The first match-fixing of the young players from Evergrande Football School came earlier than usual.
On August 15, 2022, Nanyue Qingfeng website (the official website of the Guangdong Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision) issued a notice that the Guangdong Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection has established an investigation team to investigate the Men’s Football Group B A (U15) of the 16th Provincial Games. ) Guangzhou team investigated the suspected match-fixing incident of Qingyuan team in the final.
This means that the Provincial Games final, which shocked the Chinese football world a week ago, has finally gone beyond the angry discussion of fans and public opinion and has gone on to the serious path of organizing an investigation; at the same time, it also gave Guangzhou Football Association is a slap in the face, making the news it released about winning seem so ridiculous.
❶ A game that is incomprehensible
Let us think about it The schedule review released by the relevant personnel of the Guangzhou Football Association :
html On August 7, the men's Group A football match of the 2022 Guangdong Provincial Games came to an end. On the official day, the Guangzhou team and the Qingyuan team met again in the finals. The Guangzhou 07 men's football team did not give up easily when they fell behind 1-3. They scored 4 goals in a row to tie the score and take the lead. In the end, the Guangzhou representative team defeated the Qingyuan representative team 5-3. They fought back and came back to win the championship. As the champion of Men's Group B A in the Provincial Games football event, he also contributed 3 gold medals to the medal list of the Guangzhou delegation.
Based on the above description alone, fans may regret missing out on such an exciting and passionate event, and feel like they have lost a hundred million. But in fact the fans were wrong. If we look back at this game, we feel that we have lost not only money, but also IQ.
In the final on August 7, the Guangzhou team took the lead in the first 17 minutes, but after the Qingyuan team equalized the score in the 32nd minute, they did not celebrate with joy, but rushed into the opponent's goal to fish out the football. Saving kick-off time - Obviously, this proves the Qingyuan team's strong fighting spirit and urgent determination to win.
Sure enough, the Qingyuan team scored two goals in the second half, expanding the score to 3:1. Although there were not a large number of fans watching the game due to the epidemic, the morale of the Qingyuan team was greatly boosted. The players on the field actively ran, reminded each other loudly, and encouraged each other... Everyone was working hard to keep this championship at home.
However, the subsequent games actually entered an indescribable fantasy rhythm.
First of all, under a good situation, the Qingyuan team "decisively" replaced two absolute main players who performed well on the field, which made various football critics say "cannot understand".
And this is just the beginning. Later, the Guangzhou team used a controversial penalty kick to reduce the score, which heralded a complete reversal of the game's offense and defense. Sure enough, the Guangzhou team, which had been beaten before, was full of momentum, but the high-spirited Qingyuan team became weak in defense, watching their opponents adjust their bodies in a comfortable way and score a single goal.
Then the Qingyuan team’s goalkeeper made a major mistake and passed the ball directly to the Guangzhou team’s forward (the player in red), who passed the ball across, allowing his teammates to score easily.
At the last moment, when the Guangzhou team countered offside, none of the three Qingyuan players chased back. They watched like wooden stakes as the Guangzhou team scored the fifth goal.
In short, in the last 25 minutes of the game, the Qingyuan team was like a bewitched boy, wandering around the court in a daze. It was not until the end of the game that he "awakened like a dream":
The players gathered together silently, some clenched their fists and spat aside; some players covered their heads with sweat, and their faces were covered with sweat or something else. of liquid.
It is reported that during this game, Guangzhou Football Association Chairman Xie Zhiguang and Party Branch Secretary and Vice Chairman Ye Zhibin supervised the entire game and cheered for the team. At the award ceremony after the game, Wu Minchun (first from right), deputy director of the Guangzhou Municipal Sports Bureau, and Chairman Xie Zhiguang (second from right) attended together.
I just don’t know, what will the leaders think of this game?
❷ Jianghu is not a fight
Sadly, this game was held at the Evergrande Football School in Qingyuan City , and the Qingyuan team participating was actually the 07-year-old youth training echelon of Evergrande Football School (under 15 years old) youth team). The performance in the 64 minutes before the final allowed people to see the strength of Evergrande Football School, and also allowed everyone to see the purity and joy of football.
