Decades ago, especially in the 1980s, Guangdong football has always been the hegemon of Chinese football, most of the members of the national team are from Guangdong, and only Liaoning 1 team in the north can compete with it. Guangdong football belongs to the typical "southern style of play", characterized by "small fast spirit". In recent decades, our Guangdong has produced many international players, of which these 6 can be called great players in Guangdong, which is very representative. Because they are so good, even internationals like Peng Weiguo and Hu Zhijun can't be ranked.
Guangdong football great player 6: Xie Yuxin
In 1987, an international with a height of less than 1.7 meters successfully stayed in the Dutch First Division and joined Zwolle. He is The Famous Guangdong Resident Xie Yuxin. This southern player was known for his speed and physical strength, and was later forced to return to China because of the National Games to terminate his future in the ocean. At the 1988 Olympics, he singled out the West German backline. In the 1988 Asian Cup, Xie Yuxin scored 2 goals against Syria. In the 1992 Asian Cup, he scored the Japanese goal in just 30 seconds.
Guangdong football great player 5: Wu Qunli
In the 1980s and 1990s, Guangdong celebrity Wu Qunli was a regular visitor to the national football team, and appeared in major competitions such as the World Preliminary Tournament, the Asian Cup and the Olympic Games. In 1993, he was also the captain of the national team. In 1994, he went to play in the Hong Kong League A giants South China and played for 5 years in one go. I remember that he often used his left foot to complete the goal, and people gave him the nickname "Golden Left Foot".
Guangdong football great player 4: Mai Chao
In the 1982 Asian Youth Championship, China won the second place and got the ticket for the 1983 World Youth Championship. At that time, the newcomer Mai Chao turned out to be a player and scored 6 penalties. From 1981 to 1995, he played in Guangzhou. From 1986 to 1992, Mai Chao made 45 appearances for the national football team, scoring 16 goals, and set-pieces and penalties were his scoring weapons. Whenever later people mentioned "penalty experts", everyone invariably remembered this Guangdong famous hostel.
Guangdong football great player 3: Zhao Dayu
In 1982, a 21-year-old man with a height of 1.60 meters was born in guangzhou and later came to the national team. He is the famous "short-legged tiger" Zhao Dayu. He served in the national football team for 4 years, making 29 appearances and scoring 19 goals. In 1984, in the Nehru Cup, Zhao Dayu successfully killed his opponent against Argentina, who was on the main force except for the old horse. His technique, dribbling, and accuracy of his shots were all top notch, but unfortunately he fell at the feet of an injury.
Guangdong football great player 2: Gu Guangming
Height 1 meter 69, extremely fast, flexible body, outstanding, first-class dribbling, good at picking, known as the national football winger model, he is the famous "loach" - Gu Guangming. Known as Gu Zai, he was selected for the national football team at the age of 19 and represented the national team in the 1982 and 1986 World Preliminary Tournaments. In 1985, Gu Zai was also named to the "Asian All-Star Team". From 1987 to 1993, Gu Guangming played in Darmstadt and spent some time in the Bundesliga.
Guangdong football great player 1: Rong Zhixing
If you want to ask which is no.1 in the history of Guangdong football, then it must be Rong Zhixing. From 1972 to 1981, he played in three positions of winger, forward and center forward, and in the 1976 Asian Cup, Rong Zhixing helped the national football team to reach the third place. In the 1982 World Preliminary Tournament, Rong Zhixing, as a Chinese nuclear power, almost brought the national football team to the World Cup, if it were not for Saudi Arabia's inexplicable 0:5 New Zealand, China would have qualified with an overwhelming advantage. Remember the play-offs, Rong Zhixing, who played with an injury, led the whole team to fight hard against New Zealand, and fought until he was injured again; in the end, we China hated the small loss 1:2 and bid farewell to the Spanish World Cup. Rong Zhixing can be said to have no shortcomings except for his thin body, he dribbling, passing, organizing, shooting is first-class.
These 6 people are the great players in the history of Guangdong football, Wu Qunli is 5th, Gu Guangming is only 2nd, Zhao Dayu is 3rd, and Rong Zhixing, who is 1st, is well deserved and difficult to surpass.
