Speaking of Cheng Yaodong, the once glorious head coach of the National Olympic Games, he recently quit class because of his poor performance in leading the team, which is really embarrassing. You see, a coach who often answers long-distance phone calls on the sidelines, and a group of lawless descendants who are pampered by him, this scene looks like a bloody drama.
Let's talk about this coach's phone porridge hobby. On the training ground, while he was directing, he suddenly answered a phone call, and then he didn't know where to run to continue the long talk, which really made people laugh and cry. It's no secret that he has this habit, usually fans jokingly call him "Signal Corps Coach", every time he answers the phone, the players automatically enter the free activity mode, how high do you say the quality of this training can be?
As for the matter of pampering the descendants, it makes people feel that this is not leading the team, but simply engaging in a family business. It is reported that Cheng Yaodong has a special preference for players who have worked together since childhood, so much so that they have a "big brother" sense of existence. It is rumored that once a "descendant" player was late, and the whole team did not dare to use chopsticks to eat, and waited until he arrived. This kind of behavior is also rare in the club, let alone the national team.
However, although these behaviors are criticized, Cheng Yaodong's contribution to the National Olympic Games is also obvious to all. Under his leadership, the national Olympic team won the second best result in history in the U23 Asian Cup this time, although it was only 9th, but compared with the previous 1 win and 11 losses, this is already a lot of improvement. It seems that although the method of becoming a coach is strange, there are still some effects.
However, the good times did not last long, Cheng Yaodong's contract expired, and with the dissolution of the National Olympic Games, he also officially stepped down. This may be a relief for many of his critics, but some feel a little sorry for it. After all, under the leadership of Cheng Yaodong, the National Olympic Games did have some vitality, although this vitality was stimulated by some strange methods.
The controversy about him in the media is also mixed. Some have criticized his training methods as being too casual and the long-term telephone communication has hurt the effectiveness of his training, while others have argued that his efforts at club level have been neglected and that the performance of the Olympic team members in the Chinese Super League and the Chinese League has not been satisfactory.
Now, Cheng Yaodong is out of class, and the National Olympic team will also face reorganization. Under such circumstances, we can't help but ask: Are Cheng Yaodong's unconventional methods the tears of the times or a new direction for future football? Will this end of his coaching career, or will other teams be willing to accept this "telephone coach"? And where will our national Olympic team go? These questions may only be answered by time. But in any case, the story of Cheng Yaodong, the coach, will definitely leave a strong mark in the history of Chinese football.
