On May Day, Sichuan Jiuniu Football Club announced that Zhao Xu Ri, Yang Lei and Lu Ning have joined the team.
Zhao Xuri, 36, from the famous soccer city of Dalian, Liaoning Province, is not only a midfield master, but also a sea pin on the field. He started his career with Dalian Sedrun and has been honored by many top clubs such as Sichuan Guancheng, Dalian Shide, Shaanxi Chanba, Guangzhou Evergrande and Tianjin Quanjian. During his time at Guangzhou Evergrande, Zhao Xuri has been honored with four Chinese Super League victories, two Asian championships, and the China Super Cup.
Zhao Xuri, the soccer player, has worn the national team's uniform many times, no matter which age group, there is his figure. World Youth Championship, Beijing Olympics, Asian Cup and other international competitions, have left his fighting figure.
Facing a new challenge, Zhao Xuri said, "I am full of excitement to join Sichuan Jiuniu. I will do my best to help the club achieve another success in the new season."
Another new addition, 29-year-old winger Yang Lei, hails from the picturesque Lijiang, Yunnan Province. In the 2016 to 2021 seasons, Yang Lei played for Heilongjiang Bingcheng, showing his side-killer nature with 10 goals and 4 assists in 117 games.
