With Li Tie, former head coach of the national football team, Liu Yi, member of the 11th Executive Committee of the Chinese Football Association and former Secretary-General, Chen Yongliang, executive deputy secretary-general of the Chinese Football Association and director of the national team management department, and Chen Yuyuan, chairman and deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the Chinese Football Association, and others being investigated one after another, the purge storm in the football field has attracted people’s attention.
The Paper noted that, recently, the WeChat WeChat official account of Suining Municipal Committee of China Democratic National Construction Association published a number of proposals and suggestions on football in China by grassroots representatives. Some deputies pointed out that the Football Association should improve the transparency of its operation. In addition, it is right to stop inviting foreign big-name coaches for short-term performance improvement and do a good job in youth training in a down-to-earth manner.
"This kind of corruption case has also appeared in Li Tie."
Among them, Lin Yun, member of the General Branch of the Democratic National Construction Association in Daying County, member of the Suining CPPCC and vice chairman of the chuanshan district CPPCC, and Wang Liming, member of the General Branch of the Democratic National Construction Association in Daying County and representative of the county people’s congress, reflected that football is the world’s first sport and is deeply loved by people all over the world, but the development of football in China, especially men’s football, has always been criticized. As an industry management organization, the football association has been criticized countless times by all walks of life, and the domestic football environment has also gone from bad to worse. As a China fan, I didn’t dare to expect the football results, but the lack of enthusiasm of football players on the court really made people angry and disappointed.

"After the case of Li Tie, the former head coach of the national men’s soccer team broke out, people’s mood could not be calmed down. As the main player of the national football team in the 2002 World Cup, Li Tie is one of the few people in the whole country who has played in the World Cup at present, and he should have feelings for China football. Even this kind of corruption case has appeared, so it is not difficult to understand the performance of football players on the field."
Lin Yun and Wang Liming pointed out that mature youth training is the only way from the successful experiences of neighboring Japanese and Korean soccer. The domestic football environment has gone from bad to worse, and all walks of life regard men’s football as a joke. Parents are reluctant to send their children to learn football. There are fewer and fewer targets for youth training, and there is no good prospect for a small football population. Children who should have played football are mostly playing electronic products such as mobile phones in their spare time, and the development of football is in a vicious circle. In addition, more and more attention has been paid to the construction of stadiums and gymnasiums, and a lot of money and land have been invested in the construction of large-scale stadiums, which have become more and more dazzling urban landmark buildings. However, most people can’t get into these stadiums and can’t afford to use them. The hardened square on the outer ring of the stadium is also occupied by dam dance. Generally speaking, sports facilities are more for viewing than for use.
Lin Yun and Wang Liming also said that since the beginning of the China Football League in 1994, there have been countless big-name foreign coaches invited by the national team and the club level, and they have spent a lot of money, but the effect is not obvious or sustainable. Without a good athlete, even a big-name coach can’t lead the team to achieve good results, and a large amount of foreign teachers’ expenses will be wasted. If you want to achieve good results continuously, it is the right thing to do a good job in youth training, and there is no shortcut.
To this end, they suggested improving the transparency of the operation of the Football Association. Football is widely concerned. Whenever the national team loses, the Football Association will face overwhelming criticism and deny all the efforts of the Football Association.The reason is that people don’t see the working process of the Football Association, and it is not objective and comprehensive to pay attention to the results of the game blindly, which is also unfavorable to the development of the football industry. The Football Association should improve the transparency of its operation, publicize and accept supervision for the plan at the beginning of the year, the implementation in the middle of the year, and the evaluation at the end of the year, so as to guide all sectors of society to look at winning or losing rationally and support the healthy development of the national football cause.
In addition, we will increase the proportion of football courses for teenagers at school, guide cities at or above the prefecture level to hold football matches in their spare time such as weekends, and compete teenagers from electronic products such as mobile phones. Open up free football venues in urban public spaces, create a good football atmosphere in the whole society, enhance the interest of young people in football, and vigorously increase the number of football population. Carry forward the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation through football, guide all young people to work hard actively and face all the challenges in life optimistically.
They also called for not inviting foreign big-name coaches for short-term performance improvement, using limited funds more to train local coaches, athletes, referees and managers, learning from foreign advanced football experience and sending people out to study. Set a reasonable salary ceiling for domestic athletes and encourage athletes to play abroad to improve their competitive level. Pay attention to the off-site management of athletes. For athletes who have achieved good results in a short period of time, they should refuse to be widely sought after by the media and improve their business participation, so as to prevent off-site factors from affecting their fighting motivation.
"Reform the mechanism system of China Football Association"
"In the Asian qualifiers in FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 in 2022, the China men’s soccer team handed in a very bad answer sheet to the people of the whole country. The once first-class Asian team has become a third-rate Asian team, which made the fans very disappointed and called for the reform of the Football Association. China Men’s Football Team must learn from a painful experience, deeply reflect, comprehensively reform and start from the foundation. " Huang Peng, general branch member of Suining Municipal Committee of the Democratic National Construction Association, member of Suining CPPCC, vice chairman of Suining Municipal Committee of the Democratic National Construction Association and secretary general, reflected.
