In the 1970s, the players of China national team were the same as Gu Guangming and Rong Zhixing. Chen Xirong has participated in three national games, two Asian Cup finals and World Cup qualifiers. 1984 After retiring, he served as the head coach of Guangdong Team, China Youth Team and Guangzhou Team. He is also the only head coach who has coached all three teams in Guangzhou (Sun God, Hongyuan and Songri) in A-A .. Later, he also coached China national team and Olympic team. After Chen Xirong turned to be a commentator, he was quickly recognized by fans with his understanding and authority of football, excellent language organization ability and free explanation style. Although most of Chen Xirong's explanations are in Mandarin, his Cantonese explanations are more comfortable.

Chen Xirong, young fans may not know this person at all; Older fans may have forgotten him.

However, it cannot be denied that Chen Xirong trained Chuliang Ou, Xie Yuxin, Wu Wenbing, Peng Weiguo, Hu Zhijun, Gao Feng, Ma Mingyu and Wei Qun for Guangdong football and China football, and he also witnessed the darkest historical moment of Guangzhou professional football ten years ago.

1998 In the second half, Chen Xirong was ordered at a critical moment and failed to turn the tide. In fact, this has little to do with Chen Xirong. 1At the beginning of 998, Peng Weiguo, Hu Zhijun, Peng, Feng Feng, Zhu, Cai Qinghui, Shen Rong, etc. 1 1 players have left the Sun God team. The whole Guangzhou Sun God team is almost empty. At that time, the foundation of the Sun God team had fallen, and even the immortals could not be saved.

In the interview, Chen Xirong has been trying to avoid the past experience of coaching the Guangzhou Sun God team and is unwilling to talk more.

Nevertheless, the conversation with Chen Xirong is still a very pleasant thing. He is humble, low-key and frank, and has his own unique views on the problem. Chen Xirong, who left professional football, lived very peacefully. He goes to work every day, surfing the Internet, running, 3: 0 1, and never asks anything about football in China.

He has always stressed that "he is not qualified to comment on China football" and "he left because he thought he was not suitable for the rules of China football".

"If you see through some problems, you will live a lot easier." Chen Xirong said.
