In the aftermath of the investigation into Gou Zhongwen, the former director of the General Administration of Sport, many believed that the anti-corruption efforts within China's sports sector might have come to an end. However, this was merely a perception; in reality, the anti-corruption campaign within the domestic sports sector has not ceased and is ongoing. Indeed, another high-ranking official from the original General Administration of Sport has been officially announced to be under investigation. Recently, it was officially declared that Li Quanqiang, the former director of the Volleyball Management Center under the General Administration of Sport, is suspected of serious violations of discipline and law, and is currently undergoing disciplinary review and supervision investigation. Within the context of anti-corruption within the domestic sports sector, the most profound impression is naturally associated with the anti-corruption efforts in the domestic football sector. Just before the commencement of the Qatar World Cup, Li Tie, the former head coach of the Chinese men's national football team and a former well-known international player, who was originally scheduled to appear as a heavyweight commentator for a domestic live broadcast platform, was suddenly taken away for investigation during a coaching training session. Li Tie's removal marked the formal opening of the anti-corruption curtain in the domestic football sector. Shortly thereafter, dozens of individuals within the domestic football circle, including several high-level officials from the Chinese Football Association, were subjected to investigations or assistance in investigations. Ultimately, even Gou Zhongwen, the former director of the General Administration of Sport, was implicated. This time, the investigation concerns Chinese…

Once upon a time, we sat in front of our televisions, fervently wishing for Chinese football to break out of Asia and onto the world stage. Those moments of fiery passion and those times of regretful tears are deeply etched in the hearts of every Chinese football fan. Now, a report from South Korean media has reignited the flames in our hearts: With the addition of Hou Yongyong, Serginho, Little Oscar, and Wu Shaocong, these four rising stars, the Chinese team is expected to secure second place in Group C and advance to the World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico! This is not just a piece of sports news; it's a symbol of national sentiment. We yearn so much to see the Five-starred Red Flag flying high on the international pitch and hear the stirring melody of "The March of the Volunteers." These four names seem like rays of dawn, illuminating the future path of Chinese football. However, behind the light lies shadow. Our league is still trapped in various issues. We must not remain stagnant or open up indiscriminately, allowing neutral names, submitting salaries to the China Professional Football League for management throughout the year, and disbursing bonuses at will... These seemingly complex items all point to a central question: How can our football league become vibrant? Consider the European giants; their success is no accident. It's underpinned by scientific management, a reasonable salary system, and a passionate fan culture. What about us? Players born after 2000 are already in their mid-twenties but are still called…

The resignation of Deschamps from his position as head coach of the French team was unexpected for many fans, especially since he led France to victory in the 2018 World Cup. After their loss to Argentina in the final of the Qatar World Cup, where they finished second, Deschamps received a contract extension with the French team until the 2026 World Cup. However, his sudden resignation has come as a surprise. Those who have been following the recent turmoil within the French team know that Deschamps' resignation is due to conflicts with several star players within the team. Previously, Deschamps did not call up Mbappe for two consecutive national team training sessions, which was surprising given that Mbappe has been a leader within the French team. He continuously scored goals to help France fight against Argentina until extra time in the 2022 World Cup and became the captain of the French team after the tournament. However, Deschamps did not include the captain in the national team matches, indicating that there were intense internal conflicts between Deschamps and some of the players. These star players, who do not listen to his commands and often form small groups in the locker room, have made Deschamps decide that he no longer wants to continue coaching the French team. It seems that after Deschamps' resignation, Mbappe will carry the blame. Mbappe has long wanted Zidane to replace Deschamps as the head coach of the French team, and now it seems that his wish has been fulfilled.

Fans of Cristiano Ronaldo are well aware that the 2022 World Cup was the year when the gap between Messi and Ronaldo widened significantly. While Messi triumphed in the Qatar World Cup, Ronaldo suffered an unexpected elimination against Morocco. After the match, Ronaldo was visibly distraught, breaking down in tears in the player's tunnel. It was clear that Ronaldo realized he would never have another chance to win the World Cup title, which is why his reaction was so emotional. Additionally, during the 2022 World Cup, the Portuguese national team experienced a significant internal conflict. Ronaldo found himself on the bench during a game, and afterward, he expressed his dissatisfaction. This led to the resignation of coach Fernando Santos. Rumors circulated among fans that Ronaldo had demanded the dismissal of coach Santos, leading to widespread criticism of the star player. However, in a recent interview, Santos clarified the situation: "Ronaldo respected my decision to bench him, and we still maintain contact and communication. There were no major conflicts between us, contrary to what external rumors suggested." Santos' revelation as the former coach has shed light on the matter, revealing that Ronaldo, despite his reluctance to be a substitute, was willing to make sacrifices for the team. He accepted the situation, showing that he was not the instigator of the internal strife within the Portuguese team. Even at the age of 40, Ronaldo remains capable of being the starting forward for the Portuguese national team, demonstrating his continued efforts and contributions on the field.

