They had wanted to use the EAFF E-1 Football Championship to test the effect of [King's Might], but the first match had not made that possible.
The reason was simple: the prerequisite for triggering [King's Might] was that he had to start and serve as captain. Tang Ye had come off the bench today, so it was quite a shame.

"Judging from Japan and South Korea's match, they don't seem to be using the EAFF E-1 Football Championship to test their teams' strength, because I saw them field a lot of substitutes."
Tang Ye gave the fans some bad news during his post-match interview.
After yesterday's match between Japan and South Korea, China national football team's plans for the EAFF E-1 Football Championship had also changed.
The China national football team had originally intended to use the matches against Japan and South Korea to assess the team's level, but neither Japan nor South Korea placed much importance on this tournament, and both fielded substitutes.
There was nothing they could do about that. China national football team could only slack off along with them.
You wanted Tang Ye to play against Japan and South Korea's reserve players?
That was ridiculous—exhausting and completely without benefit.
"Do you have anything to say about the upcoming World Cup?"
"...The draw is bad. Very bad..."

"We'll find a way, yeah."

1. China national football team's main players, including Tang Ye, Wu Lei, Zhang Yuning, Jiang Guangtai, and others, would not participate in the next two EAFF E-1 Football Championship matches.
2. The World Cup draw was bad,
