Tan Long joined Changchun Yatai as an uncontracted player in the stormy 2017 season at the age of 29, and immediately emerged as a stalwart of the team. Tan Long shone particularly brightly in the Chinese Super League, and made a stunning debut in the 2018 China Cup. He went on to win the Central League Golden Boot award in his journey with Changchun Yatai, and doubled his goal tally in the Premier League last season. To date, Tan Long has played 161 official matches for Changchun Yatai, scoring 60 goals and assisting 22 times, contributing significantly to the team.
With the new season approaching, this Asian Games preview is undoubtedly a test of both sides' strengths. Tan Long started the game until the end of the match when he was replaced by Fan Chao, a scene that proves his good physical condition and he is expected to continue to serve as an important piece for Coach Chen Yang in the new season. We sincerely hope that the veteran will stay healthy and continue to shine in the Chinese Super League.
