Li Tie, regarded as the scum of Chinese soccer, was unhappy with the sentence of 20 years' imprisonment and resolutely appealed. The court decided to reopen the case at a later date. Shockingly, not only Li Tie, but also one of the national team's head coaches, former Chinese women's soccer coach Hao Wei, is involved in the case.
Hao Wei and Li Tie belonged to the same club's youth team and embarked on the road to Brazil together. 2012, Hao Wei became the head coach of China's women's soccer team and led the team to the last eight in the 2015 World Cup, which was the best performance of China's women's soccer team in 16 years and undoubtedly made excellent contributions to women's soccer.
However, in this case, Hao Wei was accused of allegedly manipulating the game, which mainly happened during his coaching of Shandong Taishan, and many of the matches were puzzling to the fans. Hao Wei was taken away for investigation at the beginning of last season, and now more than a year later, the case seems to be nearing its conclusion.
Chinese Super League blogger Observer revealed on social media that Hao Wei's sentence may be similar to Jin Jingdao's, not more than five years. Hao Wei was involved in a soccer match-fixing controversy, while his "brother" Li Tie is not only suspected of soccer match-fixing, but also suspected of bribery and accepting bribes. Although the nature is different, the amount of money involved is not the same, but the fate of the two seems to be closely linked.
As former teammates of the Jianlibao youth team and now the same national team manager, will Hao Wei and Li Tie meet in the same prison in their future lives? They will also work together, in the green field to renew their relationship? This is all looking forward to.
