former coach of the national football team, became the "protagonists".
Facing the camera, Du Zhaocai, who accepted tens of millions of bribes, said: "In the interest hunt of club owners, some have gone with the flow. Chen Xuyuan, who also accepted a particularly large amount of bribes, confessed: "I want to deeply apologize to the fans across the country. Li Tie, who will be punished for several crimes, said: "I regret it very much, but I still have to be down-to-earth and take the right path." ”
The broadcast of the documentary marks that the anti-corruption storm in football has entered a new stage, and their crimes have not been fully exposed, and they will be tried in the near future, when the "old bottom" and "shady curtain" of Chinese football will be further revealed.
The Super League champions were disbanded
The Football Association has once again been pushed to the forefront, and the Chinese professional league has also been severely hit. On January 18, Dalian Ren Club announced its dissolution, although its predecessor was Dalian Albin, but the year of establishment on the team emblem was Dalian Shide in 1983.
On January 22, the Shenzhen club, the first champion of the Chinese Super League, announced its dissolution, and after all, it failed to survive the 30th anniversary of its founding. As a result, in the past five seasons, 7 Chinese Super League clubs have been disbanded, including Jiangsu Suning, which was disbanded after winning the championship.
In addition, the eight-time champion of the Chinese Super League, the Guangzhou team, is not having a good time, and is trying to find a way to save itself, but if it is not able to enter in the end, then I am afraid it will be difficult to escape the fate of disbandment.
The national football team is out of the Asian Cup
On January 23, the Chinese men's football team lost 0-1 to Qatar, 2 draws and 1 loss in the group stage of the Asian Cup, accumulating 2 points, 0 wins and 0 goals, ranking third, failing to qualify directly, creating the worst participation record in team history!
With the goal of the match between Syria and India in the evening, the national football team was sure that it could not become the third of the four best groups, and it was completely declared out and missed the round of 16! This is also the first time in 13 years that it has missed the knockout round of the Asian Cup.
From the Football Association to the league to the national team, Chinese football has completely collapsed and fallen into the darkest moment, but this is not the darkest time, it may not have come!
