On October 9, the network suddenly spread the latest gossip about Changchun Yatai player Ci Henglong, Yatai club quickly responded to this.

Yatai Club issued a statement that: Recently, we noticed that club member Ci Henglong made remarks involving personal privacy on social platforms. The club has immediately contacted Ci Henglong's parents and asked the player and his family to effectively clarify the facts, and will closely monitor the progress of the situation. In the 20th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL), in addition to the matchups in the Championship Division, a number of matches were equally exciting. For example, the match between Changchun Yatai and Shanghai SIPG, who remained undefeated in the previous round of Chinese Super League matches, was good news for Changchun Yatai. Analyzing the opponent in depth, perhaps Yang Chen's team can seize the opportunity. After all, Wu Lei and Xu Xin are unable to play, which may be a good opportunity for other teams.

At the beginning of the game, Shanghai Hong Kong took the initiative on the field and Vargas was comfortable in the midfield. Lu Wenjun scored two goals in a row. Before half time, Tan Long was injured and Wang Oulong assisted Cheng Changcheng to score, Changchun Yatai equalized. In the second half, Paulinho and Li Shenglong added another goal to extend the lead. In the end, Changchun Yatai defeated Shanghai Hong Kong 4-1, which was the first time Shanghai Hong Kong beat Changchun Yatai on the road since 2016. The victory was not easy. From the technical statistics, Changchun Yatai, compared with Shanghai Hong Kong, 43%-57% ball control, 7-16 shots, 3-8 shots on goal, it can be seen that Shanghai Hong Kong dominated and the victory was not a coincidence.

Changchun Yatai (soccer team)

This season's performance has been a far cry from last season, with many games looking uncompetitive. Yang Chen's coaching ability is often questioned. In the post-match press conference, Changchun Yatai head coach Yang Chen said: in the early stages of the game, the team was passive, but it was more a matter of the players' psychological state, not daring to fight with the opponents. In the case of 0-2 behind, the players, on the contrary, put down the psychological baggage, positive attack and scramble, dare to lead, so as to create some opportunities.

Despite the strength of the opponent, I hope that the players can learn from this game, no matter what kind of opponent, we have to face bravely. After the game, some fans revealed that in response to the 1-4 loss and the previous performance of good and bad, the management of Yatai Club is deeply dissatisfied and intends to try to replace the head coach.

Li Tie, the former head coach of the National Football League, is expected to replace Yang Chen on an emergency basis, especially after the team's defense was completely out of touch with last season, and the lineup was basically unchanged yet they were unable to play an effective coordination and defensive formation, which caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the fans. Li Tie has led Wuhan Changjiang to a number of great matches, especially with his strong defensive counterattacking ability. For Li Tie now, he needs to find the right stage to prove himself again, so his salary will not be too high, which is one of the reasons why the management is considering him.

Personally, I think Changchun Yatai still has a lot of problems. I hope the management thinks deeply about what kind of head coach the team really needs. Perhaps Yang Chen has really lost control of the team and it's time to make a change.
