As we all know, the eight champions of the Chinese Super League Guangzhou team have been rumored to be very much in recent times, and it is said that the entire first-team players will leave the team, including executive head coach Zheng Zhi. And some reporters confirmed that the team that Zheng Zhi is about to join is the Shenzhen team!
Don't look at Zheng Zhi this year is 41 years old, but his level is enough for him to play in the Chinese Super League for a few more years. Players of the same age have long retired, and many post-00 players have emerged, but Zheng Zhi is still that Zheng Zhi, and when we watch the live broadcast of the game, many commentators are also a "zhi brother" shouting, which is very interesting. How old Zheng Zhi can play and when to retire has become a point of view in the Chinese Super League.
Last season' Zheng Zhi has successfully transformed from a player to a coach, coaching Guangzhou for 8 games, and the record without foreign aid is 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, which can be said to be very surprising. If there is no accident, I believe that Zheng Zhi will still coach the Guangzhou team, but with the release of the "strictest salary reduction order" of the Guangzhou team, the possibility of Zheng Zhi staying in the Guangzhou team is almost gone.
Zheng Zhi is now definitely going to leave the Guangzhou team, and it is said that the next home is the same provincial team Shenzhen team. The Shenzhen team has introduced a lot of local reinforcements over the years, including captain Gao Lin, and with Gao Lin's matchmaking, Zheng Zhi's joining has also come to fruition.
What is even more coincidental is that the new head coach of the Shenzhen team is Lee Jang-so, a South Korean who once coached Guangzhou Evergrande. At that time, when Guangzhou Evergrande was still a Chinese League A team, the then head coach Li Zhangsu advocated the introduction of Zheng Zhi, who had no ball to play after returning from abroad, and Zheng Zhi also began a brilliant "Evergrande Dynasty" career. So to some extent, Lee Jang-so has the grace of knowing Jeong Ji, and this time their reunion does not know what kind of spark will be wiped out.
The only thing I don't know now is what the specific role of Zheng Zhi to go to Shenzhen is, it may be a player, it may be Lee Jang-so's assistant coach, but I think the biggest possibility is still the dual identity of player and coach.
We all know that the shenzhen team's record in recent years is not very good, although a large number of well-known internal and external aid have been introduced, but their level is not high, and the fans are very dissatisfied. The addition of Zheng Zhi can directly upgrade the midfield of the Shenzhen team by a notch, although it is not very realistic to let the 41-year-old Zheng Zhi play all the games, but it is also worth playing half of the game. I have to say that because of Zheng Zhi's joining, the turnaround of the Shenzhen team has finally come.
