Following adjustments made by the CFA, the registration period for domestic transfers in the Chinese Super League will end on April 12th and in the Chinese League A on April 19th.
Yesterday, a number of Chinese Super League teams have officially announced new players to join, including Shandong Taishan a series of official announcement of 7 people to join, caused a lot of fans attention.
According to reports, Tong Lei, Sun Guowen, Li Yuanyi, Fernando, Huang Zhengyu, Hu Jinghang and Liu Shibo have completed their registration and officially joined Shandong Taishan Football Club.
It's not really big news anymore. It boils down to the fact that these players were already on the roster for last weekend's China Super Cup matches between Shandong Taishan and Wuhan Sanzhen.
Among these seven players, Liu Shibo, Fernando and Li Yuanyi have all played for Guangzhou. Not only that, goalkeeper Liu Shibo was also the starting goalkeeper of Guangzhou last season.
Liu Shibo, 25, has played for Guangzhou since the youth team and was promoted to the first team in 2018.
Liu Shibo also became Guangzhou's No. 1 goalkeeper last season after Liu Dengzuo left the team, and he was dedicated, offering many great saves in the game.
However, with Guangzhou's relegation, Liu Shibo was also poached by a Chinese Super League team. On his parting, he also posted a message on Weibo thanking his Guangzhou teammates, coaches and staff.
Between the lines, it also reveals the place where Expo Liu has lived for nearly 10 years.
With the departure of Liu Shibo, Guangzhou's goalkeeper setup for the new season is only expected to be left with three players, namely Zhang Jianzhi, Huo Shenping and a U21 goalkeeper.
As can be expected, the average age of the players in the front, midfield and back line of Guangzhou's lineup for the new season is about 22 years old, and the pressure on this young army speaks for itself.
