"There is a kind of corruption, which only exists in the sports world!"
As one of the most aura athletes in China, Qi Hong's performance on the court also made countless fans cheer, and he has become a "shadow striker" sought after by tens of millions of fans, and he was once called "Trident" with Fan Zhiyi and Xie Hui.
thought that he would be able to continue to create brilliance on the field, but what was unexpected was that in the 2003 A-A finale match between Shanghai International and Tianjin TEDA, he sold his team for 2 million and played match-fixing on the field.
After all, the French Open has been restored, and he has also paid a terrible price for his actions, and in this way, the former hero was not only imprisoned, but also became a stain on Chinese football......
Bad decisions
At the end of 2001, the Shanghai Shenhua Club was reorganized, and at this time Shen Si saw hope, after all, when he was in the old Shenhua, Shen Si was not in line with the requirements of "rushing to encircle" because of his technical characteristics, which led to him being pressed by Xu Genbao on the bench.
The original article was published in Shenjiang Service Herald on March 23, 2012, about the two brothers went to prison to reveal how Shen Siqi Hong participated in the match-fixing case
Seeing that the time was ripe, Shen Si submitted an application for transfer, and at this time, Xu Genbao also knew that he did not agree with his concept, so he did not stop it, but what he didn't expect was that Qi Hong, the "baby" in his heart, submitted a transfer application directly to the registration office of the Chinese Football Association without warning.
After all, for Qi Hong, Shen Si is his partner in cooperation, and only two people together can better complete the game, which is actually the same as a "good buddy" in reality, plus watching Shen Si leave the team, it means that the opposite family must have good development prospects.
So Qi Hong decisively applied for a transfer, and I have to say that after the transfer of Qi Hong and Shen Si, their club made a move that no one dared to think, that is, when signing the contract, Qi Hong's annual salary was offered at a high price of 3 million, and Shen Si's annual salary reached 2.5 million.
Not to mention how rich such a salary was in that era, even now, it is still an astronomical amount in the eyes of many people, and in the subsequent games, they also cooperated very tacitly, which made the club feel that the annual salary of the two was worth having.
But in the 2003 competition, a fierce war was launched, when Shanghai COSCO team still had the possibility of winning the championship, but in order to win the championship, Zhang Yifeng, the boss of Tianjin TEDA, asked COSCO investor Xu Zexian for 12 million yuan for 3 points, and Xu Zexian directly refused in the face of the temptation of interests.
Even the organizers found a loophole in this rule, so in order to be able to carry out a fair match, the football league department issued a document to all clubs, and asked them to pay attention to such behavior, and resolutely resist the temptation of profits.
Seeing that Xu Zexian didn't buy it, this made Zhang Yifeng anxious, so in order to be able to buy off the athletes, he found Nan Yong, vice chairman of the Football Association, to do ideological work for them, after all, in the face of interests, Nan Yong quickly sank, so at his instigation, he took out 6 million yuan to make the core players of the COSCO team bigger.
This includes Qi Hong, Shen Si and others, Jiang Jin, Xiao Li Ming, so under the temptation of interests, they agreed to this request, and in the next game, they lost to Tianjin TEDA with a score of 1 to 2, because the performance was too realistic, many fans did not see the abnormality.
The French Open is magnificent
Although many viewers didn't see it, but after all, "paper can't hold the fire", many professionals felt puzzled when watching this game, and even thought that this was "the most incomprehensible game in China".
The original article was published on China Broadcasting Network on March 24, 2012 on the new news of anti-gambling and anti-crime in football: the report that former international player Jiang Jin Qi Hong Shensi was arrested
In August 2009, the Ministry of Public Security of the mainland set up a special "anti-gambling and anti-gang" task force, and aimed at this kind of corruption in Chinese football, and on October 12, 2010, Shen Si, who was serving as the head coach of the Shanghai Zhongbang team, was taken away by the police to assist in the investigation.
Of course, at the same time, Qi Hong was also taken away by the Shenyang police to assist in the investigation, but for various reasons, it was not publicly reported for the first time, until the matter came to light, and the media reported it.
In the end, after the trial of the Shenyang Intermediate People's Court, Jiang Jin, Qi Hong and Xiao Liming were sentenced to 5 years and 6 months in prison, Shen Si was sentenced to 6 years in prison, and Xie Yalong and Nan Yong, the two former vice presidents of the Football Association, were sentenced to 10 years and 6 months in prison and fined 200,000 yuan.
Life after being released from prison
In 2016, after Qi Hong was released from prison, he refused a lot of interviews, after all, in his eyes, his behavior has deeply hurt the fans who once supported him, and he is speechless in the face of these people, but it can be seen from the photos circulating on the Internet that he has indeed experienced a lot of vicissitudes in recent years.
This article was originally published in Guangzhou Daily on August 12, 2019 about the controversy caused by Qi Hong's appointment as a director of the club
As a result, he was rarely seen on the Internet, until 2019, when he appeared in the public eye at the 2nd Youth International Football Challenge, and it also caused a lot of controversy.
That is, he had been banned from participating in football-related activities before, but in this game, people found out that the director and technical director of the Shanghai Lucky Star team turned out to be Qi Hong, which also ushered in people's dissatisfaction, after all, how could he participate in football activities? Isn't this a violation of the laws of the time?
However, it is reported that his annual salary for this job is only 100,000, compared with the million salary in the club at the beginning, I wonder if he will regret it?
epilogue
For Qi Hong's experience, some people feel sorry for this, but some people feel angry, maybe if it wasn't for the wrong move at the beginning, he would not have fallen to this point, and it is very likely that he will play his own light and bring us a more exciting game.
I wonder what everyone thinks about this? Welcome to leave a message below to discuss!
