In the wave of anti-corruption in China's sports world, a series of corruption cases in the football field once attracted widespread attention from society. With the fall of former national football team head coach Li Tie and former FA chairman Chen Xuyuan, among other key figures in the football world, people originally thought this would be the climax of anti-corruption in China's sports world. However, just one month after the dust settled on the Li Tie case, another piece of explosive news broke out in the Chinese sports world: Li Quanqiang, the former director of the Volleyball Management Center of the General Administration of Sport, is under investigation for multiple serious violations. This news has shocked the sports world. Among many sports projects, volleyball, especially women's volleyball, has always been a bright card for Chinese sports. The Chinese women's volleyball team, with its "five consecutive championships" and the spiritual core of the "women's volleyball spirit," has repeatedly achieved remarkable results on the international stage, winning glory for the country. However, the downfall of Li Quanqiang has uncovered the possible shadows behind this shiny business card. The 63-year-old Li Quanqiang, as the top leader of the Volleyball Management Center of the General Administration of Sport, has indeed made certain contributions to the development of Chinese volleyball during his tenure. He vigorously promoted the professionalization process of Chinese volleyball, and under his leadership, the influence of Chinese volleyball has been significantly enhanced, with increasing attention to men's and women's volleyball leagues and continuously improving commercial value. However, the concentration of power may…

In the summer of 2002, following China's participation in the World Cup, a significant news story emerged: Li Tie and Li Weifeng joined Everton. Although not a top Premier League team, Everton is an established club, and the acquisition of two Chinese players was seen as a direct result of the World Cup effect. Sponsorship by Kejian Kejian Company bought out Everton's chest advertising for two years at a cost of 2 million pounds, with an additional clause stipulating the introduction of a Chinese player (or two, one being a starter). This clause seemed unusual, but Everton had limited options. As a mid-to-lower table Premier League team, Everton's strength and commercial value fell short of their local rivals, Liverpool. Manager David Moyes already had plans to select cost-effective Asian players, so there was no conflict between his intentions and the sponsorship deal. Moyes himself scouted during the group stage of the World Cup, evaluating players. While Kejian provided the key to Everton, it cannot be said that Li Tie and Li Weifeng's move to the Premier League was solely due to Kejian's influence. Selection Criteria From a pool of over twenty Chinese national team players, Moyes would not choose veterans or newcomers; he preferred players in their prime. This meant that experienced players like Fan Zhiyi and Zhang Enhua, who had previously played abroad, were not top choices due to their age. The selection narrowed down to players like Li Tie, Zhao Junzhe, and Xu Yunlong. Moyes urgently needed a defensive midfielder to partner with Thomas Gravesen, making Li Tie…

The anti-corruption storm in China's sports world continues to spread, and the volleyball world has not been spared. Just as everyone thought that the Li Tie case was nearing its end, a major news broke in the volleyball world: Li Quanqiang, the former director of the Volleyball Sports Management Center who retired two and a half years ago, has been investigated! Li Quanqiang is a heavyweight figure in the volleyball world, and his actions have a significant impact on the entire industry. Li Quanqiang worked in China's volleyball world for 25 years, from 1997 to 2022, holding high-level positions throughout. He served as the leader of both the men's and women's teams before retiring as the director of the Volleyball Sports Management Center. His status in the volleyball world was almost unshakable, earning him the nickname "the invincible one" in the volleyball world. Li Quanqiang is from Shenyang and started his career at the State Physical Education Commission's Science and Education Department after graduating from Shenyang Physical Education College. In 1997, he joined the volleyball system, serving as the director of the Volleyball Management Center's office, and later became the leader of the men's and women's teams. In March 2006, he was promoted to deputy director of the Volleyball Management Center, and in February 2017, he became the director of the Volleyball Sports Management Center under the General Administration of Sport of China, retiring in August 2022. Under Li Quanqiang's leadership, the Chinese women's volleyball team achieved many honors. The most glorious achievement was co-leading the Chinese women's volleyball team…

