life in the sky

"The Football Association needs fewer officials, more experts, less administrative intervention, more market discipline, less rhetoric, more down-to-earth, less copper stench, more patriotism, less shady scenes, and more integrity. : .”

Mu Guoxing's instruction caused a huge sensation in the football world. The officials of the Football Association couldn't sit still, but the clubs everywhere were elated.They knew that the commanding spirit of the No. [-] commander, who had five more and five less, put forward new requirements for the development of China's football career.

Football reform is a sample of China's overall sports reform, but it is such a field that was the first to learn from foreign countries and carry out market-oriented and professional reforms, but ironically it has become the object of "entertainment" for the whole people.Some people say that this is all caused by marketization.Is it really?

The Beijing Daily also published an article that made an in-depth analysis of the current situation of Chinese football: Anyone who knows Chinese football knows that the marketization and professional reform of football had stopped in the late 9s.In recent years, under the leadership of narrow vested interests, it has made great strides back.China's football is not market football or professional football, but administrative football and performance football.In the field of football, it is not the market that has the final say, nor the clubs, players, and fans, the main body of football, but the government and government officials.In other words, the marketization and professionalization of Chinese football is actually a half-marketization and professionalization, or a pseudo-marketization and pseudo-professionalization.

So people were surprised to find how similar China's football is to reforms in certain fields!In the beginning, through market-oriented reforms, clubs came into being, the football market became active, players became richer, and the Football Association became richer.But later people discovered that in this market, the will of the government is everywhere, the power of the administrative department is arbitrarily and condescending everywhere, and the collusion between capital and power is everywhere.So there was chaos in the league, there was rampant match-fixing and black calls, and there were all kinds of chaos.Instead of becoming a sports field or a market, the football field has become a arena for power and money.When we use pseudo-market-oriented and pseudo-professional football to compete with foreign real market-oriented and professional football, we lose so badly.

The way out for Huaxia football is to break the administrative monopoly, especially to carry out market-oriented restructuring of the Football Association and its enterprises, introduce sufficient competition, and become non-governmental organizations.Because these special interest groups attached to the economy through power have themselves become malignant tumors, absorbing countless resources and destroying market value.Breaking this monopoly will make the growth of Chinese football more dynamic and fair.So that the football field is not the government that has the final say, but the market that has the final say. The main body of football, clubs, players, and fans, has the final say.

Liu Lei, the chairman of the Football Association, held a meeting of the Football Association's leadership team the next day after seeing the instructions from the No. Such a result.Everyone knows that this instruction from the No. [-] commander is actually to carry out a major reform of the football management system.

"Comrades, everyone, let's talk about it. The instruction of the No. [-] commander is very important. Let's talk about how our Football Association should do the next work around this point."

Vice-chairman Shang Hu said: "The instruction of the No. [-] chief is a big project. I think the most important one is to have fewer officials and more experts in the Football Association. This means that we have to retire."

The nine people who participated in this meeting can also be said to be government officials, and they cannot be said to be ignorant of football, at least they have only a half-knowledge.But these people are in charge of the huge football industry chain.It would be fine if they could really do it well, but it was because they didn't know how to pretend to know how to command, and turned this football sport that the whole people liked into a project that the whole people hated and shamed the country.

In other countries, the Football Association is a non-governmental organization, but in China it is the opposite. The chairman of the Football Association is the main hall, and the other vice-chairmen are the deputy halls. A habit developed in the officialdom for many years, if they rely on people like them to catch China's football, it would be a fantasy.

After Shangshanghu finished speaking, none of the other people spoke. Everyone knew that if the Football Association really followed the instructions of the No. [-] commander, most of them would lose their official titles. Nian finally climbed to his current position, and the official disappeared overnight, and you said it was fatal.

Some people are thinking about transferring their activities to another unit before the reform has officially started.Some people are thinking about how to keep this position in this reform, but they just haven't thought about how to do a good job.

After a one-day meeting, these people did not come up with a feasible plan. According to the instructions of the No. [-] commander, there should be fewer officials and more experts. In the football association's leadership team, only four can be left. Now, the rest of the five people will be dismissed according to the lingo in the football world.