However, facts have proved that "geographical advantages + people and people" cannot replace "timing and timing". The latter is one of the important reasons for uncontrollable factors.
On the morning of the next day (August 8), the highlights of this game were fermented on the Internet and became a trending topic on Weibo. There was a lot of cynicism about Chinese football.
Because the game process was too outrageous, at 13:43 pm that day, the Chinese Football Association issued an announcement, announcing that it attached great importance to this and launched an investigation process. An investigation team will be formed to participate in the Competition Department, Discipline Inspection Department, and other departments. In August Went to Guangzhou for investigation on the 8th.
Due to well-known reasons, Boss Xu’s Evergrande Group has no time to take care of himself, let alone the football school that spends net money every year, so there are related remarks about him “leaving everything to the country”.
The supervisory unit of Evergrande Football School is likely to be the Guangzhou Sports Bureau.
According to people close to Evergrande ,
some football school students have begun to enroll in Guangzhou schools, but they still study and train at the headquarters.
It seems that the Qingyuan team's choice does have " unspeakable ".
Someone said that this may be related to the administrative pressure under the "performance theory", because according to the rules of the Provincial Games, the championship of the major sports event is equivalent to:
3 individual gold medals.
But the weight of the gold medal in the Provincial Games does not seem to be heavy enough to risk the world's disapproval, not to mention that the runner-up also counts two gold medals.
Perhaps, the content of the banner behind the award ceremony provides us with another perspective of thinking:
The 2022 "Star Selection Plan" for outstanding competitive junior talents in Guangdong Province-football project.
I checked the official introduction:
The "Star Selection Plan" was proposed by the General Office of the State Sports General Administration in May 2022. In response to the shortage of reserve talents in my country's competitive sports, the selection scope is not wide, the selection channels are not smooth, and the selection and training incentive mechanism Problems such as deficiencies should be dealt with A brand-new talent selection activity... which can be improved and supplemented on the basis of the existing competitive sports selection and training system, and further expands the scope of talent selection... By accepting recommendations and self-recommendations, testing and evaluation, training and selection, systematic training, A series of procedures such as recommendation and transportation, key training, etc., open up channels to transport outstanding reserve talents from the grassroots to the upper levels, and eventually to national-level training camps.
Further information shows that the first cycle of the "Star Selection Plan" is from 2022 to 2024. Guangdong Province launched the basketball selection in Dongguan on July 22. The Men's Football Group A (U15) competition of the Provincial Games is a selection competition for football events. In the subsequent provincial team training, will recommend talents to sprint for the 2024 Paris Olympics, , and prepare for the 2025 National Games.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand. In the post-match interview, Yang Zhanpeng, the young player of the Guangzhou team who completed a hat trick in this game, said:
This final was extremely difficult. I would like to thank my teammates for their joint efforts to win the game. But this is just a small step in my football career. I hope to bring glory to my country in the future and hope that Chinese football will get better and better.
Sure enough, plays football well, speaks well, and all of them are talented generals. It is actually the hope of Chinese football to "break out of Asia and go to Paris".
No wonder Guo Degang said:
Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, but about human nature. The first match-fixing of the young players from Evergrande Football School came earlier than usual.

No wonder Guo Degang said:

❸ Xu Jiayin and Evergrande Football School
Interestingly, Yang Wang, a well-known sports media person, published a special article in " Caixin", believing that the "handicap incident" on August 7 will inevitably lead to a crisis of trust in Guangdong football. It can be called the second "life and death disaster" encountered by southern football. As for the first "life and death disaster":
In 2010, Xu Jiayin waved a check, allowing the Guangzhou team to gain unprecedented achievements, and at the same time led to the collapse of the youth training system.
However, is this the case? Is the Evergrande Football School a face-saving project? I think this issue can be expanded upon.
Evergrande Football School was founded by Xu Jiayin in 2012 with a heavy investment (initial investment of 1.1 billion yuan) and is the largest football school in the world, with a cumulative investment of nearly 3 billion yuan so far. In terms of hardware investment, the school has complete basic education facilities from primary school to high school, as well as the most football training fields in the world (81); in terms of software investment, it not only hired the famous coach Lippi as the first principal, but also Youth training teachers are selected from certified coaches registered by the Spanish Football Federation .