The anti-corruption storm in China's sports world, from football to table tennis and beyond, seems to be playing out like an "annual drama," with each revelation akin to a scripted climax. The audience is both shocked by the fall of those once lofty "big shots" and can't help but wonder: how many untold stories lie behind this? Let's start with football, a field where the "black gold jungle" has long been notorious. Li Tie was sentenced to 20 years in prison, and Chen Xuyuan received a life sentence, a severity that almost amounts to "removing the bottom of the pot" for the entire Chinese football world. But the question is, can such deterrence make Chinese football "turn over a new leaf"? The answer is probably not that optimistic. After all, football has deteriorated to this point not just because of a few "Li Ties" or "Chen Xuys," but due to systemic problems that have accumulated over the years. From grassroots training to professional leagues, corruption, interest transfers, and power-money transactions lurk at every level. This anti-corruption campaign may have cut down the most conspicuous "trees," but it's far from enough to cure the "forest disease." Now let's look at table tennis, once hailed as the "cleanest sanctuary." It too has been implicated. Wang Zhongqi, the former chairman of Henan Table Tennis Association, was suddenly investigated and overnight turned from a "meritorious figure" into a focus of public opinion. How dramatic is this plot? He had just won an award for successfully introducing the WTT World Cup Finals, yet behind the…

In 2022, a major event occurred in Chinese football. Li Tie, the former head coach of the national men's football team, was taken away by relevant authorities for investigation. The news quickly sparked widespread discussion. Football is a sport that many Chinese people are passionate about, and Li Tie's arrest was quite shocking. After the investigation, Li Tie's case was concluded. He had repeatedly abused his power for personal gain, using football as a tool to obtain benefits, with crimes that were simply too numerous to list! Li Tie's crimes go beyond bribery; he also blocked the men's football road to the World Cup... Li Tie's arrest happened quite suddenly, surprising not only the outside world but even Li Tie himself, who had received no wind of it. On November 3, 2022, the Chinese Football Association was preparing to hold a training event for coaches. At this time, although Li Tie was no longer the head coach of the national team, he remained active in the coaching field and held positions at local clubs. After receiving the training notice, Li Tie drove to the training location according to the schedule. Little did he know that this trip would be one-way. During the training, Li Tie was suddenly called away. Everyone assumed it was a friend who needed him, so they didn't think much of it. However, after waiting for a long time, Li Tie did not return. As the training ended and it was time for a group photo, Li Tie was still nowhere to be seen, causing concern among…

After half a year, 67-year-old Chen Xuyuan returns to Shanghai and may meet Li Tie in prison, with all the details of his final moments fully exposed. Unknowingly, it has been half a year since Chen Xuyuan was sentenced. This former powerful figure in the Football Association, who once "called the wind and rain," now has new developments. According to domestic media reports, on Christmas Eve, he was escorted back to Shanghai and will spend the rest of his life in Nanhui Prison. It's quite a coincidence that on the same day, Oscar, who played for Shanghai Port for eight years, officially announced his departure. Recalling the intimate scenes between Chen Xuyuan and Oscar in the past, they now seem full of irony. The conditions in Nanhui Prison are relatively good, mainly detaining the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled, ensuring personal safety there. What is even more remarkable is that Li Tie, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison, according to informed sources, is likely to serve his sentence here as well. These two "prominent figures" in the football world might meet again in prison and become cellmates, which is ironic for fans. Chen Xuyuan is now 67 years old, with not much time left in his life. It is reported that after the incident came to light, his family moved abroad to live a superior life. To this day, neither his wife nor his son has come to visit him, leaving him feeling lonely in prison. Once prosperous and unparalleled, he brought great wealth to his family, but…

