Tracing the path of Hao Wei's soccer, its brilliant chapters are numerous.
Since April 2009, he has taken the plunge into head coaching.
He cited March 2013 as a milestone when he became head coach of the Chinese women's soccer team;
In the 1999 season, as a player, he won the A-League and the FA Cup;
And then, as a coach, he was honored as the double champion of the Chinese Super League and the FA Cup in the 2021 season.
His achievements during his time coaching China's women's soccer team have been particularly glittering, and he rose to fame in 2015 when he led the team to the quarterfinals of the Women's World Cup.
However, in May last year, Hao Wei's alleged match-fixing and collusion with his agent for profit was exposed by the media and subsequently investigated.
The news rocked the entire soccer world.
Following Li Tie's case, Hao Wei's case has also seen new developments. The verdict of the first trial has been announced.
Although the specific sentence has not been determined, analysts speculate that Hao Wei's sentence may be similar to that of Jin Jingdao and Gu Chao.
According to the blogger, Jin Jingdao was sentenced to three years, so it is presumed that Hao Wei sentence or no more than five years, the most likely to be sentenced to three years.
If this speculation is true, Hao Wei's soccer career may end.
Another journalist also revealed Hao Wei's case, pointing out that he was suspected of match-fixing and colluding with his agent for profit.
This behavior is a serious violation of the fairness and impartiality of soccer matches and damages the image of Chinese soccer.
Hao Wei's verdict means that after Li Tie, another former national team coach who had caused harm to Chinese soccer has been duly punished.
Despite the fact that these offenses have seriously tarnished the image of soccer, soccer should still be a fair, just and healthy competition.
Li Tie, Hao Wei and other people's behavior not only let the fans disappointed, but also disgraced the Chinese soccer.
In addition, even if the sentence is not long, Hao Wei could still miss out on a soccer career by becoming another soccer player to be banned for life due to the banned list.
