Chinese football once again fell to the bottom, in the just-concluded U23 Asian Cup, although the Chinese team defeated the United Arab Emirates in the group stage, but in the face of Japan and South Korea, we are still helpless. The team's loss also led to a direct failure to participate in the Paris Olympics, and coach Cheng Yaodong was sprayed enough by netizens. To be honest, there are still a lot of problems in his troop arrangement and on-the-spot scheduling, and he must be responsible for this. In the face of doubts on the Internet, finally, this time, Cheng Yaodong chose to take the initiative to leave, and he resigned as the coach of the National Olympic team. Although some fans were very reluctant, it was a deliberate decision.
Objectively speaking, Cheng Yaodong is unwilling to leave the position of coach of the National Olympic Games, but he has no intention of continuing to lead the team in this position due to the cyberbullying of online public opinion. In addition, the national football team did not fail to win in the group stage, and they defeated Middle Eastern team UAE in the final match, which can be regarded as a perfect end to this competition. In the face of Japan and South Korea, the national Olympic team basically did not fall behind on the field, especially in the match against the Japanese team, the possession rate once exceeded the opponent, but the result was disappointing.
For Cheng Yaodong, it is indeed not easy to bring the National Olympic team to such a height. In fact, fans also think that Cheng Yaodong can stay in office, after all, the Football Association has no intention of asking him to leave, but as Cheng Yaodong himself is concerned, he is still the director of the youth training of the Shanghai Port team. Moreover, the results of Shanghai Port this season are also very good. At the same time, Shanghai Port also made him the head coach of the B team. In terms of salary, he can also get more, and more importantly, he will coach there, without feeling physically and mentally exhausted, and will no longer appear too much in the spotlight and public opinion.
The investment of the Harbour team in the past few years is also obvious to all, as the coach of the Harbour B team, Cheng Yaodong will also lead the team to compete in the second league next season, and his prestige within the Harbour is also very high, and he has cultivated a number of young potential players for the team over the years, which is deeply liked by the players. Don't look at him leading Team B to participate in the second division. Actually, if the conditions allow in the future. There is a good chance that he will be promoted to the first level of manager. At that time, he can join forces with many internationals, and maybe he can help the Harbour team regain the Chinese Super League title.
