Fan Zhiyi is a famous figure in Chinese football and the best central defender in the history of national football. He played for Shanghai Shenhua in the A League A and Crystal Palace in league one, was captain of crystal palace and won the team's Player of the Year. His physical fitness and personal ability are at the top in China, the style of play is very tough, he helped the national football team reach the final round of the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, represented the national football team in a total of 109 international A-category competitions, and served as the captain of the national football team many times. He has also won the Chinese Footballer of the Year twice, and the Asian Footballer of the Year once.
In 2013, after the national football team lost 1-5 to Thailand, Fan Zhiyi said that "the face of Chinese football is gone". As a national football celebrity, he once helped the national football team enter the World Cup final circle for the only time, of course, he is qualified to say such a thing, but he is still questioned by many young fans, and even some people say "Has Fan Zhiyi scored a goal"? In fact, Fan Zhiyi is the most offensive center-back in the history of Chinese football, scoring 15 goals in just 22 appearances in a single season in 1995 and winning the Golden Boot in the A League. It can be said that Fan Zhiyi's personal ability far exceeds that of the current international footballer.
However, Fan Zhiyi's love life is controversial because he has had three marriages. As early as 1995, Fan Zhiyi married the flight attendant Li Qian, when the young couple was blessed by the majority and was once considered a model couple in football. Later, they had a daughter, and when Fan Zhiyi went to play football in The United Kingdom, Li Qian also took her daughter with her. But in 2005, the 10-year marriage was declared over. Fan Zhiyi and his ex-wife Li Qian agreed to divorce and paid Li Qian a break-up fee of 3 million yuan, but then li Qian sued him in court, because Fan Zhiyi only gave 1 million, which really made people cry and laugh.
Regarding the reason for the divorce, the outside world speculates that Fan Zhiyi is probably cheating. Because not long after the divorce, Fan Zhiyi met another flight attendant, Li Zhiyi. She was originally a model, her figure is very sexy, she has starred in many film and television works, and even acted in tertiary films, perhaps she is Fan Zhiyi, who attracted her with her sexy body. The two soon married, but this time Fan Zhiyi handled it very low-key. However, for unknown reasons, Fan Zhiyi's second marriage also ended in divorce.
In 2011, Fan Zhiyi met ballet dancer Zhang Menglei, who was 17 years younger than Fan Zhiyi. As a dancer, of course, she is in very good shape, and she has a baby face, looking even younger than Fan Zhiyi's daughter. In 2016, 47-year-old Fan Zhiyi officially married Zhang Menglei and ushered in his third marriage. In the same year, Zhang Menglei gave birth to a daughter. However, it is said that Fan Zhiyi's eldest daughter is a British national, the younger daughter has entered the United States nationality, and the stars and children of the sports and entertainment circles have become foreign nationals.