In just five days, two former national team players have spoken out in support of Li Tie, referring to him as "my eternal Iron Brother" and emphasizing his uprightness and good treatment of others. Introduction Everyone thinks that the sentence for Li Tie is light, and he actually appealed. The former "pride of the national football team," Li Tie, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for bribery and corruption. In response, fans were delighted and applauded. However, ten days later, on the last day of the appeal period, he filed a lawsuit with the court, requesting a retrial of the case. Perhaps he believes that although he was found to have embezzled 120 million yuan, he has returned most of the stolen funds, and the 20-year sentence is too harsh; it should be lenient. This immediately sparked angry discussions from all sectors of society, with netizens having different opinions. But just as everyone was attacking and condemning him, within a few short days, two former national team players came forward to speak out and counterattack on his behalf. When the crowd mocked him as "Tiezi," these two respectfully referred to him as "Ge Tie." Who are they? Why are they unwavering in their support for him? Why did Li Tie get into trouble in the first place? It turns out that head coach Xie Hui had foreseen this earlier. I. Former National Team Players Do Not Throw Stones at a Fallen Well, They Speak Out to Support Li Tie One emphatically states, "Li Tie is upright and treats people…

However, fans believe that the punishment is too lenient! We all know that Li Tie deeply hurt the fans! When Li Tie took office as the head coach of the Chinese men's football team, many fans strongly supported him. Because on the surface, Li Tie did indeed perform well. He was a hero who led the Chinese men's football team into the World Cup finals for the first time. Moreover, when Li Tie successively coached the Hebei China Fortune Club and the Wuhan Zall Club, he led two teams in the China League One to successfully promote. From the perspective of the fans, Li Tie's achievements are remarkable, and it is very suitable for him to coach the Chinese men's football team! What the fans did not expect was that Li Tie's eye-catching achievements were all fake, obtained through private monetary transactions! Even to become the head coach of the national football team, Li Tie spent money to buy it! In the national team, Li Tie still continued to obtain returns through improper means. Also because Li Tie had ulterior motives, he was called by the fans the strongest national football team in history, but it ended the World Cup qualifying campaign with the worst record.

Recently, former head coach of the Chinese men's football team, Li Tie, has filed an appeal due to his dissatisfaction with a 20-year prison sentence. Many fans and media outlets have criticized and accused Li Tie, believing that a 20-year sentence is already too lenient! If only he had known this would be the outcome, why did he do it in the first place? Indeed, Li Tie's negative influence has been significant, causing even greater harm to Chinese football. During his tenure coaching two second-tier teams, Hebei China Fortune and Wuhan Zall, Li Tie used match-fixing to lead both teams to promotion. Honestly speaking, at that time, Chinese football was flourishing, which also cheered up the fans! Fans were more optimistic about the future of Chinese football due to Li Tie's ability to lead the teams to promotion! However, behind Li Tie's success in leading the teams to promotion, there were actually shady deals. Later, when he joined the national team, Li Tie's behavior became even more despicable! While receiving a salary from the national team, he also received a salary from the club and made money through social media advertising! Honestly, as a player who played for many years and helped the Chinese men's football team reach the World Cup finals, Li Tie had already amassed great wealth! Yet, Li Tie's appetite grew larger and larger, ultimately leading to his downfall. Although fans detest Li Tie, there are still national team players who have spoken out in support of him. In just five days, two former national team players…

Recently, the Chinese football circle has been stirred up again. Former head coach of the Chinese men's national team, Li Tie, has appealed against his 20-year sentence, a move that has sparked widespread discussion. Amidst the many criticisms and accusations, two former national players have come forward to speak out for Li Tie. Who are they? And what did they say? Today, let's talk about this topic. Li Tie, once a symbol of glory for Chinese football. As a player, he helped the Chinese men's national team enter the World Cup finals, and as a coach, he led Hebei China Fortune and Wuhan Zall to promotion success. However, over time, Li Tie's image became increasingly complex, ultimately leading to his imprisonment due to alleged illegal activities. Xu Liang, a native and former teammate of Li Tie, expressed his support for Li Tie on social media. Xu Liang revealed that Li Tie had once helped him, hence he always referred to Li Tie as "Iron Brother". Faced with fans' doubts, Xu Liang firmly stated, "He will always be my Iron Brother!" This shows Xu Liang's gratitude towards Li Tie. Another former national player, Zhao Peng, also spoke out in support of Li Tie. Zhao Peng worked with Li Tie at Guangzhou Evergrande, stating that Li Tie had a very good impression during his time there and was very kind to people. Zhao Peng believes that Li Tie's change began after coaching Hebei China Fortune, where the increase in power also led to an increase in his desires. Regarding Li Tie's case,…