What is heartbreaking is that although you are the world's largest football training school (currently enrolling more than 10,000 students), Evergrande has not received priority in selecting football reserve talents.
In other words, sports schools are the "favorites" of the government's cultural and educational departments. The process in practice is often:
① Sports schools maintain good relations with primary and secondary schools through the superior authorities (which are part of the same family as the education department) ;
② Physical education teachers in primary and secondary schools play the role of " scouts ", providing schools with preliminary information about outstanding young players;
③ Sports schools cooperate with schools at all levels to give priority to players of the right age. Because it is related to performance, leaders of some schools even visit homes in person to explain and persuade.
In a sense, my country's current basic football talent selection mechanism is still a combination of political system and training of by sports schools. Professional sports schools have the power to "select the top", and Evergrande Football School is at most the second choice ( Especially for youth training prospects from other places, local primary and secondary schools are often reluctant to let them go, and parents also have doubts about youth training with a high elimination rate. At this time, Evergrande Football School has even become the third choice).
If we make a simple analogy, professional sports schools at all levels are equivalent to well-supported public schools (such as the High School Affiliated to Renmin University, Changsha No. 1 Middle School , Zhenhai Middle School ). They have attracted local primary school leaders and have natural advantages in talent transportation; Evergrande is equivalent to an ordinary private school and can only pick and choose among the remaining seedlings.
It is worth noting that the evaluation indicators for high school education are actually relatively loose. Because after more than 20 years of enrollment expansion, the college entrance examination undergraduate admission rate has increased to about 50%. Even if super middle schools occupy the top spot of 985, ordinary middle schools can still train 211 or one or two students, which is still a successful example. But for young football players, this kind of competition is much crueler:
The only basis for measuring success or failure is whether they can become professional athletes.
However, my country’s professional football has been developing for more than 20 years, but its scale has shrunk instead of expanding, and the number of professional positions provided each year is quite limited. This means:
The competition between Evergrande Football School and professional sports schools is to at least provide C9 (the first nine universities in my country’s 985 key construction) level talents.
In this regard, Evergrande has natural shortcomings. Because competitive sports require talent, which often cannot be compensated by acquired skills and personal efforts. This is why Xu Jiayin has strengthened the elite student system of "free learning, training, competition, food, clothing, housing and transportation" since 2018, and invests more than 200 million yuan every year to focus on supporting the Stars of Hope.
This input is visible to the naked eye. For example, the Evergrande Football School Elite Team is equipped with physical coaches, goalkeeper coaches, rehabilitation therapists and technical analysts. Some professionals frankly stated that the coaching team configuration has reached the level of domestic Chinese League One teams.
Every time the elite team goes out to compete, it is equipped with a coaching team of 6-8 people. The youth team of the appropriate age (such as the 05 team) participates in nearly 90 domestic and foreign competitions every year.
In 2020, "Qilu Evening News" reported that Evergrande Football School invested approximately 250,000 yuan per person per year for elite students. If the official website of Evergrande Football School states that "the school has more than 1,000 elite students aged 9-18 years old" and Evergrande "spends more than 200 million yuan" for elite students every year, has a certain degree of credibility .
Some netizens questioned whether there is a shady selection process in the elite student system? I think it is unlikely that there will be systemic benefits in that feed . Because the current stage of Chinese professional football is really not a good business. The profession is not respected, the average income is not outrageous, and wages are often owed. Besides, which noble/rich kid is willing to go to northern Guangdong (Qingyuan) to be exposed to the sun and rain just to save money on training expenses?
In fact, there are many civilians among elite students. For example, Zhang Linyan, who shined at the Women's Asian Cup at the beginning of this year, was born in Jiangyou City, Sichuan Province. Recalling when she was selected by the Evergrande Football School in 2012, she said:
When registering, the football school proposed to pay 10,000 yuan in advance and refund it after arriving at the school. However, until departure, her family still did not have enough money.