In the end, Merchantshu came up with an idea: "We must seriously implement the instructions made by the No. [-] chief, but considering the current actual situation, in order to strengthen the leadership of football, I suggest that the leadership team of the Football Association can be expanded. For nineteen people, this also reflects the attitude of the Football Association's leadership to resolutely implement the instructions of the No. [-] commander."

The words of Merchant Hu made everyone's eyes brighten, and they all agreed that this was a good way. Since no one wants to go down, why not recruit some people to come up? It would be much better to lose the official title.Besides, the nine of them have the final say on who to join the leadership team.Even if some experts are selected to block everyone's eyes, those experts who have never been in the officialdom are definitely not their opponents in the old oilfields of the officialdom. At that time, the Football Association will continue to let them speak Calculate.

The more Liu Lei thought about it, the more he felt that Shanghu's method was clever. In this way, if football can really succeed, then everything will be easy to talk about. If it can't succeed, then you can't blame them.Anyway, the reform was carried out according to the instructions of the No. [-] commander. If the reform was not successful, who would dare to say that the No. [-] commander's instructions were wrong?

After a day of research, only the problem of the leadership team of the Football Association was solved, which shows how efficient the Football Association is.But if someone really asks, they promise to have a hundred reasons to deal with you: football reform is a big project, and the following work can only be carried out gradually if the leadership team is built well.

These words seem to be reasonable, but upon careful analysis, they are untenable and run counter to Mu Guoxing's instructions.Mu Guoxing's original intention was to ask the Football Association to carry out reforms from the bottom up, but they first set the framework, and then asked the people below to follow them. If such reforms are to be successful, it would be hell up.

A few days later, after a lot of effort, a group of people from the Football Association finally reported the reform plan to the State Sports Commission. Naturally, the State Sports Commission did not dare to reply rashly to the matter that No. [-] personally intervened, and reported to the director of science, education and culture Zhang Jincheng, the state councilor of the health body, was there.

In Mu Guoxing's office, Zhang Jincheng was talking eloquently. From what he said, Mu Guoxing could tell that Zhang Jincheng agreed with the plan formulated by the Football Association.

"Comrade Jincheng, our country's football management system is no longer suitable for the development of football. If we want to revitalize the football industry, we must carry out drastic reforms. The reform is from top to bottom or from bottom to top. This is not only a working method. It is not a question of method, but a question of attitude and stand.”

Zhang Jincheng felt a little hot. To be honest, it was not that he didn't see the tricks in the Football Association's report, but it was because of some inexplicable reasons that he agreed to the Football Association's report.Hearing the criticism of the seventh commander now, it is understandable that he feels a little nervous.

"Vice Premier Mu, I personally think that the reform plan proposed by the Football Association is relatively safe and will not cause chaos in the football world."

Text 780 Chapter [-] Clearing moths

Mu Guoxing looked at Zhang Jincheng in surprise. He understood that Huaxia's football cannot be done well. The problem is not only with the Football Association, but also has a lot to do with the State Councilor in charge of sports. :.

Mu Guoxing said calmly: "Comrade Jincheng, do you think our football is not messed up enough?"

Zhang Jincheng did not speak. As the top leader in charge of sports, he is not ignorant of these problems in the football circle. The reason why he did not make up his mind to rectify them is mainly because the shady inside is too big. It will cause a major chain reaction, which will also have a very bad impact on him, so the method of covering up has become Zhang Jincheng's main method to deal with questions from all walks of life.

"Comrade Jincheng, the flood of match-fixing, betting and black whistle in the football world is rampant to the point where the underworld is used all over the world to hunt down and kill those who default on gambling money, and it is so rampant that you can hang homemade bombs in front of the windows of any disobedient insiders , so arrogant that the interest earned from lending usury for gambling can easily smash a few living people three feet into the ground. Now the intertwined interests of all parties make the head of a country's football association bow down to money or loyalty Under the pomegranate skirt, at this time you are still worried about the chaos in the football world, isn't this chaos enough? How can it be chaotic?"

