Zhao Hongliu is a 33-year-old veteran who has been playing in the Chinese Super League for many years. Not only is he experienced, he was also selected for the national soccer team coached by Li Xiaopeng. Therefore, he can effectively strengthen and support the Cangzhou Lions' sides. He has represented China's national Olympic team in the Guangzhou Asian Games men's soccer tournament, and started out in Dalian Shide's youth training system.
Zhao Hongliu's career started well, as at the age of 19, he was playing for Dalian Shide in the Chinese Super League, attracting the attention of many giants, but the team called him a "non-saleable" player. The team was later disbanded and Zhao spent two seasons at Dalian Albin before leaving in January 2015 to join Tianjin Teda, now the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers.
During his time with Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, Zhao Hongliu was given the opportunity to make 95 appearances for the team, contributing 2 goals and 10 assists.In the 2021 season, Zhao Hongliu left the team to join Wuhan Changjiang as Tianjin Jinmen Tigers were on the verge of disbanding. He was one of the best wingers in the Chinese Super League when he made 20 appearances for the team, scoring 6 goals and dishing out assists.
Zhao Hongliu can play in four positions: left back, right back and left and right forward. He is fast and has some footwork skills, with excellent breaking and passing abilities. Most importantly, he is able to play at any time and will definitely bring assistance to the current Cangzhou Lions team. Hopefully, he can continue his excellent performance in the new season and help Cangzhou Lions successfully complete the relegation task.
