In the new season of the Chinese Super League, the trend of rejuvenation is obvious, many veteran international players suffered a career low. To the Shenzhen team Lin and Wang Yongper as a representative of these players due to age, the burden of high salary has become a burden on the team, basically bid farewell to the field. However, in many veterans, there are also people who are not willing to retire, such as former national soccer team captain Feng Xiaoting.
According to inside information, 38-year-old former national soccer captain Feng Xiaoting is about to join Dongguan United and is expected to continue playing this season. This news immediately triggered a hot debate among fans. Last year, Feng Xiaoting and Gong Hanlin argued over comments about the national soccer team's 1-3 loss to Vietnam, with Gong Hanlin sarcastically criticizing the national soccer team and Feng Xiaoting responding, "Retirement, give way to Gong Hanlin!"
Feng Xiaoting's comments sparked concern among fans, who were expecting him to fulfill his promise. However, after one season at Shenhua, Feng Xiaoting did not retire. His contract with Shenhua expired at the end of last season, and while common sense would suggest that the 37-year-old player has reached retirement age, Feng Xiaoting has found a new job in the China A-League.
Feng Xiaoting, like Jiang Lin, had enjoyed the dividends of gold dollar soccer. During his time playing for Guangzhou Evergrande, he earned a total of 91 million yuan, totaling 120 million yuan in career earnings. Compared to players such as Sun Jihai and Fan Zhiyi, who studied in the English Premier League, Feng Xiaoting's earnings can be considered lucrative.
Feng Xiaoting has also left his mark during his national team days.In the 2019 Asian Cup, he was broken by Azmoun for a defensive error that was eaten alive + snatched + assisted by his teammate, causing Lippi to replace him in the 28th minute of the game. Furthermore, Camacho replaced Feng Xiaoting with less than 30 minutes to go in the 1-5 loss of the national football team to Thailand's youth team.
These two substitutions are considered a blot on Feng Xiaoting's career. However, Feng Xiaoting still manages to make a killing in Chinese football. In fact, Chinese soccer is quite pathetic in some ways, with the national team underperforming while breeding a large number of assholes such as Li Tie, Chen Xuyuan and Du Zhaocai. Players have limited ability, but in the days of gold dollar soccer, an essay can be worth tens of millions and hundreds of millions.
