In the history of Chinese football, those short-lived players will always be extremely sought after by the media for a certain period of time, because we need football talent too much. However, over the past few decades, countless young talents have emerged, but with the passage of time, almost no one has really met the expectations of the outside world, of course, this is also related to the excessive expectations of fans. Today, Xiaobian will help you take stock of several short-lived players in domestic football.
1. Zhang Xiaorui
When it comes to domestic midfielders, everyone will soon think of Zhang Xizhe, Zheng Zhi, Li Xiaopeng and others, but few people will think of one of the "four little swans" of that year - Zhang Xiaorui. In 1999, Zhang Xiaorui, who wore the No. 9 shirt of Tianjin Teda Club for the first time, won the AA Best Newcomer Award, and was selected for the National Olympic Team in the same year, and joined the German Aachen Club two years later. However, during the national Olympic team competition, Zhang Xiaorui suffered rib injuries, which directly affected his personal competitive status. Some people also say that Zhang Xiaorui is too angry with him personally, and he can't go with the seniors of the national team, and finally regrets quitting. In short, after two to three years of highlights, Zhang Xiaorui gradually became mediocre.
2. Deng Zhuoxiang
As the core player of Gao Hongbo's first coaching of the national team, Deng Zhuoxiang's free-kick skills are unique in the world, he once pierced the goal guarded by Lowry in the warm-up match with France, and in the 2010 East Asian Cup, Deng Zhuoxiang faced a South Korean defender, with two consecutive deductions against defenders, scoring goals, and four surprises. Unfortunately, after Gao Hongbo left the national team, Deng Zhuoxiang could not regain his courage and bid farewell to the national team in August 2011 due to a recurrence of injuries. After returning to the Chinese Super League, Deng Zhuoxiang first joined Jiangsu Sainty, and then transferred to Shanghai Shenhua, until he later committed to the Chinese First Division.
3. Chen Zhizhao
In 2010, when he first participated in the Chinese Super League, Chen Zhizhao scored 9 goals, becoming the biggest contributor to the relegation of Nanchang Hengyuan, because of his height of 170cm, coupled with the technical style is very similar to the Barça star Messi at that time, so the fans gave him a nickname, "Nanchang Messi". Chen Zhizhao, who became famous in the Chinese Super League, began to seek a way out of the Yangtze League and was once close to joining the Portuguese Premier League, but the Nanchang Club refused to let anyone go, so Chen Zhizhao refused to play for Nanchang Hengyuan and maintained his status by playing futsal. In February 2012, after many efforts, Chen Zhizhao finally got the opportunity to stay in the Ocean, and he joined the Brazilian giants Corinthians. At this time, Chen Zhizhao was 24 years old, there was little room for improvement, and the competitive level of the Bajia was far inferior to that of the European League, and Chen Zhizhao could not exercise there. Two years later, Chen Zhizhao returned to the Chinese Super League and performed mediocrely.
4. Huang Zichang
In the 2018 season, Huang Zichang scored 5 goals and 3 assists in the Chinese Super League, scoring in his first Chinese Super League game, becoming the first U23 player to score in the 2018 season. In May 2018, Huang Zichang achieved the triple jump of the U21 National Olympic Games, the U23 national team and the adult national team with his excellent performance in the league. November 2018 was a turning point in Huang Zichang's career, he broke his right ankle in training, resulting in season reimbursement, and since then, Huang Zichang has not been involved with the national team and has performed well in Jiangsu.
5. Guo Quanbo
In the 2018 season, the 20-year-old Guo Quanbo won the opportunity to play the main force under Schmidt as the fifth goalkeeper, and performed perfectly, completing 6 clean sheets in 18 starting games, often staging key saves. During that time, Guo Quanbo was the goalkeeper of choice for Beijing Guoan, and for this reason, the head coach of the national team, Lippi, recruited him. Seeing that Guo Quanbo performed so well, Guoan directly issued him a big contract in order to prevent him from being poached by high salaries. However, after Schmidt left the class, Guo Quanbo lost the main position, and guo Quanbo, who only got a starting opportunity in 2019, did not get a stable playing time was quickly forgotten by fans.
6. Dong Fangzhuo
I believe that the vast majority of old fans will not be unfamiliar with him, the only Chinese player who has been photographed by European giants. Dong Fangzhuo was a teammate with C Luo that year, scoring the only goal of the Chinese men's football team in the Olympic Games, and the light was infinite. For well-known reasons, Chinese players have always been bound by the system and the national team, unable to fully break into the European arena, Dong Fangzhuo's later development is also like many foreign players, returning to China to play football, and disappearing into the crowd until retirement.
