While Chinese soccer was just about to begin the Golden Dollar Era, Zhang Xiuwei became a target of competition from giants of all walks of life. Eventually, Zhang Xiuwei was recruited by Tianjin Quanjian, then known as China's first division Evergrande, to take command of him. Because of this, we were able to see the Chinese Magic Flute up close and personal. I have to say that Zhang Xiuwei was really agile at that time. He was very good at running in the midfield, often seeking to match up with his teammates and forming threats through penetration. In addition, he also had very good ball handling and passing abilities, with a very wide vision. It can be said that at that time, everyone felt that if Zhang Xiuwei could grow up, we really did not have to worry about the strength of the national soccer team.
However, Zhang Xiuwei may have developed too well and made too much money, so Zhang Xiuwei is a little bit floating. After a DUI car accident, Zhang Xiuwei was banned by the FA. After the ban, Zhang Xiuwei never recovered to his former form. Later transferred to Guangzhou Evergrande, soon turned from the main force into a substitute, once could not play. So Zhang Xiuwei also changed from the proud son of the sky and the Chinese Magic Flute to an obscure and inconspicuous ordinary player.
However, last season, in order to get free, he helped Guangzhou for half a season on a free and his form improved. However, after getting free this season, he didn't join any Chinese Super League team and also missed the transfer period in Europe due to other issues. So the Chinese Magic Flute stayed free for half a season without a ball to play.
Over the past six months, Zhang Xiuwei has reportedly had to find his own venue to train, staying in the gym most of the time to do the necessary training to keep his body in basic shape. In addition, Zhang Xiuwei's family is worried about his future and even suggested that he stop playing soccer and look for other directions. But Zhang Xiuwei knew himself, he just wanted to play soccer. So after Qingdao Hainiu, a promoted team in the Chinese Super League, sent him an offer, he quickly agreed. Currently, Zhang Xiuwei has basically decided to join Qingdao Hainiu and only needs to make an official announcement.