Zhang Jincheng didn't dare to speak. He knew that Mu Guoxing, the deputy prime minister, was different from the other three vice prime ministers. The iron triangle relationship with No. [-] is already a fact known to everyone in the central government. As long as he wants to do something, he will definitely get the support of the Standing Committee of the Politburo. Apart from being obedient, he absolutely dare not express any dissatisfaction.

Mu Guoxing picked up a document and handed it to Zhang Jincheng: "Comrade Jincheng, there have been very strong responses to the problems in the football world, and it's time for a thorough clean-up. It's not terrible if there are problems. Don't dare The scariest thing is to just cover the cover. This is a piece of material reported by the public security department, which mainly reflects some criminal facts in the football world. Do you think this can’t sound the alarm for us?”

Zhang Jincheng took the material, and was immediately stunned by the content. The material mainly contained the criminal facts of Liu Lei, chairman of the Football Association: Liu Lei is a student of Liaodong Sports College, and has intricate relationships with Liaodong sports circles and football circles. One of the main leaders of the Sports Bureau of Dongyang City, the capital of Liaodong Province, is still a classmate of his.It is precisely because of these relationships that Dongyang has taken the lead in hosting the top ten home games.Due to Liu Lei's active operation, Dongyang has become the home of the top ten games from the very beginning without an open bidding.

When determining the host city, the Dongyang City Sports Committee followed Liu Lei's instructions and only took out a mere 5 million hosting fee to cover people's eyes, and this part of the fee was indeed transferred to the account of the National Football Association, but only the ticket revenue for the 4 home games It reached 77 million, plus advertising revenue, it will be even more.According to the investigation of the public security department, Liu Lei's wife received 17 million yuan from it as a shareholder afterwards.

In addition, Nan Yong, in violation of the "Company Law", regardless of other people's objections, he just signed a contract with a foreign party at will, because he can get a large amount of benefits from the middle.In the case that other cities are more competitive, it is arbitrarily decided to give a city the right to host the top ten competition without bidding, so as to obtain greater benefits from it.Even when the Chinese Football Association has delineated close to 1 world famous coaches, he can suddenly poach a surprising foreign fake coach, because he can share his interests.Liu Lei also took advantage of his power as the leader of the league to testify against the six players for match-fixing and illegal gambling. After receiving a large amount of benefits, he turned out to only use the instructions of "already notified to the team"...

All of this is power rent-seeking, and the word "interest" is written all over it.In the chain of Liu Lei's power control, there may be top ten matches and many investment promotion activities, and there may be power to seek rent to the club. The specific form is to send black whistle to control the game.As early as the beginning of the new century, the football league black whistle incident had exposed a huge shady scene, and a large number of people were involved at that time.At that time, Liu Lei was the high-level football association in charge of referees. He had absolute control over the appointment of referees. If he assigned a black whistle to the club, he would definitely get the club's economic benefits. This is also a typical structural corruption.

After reading this material, Zhang Jincheng's face turned pale.He knew very well what Mu Guoxing meant when he asked him to read this material. This was not a criticism of criticism, but also beating Zhang Jincheng, telling him not to be deceived and bewitched by Liu Lei and his gang, but to stand firm and stick to principles. , Fight resolutely against these corrupt phenomena.

Zhang Jincheng took a few deep breaths, tried to calm down his mood, raised his head and looked at Mu Guoxing, and saw that the other party was also watching him calmly. The eyes of the No. [-] captain were full of hope. Zhang Jincheng knew that, Captain No. [-] is giving him a chance, how can he dare to protect Liu Lei and his gang at this time?

"Long, I didn't expect the football industry in our country to be in such a mess, I didn't expect that the Football Association would dare to act so boldly, and I didn't expect that the Football Association, which looks like Qingshui Yamen, would have such a major corruption problem. On the one hand, I am responsible."

Zhang Jincheng said three times in a row, but he didn't think that whether this represented his innermost feelings is unknown, but one thing is certain, he no longer dared to stick to his original opinion in the face of this conclusive evidence .

Mu Guoxing nodded, and said slowly: "Comrade Jincheng, you can't do it if you don't think about it. The party and the people have entrusted us with such an important job, and it is not possible to shirk responsibility without thinking about it. People still want to muddle through. I think you should be very clear about the reasons for this. If these moths are not eliminated and the football management system is not thoroughly reformed, our country's football career will never develop. .”

