The winter window of the Chinese Super League on April 29th came to an end, and the transfer dynamics of Guangzhou's important players became progressively clearer.
Zhang Linpeng, Gao Junyi, Liao Lisheng, He Chao, Liu Dengzuo, Deng Hanwen, Zhong Yihao and other core players returned, and previously returned to the team of Aixon, Golat, Alan, Fernando, Luo Guofu, Meifang, etc. Together, the Guangzhou team's "Player Supermarket" in the winter window during a total of 29 people returned to the team. It is gratifying that core players such as Wei Shihao chose to stay in the team, and naturalized player Jiang Guangtai is also expected to stay in the Guangzhou team.
Affected by the club's operational difficulties, Guangzhou decided to play the new season of the Chinese Super League with a full Chinese class of young players, which also indicates that the team will face a large number of personnel loss in the transfer market.
Zhang Linpeng, a veteran player who has won eight Chinese Super League titles and two Asian Championships, is returning to Shanghai Harbour and the start of his career after 11 years with Guangzhou.
Although Zhang Linpeng came from the Genbao training base on Shanghai's Chongming Island and started his career with Shanghai Dongya, he achieved great success with Guangzhou, becoming one of the top defenders in Asia, dedicating his best youth to the city of Guangzhou, and forming a deep emotional bond with the team.
In the final round of last season's Chinese Super League, Zhang Linpeng conceded a penalty at a crucial moment, causing his team to lose the league's second place, and after the match, "Zhang Moss" felt remorseful. In the penultimate round of last season's 2-0 win over Changchun Yatai, Zhang Linpeng showed his tender side after the match, thanking the Guangzhou fans with tears in his eyes for supporting him in the storm, and now the "desperate man" will be reluctant to say goodbye.
In addition to Zhang Linpeng, Gao Zhunyi, He Chao, Liu Dangzuo and Deng Hanwen have all joined Chinese Super League promoted team Wuhan Sanzhen, Liao Lixiang has moved to defending champion Shandong Taishan, and Zhong Yihao has been transferred to Henan Songshan Longmen. These players are in their prime, with Zhang Linpeng, Gao Junyi and Liu Dengzuo all selected for the National Football League's World Qualifying 12.
It is reported that these players all parted ways with the club peacefully and returned to the team in free agency after giving up their unpaid wages and remaining contracts. Naturalized player Jiang Guangtai previously applied to the Arbitration Commission of the Football Association to restore free agency on the grounds of unpaid wages, which is still inconclusive, and the two sides are still in the process of negotiation.
As the winter window for the 2022 Chinese Super League season has closed, Jiang Guangda, who failed to complete the transfer, is too likely to stay with the team, and the Guangzhou team is also very hopeful that he can play with the team in the Chinese Super League. In terms of internal invitations, Guangzhou only signed 21-year-old defender Liang Peiwen of Hubei Young Stars before the winter transfer window closed.
Wei Shihao remains with the Guangzhou team.
So far, Guangzhou's transfer wave has settled. Although a large number of core players lost, but saddening, but also slightly pleased that Wei Shihao, Yang Liyu, Zhang Xiuwei, Yan Dinghao, Li Xuepeng and Wu Shaochong players confirmed to stay in the team, coupled with the emergence of the last season's Ling Jie, Tan Kaiyuan and Hou Yu, and other new stars, if you can fight for Jiang Guangtai to continue to fight, the Guangzhou team's main lineup is gradually clear, the overall view of the new season is still have a foothold in the strength of the Chinese Super League.
