In the late afternoon of June 6, the Chinese men's soccer team's lineup received a major reshuffle. According to a report by Southern Metropolis Daily on June 7, a brand new 24-player lineup has been officially released, in which the proportion of Guangzhou-based players is remarkable, as high as ten people.
In this list, Chinese Super League (CSL) supremo Shanghai Harbor takes the lead with a seven-man squad, especially notable for the addition of the first international player in their squad, which undoubtedly injects fresh blood into the team. Wuhan Sanzhen and Shandong Taishan, on the other hand, have contributed five and four players respectively who have been in charge of the Chinese Super League in the past two seasons.
Guangzhou veterans Zhang Linpeng, Jiang Guangtai, Xu Xin, Liu Dengzuo, Wei Shihao, Deng Hanwen, Gao Junyi, Ekerson, Wang Shangyuan and Zhang Jiaqi are among the names listed in this lineup. It is worth mentioning that Lin Liangming, who now plays for Dalian Ren, is a rising star from Guangzhou R&F's youth camp.
