Tan Long, 29, joined Changchun Yatai as an uncontracted free agent during the 2017 season and quickly became a central force in the team. Tan Long also made his debut in the 2018 China Cup tournament thanks to his impressive performances in the Chinese Super League. Tan Long then went on to win the Golden Boot in the Chinese League once with Changchun Yatai and also managed to score a double in the Chinese Super League last season. To date, Tan Long has played 161 official matches for Changchun Yatai, scoring 60 goals and making 22 assists, making a significant contribution to the team.
With the new season about to begin, this Asian Games trial can be seen as a preview for both sides. Tan Long, who started the match, was not replaced by national youth player Fan Chao until the end of the match. It is evident that he is in good health and can still be an important role for head coach Tan Yang in the new season. We hope the veteran will stay fit and continue to perform well in the Chinese Super League.
