Li Tie: A Monologue on Corruption in Chinese Football
The fourth episode of CCTV's anti-corruption feature film "Continue to Make Efforts to Promote the "Three Non-Corruptions" in One Piece" shocked and exposed systemic corruption in China's football field. Former national football coach Li Tie admitted in the film a series of illegal and criminal acts, from buying opponents to involving match-fixing, and he even used a huge amount of money to successfully surpass when he was in Hebei Huaxia Happiness Club. The revelation has attracted widespread attention and is a wake-up call to corruption in Chinese football.
Power trading: Li Tie asked the leaders of the Football Association at his own expense
Li Tie had the desire to become the head coach of the national team, so he asked the leaders of the Football Association at his own expense and bribed the club with 2 million yuan. Although he failed to achieve the expected results during his tenure in charge of the national team, he successfully introduced four Zall players into the national team through this power trade, which caused widespread doubts in society. This incident directly pointed to the unfairness of the national team selection system and shook the entire football circle.
Li Tie's bumpy experience and rumors of resignation
Li Tie, born in 1977, was a Chinese men's football international and participated in the 2002 World Cup. His football career later evolved into coaching, serving as the head coach of several Chinese Super League clubs and becoming the head coach of the Chinese men's football team in 2020. However, due to a number of controversies, he resigned as the coach of the national football team in 2021. This series of ups and downs laid the groundwork for his involvement in corruption incidents.
Surveillance Investigation and Legal Ruling: Li Tie's future fate is uncertain
In November 2022, Li Tie was suspected of accepting bribes and other crimes, and was investigated and formally prosecuted. He remains in custody pending the final decision of the law. Li Tie was once a shining star in Chinese football, but now his future fate is full of uncertainties, casting a shadow over the deep problems of China's football management system.
Wuhan Zall Contract: Blatant Exchange of Interests
CCTV's football anti-corruption documentary revealed that Li Tie had signed a contract with Wuhan Zall with a total of 60 million yuan to protect his interests. This blatant exchange of interests was revealed by Tian Xudong, the former chairman of Zall United, who believes that this is an obvious exchange of interests that raises serious questions about the fairness of the national team selection.
The deep dilemma of corruption in Chinese football
Li Tie's corruption reveals the deep dilemma of Chinese football, which is thought-provoking. Corruption in football is not limited to individual coaches and clubs, but is a reflection of the problems that exist in the management system as a whole. How to completely solve these problems and revitalize football in China is still a controversial topic. With the fermentation of Li Tie's case, the future fate of Chinese football is still uncertain, which has also become the focus of attention from all walks of life.