Mu Guoxing took a sip of tea and said: "The central government has made great achievements in rectifying the cadre team and anti-corruption work. People's satisfaction with the government is gradually improving, but the sports system is still It is a pool of stagnant water, which not only violates the principles and policies of the central government, but also runs counter to the interests of the country and the people. I hope Comrade Jincheng can accept this lesson."

"I humbly accept your criticism. I will make a profound review to the Politburo. After I go back, I will immediately start to rectify the Football Association. Follow your instructions to rectify the leadership team of the Football Association and establish an open and transparent football operation in accordance with the laws of the market. mechanism."

Mu Guoxing smiled: "Comrade Jincheng, the rectification of the leadership team of the Football Association cannot be carried out by arresting a few people or administrative orders. It must be done in accordance with the laws of the market. My opinion is that we should listen to each club more. According to the opinion of the Football Association, the functions of the Football Association should also be changed, from management to service and coordination. In view of the shady inside the Football Association, we must undergo major surgery. Only by removing these moths can we make our bodies healthier.”

After a short pause, giving Zhang Jincheng time to think, Mu Guoxing said again: "As I said just now, the rectification of the football industry is a major project. I agree with your opinion in principle. I have already discussed with Comrade Qingshan We have talked about it, the first step is to fight against gangsters and eliminate corruption, I hope you can actively cooperate with Comrade Qingshan in this regard.”

Zhang Jincheng realized that the No. [-] commander no longer believed him. It was really rare for a state councilor to cooperate with another state councilor.But at this moment, he dare not not listen. He knows the strength of No. [-]. If this work is not done well, at the next National Party Congress and People's Congress, he will be deposed as a State Councilor. , is not a difficult thing.

Text two thousand seven hundred and eighty three chapters specific ideas

The anti-corruption storm against the sports world first started with the Football Association. Among the members of the Football Association's leadership team, four people were taken away by the public security department to assist in the investigation. Even a famous Golden Whistle was arrested. There are even more small people who have been arrested for other crimes.

The news media have reported this clean government storm. Although the reporters see the issue from different angles, they all believe that the central government is serious this time. After the phoenix nirvana of China's football career, it will surely embark on a glorious tomorrow.

State Councilor and Minister of Public Security Li Qingshan came to Yiletang and reported to Mu Guoxing about the anti-crime and anti-corruption work against the Football Association.

After 15 minutes, Li Qingshan finished his report. Mu Guoxing motioned for Li Qingshan to drink tea together. After a while, he asked, "How did the crowd react?"

"The common people are clapping their hands and applauding, but those whose buttocks are not clean are like a mourning concubine."

"The summary is very good. This effect is what we want. Although we have arrested some people this time, which will affect the normal work of the football world, this is also a strategy to put them to death and survive. In the next three years, we will There are no major football events in China, so we can just take this opportunity to rectify and rectify."

Li Qingshan understands why Mu Guoxing instructed him to secretly investigate the shady affairs in the football world three months ago. After getting sufficient evidence, he didn't take immediate action. It turned out that he was waiting for this opportunity.With these three years, the management system of football can be completely rectified. A team that puts down its burden and packs lightly will definitely be able to win the battle.

"After the anti-crime and anti-corruption work in the football world has come to an end, you can take a proper rest for a while. This action has greatly shocked the entire sports world. The Ministry of Public Security can issue a document. As long as someone can take the initiative to confess his crimes As a matter of fact, criminal punishment can be lenient or exempted, but some cases with strong complaints from the masses still need to be investigated to the end."

Li Qingshan nodded: "Resolutely implement the instructions of the chief."

Mu Guoxing smiled: "The two of us have worked together for so many years, and this is what I admire most about you. You work vigorously and dare to face difficulties."

"This is also the good of the central leadership. Without your support, I might not have such courage."

Mu Guoxing thought for a while and then asked, "I'm afraid the pressure you're under this time won't be small, right?"

Li Qingshan smiled: "There must be some pressure, especially after Liu Lei and other major criminal suspects were arrested, there were quite a few people who called and came to intercede in person."

"How did you cope?"
