"Master Lou, what do you think about the Chinese Football Association's special recruitment of registered track and field athletes from the Athletics Association to enter the national football team without negotiating with the Athletics Association?" At this time, the reporters from various media scattered around the crowd, one by one, like sharks smelling blood, and instantly squeezed over. Dozens of microphones and recorders of different sizes suddenly reached Lou Xiaopeng, the head of the China Athletics Association.

"We came here this time to negotiate with the Chinese Football Association. Li Tian can be said to be a huge asset of Chinese sports. I can be sure that his joining the Chinese football team will definitely have a positive effect on Chinese football. I can also understand the urgent hope of the Chinese Football Association for him to join the national team, but we should consider the issue more from the long-term development of the athletes themselves. I believe that through this consultation, we all have found the most suitable method for Li Tian's development." Sitting in the position of Secretary-General of the Athletic Association, Lou Xiaopeng has also been tempered after many trials. Seeing so many protesters at the Football Association, he knew that the Football Association is definitely not having a good time now. The plan to recruit Li Tian this time is completely impossible to realize, so there is no need to put pressure on the Football Association through the media. Instead, giving the other party a step further is more conducive to solving the problem.

"So Mr. Xu, what do you think of this as Li Tian's agent? What is Li Tian's own opinion?" The reporters who knew that nothing could be dug out of Lou Xiaopeng's mouth shifted their target to Xu Hongtao. After all, he is also known in the sports world for his courage to speak and do. As Li Tian's agent, he should know Li Tian's own opinion on this matter better.

"Whether as Li Tian's agent or as a senior football agent, I opposed Li Tian's joining the football team at this time. When I was in the UK, I saw Li Tian's rejection of invitations to join the Bundesliga clubs. I thought it was a very wise choice. I didn't expect a 16-year-old child to have such great courage, so I took the initiative to go to Germany to contact him, hoping to become his agent and help him in his future development in sports. Now I am acting on all his foreign affairs, so I never want things that have an impact on his future development." As soon as this was said, the reporter caused a lot of commotion. I didn't expect Xu Hongtao to oppose the Football Association's decision so directly, and it also implied that the Chinese Football Association's decision was very stupid and he was not afraid of offending the Football Association at all.

"Li Tian did not tell me his opinion on this matter, but when I knew him, he had clearly told me that his biggest goal was to win the gold medal in the Olympic track and field track and field events, and now he is working hard for this goal. The World Youth Track and Field Championships in May are the first step he took to that great goal. From this, it can be imagined how much he attaches importance to this event. The Chinese Football Association recruited him to the national team at this time will undoubtedly disrupt Li Tian's entire training plan, which will be a loss for Chinese sports." Although Xu Hongtao did not directly say what Li Tian was thinking, the reporters present could understand the meaning.

The four of them did not stop for a long time. After squeezing open the crowd, they entered the gate of the Football Association. After the four of them came in, the security guards quickly closed the gate. They had never experienced such a scene before, and they had long been frightened by the crowd outside the door.

As Lou Xiaopeng and the other four arrived, Xie Yalong also received a notice from his assistant Xiao Jun as soon as possible. After stabilizing his emotions, Xie Yalong made up his mind, stood up from his seat, and walked towards the small conference room where Lou Xiaopeng and the other four were.

Regarding the "Li Tian incident", the specific content of the negotiation between the Tian Association and the Football Association was not clear about the details of this negotiation between Lou Xiaopeng and Xie Yalong and his assistant Xiao Junzhi. No one else knew about it. Only when Lou Xiaopeng and the other four left the headquarters of the Chinese Football Association after nearly an hour of meeting with Xie Yalong, the Chinese Football Association issued a statement half an hour after they left the Football Association.

The statement clearly stated that the Chinese Football Association officially canceled the decision to recruit Li Tian to join the national team, but retained Li Tian's official professional player. The content of the statement was as expected by everyone, so they did not feel anything abrupt. Once this statement was released, the "Heavenly fans" outside the door immediately cheered and began to celebrate their "great victory". The "Heavenly fans" who had received the satisfaction began to disperse in large numbers after more than ten minutes of celebration. After all, many of them had been standing in this cold weather for several hours.

