For the first time, the FA Cup was settled in Changchun in the form of a tournament system, attracting Shanghai Shenhua, Shenzhen, Cangzhou Lions, Zhejiang, Sichuan Minzu, Zibo Keju and Shaanxi Warriors to surpass 7 Chinese Super League, Chinese First Division and Chinese Second Division teams to Changchun Yatai Jingyue Base. Among these 7 teams, more than ten footballers who have played for Changchun Yatai have "gone home". Among them, Zibo Keju's assistant coaches Wang Dong and Han Deming, and goalkeeper Dong Yifan saw the huge changes in Changchun Yatai and gave a thumbs up.
"I am very happy to take the opportunity of the FA Cup to return to Changchun and come to the Yatai Jingyue base to train and compete. Seeing the newly built Jingyue base reminds me of the days when I used to fight in Changchun. At that time, we did not have such good conditions, and we hoped that the players who trained here would cherish the opportunity, train well, and contribute to the club and Changchun. Wang Dong, one of the former Yatai Gemini stars, sighed like this!
