Zhejiang's results this season have clearly exceeded fans' expectations. After the first 29 rounds of matches, they have achieved 15 wins, 7 draws and 7 losses, accumulating 52 points, and are currently sitting in the 4th place of the Chinese Super League table. In the final round of matches, as long as they can maintain their stable form this season without any mistakes, they will not only be able to secure a place in the top four of the Chinese Super League, but also have a chance to get a ticket for the next season's AFC Champions League.
Just as it is about to end the season, Zhejiang team has made a wise decision. According to reports, Zhejiang officials recently announced that the club has renewed the contract of Frank, the team's core foreign aid, and the new contract will continue until the 2025 season. In other words, the 32-year-old Croatian midfielder will play for Zhejiang for at least two more seasons.
Despite the fact that Frank is 32 years old, he still maintains good physical condition without any signs of decline. It is widely recognized that Zhejiang's decision to extend Frank's contract is very wise. In this way, the club's next two seasons in advance to determine the main core, so that the team in the conduct of multi-front war without worries.
Like many Croatian players, Frank possesses two main characteristics. Firstly, he possesses excellent physical qualities and superb footwork, and can perform important tasks without ever disappointing. Secondly, he is courageous, not afraid to use up his physical strength, full of blood and professionalism, which makes him an excellent foreigner that all teams in the Chinese Super League can only dream of. Since joining Zhejiang in the summer of 2021, Frank has gradually won the trust of the club both inside and outside the club with his hard work and talent, and eventually became an indispensable core warrior in the team's front attack line.
Frank is an attacking midfielder who not only excels in terms of excellent footwork, awareness and outstanding confrontation ability, but also is fast, explosive, excellent in passing and shooting, creative and attacking attributes. Data shows that in the past two seasons, Frank played a total of 82 games for the Zhejiang team, in which he not only did an excellent job of organizing and scheduling in the midfield, but also scored 28 goals and assisted 12 times for the team. It's not an exaggeration to say that he's like the Oscar of Zhejiang.
As the saying goes: a thousand soldiers are easy to find, but one general is hard to find. But at present, because of the economic difficulties of the Chinese Super League team, reinforcement budget is limited, it is already difficult to find like Frank such as strength and full of professionalism of the excellent foreign aid. Zhejiang team can decisively and Frank to complete the contract extension, to prevent the outflow of talent, can be said to be a two-in-one move, not only to retain an important player, but also did not spend any transfer fee. It's a wise move.
