On the evening of January 11, Guangzhou's main right-back Deng Hanwen updated social media, forwarded the video of Guangzhou thanking the fans after the end of the season, and wrote: "Thank you for these 4 years, because of you to make the city warmer." Considering that the contract with Guangzhou has expired, the international flying wing is likely to leave the team, and before the end of the last round, he went out of the division to sign and tears for the fans, coupled with this late-night post of thanks, his departure is estimated to be a foregone conclusion.
This season, Deng Hanwen has completely regained his form, playing in 19 games in the Chinese Super League, scoring 21 points and 5 assists, averaging 1.63 steals, 1.47 interceptions and 0.74 clearances per game, with a passing success rate of 91%. Sharp breakthroughs, steady defensive interceptions and unexpected insertion of attacks are all vaguely reminiscent of the talented teenager who was still playing in the middle of the league but was called into the national football team by Lippi to play in the round of 12. In Li Xiaopeng's first national football roster, Deng Hanwen is also on the list, which is also a recognition of his outstanding performance this season.
Now, the 27-year-old wing has chosen to leave the Guangzhou team, in fact, he has his own considerations. After Evergrande suffered an operational crisis, the eight champions of the Chinese Super League were in turmoil, and the team played in the second stage of the 2021 Chinese Super League without salary and logistics, although they finally won the third place in the league with their own efforts, but the players still could not see the future. Therefore, finding a stable team has become their greatest wish, and Deng Hanwen is no exception.
In this regard, Xu Xin, the former teammate of the Guangzhou players, has made the best example with actions, and he joined Shandong Taishan before the start of last season, not only becoming the absolute main force of the team, but also winning the league cup double with the team and being selected for the national football team with excellent performances. Of course, more importantly, Shandong Taishan, which does not owe wages, is one of the few teams in the Chinese Super League that operates stably and steadily, and is a paradise for countless local players.
Therefore, now that Deng Hanwen has left the team, many people have also associated his next stop with Taishan in Shandong. Of course, in addition to Taishan in Shandong, Shanghai Harbor and Beijing Guoan are also his popular homes. So, which team will he be a member of? First of all, the possibility of Taishan in Shandong is really unlikely.
Shandong Taishan has always been known for its large number of soldiers, and in the right-back position that Deng Hanwen is best at, Taishan has a number of players such as Ji Xiang, Wang Tong, Qi Tianyu and Li Hailong, and the veteran Zhang Chi can also be qualified for this position, if Deng Hanwen joins, he is bound to face unprecedented fierce competition, and his playing time cannot be guaranteed at all. Therefore, even if the Taishan team is a good family, the 27-year-old Deng Hanwen is far from the age of retirement, and he should not choose the Taishan team.
Shanghai Harbour, the runner-up in the Chinese Super League, also has an excellent backline, with their 14 goals conceded even two less than champions Shandong Taishan. In the right-back position, the 24-year-old Li Shenyuan is The harbor's biggest discovery of the season, he played in 22 games in all competitions to score 4 goals and assists 3 times, including 16 appearances in the Chinese Super League, 2 goals and 2 assists, and in the first leg of the match with Shenzhen, he actively inserted the ball after Oscar's pass. In addition to Li Shenyuan, Wang Shenchao, Chen Binbin, Fu Huan, Zhang Wei and others can also serve as right-backs, and there is no shortage of people in this position.
In this way, Beijing Guoan is Deng Hanwen's ideal next home. In the position of Guoan right-back, international Wang Gang is the absolute main force, but relying on speed and breakthrough to eat, he will turn 33 this year, and it may be a little difficult to continue to maintain excellent form, and in addition to Wang Gang, Liu Huan, Jiang Tao and other players are also over thirty years old, in fact, even if they are five years younger, they are not outstanding at right-back. In this case, if Guoan can sign Deng Hanwen, it is bound to make the right side attack more powerful. It is also very helpful in promoting the rejuvenation of the back line.
Of course, this season Guoan also broke the news of unpaid wages, but the operating conditions of Sinobo Group have always been stable, chairman Zhou Jinhui's love for this team is also from the heart, the difficulty may only be temporary, over this hurdle, Guoan is still the ambitious team. Therefore, Deng Hanwen's choice of Guoan will not be wrong.
