Live bar November 27 news In the 28th round of the Chinese Super League, Dalian Yifang's match against Hebei Huaxia, Zhou Ting set a record for the oldest appearance in the Chinese Super League with the age of 40 years and 291 days. Today, the Oriental Sports Daily wrote an article reviewing Zhou Ting's career.
Zhou Ting came from the Wanda youth training in the last century, but because the big brothers in the team are almost all international players, there is almost no position for Zhou Ting, a young player after 75. There was no way, Zhou Ting could only be loaned to Shenzhen Jinpeng in 1997, and then in the next 19 years, from Yunnan Hongta to Qingdao, and then from Shenzhen to Beijing...
In the past 19 years, Dalian football has lost its former glory, but Dalian players like Zhou Ting hope to "return to the roots".
On November 5, 2016, Zhou Ting, who turned 38, left the team from Guoan and joined Dalian Yifang Club, which was in the Chinese League At the time, and returned to his hometown team for many years. However, the head coach Carlo at that time did not know much about Zhou Ting, and asked him to go to Kunming for trial training, it is said that a veteran like Zhou Ting no longer needs to prove himself through trial training, not to mention that there are Chinese Super League teams to invite him to join. But Zhou Ting said, "The biggest wish is to join the hometown team, one is family reasons, and the other is that I really want to help the team rush to surpass." Dalian's teams must play in the top flight. Zhou Ting said, "Only coming back at this age, judging from the results, it is still relatively good, which is what I and everyone expected." ”
Subsequently, Zhou Ting helped Dalian Yifang to rush over as desired, and sat firmly in the position of the main force. Although the team manager has changed several times, Zhou Ting has won their trust. The current coach Benitez commented on him: "Zhou Ting is very physically energetic, maybe there is a certain gap from ten years ago, but he has a good ability to read the game, and he can apply this to the game, which is a good example for young players." ”
As the oldest player in the Chinese Super League, the oldest player to play, the oldest goal player and a series of records, Zhou Ting's mentality is very peaceful: "Now for me, playing a day to earn a day, including training sessions, training one less lesson. Today I also represent Dalian Yifang, and I may not know if I am here tomorrow. ”
It is undeniable that when he was young, Zhou Ting was once named "evil man" because of more fouls, but now Zhou Ting has taken off the hat of "evil man" and maintained strict self-discipline, "Kicking to this age, his work and rest time, including what to do every day, how to do training, has developed a habit." Maybe play a game, the young players ease up in one day, I have 3 days. No way, athletes reach this age and know themselves best. ”
