The National Olympic Team's matches in the U23 Asian Cup are all over, and despite failing to qualify for the knockout rounds, winning the final match still maintains their dignity. However, unexpectedly, an interview of Cheng Yaodong by Ma Dexing has once again aroused public opinion. Sung Yiu Tung's interview was slammed by a member of the media for being inaccurate. Another member of the media came to his aid in time, and Sung Yiu Tung might be criticized.
In an interview with Madsing, Sung Yiu Tung said that his contract will also expire after the National Olympic Games assignment. Previously, the long training lead was due to the fact that most of the players did not have matches to play at their clubs. In recent years, his techniques and tactics have been changing because there are different tasks at different stages, so the tactics are adjusted accordingly. He expects Chinese soccer to reach and stay at the second tier level in Asia in the future, and will work hard for the revitalization of Chinese soccer no matter what kind of work he does in the future, as long as it is in the field of soccer.
Simply put, Cheng Yaodong has adopted a long-term training mode in order to solve the problem of players not having a ball to play. However, some people no longer put up with this claim, such as media personality Pan Weili, who directly criticized Cheng Yaodong for talking nonsense. In addition, Pan Weili provided strong evidence by listing a number of players who participated in the overseas training from March to June of the 2023 season and comparing the match data of these players in the 2022 season. In the 2022 season, players who participated in more than 20 matches in the Chinese Super League and Chinese First Division include Liu Zhurun, Hu Huotao, Mutalifu, Efirdin, Xie Wenneng, Huang Zihao, Ma Fuyu, and Chen Yuhao; and those who participated in about 10 matches include Tao Qianglong, Baihulamu, Abdul Meisuli, Liu Haofan, Zhao Jianbo, Yang Zihao, Chen Rong, and Liu Wenhao.
Pan Weili's statement was a bit of a slap in the face to the coach of the National Olympic team, with a complete description of the three elements and a fairly detailed narrative essay aspect. During this year's U23 Asian Cup, some players have expressed their displeasure with Sung Yeo-dong, such as a Guangzhou player surnamed Xu who criticized Sung Yeo-dong on social media after two consecutive losses for the National Olympic team. The player surnamed Xu did not get a chance to play in the three matches and perhaps he could have helped Guangzhou perform better in the Central League matches instead of watching the matches in Qatar.
There was a coincidence, not only Pan Weili expressed his dissatisfaction with Cheng Yaodong, but also another media person exposed the scandal of Cheng Yaodong and the National Olympic team through social media. Xu Zexin broke the news on social media that Cheng Yaodong often disappeared during the usual training of the national Olympic team; what is even more incredible is that there are players in the national Olympic team who put up a show in the team, making their own rules, and the whole team had to wait for him to take his seat before they could move their chopsticks. Once the player was late, another player got impatient and broke the rules by taking the lead in moving the chopsticks, leading to a near clash between the two.
If the revelations of these two journalists are true, and looking back at this exclusive interview arranged by Ma Dexing for Cheng Yaodong, it can be said that Chinese soccer is an environment full of gossip and a stage for dramas, so keep the show on the road, please.
