After the Chinese men's football team entered the World Cup in South Korea and Japan in 2002, so far, the Chinese men's football team has been "dormant" for 18 years, and fans have been disappointed in the Chinese men's football team again and again. After losing 1-2 to Syria in the World Preliminary Tournament last year, the world-famous coach "Silver Fox" Lippi was overshadowed, and it seems that the "foreign coach journey" of Chinese football in recent years has returned to the original point. After decades of change, the Chinese men's football team finally returned to the essence of "tu shuai", and Li Tie was appointed to become the new head coach of the Chinese men's football team. However, after Li Tie took office, fans also caused a heated discussion about "Li Tie becoming the coach of Chinese men's football", but Du Zhenyu, a former player of the Chinese men's national football team and a legendary star of Changchun Yatai Club, said at the first time: "Congratulations to Li Tie as the head coach of the national team, local coaches must support, no one knows More about Chinese football than Chinese!" ”
Speaking of Du Zhenyu's name, Yatai and TEDA fans and friends should be familiar with it. Du Zhenyu, who was born in 1983 in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, did not show extraordinary talent when he first started with football, and in the youth training camp in Liaoning, Du Zhenyu appeared to be talented. However, he belongs to the kind of player who works very hard, and when Liaozu selected players, Du Zhenyu was not selected by Liaozu, but he was not discouraged, but trained harder. Kung Fu pays off, and by chance, Du Zhenyu was selected by Changchun Yatai Club and began his brilliant career.
In 2005, the 22-year-old Du Zhenyu helped Changchun Yatai Club to enter the League of the Chinese Super League in one fell swoop, and achieved a good result of fourth place in the first year of entering the Chinese Super League, he is also the absolute core figure in the Changchun Yatai team, and Wang Dong is called "Yatai Twin Star". In 2007, Changchun Yatai won the Chinese Super League under the leadership of Wang Dong and Du Zhenyu, and Du Zhenyu was also selected as the 2007 Chinese Footballer of the Year. In 2012, the 29-year-old Du Zhenyu joined Tianjin TEDA and rejuvenated his "second spring" in Tianjin TEDA. In 2018, the 35-year-old Du Zhenyu made the choice of retirement, the starting point of his career is Changchun Yatai, and the end point is also Changchun Yatai, it can be said that Du Zhenyu's career has been very complete.
At a friend gathering in 2008, Du Zhenyu met Zhong Shuyi, a reporter for Jilin Television, and the two fell in love. ZhongShuyi is also a talented woman who combines appearance and talent, a high-achieving student who graduated from Jilin University, and the two entered the palace of marriage in 2009. After marriage, Zhongshuyi and Du Zhenyu were very affectionate, and in an interview, Zhongshuyi once said that he did not feel that he was such a hot-tempered person on the field, because Du Zhenyu was simply too docile in front of Zhongshuyi.
In order to be able to "catch up" with Zhongshuyi, Du Zhenyu also developed the habit of reading books, and went to the university to continue to study himself, which is probably the power of love! After retiring, Du Zhenyu became the deputy director of youth training at Yatai Club and the head coach of the u19 echelon, and last year, Du Zhenyu also announced his departure from Changchun Yatai through his social media.
However, he did not leave the football circle and became a Zhenyu Football Club in Jilin, mainly responsible for youth football training. In an interview, Du Zhenyu said: "We are too many years behind, it is impossible to make up for this gap by our own efforts, but everything is starting from scratch, little by little." "We also hope that Du Zhenyu can continue to shine in the youth training industry and strive to cultivate more outstanding players for our Chinese football."
