In the second round of the group stage of the U23 Asian Cup, the national Olympic team played against the South Korean team. In the 83rd minute of the game, Cheng Yaodong once again made a strange move for Jin Yong to replace Tao Qianglong.
In the first game against the Japanese team, Yu Jinyong came off the bench as a center forward, and Cheng Yaodong's tactics sparked heated discussions in the media, and Yu Jinyong was also called a goalkeeper swingman by fans and the media.
In the face of questions from the media, Cheng Yaodong did not change his mind. In fact, Yu Jinyong is 2 meters tall, and he also practiced as a striker at the beginning of his career, and during the preparation for the game, Cheng Yaodong also let Yu Jinyong shoot continuously.
In the first 25 minutes, it was 5 good chances, but unfortunately, Bai Helamu, Tao Qianglong, and Xie Wenneng repeatedly missed opportunities. In the second half, Xie Wen was able to waste another good chance.
In the case of falling behind 0-2, Cheng Yaodong made another substitution, and Jin Yong replaced Tao Qianglong, and once again sacrificed the twin tower tactics.
