According to the Southern News Network, at 10 a.m. on September 10, the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China and the Ministry of Public Security held a special rectification press conference on fake gambling in the Football Professional League in Dalian, Liaoning Province. At the meeting, the person in charge of the Chinese Football Association introduced the disciplinary punishment of 61 football practitioners involved in the case. According to the "Disciplinary Guidelines of the Chinese Football Association", the Disciplinary Committee of the Chinese Football Association approved the punishment of Jin Jingdao and 43 others who were banned from engaging in any football-related activities in the mainland for life; 17 people, including Bahejiang · Wuerman, were banned from engaging in any football-related activities on the mainland for five years; Shen Liuxi, a former player of the Hangzhou Greentown team, has been sentenced to a lifetime ban on engaging in any football-related activities in 2013, and is still unrepentant.
It should be said that the parties concerned have also taken great pains and pains in choosing the time and place for the press conference. On September 10, the Chinese men's football team will play the second round of the World Cup qualifiers round of 18 against Saudi Arabia in Dalian, which is also the second strong opponent for the Chinese team after losing 0:7 to Japan in the first round. Releasing such news at such a critical moment, to a certain extent, is also a warning to all the players and related personnel, and at the same time, it is also a touch, whether it can shock the psychology of the players, and whether it can make the players show a new mental outlook in the game, so as to play a little bloody and a bit masculine game, it is also worth paying attention to. Moreover, since the relevant handling decision was announced in Dalian, I believe that the leaders of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China will also watch the game on the spot, and the performance of the players will naturally be unobstructed in the eyes of the leaders.
Judging from the situation that has been dealt with and punished, this round of anti-corruption in football has been very strong, and the effect is also very good; not only have corrupt elements been brought to justice, but also relevant personnel suspected of violating laws and disciplines but have not yet reached the level of criminal responsibility have also been given disciplinary punishments in accordance with relevant regulations, and as many as 43 people have been banned for life from engaging in any football-related activities on the mainland. Note that the word "any" is used. In other words, even if these people are former football people or are familiar with the football industry, they have been permanently lost to engage in football-related activities, including personal entrepreneurship, and cannot engage in football-related fields.
This kind of scraping therapy is extremely important for the current Chinese football. If the various toxins adsorbed in Chinese football are not removed, no matter how hard you try, invest, and care, it will be in vain, and there will even be more and more problems. Think about it, from the 2004 Super League to the present, how much manpower, material and financial resources have been invested, especially financial resources, if invested in other fields, the economic benefits must be very amazing. And when I put it into football, I didn't even turn over a bubble. Not only did it not turn over, but it blew up all the previous bubbles and polluted all the water. If you don't scrape the poison ruthlessly, Chinese football will be completely finished.
However, judging from the actual situation of Chinese football, if you are only satisfied with scraping drugs, it is obviously far from enough, but also to prescribe the right medicine and use fierce medicine. This is because many problems do not arise suddenly or accidentally, but accumulate over time, are mutually infectious, and even "teach by word and deed". For example, match-fixing has appeared not long after the start of the Chinese Super League, and it is accompanied by black whistles. The phenomenon of gambling has also happened from time to time in the past. Although there have been clean-ups, rectifications, and investigation and punishment of a number of corrupt elements over a period of time, there has been no drastic medicine or the use of a little hormone to solve the problem, which not only did not solve the problem, but made the soil of corruption more fertile and wider, so that the head coach could openly "sell" the indicators of the national team players. And the players who play match-fixing have no scruples.
How to fundamentally eradicate the soil of these problems is the fundamental problem that Chinese football needs to solve. Don't hope to make Chinese football strong by changing coaches, etc., it's unrealistic. What Chinese football needs to solve is to remove the soil that breeds corruption, and eliminate all kinds of genes that may cause corruption, match-fixing, and gambling. On this basis, it is necessary to establish a strict football management mechanism and supervision mechanism, and not just pay lip service to supervision and constraints, but must be put into action to prevent corruption and other problems from taking root. Among them, the Chinese Football Association must be market-oriented, and the chairman of the Chinese Football Association and its related personnel must be selected and appointed through the market mechanism, rather than administrative appointment. Administratively appointed FA officials are at risk of lacking resistance in the face of corruption. On this basis, the performance of the duties of the officials of the Football Association shall be publicly reviewed by the club and the society, and those who are incompetent shall be replaced by the Football Association meeting in a timely manner to avoid new contradictions and problems. At the same time, improve the remuneration system for athletes and coaches, as long as the level of Chinese football cannot be improved, whether it is athletes or coaches, the salary level cannot be higher than 6-10 times the average salary of the whole society. There is a real correlation between an athlete's salary level and athletic performance, and it is important to ensure that the athlete's mental outlook on the field is closely linked.
In short, Chinese football should not only scrape the poison and heal the wounds, but also prescribe the right medicine, completely eradicate the soil of corruption, completely solve the phenomenon of false supervision, and truly make Chinese football a just, fair, open and transparent field, so that Chinese football will no longer hold a golden doll and beg for food.
