With the national football team 1:3 defeat Vietnam men's football team, Fan Zhiyi that year to accept the interview of the video once again burst into flames all over the network, all kinds of re-produced video fire each video platform. When the interview within the general Fan pointed out a person's name - Zhao Peng, many friends may not know who Zhao Peng, watching the video did not pay too much attention, but in retrospect there is very curious about who he is, let's get to know Zhao Peng it.
Zhao Peng is a Chinese soccer player who was selected as captain of the national team, and played for the Chinese Super League teams - Henan (Henan Jianye) and Guangzhou (Guangzhou Evergrande) - before retiring. He had scored the only goal in a friendly match between China and Jamaica, helping China beat Jamaica 1:0; also in a warm-up match against New Zealand, Zhao Peng scored a header to help his team draw 1-1 at home.
In 2019, 36-year-old former national soccer captain Zhao Peng regretfully announced his retirement.
Why did Fan Zhiyi criticize Zhao Peng in his interview?
Speaking of which, we have to start with the national football team's 1:5 defeat to Thailand's U23 national team.
On the evening of June 15, 2013, in Hefei, the national football team played a warm-up match, hosting the Thai national team, which is mainly made up of U23 players, and Anhui's local international footballer Zhao Peng served as the captain of the national football team. After the start of the game, the sudden collapse, the first and second halves of the total number of opponents were dunked on five goals, 1-5 defeat Thailand, the battle later hit the national football team ever and Thailand's largest losing score. The only goal of the game is Wang Yongper scored a penalty kick in the game. The fans at the scene were so emotional that they put up slogans remembering Gao (Gao Hongbo: the former head coach of the national football team), and at the same time angrily shouted for Camacho's dismissal.
Fan Zhiyi criticized Zhao Peng for two reasons, one is because Fan Zhiyi is a defender, and saw Zhao Peng playing badly, and he couldn't help but say a few words, and the other is that Zhao Peng was the captain at the time, so it was hard not to be noticed.
After being criticized by General Fan, Zhao Peng
When it comes to Zhao Peng, the first thing that comes to mind is Henan Jianye. Zhao Peng played for the team for 10 years and was a decorated player for Henan Jianye.In 2013, he and Zeng Cheng joined Chinese Super League giants Guangzhou Evergrande. At that time, his transfer value was as high as 20 million dollars. Moreover, Zhao Peng was the main defender of the national soccer team at that time, and was reused by the national team during Gao Hongbo's time. Gao Hongbo once said that as long as Zhao Peng scored a goal, the national football team would never lose.
The loss of the game and General Fan's naming and shaming made Zhao Peng lose his starting position and become a substitute after he returned to Guangzhou Evergrande.In 2014, Zhao Peng joined Changchun Yatai on loan without a ball, but his injuries worsened; he joined Qingdao Zhongneng of the Central League in 2015, still stateless; and he turned to Chengdu Qianbao of the First Division in 2016, with a poor overall performance. Renewed his contract; in his 17th season, he joined the amateur team Hefei Guiguan, promoted to the second year to the second division, but was ordered to cancel by the team due to salary arrears, and left the team again.
In February 2019, before the new soccer season was about to begin, Zhao Peng said in an interview that he had retired. He didn't have any retirement ceremony and didn't even say a word on Twitter, which was heartbreaking.
In fact, there were many reasons for the fiasco of that game. The responsibility for the loss should be borne by all 11 men **** together, not one person's problem, but he never got out of the shadow of the loss to Thailand.
Zhao Peng responded to Fan Zhiyi's criticism of the year
After seven years, Zhao Peng said in an interview: "It's really not good to play as a defender in China. The opponents were weaker and we were a bit gullible. At that time, after Fan Zhiyi's comments came out, I was also more excited when I saw him. Later on, I thought about it, I didn't play well, and as a senior, it's normal to have some accusations. Every defender in China, have been scolded, was scolded, but also very normal."
You can see that he has been completely relieved. Both can reflect on themselves, can also recognize their own shortcomings, but also can understand the predecessor Fan Zhiyi on their own scolding.
I believe that through this article on Zhao Peng have some understanding, but also have some of their own views, welcome to discuss together in the comments section.
