#The match fixing in the final of the Guangdong Provincial Games was on the hot search list. It is reported that Qingyuan and Guangzhou played in the final of the U15 Men's Football Team of the Guangdong Provincial Games. At one time, Qingyuan took the lead by 3-1, but suddenly collapsed in the second half, and Guangzhou scored four consecutive goals, including penalty kicks and gifts from the goalkeeper and guards. In the end, Guangzhou Team won the championship by a 5-3 reversal.

Netizens who have seen the video have the same feeling, and this game is really eye popping. In the first half and the second half, Qingyuan's performance was quite different from that of a different team, especially the performance of some players. It was almost speechless, which made people suspect that the game was abnormal and full of kitsch.

Of course, guess belongs to guess, still have to speak with facts. Do these young players play match fixing? If you kick, you should be punished and investigate who ordered you. If he didn't kick, he should be honest and clear. In any case, the involvement of 15 year old players in this dark vortex makes people feel heavy.

Today (August 8), the Chinese Football Association said: "In the match, the performance of the athletes of both sides on the court was widely questioned by public opinion, causing concern from all walks of life. The Chinese Football Association attaches great importance to this and starts the investigation procedure. It will form an investigation team with the participation of the Competition Department, the Discipline Inspection Department and other departments to go to Guangzhou for investigation on August 8." This voice responded to public concern, An important step has been taken to uncover the truth.

While waiting for the results of the investigation, we need to explore a realistic proposition: why did this cause a big stir? First, gambling, match fixing, match manipulation, etc., have always been despised by people. These behaviors are not only serious violations of sports ethics, but also suspected of illegal crimes, and must not be condoned. Second, in recent years, the performance of the Chinese men's football team has not been satisfactory, but countless fans are still willing to leave. But now, if the future of Chinese football - these U15 men's football players play fake football, how painful it will be! Chinese football can't stand ups and downs, and the football life of teenagers can't stand ups and downs.

"If the investigation finds conclusive evidence to prove that relevant units and personnel are suspected of manipulating the game and violating the principle of fair competition, they will be severely punished." The statement of the Chinese Football Association is full of expectations. We look forward to finding out the truth as soon as possible. We look forward to all kinds of gambling, match fixing, match manipulation, etc. far away from Chinese football!
