On October 28, Japanese J2 League team Machida Zevia announced on its official website that the 38-year-old North Korean striker Jung Dae-se, who played for the team, would retire at the end of the season, and Jung Dae-seh said emotionally on the team's official website: "I started my football career in college, and I have spent 17 years in the professional arena now." I've been racing on the stage of my dreams all these years, and now with the whistle, my football career will come to an end, and I can take off my boots with my head held high and get ready for a new life. I am very grateful to the people who have helped support me over the years, because I consider myself a silly, naïve, and somewhat ego person. If my personality wasn't so ostentatious, would I be able to enjoy a more wonderful view? ”
Born in Nagoya, Japan, in 1984, his parents were expatriates from Uiseong, Gyeongbuk in South Korea, and for 16 years from elementary school to university, Jeong Dae-seh attended a school affiliated to the "General Federation of Japanese Korean Nationals", which also laid the groundwork for his future representation of the North Korean men's soccer team. In early 2006, Zheng Daishi officially began his career with the Japanese side Kawasaki Frontale. Four years later, in the prime of his career, he represented the North Korean men's soccer team on the stage of the World Cup. In the first round of the World Cup group stage match between North Korea and Brazil in South Africa, when the national anthem sounded, Zheng Dashi couldn't help but burst into tears, which not only shocked the world, but also became one of the classic moments in that World Cup. At that time, many people thought that Zheng Dashi was in tears because of the patriotic plot in his heart, but years later, he seemed to be more excited to tears because he realized his dream of a personal career.
Shortly after the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Bundesliga side Bochum spent €250,000 to bring the physically fit, shooter to the centre for the first time in his career. In the following year and a half, Zheng made 43 appearances for Bochum, contributing 15 goals and five assists. In January 2012, Zheng Dashi moved to Bundesliga side Cologne, but he did not show convincing ability in the Bundesliga, and 11 games were not scored. In January 2013, Zheng Daishi returned to play in Asia, playing for Suwon Samsung, Shimizu Agitation, Niigata Swan, Machida Zevia and other teams, and has won the Korean K League runner-up and Japan J2 League top scorer.
It is worth mentioning that in the 2009 AFC Champions League, Zheng Dashi, who played for Kawasaki Frontale at the time, also played against Tianjin in Tianjin. However, in that game, the rude Zheng Dashi did not leave a good impression on the Jinmen fans. Since the start of the game, Zheng Dashi has constantly clashed with the Tianjin players, and almost half of the conflicts on the field were provoked by him. With goals from Ma Leilei and Tomasi, Tianjin TEDA finally won 3-1 at home against Kawasaki Frontale.
After the game, the unbalanced Zheng Dashi appeared even more excited, he even waved his teammates not to shake hands with the TEDA players, and walked straight to the player tunnel. Thanks to the strong request of the head coach, Kawasaki Frontale's players were able to complete the closing session. And when Zheng Dashi walked to the sidelines, he had lost his mind and began to provoke Tianjin fans again, he first put his hand to his ear, made the action of listening to the voices of Tianjin fans, and then pointed his finger at Tianjin fans, and suddenly leaned his body back, as if hit by a bullet, and made a strange expression on his face. Presumably, this is what Zheng Dashi said in his retirement speech about "good character". Maybe he thinks that this can enjoy the beautiful scenery, but in the eyes of fans, especially Tianjin fans, such a "landscape" is not beautiful...
