The start time of the Chinese Super League is to be determined, but the first-team list of each team has basically been determined, with the closing of the transfer window, the previously very mysterious Guangzhou team also announced the latest big list of participants, which is quite surprising that Zhang Xiuwei and Li Xuepeng, who were previously rumored to stay in the team, failed to be selected for the final list, and the outside world also speculated continuously. In addition, the biggest surprise is Zheng Zhi, the meritorious veteran and executive manager basically left the team in the new season, and the media broke the news that his future focus will be on the coaching position!
As we all know, the 43-year-old Zheng Zhi originally hoped to play in Chinese football for another 2 years, but last year's changes in the Guangzhou team made Zheng Zhi's ideals seem to change, he also served as the executive manager of the team in the 2nd stage, leading the team to the Chinese Super League as the head coach for the first time, his performance was also recognized by the outside world, after which he was called by the big brother Li Xiaopeng, successfully entered the national team coaching staff, and became a capable player under Li Xiaopeng!
Nowadays, Beijing Youth Daily has confirmed that Zheng Zhi will no longer play with the Guangzhou team, and in fact, his retirement has been basically determined, only the official announcement is left, and for the future direction and goal, the media bluntly said that Zheng Zhi is about to participate in the A-level coach training course organized by the Chinese Football Association, which is enough to see Zheng Zhi's efforts in the coaching position. In fact, in last year's Chinese Super League, Zheng Zhi had missed many Chinese Super League games because he participated in the Football Association coach training class!
The media also broke the news that Zheng Zhi will not accept the club team for the time being, and his focus is the national team, as long as Li Xiaopeng does not go to class, Zheng Zhi will always assist Li Xiaopeng as an assistant coach of the national team. Perhaps serving for the country is Zheng Zhi's greatest wish, so if he can lead the team to the Asian Cup held on home next year, Zheng Zhi will be more willing to achieve this great goal. Zheng Zhi is afraid that it will be difficult to appear on the field as a player again, which is the biggest regret!
Zheng Zhi has experienced the glory and darkness of Chinese football, and has also won the respect and applause of the outside world, and now Chinese football is at its lowest point, and if this meritorious veteran can only be forced to retire at this time, it is really regrettable. I have to say that Zheng Zhi deserves a better farewell ceremony, at the same time, the Guangzhou team should also hold a decent farewell match for Zheng Zhi, but in the current epidemic and the Chinese football environment, these can only become luxuries!
