Qingdao News - All online | In Qingdao ยท On Peninsula Network. Yahoo Sports reports: The Chinese Super League has ended, but the grandeur of the football world seems to have just begun. Recently, reporters from all over have besieged Tieling and Dandong. This momentum, lacking only foreign journalists, gives one the illusion that China is hosting the World Cup. Chinese football has welcomed a milestone event. Many reporters, braving the cold, are few who can enter to listen in; most need to wait outside in the snow like students respectfully waiting for their teacher.
Starting at 7 o'clock in the morning, they stake out at the court entrance before the escort vehicles arrive, then return separately for breakfast; at 11:30 AM, they gather again before the midday recess, trying to interview as many people and lawyers as possible, then disperse once more; finally, starting from 2:30 PM, they remain until all the trials conclude. This is the daily work of these veteran reporters, and even so, the complex and tight trial process forces them to act separately. Therefore, these days, there's been no shortage of mutual interviews among them.
Due to instructions from higher-ups, there must be a conclusion to the anti-corruption cases this year. So the cases currently under review are equivalent to a World Cup group stage. Especially with recent cases revolving around the Chinese Second Division League, the real drama probably hasn't even started yet. And how deep the investigation will go, and how wide its scope, requires patience and waiting.
Tieling and Dandong, both in the cold north, are indeed somewhat arduous for many southern reporters. Five-Star Sports quickly secured a repair shop near the court, while other reporters began finding other bases. Thus, an internet cafe next to the court became everyone's battleground. Here, not only could time be passed and information sent promptly, but more importantly, there was heating. For 30 yuan, you could stay for an afternoon. Therefore, this internet cafe became a base for veteran reporters and temporarily served as a news conference exchange center.
Believe it or not, everyone is looking forward to the results of this anti-corruption case. The scene filled with journalists indeed makes one feel that besides hosting the World Cup, Chinese football doesn't have much else that could create such a spectacle.
