After the Chinese Super League entered the offseason, the news of the transfer of players from various teams became the focus of fans' attention, and Shandong Taishan, the double champion of the Chinese Super League last season, was undoubtedly one of the teams that fans paid the most attention to.
Although the Taishan team has not officially introduced new signings, several players have left the team, in addition to Guo Tianyu, who stayed in Europe, foreign aid Kadar has also confirmed that he will return to Hungary next season to play.
In addition, the news that Xu Xin's transfer to Shanghai Harbor has also been confirmed, and he will officially join the Harbor team on the 21st of this month.
As the main player in the Taishan midfield last season, Xu Xin's performance in the league is still very good. Therefore, his departure will undoubtedly cause a certain loss to Tarzan's midfield strength. Therefore, Taishan Club is also actively looking for a local back player to play as Xu Xin's stand-in recently.
At present, there are not few local midfielders who have rumors with Taishan, but the club has not yet officially announced. And just when the team's midfield is in urgent need of personnel, Taishan has another midfielder who has left the team, he is Chen Zhechao.
Chen Zhechao will join the Chinese Super League promotion Team Mameizhou Hakka team in the new season, and he has now traveled to Meizhou and begun to practice with the team.
Chen Zhechao, 27 years old, born in Wuhan, Hubei Province, entered luneng football school at a very young age, as one of the members of the 95 golden generation of luneng youth training, Chen Zhechao has been optimistic by many people in football circles, and he is considered to be the "zhengzheng successor" of the future luneng team.
Because of his outstanding performance in the youth team, he was also selected to study in Portugal in 2011, and during his five years in Portugal, Chen Zhechao played for a number of teams such as Real Sports Society, Oriental Dragons and Torreas.
At the beginning of 2016, Chen Zhechao returned to China and officially joined the Shandong Luneng first team. Although he was soon given the opportunity to appear in the Chinese Super League, Chen Zhechao never played a convincing enough performance in the team. As a result, most of his time at Luneng was spent on the bench.
It was not until the 2017 season that the Chinese Super League introduced the U23 policy that Chen Zhechao regained the opportunity to play, but due to the impact of injury, he did not appear for the Luneng team this season. In the following 2018 season, Chen Zhechao won a total of 10 appearances. And this is also the most appearances he has made in a single season in many seasons with Luneng.
Unable to gain a foothold in the team, Chen Zhechao switched to Guangzhou R&F on loan in the 2020 season. This season, Chen Zhechao played a total of 15 games for R&F, and his performance was still recognized by the team's coaching staff.
After ending his loan spell at R&F, Chen Zhechao returned to Shandong Taishan last season, but he still couldn't get enough playing time due to too many good players in the same position in the team.
Therefore, after the expiration of his contract with Taishan last year, Chen Zhechao did not renew his contract with the club, but chose to go to other teams to break through. Previously, there was news that Chen Zhechao would return to his hometown and join Li Xiaopeng to join the Wuhan team, but he finally chose to join Meizhou Hakka, a new army in the Chinese Super League.
As an all-rounder on the field, Chen Zhechao can not only play in the back position, but also be competent in multiple wing positions such as left back and wing-back. In the current Chinese Super League, good left-footed wingers are very scarce. Therefore, I believe that Chen Zhechao can completely play the main position in Meizhou Hakka.
Here, we would also like to wish Chen Zhechao a new peak in his career after joining a new team, and use his outstanding performance to prove that he is fully worthy of the title of "Luneng Football School Elite Player".