Note: Zhang Linyan, a young player who has just joined Evergrande Football School
If it is a normal training model, it will be difficult for Zhang Linyan to realize her football dream in the face of an annual fee of more than 200,000 yuan.
According to statistics from the official website of Evergrande Football School, the football school has won a total of 126 domestic and foreign championships, and 481 people have been selected into the national teams of all ages. In 2021 alone, 41 players will be selected for the Evergrande first team and reserve team, and 29 players will enter the Chinese Super League , Chinese League One clubs and overseas clubs.
At the end of 2021, the Chinese Football Association announced the U16 national football training list (2005 age group). A total of 8 players from Evergrande Football School were selected, leading Luneng (7 people), Hubei (5 people), Shenzhen (5 people) and other youth training teams , ranked first.
In February 2022, the Football Association organized a national women's football elite training camp, and Evergrande Football School once again contributed 4 people. As for their family backgrounds, it seems that we can infer something from the following photos:
With limited talent selection, it is not easy for Evergrande to achieve such youth training results. Even if we don't say it is transcendent, at least it is above the standard.
Of course, this is inseparable from high standards of investment, not to mention the sweat and tears of the young football players. No wonder when Zhang Linyan was first selected for the national youth team, head coach Gao Hong commented:
She is always hungry, hungry, and she must ask what she did not do well.
Therefore, sports media person Yang Wang believes that Xu Jiayin’s Jinyuan Football has destroyed the youth training system and attributes all problems to the troubles of capital. This is a flattering statement and is completely in line with the current political correctness.
The problem is that we are all Chinese, so why bother pretending to be foreign guests.
Xu Jiayin should definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of China's development. His wanton behavior and refined self-interest make people completely unfavorable. But when it comes to problems in Chinese football, we must look at the facts and not throw dirty water on the head of Xu Jiayin who has lost power, thereby making others look white and flawless, even like the sterling silver angel on the Rolls-Royce car logo, "bling" bling" with divine light.
In such an atmosphere, there is really no hope for Chinese football.
❹ Game of Thrones
html On August 15th, the Guangdong Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision was involved in investigating the "handicap incident", which shows that the nature of the matter is changing: this is not just a matter of how the football world plays behind closed doors, the board will fall on Guangzhou Football Association and related departments are on the butt.
I think this is great and deserves 10,000 likes.
In 2017, the smug Xu Jiayin published a book with eye-catching red fonts printed on the cover:
Suffering is my precious wealth.
Perhaps, for a tycoon like Boss Xu who is made of special materials and tramples on all the rules of the world, suffering may still be difficult to stop his rise; but in the current era when social solidification is beginning to take shape and the economic situation is turbulent. Under the circumstances, for ordinary families and simple football students, a man-made suffering is likely to change their lifelong destiny.
The fate of ordinary people cannot withstand hardships, just as suffering is never worthy of praise.
In fact, compared to the Guangzhou team, this trial is of particular significance to the 2007 youth team of Evergrande Football School (i.e. U15 Qingyuan team), which is in turmoil. Especially as the Evergrande Group is deeply involved in rumors of reorganization and the football school is in precarious situation, the desperate struggle of these players is not only driven by the dignity of "Princes and generals would rather live", but also has real short-term incentives. :
According to the "Technical Level Standards for Football Players" formulated by the Chinese Football Association , in the provincial comprehensive sports meeting, the first place in Group B (U13-U15) can be awarded to 5 first-level athletes titles, and the second place will be awarded 3 people.
Do you think this is just one more champion and two more first-level athletes? It is actually related to the issue of admission to excellent universities:
Although in theory, national second-level athletes can be admitted to universities. But at this stage, the university is also very involved . Only with the title of first-level athlete and a solid provincial games champion can it be qualified to pursue the 985 or even the Qingbei level.
For example, Dong Ge's "milk tea sister " was successfully recommended to Tsinghua University because she was a national first-level athlete (national aerobics champion).
A malicious association is that ordinary children who play football in the mountains of northern Guangdong will have an explanation if they can be admitted to an ordinary university. The limited and precious quota must be used wisely...
Thinking like this, is it okay?
