Why did Li Tie refuse to return the 48 million, and how did the 48 million come from?
Today is the day of the trial of Li Tie, another heavyweight in the anti-corruption storm in Chinese football, which has attracted the attention of fans across the country, and many people are speculating whether Li Tie will also be sentenced to life imprisonment, no matter what, the damage that Li Tie has brought to Chinese football as the former head coach of the Chinese men's football team cannot be erased.
Soon after Li Tie was announced to be suspected of violating the law, Chen Xuyuan said in an interview that he had strongly persuaded Li Tie to return the 48 million yuan he received from the Wuhan Yangtze River Club, because the money was obtained by Li Tie in the position of head coach of the national team and did not meet the regulations. So how did the 48 million yuan come about?
Li Tie seems to be loyal and honest, down-to-earth, but in fact, he tends to be inflammatory, exquisite, and is very arrogant and domineering both as the general manager of a local club and in the national team. When Li Tie was the head coach of Hebei Huaxia Happiness Club, he bribed the head coaches and players of the rival club and other despicable means, so that the club succeeded in the final stage of the league with a wave of consecutive wins, and Li Tie became the most dazzling local head coach for a while.
Wuhan Zall Club took a fancy to Li Tie's strong connections in the Chinese football circle, so they invited Li Tie to continue to create miracles in Wuhan. When he first arrived at Wuhan Zall Club, Li Tie was appointed as the club's general manager and sports director, and in November 2017, Li Tie officially became the head coach of Wuhan Zall Club. The fact that he is thriving in the unfamiliar city of Wuhan is enough to prove that he has a high emotional intelligence.
After taking on the role of head coach of the club, Li Tie gradually became the real power figure of Wuhan Zall Club, serving as both the general manager and the head coach of the club, which is rare in the history of Chinese football. Given a few more years, I believe that Li Tie will be able to put the Wuhan Zall Club in the air.
Li Tie signed a five-year long-term contract with the Wuhan club, and the contract stipulates that the annual salary is 30 million yuan after tax, and there is also a signing fee of 18 million yuan, which is paid in 5 years, and Li Tie has become the local head coach with the highest annual salary in the history of the Chinese Super League. However, such a contract is an illegal operation and cannot be filed with the Chinese Football Association, so it can only be carried out privately. The 48 million yuan mentioned by Chen Xuyuan was obtained by Li Tie after serving as the head coach of the Chinese men's national football team in Wuhan Zall Club, and it is said that this money should be returned to the club, but Li Tie believes that there is no problem with the contract signed at that time.
Li Tie was not convinced, and even talked about the situation when Lippi was the head coach of the men's football team, when after Lippi served as the head coach of the men's national football team, Guangzhou Evergrande Club still paid part of Lippi's salary. Li Tie believes that he is in the same situation as Lippi, and the club has no problem continuing to pay salaries.
Therefore, the leaders of Wuhan Zall Club also made trouble with the General Administration of Sports, and the General Administration asked the Chinese Football Association to deal with the matter quickly, which led to Chen Xuyuan persuading Li Tie to return 48 million yuan to Wuhan Zall Club. But Li Tie refused to return it, and his ugly face was revealed.
