Li Tie, the famous Chinese men's football player who once galloped on the green field, is now standing on the stage of public trial as a prisoner.
On March 28, a 12-hour trial not only uncovered the tip of the iceberg of Li Tie's violations of law and discipline, but also another blockbuster incident in the anti-corruption storm in Chinese football.
Li Tie, a player who once played in the World Cup with the national team, gradually got lost in the whirlpool of money and power after transforming into a professional coach - from the Hebei team to Wuhan Zall, he used his position to let the team intervene in match-fixing, and even colluded with opponents to stage "tacit balls" in front of fans.
This kind of behavior of turning football matches into money transactions seriously violates the spirit of sportsmanship and brings irreparable losses to Chinese football.
Li Tie was suspected of a number of corruption crimes during his tenure as the coach of the national football team and the senior management of Wuhan Zall Club: it is reported that he illegally accepted more than 50.89 million yuan from 2019 to 2021, and also received 26.75 million yuan when he was the general manager and head coach of the club before;
This series of corrupt behaviors is not only shocking, but also chills the fans.
At the scene of the trial, none of Li Tie's relatives attended the hearing, perhaps because the disappointment with him had reached the extreme, and there was even news on the Internet that overseas has become the destination where Li Tie's wife Long Fei absconded with a huge amount of money, which is undoubtedly another blow to Li Tie's corruption.
After a 12-hour trial, the court announced that Li Tie was involved in more than 100 million yuan, and pleaded guilty in court, which not only set a new record for corruption in Chinese football, but also surpassed Chen Xuyuan, who was previously sentenced to life.
After the trial, netizens expressed their shock and anger - some denounced Li Tie for forgetting his roots and pursuing profits and betraying the football career, and some called for intensifying anti-corruption efforts in the football field and returning football to a pure land.
At the same time, some people expressed concern about Li Tie's future fate, believing that he could face severe legal sanctions.
The trial of Li Tie's case is not only a trial of his personal behavior, but also a warning to the anti-corruption work in Chinese football.
This trial undoubtedly sounded the alarm for those who are still on the verge of corruption, and the future of Chinese football needs to be guarded by every practitioner, so that football can return to its essence and make the green field shine again.