After the cheerful "sky fans" left the Football Association's residence, the fans who protested in front of the Football Association also began to disperse on a large scale. Just when most people in the Football Association thought that the situation had been calmed down and they could rest assured, no one knew that a bigger storm was still brewing.

It is hard to say clearly what is the most powerful thing in the world today, but it is undeniable that the news media is one of them. They can influence social public opinion, change personal opinions, and even change the political direction of a country through reporting. The power they can generate is infinite. The day after the statement was issued, the Chinese Football Association experienced this more deeply.

Although a statement was issued and greeted the main media, hoping that the media could downplay the impact of this incident, the scandal of such a large number of people besieged by tens of thousands of people for collective protests was simply uncovered. Dozens of news organizations, including mainstream sports media such as Football and Southern Sports News, competed to conduct a comprehensive report on this incident. In particular, the sports media, such as Football and Southern Sports News, which have been suppressed by Sports Weekly, ignored the greetings of the Football Association, spared no effort to expose this big news, and also listed the "crimes" committed by the Football Association in recent years, hoping to attract more people's attention.

Sure enough, these exciting words completely aroused the anger suppressed in the hearts of Chinese fans in an instant, and the dissatisfied accusations were aimed at the Football Association. At noon the next day, the officials and staff of the Football Association who had not had time to get off work were once again frightened. The fans who had dispersed yesterday began to gather at the Football Association gate again, and the team was growing. At 12 o'clock noon, the number of people gathered exceeded 10,000, and a large number of fans from various urban areas and surrounding provinces and cities in Beijing were rushing here one after another.

At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, more than 30,000 fans surrounded the Football Association's location. They shouted various slogans and were very excited. Seeing that the situation was not good, the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau immediately reported the situation to the Ministry of Public Security and requested to dispatch a large number of public security and armed police to intervene in maintaining order. After receiving the report from the Football Association for more than a year, Liu Peng, director of the General Administration of Sports of China, could not come up with a solution for the time being, so he had to report it to the Central Organization Department immediately.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the largest collective protest in Beijing in the past decade was formed. More than 60,000 fans from all over the country gathered at the gate of the Football Association, and thousands of public security armed police officers were working hard to maintain the order on the scene. At this point, the football storm finally reached its climax. The serious situation attracted the attention of relevant central departments. He Guoqiang, the Minister of the Central Organization Department, who was conducting an inspection in other places, immediately gave up the inspection task and took a special plane to return to Beijing to deal with the matter. With the intervention of the central government, a deputy minister of the Central Organization Department came to the scene in person to persuade the fans. After more than an hour of hard work, the fans who received the promise gradually dispersed.

On the third day after the protest, the Central Organization Department officially issued a notice to thoroughly rectify the Chinese Football Association. It also invited domestic professional football personnel, representatives of various football clubs, representatives of former Football Association personnel, player representatives, and a large number of fans to participate in the special meeting of the Football Association's reform. At the meeting, representatives from all walks of life put forward their respective opinions on the reform of the Football Association. After joint discussion, the work functions and internal management models of the Football Association were clarified to ensure the fairness and openness of the Football Association, accept supervision from the people, and represent the real interests of Chinese football.

A month later, the reorganization of the Chinese Football Association was officially completed with great attention from all walks of life. In the process of reform, a large number of "farmers" and "football politicians" were swept out, streamlining the original extremely bloated institutions of the Football Association. A large number of capable personnel represented by Xiao Jun took to important positions in the Football Association, greatly improving the Football Association's service capabilities. Moreover, the General Administration of Sports of China also rejected the resignation application of Football Association Chairman Xie Yalong and continued to serve as Secretary-General of the Football Association.

After the reform of the Football Association was completed, a series of major adjustments were immediately made to the organizational training of Chinese football professional leagues and players, which swept away the decadent spirit accumulated by Chinese football over the past few years, allowing the majority of fans to see the hope of Chinese football again. A few years later, when Chinese football finally began to rise in the world football and became an important force that cannot be ignored in the world football. Many fans will think of this "football storm" that broke out this year, which is called the beginning of the rise of Chinese football. The "Li Tian incident" is considered to be the fuse of this "football storm". Therefore, Li Tian, ​​a genius boy who had not yet entered the professional football world at that time, had left his name in the important historical moments of Chinese football.
