The Chinese Super League in the domestic football world is underway, and large-scale governance actions are also underway. The case of former national football coach Li Tie is under investigation, and a black chain that controls the game is emerging. Li Tie was used as a breakthrough. During the investigation, the original mystery became bigger and bigger, and more and more people and clubs were involved, but the process of the matter was slowly revealing its true face. Chinese football is re-experienced the dark moments of the past ten years.
According to domestic media reports, Li Tie manipulated the game during his coaching Wuhan Zall in 2019. He used his connections and relationships in the football circle to accept requests from other clubs or actively manipulate Chinese Super League games. Among them, Wuhan Zall and Tianjin Tianhai have basically been determined to be manipulated in the two rounds of the 2019 season. These two games have triggered the names of two people, one is Li Tie, and the other is Zhang Lu , who was taken away later. The latter has currently missed the Shenzhen team's roster for a row, which is basically a real hit.
Of course, Zhang Lu is just the tip of the iceberg. Some media revealed that Li Tie gave the names of three players, Zhang Lu is one of them. The other two have not been confirmed yet. However, according to the player's information, one of them is Li Tie's fellow villager in Shenyang and later transferred to the Shenzhen team. He and Zhang Lu are teammates in Tianhai . Another one was an international fullback at the time and had been controversial in international competitions. These two information are very obvious directive, but since the Chinese Super League is in progress and the three players are former international players, the impact is great, so there is no clear who it is yet.
According to information, many people guess it is Jiang Zhipeng and Pei Shuai . However, former Shenzhen international fullback Jiang Zhipeng made an urgent clarification on his personal social media, and his teammate Pei Shuai praised and expressed support. At present, Jiang Zhipeng and Pei Shuai have not appeared on the Shenzhen team's roster for a long time, but both of them have not returned to the team for some reasons. Jiang Zhipeng is currently at home in Guangzhou and cannot return to the team due to objective conditions. Pei Shuai went home to do business because of the last stage. The coaching staff expressed dissatisfaction with his casual style and did not allow him to return to the team. Therefore, these two people should not be related to the Li Tie incident.
These players are actually just chess pieces that control the game. If the coaching staff or even the club's senior management does not agree, the players may not dare to take such a big risk for some self-interest. Therefore, the main problem lies with Li Tie and other senior management figures, and the players just follow the arrangements. Therefore, the chairman of Wuhan Yangtze Club and the senior executive in charge of finance also participated in the investigation. Just when we thought that the dark decade of domestic football has passed and the football rectification activities have achieved results, reality gave us another heavy blow.
