Football has material | In 2016, Yu Hongchen "helped" who was relegated? 3 clubs surfaced

When Chen Xuyuan, Yu Hongchen, Dong Zheng, and Chen Yongliang were convicted one after another, it was announced that the anti-corruption campaign in football had begun to come to an end.

And in the case of Du Zhaocai, Li Yuyi, Liu Yi, Li Tie, Ma Chengquan, Liu Jun, Wang Xiaoping, and other heavyweight suspects, before the trial, some of the clues that have been exposed are enough to shock the melon-eating masses, and the cases of the four former Football Association officials who were sentenced have involved many clubs.

During Chen Xuyuan's time in the Football Association, he was involved in more than 30 million yuan and accepted bribes from 9 clubs. Among them, 16 million sent by Huaxia and 2 million sent by Zall have been exposed. There are 7 clubs left, which have not yet surfaced.

During his tenure in the Football Association and the Athletics Association, Yu Hongchen accepted bribes of 22.54 million yuan, and 13 clubs accepted bribes from Yu Hongchen, of which 10 clubs asked for matters involving referee penalties and referee arrangements, and a club faced the risk of relegation in the 2016 season. Yu Hongchen arranged for his subordinates to greet the five Chinese Super League referees and helped the club succeed in relegation. The club with the largest amount of bribes came from Tianjin Quanjian, which had been disbanded, and collected 6.3 million.

Dong Zheng illegally accepted bribes from 23 clubs including Guangzhou Evergrande Taobao Club during the period of 14 to 21 years, with a total of more than 22 million bribes, of which Evergrande sent a single cash of 1 million to Dong Zheng in March 18.

Chen Yongliang illegally accepted a total of 19,344,440 yuan from more than 20 clubs, local football associations and individuals during the 15 to 22 years.

For the verdicts of these middle and high-level members of the Football Association, only the club with the highest amount of money has been exposed. In the documentary broadcast some time ago, Zall, Huaxia, Shenzu, as well as Quan Jian, who appeared in this trial, and Huaxia who appeared again, have all become the dust of China's professional football history, and Evergrande is the only club that is still active in Chinese football but has been named, which is also regarded as a very dangerous signal for the Guangzhou team.

Through the information that has been made public, we can also explore some clues.

Who bribed Yu Hongchen in 2016 for relegation?

In 2016, 16 Chinese Super League clubs, Yongchang and Zhejiang, were relegated that year and did not qualify.

Evergrande was the champion that year, Suning was the runner-up, Shanghai was in the top four, and the country was fifth; Huaxia was the second in the first half of the race, and the relegation points were in hand in the first half. Henan arrived at the relegation score line early, and began to train newcomers. Although R&F's record in the first half of the year was average, Zahavi gained momentum in the second half, and there seems to be no need for these companies to pay bribes for relegation.

The three clubs that were in the relegation zone that year, but have been disbanded, Liaozu ended up frequently encountering biases that year, and there was no way to appeal, which obviously does not look like the treatment that a club that spends money to get the top level of the Football Association should receive.

In Yanbian and Chongqing that year, when there were still 6 or 7 rounds left, they got rid of the gap of two or three games between the teams in the relegation zone, and there was little need for these two teams to publicize the Football Association. What's more, at the time of the trial, since this matter was taken out separately, if it was a disbanded club that gave money to Yu Hongchen, it would not cause any collateral impact, would it be named?

So in 16 years of this club, the three biggest "suspects" are Luneng, who only scored 11 points in the first half of that year and ranked first in the first half of the year, and TEDA and Yatai, who were thrilling in the last round of relegation that year.

Because Yatai finally came to a wave of magical 4 consecutive wins to relegate that year, and they played away from home, the referee's blowing did cause controversy. This is also the reason why many people associate Yu Hongchen with Yatai. But in fact, the so-called "danger" of relegation is not just that there are 4 rounds left in the penultimate place. The team that is in the bottom of the team with 11 points at the halfway point is also very dangerous. In the absence of any basis, we can only say that the club that bribed Yu Hongchen in 16 years is most likely in the three time-honored brands of TEDA, Yatai and Luneng.

The current 50 clubs in the third-level professional league of Chinese football (plus Team B of Taishan Port), in addition to the new army in the past two years, all have intersections with Chen Xuyuan.

These 50 clubs, theoretically, intersect with Dong Zheng's work before leaving the Football Association in 21 years, a total of 34.

After Chen Xuyuan joined the Football Association, he promoted Chen Yongliang to the head of the State Management Department, and then his business will not involve the league. From 15 to 19 years in the professional league, there are only 20 clubs left alive.

Yu Hongchen left the Chinese Football Association in 17 years, and there are even fewer clubs that have intersections with him at present.

In Chinese football, with the current trend in the past few years, it is actually not easy to survive for ten years. I am afraid that the club that bribed Dong Zheng, Chen Yongliang, and Yu Hongchen will have more than one time-honored club.

However, during Dong Zheng's tenure in the Football Association and the Chinese Super League Company under the Football Association, Fubaobao, he was mainly responsible for business development, and his influence on the competition was very limited. Yu Hongchen used to be the second-in-command of the Football Association and was in charge of the league all the year round, and Chen Yongliang was in charge of competitions and referees. These two and Chen Xuyuan both have the ability to "say hello" to the referee and influence the course of the game.

Perhaps it is precisely because Dong Zheng was in the Football Association before and was basically not responsible for the competition work, he will not affect the fairness of the league, nor will it affect the competitive level of the national brand; and the main purpose of this wave of anti-corruption in football is to investigate the problems of the league and the national team, so Dong Zheng did not touch the most "core" factor in this case. This is likely to be the reason why the amount involved in the case this time is not less than that of Yu Hongchen, and it is also more than that of Chen Yongliang's Dong Zheng, but the sentence is 5 or 6 years less than the two.

Of course, these high-level instructions can not only change the situation on the field, but also provide convenience for many clubs off the field.

For example, although it has not been confirmed, the senior management of the Football Association, which has already been tacitly accepted by the rivers and lakes, has received deep benefits and killed Tianhai.

Before Chen Xuyuan entered, there was also a new army that had only entered the Chinese football scene in recent years, and in order to maximize its interests off the field, Chen Xuyuan was contacted through an intermediary. After Chen Xuyuan entered, the middleman was lost for several months, and the club's top management also lost contact for a short time.

However, a year later, the club's appeal was finally met by Chen Xuyuan's successor!
