A few days ago, according to Yu media reports, Ivo and Zhou Dingyang, whose contracts expired at the end of the year, are likely to leave the Henan Songshan Dragons after the contract ends. Henan Songshan Longmen lost 0-1 to Dalian in the first round of the Chinese Super League relegation group, and many fans felt that if Ivo and Zhou Dingyang were present in this game, the team would definitely not be defeated by Dalian people with average strength. Ivo and Zhou Dingyang are the absolute main players of the Henan team, and the performance in these two seasons is remarkable.
Ivo's absence from the first round of the Relegation Group of the Chinese Super League was due to his injury in the FA Cup. Ivo didn't even make it to the league squad for the current round and had to cheer his teammates on in the stands. Ivo's role in the Henan team is not only reflected in the technical and tactical level, but also in the spiritual level that no one can replace. Whenever Henan Songshan Dragon Gate was deadlocked in the game, Ivo was always the first to step forward.
Ivo is now a 36-year-old foreigner whose contract with the team expires at the end of the year. Therefore, Yu Media analyzed that the possibility of Henan team renewing Ivo's contract is not very large, and the team cannot always rely on a gradually "old" foreign aid. With Ivo being older, the Henan team will be abandoned, and Zhou Dingyang is in the middle of the year of playing.
Zhou Dingyang is a carefully selected naturalized player in the Henan team, and he has always played as an internal support in the team. Zhou Dingyang has a certain ability to organize passes in midfield, and he has good free-kick and long-range shooting skills. Zhou Dingyang quickly conquered the fans and became the recognized main commander of the Henan team. Zhou Dingyang's contract expired at the end of the year, and the Henan team negotiated a contract extension with him in advance.
Zhou Dingyang and Henan team's contract extension progress is not as smooth as expected. He had already returned to the team during henan's preparations for the FA Cup. Later, when there was something going on at home, he quickly returned to England, and there is no new movement so far. Zhou Dingyang confirmed that he did not qualify for the second stage of the Chinese Super League, and whether he could renew his contract in the future has become a huge unknown. After the Henan team lost two main players, fans hope that the team will seize the time to strengthen and let the team enter the right track as soon as possible.
