After 5 years of absence, Gu Chao finally returned to Zhejiang (formerly Zhejiang Greentown), and after Zhejiang introduced Gu Chao, he finally had the courage to launch an impact on the qualifications of the Chinese Super League, which is a good choice for both sides.
Since jiangsu announced the "suspension of operation", a number of players have left the team, including team captain Wu Xi joining Shanghai Shenhua, defender Li Ang joining Shanghai Harbor, and now it is finally the turn of goalkeeper Gu Chao.
Gu Chao is a goalkeeper with national strength, but surprisingly, Gu Chao did not seem to have received a lot of attention before, and there was no rumor about which Chinese Super League team he wanted to join. At this time, Zhejiang, as the "mother team", extended a helping hand to Gu Chao, and in this way, Gu Chao, who played in the Jiangsu team for 5 years, returned to Zhejiang.
In fact, Zhejiang is not Gu Chao's "mother team", Shanghai Seaport (formerly Shanghai East Asia) is Gu Chao's real mother team, Gu Chao is a native of Shanghai, when he was 11 years old, he entered Xu Genbao's Chongming Island youth training base.
According to seniority, Gu Chao is Yan Junling's "big brother", has always firmly occupied the position of the main goalkeeper, and also represents Shanghai East Asia's participation in the Chinese Second League and the Chinese First League. However, in the 2011 season, Gu Chao was sold by Xu Genbao to Greentown, Zhejiang Province, in exchange for a transfer fee to maintain the operation of Shanghai East Asia (about 4 million).
After joining Zhejiang Greentown, Gu Chao got the opportunity to compete in the Chinese Super League, from the very beginning of the substitute goalkeeper, all the way to the main goalkeeper, Gu Chao proved his strength, so many fans think that Gu Chao is cultivated by Greentown Youth Training.
Greentown Youth Training does play a pivotal role in Chinese football, and has also cultivated many excellent players, such as Zhang Yuning, Xie Pengfei, Tong Lei, Zou Dehai and so on. But in recent years, Zhejiang has been selling players, although taking advantage of the "golden dollar football" trend to make a fortune, but Zhejiang has also been seriously injured to the Chinese League A.
Gu Chao joined Jiangsu Suning in the 2016 season, and Zhejiang Greentown was also relegated to the Chinese First Division in that year, although they introduced the famous Australian star Cahill that year, but because of the serious loss of players, they were relegated.
Since then, Zhejiang Greentown has always been a "lewd development" in the middle of the league, shouting loud slogans, but always failing at the last moment. Not only that, Zhejiang Greentown continues to act as a "Black Shop in the Chinese Super League", selling almost all the players who can be looked at, and there is nothing to do with reinforcements, and Gu Chao's return this time is their most "heavy" reinforcement in the past 5 years.
Although Gu Chao has returned to the long-lost Zhejiang, Zhejiang has actually replaced the owner, Greentown is no longer the majority shareholder, and the new shareholder Zhejiang Energy Group's goal is definitely a higher-level Chinese Super League. Perhaps in a month, we will be able to see Gu Chao leading Zhejiang to appear in the Chinese Super League.
