Feng Xiaoting, the former soccer star, seems to have shown his unique style in the hosting world as well. Fans teased, "Don't think that people haven't seen your real ability to play soccer, when you get older, you might be even more of a headache than you were back then!"
Feng Xiaoting is not only a great player on the field, but also a brilliant writer off the field. He once wrote a long article of over 2,000 words that sparked the "Feng Gong Battle". Many of his masterpieces have been circulated online, and he has even participated in a funny meeting. Recently, Feng Xiaoting has launched a program called "Blow Siting", interviewing famous players such as Zheng Zhi, Huang Bowen and Paulinho. It is believed that more players will be interviewed by him in the future, unveiling the mystery of Chinese soccer.
Having left the field for a long time, Feng Xiaoting has not been idle. He hosted the match between the 85 National Youth and the Chinese Super League stars and said in an interview that the original purpose of organizing the match was to pass on the spirit of soccer and rekindle people's love of soccer.
However, Feng Xiaoting seems to be a bit off-topic in his expression. Talking about the 85 National Youth players, he confessed, "When we were young, it was easy to beat Japan and South Korea." He sees this game as a match between the 85 National Youth and the Chinese Super League stars (the AFC Champions League team), as well as the 10th anniversary of the AFC Champions League in Chinese soccer. He wants to make more people understand the beauty of Chinese soccer through this game, to pass on and influence good things, and to make more young people fall in love with soccer again.
Although the starting point is worth recognizing, some of Feng Xiaoting's comments have sparked controversy. A fan pointed out, "Don't think people haven't seen you play soccer, when was it so easy to play Japan and South Korea?" He argued that although Guangzhou Evergrande has a strong lineup, it is the foreigners who really play a key role. Even so, they have also played with Japan South Korea team, the national team is more so. 85 national youth although had a moment of glory, but only a flash in the pan.
Feng Xiaoting and his players are indeed confident and undaunted against the Japanese and South Korean teams. But they also admit that it is not as easy as Feng Xiaoting said. You have to be honest and trustworthy, and since you are now committed to the legacy and want to influence good things, you should at least practice what you preach and not exaggerate the facts.
