At the age of twelve, Zhao Xuri was listed as a special enrollment in Dalian Seventy-Six Middle School because of his good qualities, and soon after, dalian railway Yiteng Club saw his potential and brought him to the club, where he was guided by the famous youth coach Cheng Xianfei.
Under the strict training under the guidance of Cheng Xianfei and the unremitting efforts of Zhao Xuri himself, the progress made by Zhao Xuri was quite obvious.

After a year of training in the A and B League, in order to be able to exercise on a higher professional league platform, Dalian Shide team was full of midfield talents at that time, and it was obvious that Zhao Xuri could not join the main team, so Zhao Xuri once again followed the Sichuan Guancheng team coached by Xu Hong. Through his outstanding performance in the 2003 A-League, Zhao Xuri sat firmly in the midfield of Sichuan Guancheng and was also selected for Ali Han's national team, with the team playing in the East Asian Final Four. Xu Hong's director has a very high evaluation of Zhao Xuri: Among the many young players of similar age, Zhao Xuri is the most diligent. Whether it's in competition or training, he always puts in 100% of his efforts.
