Among the players, senior center Zhang School (once known as Yang Zi) is suspected to appear in the players' team. The 1.95-meter tall senior center is likely to have bid farewell to Guangzhou Shadow Leopards and joined Guangxi Hengchen.
Born on August 6, 1988 in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, Zhang school, has a rich green resume, he has played in Hangzhou Greentown (now Zhejiang), Shenyang Zhongze, Harbin Yiteng, Shenzhen Lehman, Sichuan FC, Chengdu Xingcheng (now Chengdu Rongcheng), Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic, Zibo Cuju, Guangzhou shadow leopard and other teams.
Zhang made his Chinese Super League debut with Hangzhou Greentown back in 2010 at the age of 22. In 2023, he joined Chinese Champions League side Guangzhou Shadow Leopards. Therefore, in the past 14 years, Zhang has completed his "punch card" in the four levels of Chinese soccer (Chinese Super League, Chinese League A, Chinese League B, Chinese Champions League).
In 2023, School Zhang wore the No. 27 jersey and scored three key goals with Guangzhou Shadow Panthers in the National Champions League Finals. Coincidentally, he scored in the first game for Guangzhou Shadow Leopards, helping the team get off to a 3-1 start in the Champions League Finals. The opponent of that game was Guangxi Hengchen.
Although School Zhang is 35 years old, he is in very good physical condition, with good header skills, effective pivot in front of the field, and has a strong impact in the lower leagues. Guangzhou Shadow Leopards have already been promoted to China B, and Zhang is expected to continue to fight with the China B team. However, considering that there is a similar high center forward in the squad - former international player Xiao Zhi - it makes sense for Zhang to leave the team.
In the 2023 Chinese Championship League, Guangxi Hengchen finished fourth and successfully promoted to the Chinese B League, becoming the third professional team after Guangxi Pingguo Ha Rang and Guangxi Lanhang. In the new season, they will open a new green chapter on the stage of China B League.
On February 19th, Guangxi Hengchen Football Club released "Announcement on the departure of first team players and coaches". It can be seen that Guangxi Hengchen will have a big adjustment in the new season, including assistant coach Erkan Ainivar, and 12 players such as Sheng Peng, Liu Hao, Zhang Tianxiang, Li Weixin, Muhameti Gupul, Yang Bing, Lai Yanglong, Wang Jiancong, Jiang Minwen, Yang Hoyu, Chen Long, Li Yige. In this case, senior center School Zhang is also likely to join the team.
