On the 10th, there was an incident that clearly showed this. That is the fourth part of China's anti-corruption documentary, Continuous Efforts, In-depth Promotion.
The documentary revealed the "backdoor deal" in the Chinese soccer community, which began with "Rite," which shook the soccer world.
- Chinese club football. Behind the scenes
The disclosed amount alone is 10 billion units.
Myung-jing, who was the co-CEO of Hwasha Xingfu at the time, recalled in a documentary, saying, "We spent 14 million yuan (2.5 billion won) on one game alone to create Hwasa Xingfu's "promotion myth."
Huashia Xingfu won a miraculous eight consecutive games in the league's last eight games and made it to the promotion. The coach at the time was Li Tie, who is now the biggest contributor to combating corruption in Chinese soccer.
"We needed a way to win 100 percent. What was left was the result," said Zeng Bin, who was coaching Hua Xiaoxingfu with Li Tie, explaining how the match-fixing took place.
Wuhan Jewel (currently Wuhan Changjang), who once attracted public attention for match fixing, was on the verge of being demoted in the second division, recruited him to recreate coach Li Tie's myth.
Li Tie also helped Wuhan Jewel to reach the Super League in 2019 by achieving the top spot in the league through a large amount of back-to-back deals. At the time, Wuhan Jewel's chairman, Tian Xue, explained the situation at the time, saying, "Coach Li Tie proposed a match-fixing for the first time. I wondered if it was Li Tie I knew."
- China national team
It was natural for coach Li Tie, who wrote the myth of promoting the two teams, to become the national team.
However, there was also a backdoor deal. Li Tie handed over 2 million yuan to Chen Xuyuan, then president of the Korea Football Association, and 1 million yuan to Liu Yi, secretary general of the association, amid lobbying by Wuhan Jewel.
According to sources, Li Tie, who became the national team member, led exchanges between some members of the Chinese Football Association and those of Wuhan Jewel in return. Naturally, the purpose of this occasion was to look after the Chinese Super League. This is because the Chinese Football Association is the main body that runs the Chinese Super League.
Li Tie also received 60 million yuan (11 billion won) in bribes to select four Wuhan Jewel players for the national team.
"I knew our players were not capable of joining the national team, so I couldn't help but be embarrassed when I saw the list," Wuhan German Chairman Chen Xu-dong said.
At first glance, Wuhan Jewel seems to have no profit except for enhancing the company's image. However, the story changes when entering the youth system.
Under the title of "Promotion to the First Division – Production of Current National Team," the team can have an edge over other teams in youth business, and many wealthy people may seek side effects such as sending their children to the academy by paying back money. This means wealth.
- the result
The end was arrogance. Li Tie, who managed Wuhan Jewel and the Chinese national team at the same time, used his position as the national team coach to promote various products through social media as well as to make provocative comments to soccer fans and media, including naturalized player Mi Bal-tak, who blamed China's loss.
In the end, corruption reports from all walks of life continued, starting with the media that knew the whole story, and Riteh resigned officially on December 3 and faced investigation by the investigating authorities, starting with an intense investigation into corruption in November 2021.
This is also the charge that Son Joon-ho's former team, Ha Wei, the head coach of Shandong Taishan, is facing. In addition to being accused of requesting match fixing through bribery, allegations of inflating ransom through renewal of contracts with specific players, receiving kickbacks from players, and defrauding them as private interests were also targeted by Chinese authorities.
In China, Messi is plowing the fields. It is no longer about catching floating clouds. Indeed, many of the talented youngsters may be plowing the fields without breaking through the "backdoor deal" of Chinese soccer, which is systematized and fixed.
