While the Chinese League One is still in full swing, Dong Xiang has quietly bid farewell to the game. He revealed on social media platforms that the reason for his departure was mainly due to lack of physical fitness, coupled with the difficulty of playing a role in the team, the frustration of having more than enough to make him decide to take a break from the game and go home to focus on improving his physical fitness.
After returning home, Dong Xiang quickly put into the live broadcast, flirting and interacting with his old partners, and even organized a unique "retirement ceremony" and "jersey retirement ceremony". Although this is only the entertainment effect of the live broadcast, but in reality Dong Xiang has not retired. Recently, the internet has been filled with news about his retirement, which angered Dong Xiang's mother, who even scolded the fans in a fan club. She emphasized that her son had undergone six major surgeries, each lasting 2.5 to 3.5 hours, and that Dong Xiang had not retired.
Talking about the problem of physical fitness, Dong Xiang said that after staying in the race area for less than a month, it was obvious that he could not keep up with his physical fitness, sweating profusely after running, and it really takes a process to recover his physical fitness, especially after returning from an injury. It is because of the physical ability to keep up with the pace of the game, he decided to apply for leave the race area.
However, as a professional player, it is indeed unprofessional for him to go on air after a tough loss and even be "caught" by his coach. His energy is not fully focused on soccer, and the challenge of getting back to his best physical and athletic condition is undoubtedly huge.
