In the first round of the group stage of the U23 Asian Cup, the national Olympic team lost 0-1 to the Japanese team. In the final moments of the game, Cheng Yaodong replaced goalkeeper Jin Yong, but he played as a center forward, which caused a certain amount of controversy.
After Takaya Nishio was sent off, the national football team then took the initiative on the field, Tao Qianglong, Bai Helamu, and Xie Wenneng all got good opportunities to score, but they were also wasted one by one.
However, after Xie Wenneng missed a good chance in the 47th minute, it was difficult for the National Olympic Games to create a good chance to score. At the last moment, Cheng Yaodong made his last substitution, and Yu Jinyong came on as a substitute.
However, as a goalkeeper, Yu Jinyong appeared in the opponent's penalty area after he came out. Such a substitution caused a huge controversy, commentator Lu Zhongyuan said, "This is the goalkeeper, go up to play the center, he is the tallest player in this class, this scene has only been seen in the game." ”
Xu Yi, a media person, said, "The National Olympic team, which has received the least attention in recent years, played the Japanese team at the last moment with a substitute goalkeeper as a high striker and is still fighting to score goals, and can still see the possibility of scoring points, which is actually a little moved." ”
Unable to score goals and equalize the score when playing one more player, Cheng Yaodong was bombarded again, Huang Jianxiang said, "The national team can no longer use laid-off coaches from clubs, or even local coaches." ”
Song Chengliang also said, "The local head coach can't lead the national team, and we are too backward in football. ”
Zhu Xiaolong said, "This U23 national football team has no ability to score, and scored a few goals in the first four warm-up games, most of which were penalty kicks. So Cheng Yaodong had already prepared the appearance clothes of the players on the field for the substitute goalkeeper and asked him to top the ball. ”
However, Zhao Zhen explained the reason for Cheng Yaodong's substitution, "The Chinese team replaced the 2-meter-tall substitute goalkeeper Jin Yong with a striker at the last moment, and his father is the old Liaozu Jin left-footed Yu Ming. Jin Yong was a frontcourt player who practiced since he was younger, and then he was too tall to change the goalkeeper. ”
