According to domestic media reports, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) is intentionally avoiding the domestic club frontline in its search for a new national team manager, instead focusing on the potential of other national team coaches. In an interview with Choi Kang-hee in the South Korean media, he made it clear that he has never had any thoughts of taking over as head coach of the national soccer team. This statement not only highlights the value he places on his current position, but also reinforces his loyalty to Shandong Taishan Football Club and the Asian Champions League.
In the face of many external speculations about the change of national football coaches, Cui Kangxi chose to focus on the work at hand, that is, guiding Shandong Taishan in the AFC Champions League to strive for good results. His focus and dedication not only demonstrates the professionalism of a soccer coach, but also sets a positive benchmark for the Chinese soccer community. In the new year, both domestic and international soccer fans will be keeping a close eye on Cui Kangxi and Shandong Taishan.
