In the wave of anti-corruption in the sports world, the turmoil in the football world has just begun to ripple, and the volleyball world has not been spared. The former director of the Volleyball Management Center, Li Quanqiang, was arrested, an event that is like a stone thrown into the seemingly calm lake of volleyball, causing ripples. Whether these ripples will spread and bring more truths to light has become a question in the minds of many fans.
Famous journalist He Xiaolong's voice on social media seems to provide a clue to this question. He stated that when someone goes missing, it often means that the dragnet operation has quietly begun. Although the current volleyball circle presents a calm appearance, he asserts that there will definitely be more people involved in the volleyball world later. This view undoubtedly dropped a bombshell in the calm world of volleyball, triggering strong curiosity and speculation among fans about the subsequent situation of the Volleyball Management Center.
When exploring the possible problems in the Volleyball Management Center, Pan Zhichen, the predecessor of Li Quanqiang, came into people's field of vision. Pan Zhichen's experience can be called a struggle history. Born as a private teacher, he relied on his tireless efforts to transfer from the Bicycle Fencing Center to the Volleyball Management Center. At that time, the Chinese women's volleyball team was experiencing the pain of failure at the 2012 London Olympics. After the Paris Olympics, Yu Juemin refused to continue serving as the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, believing that he lacked the ability to lead the women's volleyball team forward.
During his tenure, Pan Zhichen's greatest achievement was to bring back Lang Ping's guidance and help the Chinese women's volleyball team win the Rio Olympic Games championship. At that time, Coach Lang Ping was working for Guangzhou Evergrande Women's Volleyball Team, where she was given an annual salary of 5 million yuan, which was difficult for the national team to match.
However, with his sincere three visits, Pan Zhichen moved Coach Lang Ping. Lang Ping returned to the national team, a decision that cost her a lot of income. But in the second year after her return, she led the team to win the runner-up of the World Championships, won the World Cup championship in 2015, and even stood on the podium of the Rio Olympic Games champion in 2016. Due to the annual salary limit of the national team, Pan Zhichen fully supported Lang Ping's "big national team" management model and actively promoted the development of the commercial value of the women's volleyball team. This allowed Lang Ping to obtain 12 endorsements, enhancing her own commercial value while winning honor for the country, and the women's volleyball players also benefited greatly.
"Power is a double-edged sword, it benefits the country and its people if used well, but if not, it harms the nation." Although Pan Zhichen had certain achievements in the work of the women's volleyball team, he failed to grasp the scale of power in his hands. During his tenure, he took advantage of his position to provide assistance to Beijing Tai Ao Sports Culture Development Co., Ltd., Zhong Ao Sports Industry Co., Ltd., Liaoning Sports Bureau and other eight units in applying for, participating in sports events, becoming event suppliers, etc., and received bribes of 930,000 RMB and 50,000 US dollars. After the incident was exposed, Pan Zhichen was arrested during his term of office and was finally sentenced to four years in prison.
Now, with Li Quanqiang's arrest, will this rekindle the storm of anti-corruption in the volleyball world, involving the remaining issues in the Pan Zhichen incident or more people related to it? We do not know. But what we can be sure of is that every step of exploration on the road of anti-corruption and clean government in the sports world is of great significance.
