On September 1, Lang Ping officially announced on his personal social media that he stepped down as the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and on September 2, Xie Feng, who had served as the head coach of Guoan and Hebei, also posted a tribute to Lang on his personal social media.
Lang Ping's time as a player and as a coach has always been a role model for us to learn from in football. Eight years you have brought a lot of honor to the country, a lot of surprises and joy to the fans across the country. Your departure from the Chinese women's volleyball team is not a failure, but the beginning of your own new life. We Chinese football coaches should learn from Lang Ping, do anything modestly, and keep learning. Young Chinese football coaches have a little bit of achievements at the dinner table and start to brag, the gap is too big, which is one of the reasons why Chinese football is not going to go up. —— Xie Feng
In this text, Xie Feng first expressed his respect and gratitude for Lang Ping's guidance, but then, he turned his words sharply and satirized Xie Hui, who had just "fallen" on the wine table before. Earlier, at a dinner party, Xie Hui, then head coach of Nantong Zhiyun, said: "Chengdu Rongcheng team coach Xu Zhengyuan (South Korean coach) did not understand football at all, they spent 200 million, and the result was still suppressed by my team. Nantong, which I coached, only spent 10 million yuan to win the fifth place in the Middle League. In addition, Xie Hui also revealed that when he was a teaching assistant in SIPG, SIPG spent a total of 12 billion yuan to win the championship. What Xie Hui did not expect was that the wine friends who dined with him actually uploaded the video of the speech to the Internet, and caused a huge controversy from the outside world. Later, under the pressure of public opinion, Nantong Zhiyun Club parted ways with Xie Hui, who also said that he would go to Germany for further study and would not lead the team for the time being.
Although Xie Hui's remarks may be inappropriate, xie Feng used Lang to guide Him to retire and secretly satirize Xie Hui, and the local coach is so "inward-volume", which has also caused a lot of controversy, and some netizens commented: Xie Hui is indeed higher than your level.
On the evening of September 1, Xie Feng, as a local coach, also "called" for Li Tie on his personal social media, he wrote: "I wish the Chinese men's football team good results under the leadership of Li Tie, and the Chinese coach is not worse than foreign coaches." Hopefully, the first match will be won over Australia. Believe in ourselves! Come on! Last season, Xie Feng led Hebei to early relegation, but after the contract expired, the two sides did not renew their contracts.