As for 's long-term motivation to ... If they miss the next Olympic trials and National Games, how many stages will these children from Evergrande Football School have to show themselves in the future?
What is quite black humor is that after the game that day, Guangzhou team player Tang Tianyi, who created the key penalty kick, said in an interview with reporters:
The four years of preparation for the Provincial Games was not easy. I am very grateful to the coaching staff. Stick with your teammates until now.
However, in fact, it is even more difficult for the players of the Qingyuan team. They not only have to insist on preparing for war in normal times, but also take the overall situation into consideration at critical times and carry forward the style of "friendship first, competition second".
is so precocious and sensible that "poor children become masters early", it is so skillful that it makes people feel distressed.
Yes, they just want to sweat and pursue a chance of fair competition; even if they are eliminated by fate, they can face the next road of survival with a clear conscience. But now, their fate may have been quietly changed.
is where the dream begins.
I vaguely remember that more than ten years ago, after Evergrande launched its silver bullet offensive, a friend from a northern province once said to me sourly:
Golden dollar football and its RMB are no longer separated from now on.
But history proves that we are still too young to understand Hayek these words in " The Road to Serfdom ":
Money is one of the greatest tools of freedom ever invented. In existing society, only money is open to the poor.

To the left is heaven, to the right is the golden basin, with the bow drawn and the string broken, moving forward indomitably. This account focuses on finance and people's livelihood. Although it is for my own entertainment, I still want to gain a foothold in the practical news! Welcome to follow and forward!

Under the circumstances, for ordinary families and simple football students, a man-made suffering is likely to change their lifelong destiny.
The fate of ordinary people cannot withstand hardships, just as suffering is never worthy of praise.
In fact, compared to the Guangzhou team, this trial is of particular significance to the 2007 youth team of Evergrande Football School (i.e. U15 Qingyuan team), which is in turmoil. Especially as the Evergrande Group is deeply involved in rumors of reorganization and the football school is in precarious situation, the desperate struggle of these players is not only driven by the dignity of "Princes and generals would rather live", but also has real short-term incentives. :
According to the "Technical Level Standards for Football Players" formulated by the Chinese Football Association , in the provincial comprehensive sports meeting, the first place in Group B (U13-U15) can be awarded to 5 first-level athletes titles, and the second place will be awarded 3 people.
Do you think this is just one more champion and two more first-level athletes? It is actually related to the issue of admission to excellent universities:
Although in theory, national second-level athletes can be admitted to universities. But at this stage, the university is also very involved . Only with the title of first-level athlete and a solid provincial games champion can it be qualified to pursue the 985 or even the Qingbei level.
For example, Dong Ge's "milk tea sister " was successfully recommended to Tsinghua University because she was a national first-level athlete (national aerobics champion).
A malicious association is that ordinary children who play football in the mountains of northern Guangdong will have an explanation if they can be admitted to an ordinary university. The limited and precious quota must be used wisely...
Thinking like this, is it okay?
As for 's long-term motivation to ... If they miss the next Olympic trials and National Games, how many stages will these children from Evergrande Football School have to show themselves in the future?
What is quite black humor is that after the game that day, Guangzhou team player Tang Tianyi, who created the key penalty kick, said in an interview with reporters:
The four years of preparation for the Provincial Games was not easy. I am very grateful to the coaching staff. Stick with your teammates until now.
However, in fact, it is even more difficult for the players of the Qingyuan team. They not only have to insist on preparing for war in normal times, but also take the overall situation into consideration at critical times and carry forward the style of "friendship first, competition second".
is so precocious and sensible that "poor children become masters early", it is so skillful that it makes people feel distressed.
Yes, they just want to sweat and pursue a chance of fair competition; even if they are eliminated by fate, they can face the next road of survival with a clear conscience. But now, their fate may have been quietly changed.
is where the dream begins.
I vaguely remember that more than ten years ago, after Evergrande launched its silver bullet offensive, a friend from a northern province once said to me sourly:
Golden dollar football and its RMB are no longer separated from now on.
But history proves that we are still too young to understand Hayek these words in " The Road to Serfdom ":
Money is one of the greatest tools of freedom ever invented. In existing society, only money is open to the poor.
