Features: On April 26, 2000, Yan Shiduo officially took office as the Director of the China Football Association (CFA) and the Executive Vice President of the Chinese Football Association. Prior to this, he served as the Director of the Legal and Political Department of the General Administration of Sport of China (GASC) and the Director of the General Office of the GASC. Starting from 1993, he began to study and pay attention to football. At that time, the entire Legal and Political Department was researching sports reform, and football reform was a breakthrough point in sports reform and management system reform. In this book, Yan Shiduo, who once became a prominent figure in football, narrates the ups and downs of world football and Chinese football during his tenure as the head of the CFA, vividly recreating the development, rise and fall, and glory and disgrace of Chinese football. He also reveals the decision-making and operational behind-the-scenes stories of major football events during his five-year tenure and analyzes the "political economy of football" that surrounded Chinese football.
