Today Beijing Guoan Football Club officially announced the joining of Zhang Chengdong, following the return of Xie Feng, Zhang Chengdong also returned to the workers' stadium again after five years, and the former Hebei coach and captain were reunited in Guoan again.
Previously, during Zhang Chengdong's first time in Guoan, his excellent physical fitness and ability to break through on the flanks were deeply impressive. Due to the expiration of his contract with Hebei team at the end of last year, so he was absent from the second stage of hebei team due to suspension events and injuries, Zhang Chengdong has been playing wild ball to maintain his state, there are photos showing that wearing Hebei team uniform deliberately wearing the team badge to cover up, public opinion speculated that he will most likely leave the team.
During his recuperation period, he also participated in the C-level coach training course held by the Chinese Football Association, which made his future seem uncertain. When I asked Zhang Chengdong if he had retired from this, he gave a negative answer, he said that he had to take the C grade first, many players were playing while taking the coaching card, and he still had the dream of continuing to play.
In fact, in the winter window of 2019, Zhang Chengdong talked to Guoan about the return, when he still had a contract with the Hebei team, and now he is a free body return, which can be regarded as a wish. Zhang Chengdong, 32 years old, was born in Liaoning Football Youth Training and has played for Liaoning Hongyun, Portuguese Second Division Mafra, Portuguese Premier League Leiria, Portuguese Premier League Bellamal, German Second Division Brunswick, Beijing Guoan, La Liga Vallecano, Hebei Club.

Regarding the return of Zhang Chengdong this time, his ability to play multiple positions and his rich experience in the game are indeed very important for Guoan, who is now in the process of personnel turnover.
In the 2022 season, Zhang Chengdong will wear the No. 28 shirt of Beijing Guoan for the club. Previously, the owner of the No. 28 shirt, He Xiangyu, whose loan contract expired at the end of last year, has now returned to England and will not stay in the team for the new season.
