In October 2005, he suffered a serious knee ligament injury in training and was unable to represent Chinese Taipei at the 2005 East Asian Games held in Macau.[2] His absence also impacted the Tatung's results in the Oasis Super Cup,[1] an invitational competition organized by the shoe-making Oasis Group. The injury made him unable to be in the starting lineup during the whole Enterprise Football League 2006 season.[3]

In 2008, Tsai changed his name to Tsai Hsien-tang. He became captain of the Chinese Taipei national football team during the 2008 AFC Challenge Cup.[4]
