After the adjustment of the winter window interval, Shanghai Shenhua has been strengthened in various positions, and the problem that follows is how to do a good job of "subtraction" on the personnel issue. According to the reporter, Chen Zhao, Bolanios, Jiang Shenglong and Sun Kai will go to Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic in the Shenhua team, and they will represent Chongqing in all competitions next season.
During the second phase of shanghai Shenhua's winter training this year, the phenomenon of overburden was particularly obvious in the goalkeeper position. On one side of the pitch, the goalkeeper coach trained with five goalkeepers, namely Zeng Cheng, Li Shuai, Ma Zhen, Chen Zhao and Wen Zhixiang, who had just been transferred from the reserve team. Usually, the goalkeeper group does not train in the same field as the large troops, but the atmosphere is quite lively, and when it comes to the team group confrontation, the number of goalkeepers can also meet the needs of multiple teams.
However, for a professional team, the number of five goalkeepers is a bit large, so it is a more reasonable choice to subtract in the goalkeeper position first. Yesterday morning, Shenhua goalkeeper Chen Zhao sent a text to bid farewell to the team, "Thanksgiving, there is a chance to continue." Chen Zhao posted a photo of himself wearing a Shenhua battle robe to express his gratitude for Shenhua's cultivation over the years.
In 2017, the 21-year-old Chen Zhao joined Shanghai Shenhua, and before coming to Shenhua, Chen Zhao also had a confrontation with Shenhua, "As early as 2015, a goalkeeper coach told us that there was a particularly good Chinese child in Sevilla. General Manager Zhou Jun recalled. After that, Shenhua played a friendly match with Atletico B, and Shenhua also had a good impression of Chen Zhao, and then completed the signing.
After coming to Shenhua, Chen Zhao played in the Shenhua reserve team for a long time, which gave him great help in exercising himself and adapting to the rhythm of the game. In the 2019 season, Chen Zhao finally waited for his own opportunity, and then head coach Flores arranged Chen Zhao as the starting goalkeeper in the match against Shenzhen, which was Chen Zhao's league debut. From the data point of view, at that time, Shenhua's backline was a big problem, often conceding goals at key moments, resulting in serious points conceded by the team, and even the danger of relegation. And on the whole, the players are not familiar with each other, the head coach's tactical command is debatable, and the problem of conceding the ball cannot be completely blamed on Chen Zhao, who was only 23 years old at the time. In the 2019 season, Chen Zhao represented Shenhua in 16 league games and represented Shenhua in three FA Cup matches, laying the foundation for Shenhua to lift the FA Cup trophy later.
To say that the most unforgettable memories in Shenhua are undoubtedly the night of the 2019 FA Cup for Chen Zhao. On that day, Chen Zhao was on the bench, but his mood was as nervous as his teammates on the court, until the three final whistles sounded, he held up his mobile phone to take a selfie, while rushing to the big brother Li Shuai, excitedly celebrating each other, "This is the most important node in my career, this championship makes me have a sense of participation and belonging." Compared with the experience of "playing soy sauce" in 2017, the championship trophy in 2019 is more meaningful to Chen Zhao.
Last season, Shenhua successively introduced the national gate Zeng Cheng and U23 young player Ma Zhen in the position of goalkeeper, plus "big brother" Li Shuai, so that Chen Zhao was not able to enter the league roster, and then Chen Zhao was loaned to the Chinese Second Division team Qingdao Manatees to train, a total of 9 appearances, clean sheets and 5 games to concede 7 goals, and finally helped the Manatee team to achieve the sixth place in the Second Division.
It is understood that this time Chen Zhao will basically join Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic in the form of a transfer. Previously, the Chongqing team mainly relied on experienced veterans in the goalkeeper position— — Sui Weijie, 37 (who has left the team), and Deng Xiaofei, 37, and the third goalkeeper will be 28-year-old Yeljeti. That is to say, after joining the Chongqing team, Chen Zhao is still the youngest goalkeeper, "hoping to continue to work hard and then win the main position." ”