Huang Peng mentioned that due to the low overall level of football in China, it is difficult to go to the world, and the frequent scandals such as shady, match-fixing and corruption, the fans have lost confidence and reduced their enthusiasm for participation, resulting in insufficient market development and a difficult road to professionalism. Teenagers have little room for development in football, and the probability of success is very low. On balance, parents are basically unwilling to let their children take the road of professional football.
To this end, Huang Peng suggested that, according to the characteristics of the national conditions, we should drastically reform the professional leagues in China and the mechanism system of the China Football Association, train more teams, hold more high-level leagues, connect with the world, and promote their healthy, standardized and sustainable development.Adhere to the market-oriented operation of professional football clubs, and be responsible for their own profits and losses according to corporate management. It is necessary to strengthen exchanges with professional leagues in Asia and Europe, and cooperate comprehensively in personnel training, business operation and technical exchanges, so as to provide a broad space for the development of football in China.
Feng Yaowen, director of the General Branch of chuanshan district Branch of Minjian Suining City and the General Office of the Institute of Herbal Culture of Sichuan Vocational and Technical College, pointed out in the article "Problems and Countermeasures of the Management System Reform of Chinese Football Association" that the China Football Association, as an industrial autonomous association, is also a social group, which should be self-managed and self-restrained by interest groups related to the industry. However, in actual operation,China Football Association is more semi-official and its officials have administrative rank, which makes the Football Association more administrative, and the Football Association Congress and Executive Committee exist in name only.
The article combs that the laws and regulations that China Football Association relies on mainly include the Constitution of China Football Association, General Principles of Civil Law, Sports Law, fifa statutes and the Constitution of AFC. However, the relevant laws and regulations mostly stipulate the principles of the Football Association, and the articles of association of the China Football Association are a mere formality, relying more on the "red-headed documents" of the superiors in practice, lacking flexibility and flexibility in decision-making. At the same time, there is also a lack of supervision over the decision-making and implementation of the Football Association. In addition, the articles of association of the Football Association stipulate that legal disputes related to the Football Association shall not be submitted to the court, but only to the Arbitration Commission. The Arbitration Commission is a special committee within the Football Association, and its own impartiality is difficult to convince the public, and the interests of football clubs and players cannot be reasonably protected. Therefore, it is urgent to establish an arbitration commission independent of the Football Association and attended by football-related professionals.
In this regard, Feng Yaowen made three suggestions:
First, fully attract football-related stakeholders to participate in decision-making, implementation and supervision. As a football association interwoven by various stakeholders, its reform must emphasize the participation of the clients. First, it should overcome its single administrative nature, cancel the football management center, cancel the staffing, and fully absorb government officials, professional managers of the football association, experts and scholars, football players, football club members, local football associations and other relevant stakeholders to participate in the decision-making, implementation and supervision of the football association, so as to realize the socialization, autonomy, marketization and transparency of the football association.
Second, improve relevant governance laws and regulations. In the process of the reform of the management system of the Football Association, it is necessary to improve the relevant laws and regulations, accurately position the functions of the Football Association, and make the management activities of the Football Association have laws to follow in decision-making, execution and supervision procedures, so as to provide perfect legal protection for the legalization and modernization of the Football Association’s governance.
Third, establish an independent football arbitration institution. While improving the internal management system of the Football Association, it is necessary to establish an arbitration institution independent of the Football Association, which is composed of relevant legal persons, football professionals and relevant experts, and handles football-related disputes independently according to law, thus contributing to a more just and reasonable judgment of football disputes.
Chen Shuyang, member of Wenwei General Branch of Suining Municipal Committee of the Democratic National Construction Association and director of the Youth League Committee of Suining Municipal Committee of the Democratic National Construction Association, also reflected that at present, the Super League is operated by Super League Co., Ltd., ostensibly an independent company, but in essence it belongs to the Football Association, ostensibly operating the whole league, which is essentially limited to project investment, resulting in the league being seriously affected by administrative instructions and losing the prerequisites of "professionalism" and "marketization".
In addition, affected by various factors, the Super League is tournament-based, and all competitions are held in the same year, which is inconsistent with the international mainstream league home and away system and the New Year’s Eve system. In addition, the AFC Champions League will also adopt the New Year’s Eve system next year, and the overall structure will make each team physically and mentally exhausted. At the same time, because of the tournament-based league, the team will lose the support of fans and let football break away from the development foundation, which is even more unfavorable to the development of football in China.
Chen Shuyang suggested strengthening the confidence of real reform,Intensify the investigation and punishment of anti-corruption in football field, and make every effort to reduce the influence of "off-site factors" on the development of football leagues; "Separation of management and operation" will allow Super League companies to operate independently, establish a perfect club access and competition mechanism, reduce the interference of administrative orders, and prevent football leagues from becoming "performance projects"; Continue to encourage and stimulate the development of youth training of professional clubs and players to study abroad, improve the overall level of football leagues, enhance the football image of China and enhance the commercial value of the Super League; Adjust the league structure, cancel the tournament system that lasted for two years, and implement the New Year’s system in line with the AFC. Implementing the home and away mode will give the team its own growth soil, stimulate the internal motivation of China’s football market and create a better football atmosphere.
