The 2023 Chinese Super League is about to kick off, but some teams simply can't stop! In addition to a few rich and powerful teams, Qingdao Hainiu and Nantong Zhiyun didn't budge in the transfer market, each signing more than 10 new recruits. Last season Nantong Zhiyun overtook them as the third in first place. In order to strengthen the lineup, Brazilian foreigner Morellato, Guinean foreigner Romanio, Honduran foreigner Rubinho, Wang Song, Xu Junmin, Ye Lijiang and other internal reinforcements have been introduced.
On the afternoon of April 10, Nantong Zhiyun Club officially announced that former Guangzhou City player Gui Hong officially joined the team, further strengthening the team's lineup for the first season of the Chinese Super League. Born in January 1995 in Wuhan, Hubei Province, Gui Hong is 1.85 meters tall and is a starter for the 95 National Youth Football Team. He comes from the Spanish youth training system and signed with the Valencia Hurricanes youth team in early 2013.
In July 2014, Guihong joined La Liga powerhouse Sevilla, representing the U19 ladder and C-team in various matches, during which he also won the Copa del Rey Junior Championship of Spain.He returned to his home country in 2016 to join Hebei Huaxia Happiness, but did not have many chances to play in the Chinese Super League. He made only 32 appearances in three seasons, contributing three goals and two assists.After moving to Guangzhou City in 2019, he did not have a stable mainstay and was continuously rented to play for other teams.
In the 2020-2021 seasons, Guihong played on loan for both Guizhou Hengfeng and Meizhou Hakka, making 25 appearances, scoring 4 goals and dishing out 2 assists. Returning to Guangzhou City last season, Guihong finally broke out, making 26 appearances in China, scoring three goals and dishing out four assists.
Guihong has a distinctive skill set. He is a strong and powerful high center forward with the ability to take chances in front of goal. In the new season, I hope he will have a career highlight in Nantong Zhiyun and shine in the Chinese Super League, realizing his talent like his national youth teammates Wei Shihao and Gao Junyi.
