Although Chinese football has been stagnant for many years, when it comes to national football celebrities, legendary players can't help but say many names, because you really love it: Chinese football! As a fan, everyone has their favorite players and their own legends. However, when it comes to active players in Chinese football, then whether you like it or not, you can't help but think of one person: Zheng Zhi!
Before November 2021, when we mention Zheng Zhi, we will talk more about his skills, titles, experience in foreign countries, as well as the imprint left by several giants in the Chinese Super League and his age. As the oldest active player in the Chinese Super League and even in Chinese football, he has become a legend in Chinese football. However, this legend continues. Forced by the unprecedented difficulties encountered by the Guangzhou club, the 41-year-old veteran Zheng Zhi received a temporary appointment and became the executive head coach of the Guangzhou team.
From that moment on, he became the focus of fan and media attention. His coaching ability, whether he will warm up on the sidelines as a registered player, has become a topic of discussion among fans and the media. However, Zheng Zhi did not give fans and the media the opportunity to watch him warm up on the sidelines, as he directly started in the Chinese Super League. In the 21st round of the Chinese Super League, which just ended yesterday, 41-year-old Guangzhou coach Zheng Zhi made his debut and played 90 minutes. And with 4 interceptions, 4 clearances and 19 long passes, he scored the highest rating of 7.9 points in the game, and was also named the best player of the game after the game.
Today, the well-known foreign rating media "sofascore" also selected the best lineup for the 21st round of the Chinese Super League, and the 41-year-old Zheng Zhi was once again on the list. As a 41-year-old veteran, I can still do that I am a brick on the pitch, where I need to move, I really have to say that you are a legend of Chinese football. However, being named the best team and the best team is not the end, in the People's Daily and a sports platform of the Chinese Super League MVP selection, 41-year-old Zheng Zhi was once again selected for the shortlist, and the vote rate is far ahead of other players.
As of press time, Zheng Zhi had won 227681 votes, accounting for 68% of the total number of votes, and Zheng Zhi's votes continued to soar. As far as the current voting situation is concerned, the 41-year-old Guangzhou head coach has locked up the title of the best player in the 21st round of the Chinese Super League in advance. That is to say, zheng zhi won many honors that were difficult for many players to touch throughout the season with 1 game. Speaking of this, I can't help but feel a little emotional, lamenting that there is no successor in Chinese football, and the 41-year-old veteran still has to play for 90 minutes.
Now it seems that Zheng Zhi is not only excellent in his skills, but also the ceiling for China's active players. And the coaching ability is also surprising, taking over the Guangzhou team in just a few days, it has activated a number of young players. I hope that next season he can continue to lead the Guangzhou team, promote and cultivate more rising stars for the Guangzhou team and Chinese football, and let himself disappear after the fans' tea and dinner!