For the national football team, every head coach is a matter of great attention. Whenever a new head coach takes office, fans across the country will pin high hopes on him, hoping that under the leadership of the new coach, they can change the depressed state of Chinese football and revitalize the development of football. During the period from 2000 to 2002, world-class coach Milu served as the head coach of the Chinese men's national team. Despite having such a coach with a glorious record, good results were not achieved, and Milu had no choice but to step down. According to media reports, opinions on Milu at the time were mixed, and the only fair evaluation of Milu heard was from Xie Hui. Even during his playing days, Milu had outstanding performances. During his career, Milu reached the pinnacle of his career while playing for Club America in Mexico. At that time, he was undoubtedly the main player of the club. Through working together with his teammates, Milu led the team to win the Mexican national championship trophy. Soon after, Milu won the championship again in the Central American National Club Tournament. Later, Milu encountered a low point in his career. Years of injuries and declining physical fitness made him no longer adapt to the harshness of the court. Out of necessity, Milu made the decision to retire. However, Milu was still unwilling to give up football, a project he loved so much, and he simply decided to transition to becoming a coach. The process from athlete to coach is…

Chinese football fans have a lifelong dream: to see their national team qualify for the FIFA World Cup. With the announcement of the latest training squad list, discussions among fans have intensified. The list features both familiar faces and fresh talents, indicating a serious effort to shake things up.‌ The absence of several veterans, including goalkeeper Liu Dianzuo, defender Jiang Guangtai, and forward Wu Lei, has caught everyone's attention. Officially, their omission is due to injuries, but fans can't help but wonder if there's more to the story. These players' absence will undoubtedly affect the team's offensive and defensive capabilities, especially Wu Lei, who is often referred to as China's "nuclear weapon."‌ However, the newcomers have brought pleasant surprises. Young players like Jian Tao, Han Pengfei, and Wu Shaocong have injected new vitality into the team. They are technically skilled and full of energy, which could lead to miraculous moments in matches. Of course, their lack of experience is a concern, and it remains to be seen how the coaching staff will harness their strengths.‌ This transition reflects the strategic intent of the national team. It aims to prepare for upcoming competitions while also focusing on the future by nurturing young talent for the long-term development of Chinese football. Fans are eagerly anticipating what these young players might bring to the table.‌ Head coach Ivan has two key strategies at his disposal. The first is youth. The 32-man squad has an average age of just over 26, with 11 players born after 2000, a rarity in Chinese football history. Young…

For the French team, not being able to win the championship in the last two major events has indeed had a significant impact. As a top-tier powerhouse, they have always been one of the favorites to win both the European Cup and the World Cup. However, due to some coaching and tactical issues with Deschamps, the French team is now unable to win again. This situation also puts great pressure on Deschamps and the internal of the French team. But now it seems that both sides will take a new strategy. Currently, the French team's head coach Deschamps has also announced that he will step down, and even the high-level political figures in France have asked Deschamps about his resignation. Now it seems that Deschamps leaving is the best opportunity for Zidane. Before, Mbappe and Deschamps had a fierce argument, so this time the French team changing coaches is obviously a very wise decision. Since there is a conflict between the team leader and the head coach, it is also necessary to find a new head coach to stabilize the unity of the team and resolve internal conflicts. Zidane, as a superstar in the French football world who retired and became a famous coach, led Real Madrid to achieve three consecutive Champions League titles, so it is completely understandable for Real Madrid to invite Zidane to coach. Zidane taking over this billion-dollar giant will become a strong contender for the World Cup title. With a large number of talented players, plus superstars like Mbappe who are among the top three…

The current situation is incredibly complex. In Group C of the top 18 qualifiers, the competition has become as chaotic as a hot pot base, leaving spectators dizzy. Especially the teams originally considered favorites, such as Saudi Arabia and Australia, have been stumbling, causing people to exclaim, "This is just too unreliable!" Saudi Arabia, in particular, was thought by many to be a sure bet for qualification, but a series of mistakes have left them floundering like a lost kitten, making observers shake their heads in disbelief. As for Australia, they were once comfortably positioned in the top four, but their fluctuating form has made the situation increasingly complicated. In contrast, our national football team, although the situation is not entirely clear, at least holds 6 points and ranks third, only one point behind second-placed Australia. This directly indicates that we have a chance to make a comeback! Honestly, seeing this situation, there's a slight excitement, even starting to fantasize that if everything goes smoothly, we might be able to squeeze into the top four and challenge for World Cup qualification. After all, with four rounds of matches remaining, especially the upcoming away match against Saudi Arabia, which could be a decisive turning point. Speaking of Saudi Arabia, we cannot underestimate the strength of this team. Although they are currently ranked fourth in the group and on the brink of qualification, the historical depth of Saudi Arabian football is undeniable. They have previously qualified alongside Japan, proving their capabilities. Their coach, Hervé Renard, is no ordinary figure, having achieved notable…
