Following the Xinfeng incident, shocking news has come again, as domestic soccer insiders have revealed the mysterious disappearance of yet another former national soccer team coach, who was featured in the 2002 World Cup between South Korea and Japan. Zheng Bin, also an international player of that era, recently revealed part of the coach's background, followed by speculation about the coach's identity. Soccer reporter Sun Dexin confirmed the news, pointing out that the coach is the same Gao Yao who had led Kunshan FC to leave a deep mark.

In fact, the reason why Gao Yao became the former national team coach is because Li Xiaopeng set up a 15-member assistant coaching team after he took office. Gao Yao was part of the team, along with domestic and international coaches such as Yu Genwei, Chen Yang, Zhao Junzhe, Zheng Zhi, Sun Jihai, Shao Jia and others, who formed Li Xiaopeng's national team assistant coaching team. It is reported that Gao Yao was taken away this time, may be related to his relationship with Li Tie during his coaching period in Hebei Huaxia Happiness, perhaps involved in some issues that triggered the investigation.

Famous domestic soccer reporter Miao Yuan further pointed out that Gao Yao's being investigated this time means that the scope of the investigation has been further expanded, perhaps meaning that more people will be involved, which is undoubtedly a brand new challenge for Chinese soccer. As Xu Liang said, more and more people may not be able to sleep at night because of this, as the fate of many people may be involved behind every person taken away. However, we also look forward to a brighter future for Chinese soccer through this severe overhaul.
