Chen Xuyuan and five others will be tried in Huangshi, Hubei Province, which will be an important milestone in the latest phase of the anti-corruption campaign in Chinese football. Chen Xuyuan, Dong Zheng, Yu Hongchen and other 5 people were all former high-level football associations or local football associations, and it is precisely because of what they have done that Chinese football is full of problems from top to bottom. There is a group of moths that have been gnawing at the already rudimentary framework of Chinese football, which makes our football environment worse and worse. Hopefully, through this trial, fans across the country will be able to wait for a satisfactory result.
Although the trial is public, it will not be completely public, and there will be no webcast, and only some people will be invited to observe. The scale of this trial is not particularly large, and 36 seats will be provided, and it is believed that the trial site should be full. After all, this is about the present and future of Chinese football, if the penalty is light, the fans will definitely not be satisfied, and it will not serve as a warning to the people behind, nor will it play a punishing role for Chen Xuyuan and these big fish. The amount of money involved in Chen Xuyuan's case has reached a particularly large amount, at least 10 years ago.
During the trial, Chen Xuyuan will be escorted by the bailiff to the corresponding position, and then enter the normal trial process, and the remaining 36 people will observe. Among these 36 people, there will also be media participation, and they are CCTV reporters. After the trial, there is a result, and there is a high probability that CCTV will be used as an outlet to broadcast and interpret it to the outside world, and we will always pay attention to this matter. It is indeed a pity that the trial cannot be live-streamed, otherwise this trial is likely to become the one with the highest number of viewers in China, after all, almost all fans in China will pay attention to this matter.
In the previous anti-corruption feature film broadcast by CCTV, Chen Xuyuan, Du Zhaocai and Li Tie appeared, and Chen Xuyuan showed remorse in the film, and even choked up for a while. He said that he was sorry for the fans and sorry for Chinese football. I hope that the outcome of this trial will make a reasonable judgment for him and make him pay the price completely. However, for Chen Xuyuan and others, the harm they have caused to Chinese football is far from being remedied by sanctions, and the problems they have created, I don't know how many people's efforts have been in vain, and I don't know how many people's efforts are needed to make up for it.
Also on trial on the same day as Chen Xuyuan were Chen Yongliang, minister of the State Administration of Management, and Liu Lei, a senior member of the Wuhan Football Association. The next day, there were also former vice chairman of the Football Association Yu Hongchen, and Dong Zheng, general manager of the Chinese Super League. 5 people were tried in 2 days, and 0 goals were scored in 3 games in the Asian Cup, such a big contrast is shocking. There is actually an inextricable link between the anti-corruption in football and the Asian Cup fiasco, if Li Tie's performance in the national football team was better, and the domestic Chen Xuyuan did not come up with policies such as neutral names, maybe Chinese football would be completely different now.
