Starting from the early childhood soccer hobby class, and then to Shenzhen Yantian sports school training, they met in the Green City, and now in Cangzhou Lions reunion. Xie Pengfei and Luo Jing's band, will be in Cangzhou "again".
Recalling the soccer time in Guiyang more than 20 years ago, Xie Pengfei, Luo Jing and Zang Yifeng were full of emotions. At that time, they were just kindergarten children, participating in soccer hobby classes together, and did not have much concept of soccer, but just thought it was fun to play.
Xie Pengfei, a player who rose to fame earlier, became one of the players who stayed in China when he traveled to France to play in Metz in 2010. In the same year, he was selected for the national junior team for the first time and became a regular in our national team.
Xie Pengfei's soccer career began with "strengthening the body". As a child, he was not very interested in soccer, but his father sent him to the field, and his family hoped that he could exercise his body by playing soccer.
Xie Pengfei recalls his time at Guiyang Experimental No. 2 Primary School, of which he is proud as a native of Guizhou. His Guizhou predecessor, Wang Song, was also a graduate of this school.
In those days, Guizhou soccer talents emerged, even in the kindergarten soccer hobby class, also bred Xie Pengfei, Luo Jing and Zang Yifeng three Cangzhou Lions professional players. Xie Pengfei said, in addition to them, there are other players also played in the Chinese Super League and Chinese A. At that time, the soccer atmosphere was very good, and the rate of success was high.
Luo Jing said that the three of them have known each other for more than 20 years and it's fate that they are still playing soccer together.
Chen Zhongliu, who is in his first year of elementary school, joined Guiyang Experimental No. 2 Primary School, joining the trio of Xie Pengfei, Luo Jing and Zang Yifeng.
Xie Pengfei has been playing soccer since he was a child. When he was in the 3rd grade, a coach in Shenzhen selected him and brought him and 11 other young players to Shenzhen. Later these young players joined the soccer team of a sports school in Yantian District, and under the guidance of famous coaches Xie Yuxin and Zhang Zengqun, they achieved good results.

This team was formed to prepare for the 2009 National Games in Shandong, and eventually finished 5th in the Men's Soccer Group B of the Games, creating the best result for Zhejiang soccer at the Games. In this team, there are not only four Guizhou youngsters, but also Shi Ke, Zou Dehai and Zhao Yuhao, who will later shine in the Chinese Super League.
In 2011, this team competed in that year's League Two, finishing ninth in the South Division, but the players gained experience against opponents older than themselves.
Xie Pengfei got his first chance to play in the Chinese Super League in 2012, but was substituted after only 34 minutes of play. He said he felt a bit uncomfortable at the time, playing in the top league at the age of 19, and would later think a lot about how to play in the league.

Because of good relations, salon and the national Olympic team also let them become roommates, like this Cangzhou Lions training in Foshan, let Xie Pengfei and Luo Jing live in a room.

However, "when divided, they must unite, and when united, they must be divided", and this time, these four people came together again by chance.
Chen Zhongliu said, he and Zang Yifeng is hair small, in the middle of last year in Shanghai together to recover treatment, learned that Cangzhou Lions management is very good, the team is stable, is a very enterprising team, so he chose to come here.
Chen Zhongliu is full of expectations for his re-start: "After experiencing a low period, I really feel quite lucky to meet the current coach and management team. There are some teammates from the National Olympic Team here, and we can all help each other. I expect to prove myself again at the best age of a player."
Xie Pengfei and Luo Jing also shared their life lessons.
Xie Pengfei said that after the closing of the Jiangsu team, Cangzhou Lions also contacted his agent, he was moved by the sincerity of the other side, and finally decided to join this team.
Luo Jing helped Jiangsu Suning reach the final of last year's Chinese Super League semifinals with a stunning long-distance shot in overtime. For this highlight, Luo Jing said in a low key: "There's nothing to mention, it's all in the past. I was definitely happy and excited at the time, but as a player, aren't we just trying to help the team win?"
About once played for the Zhejiang team, several players also still have deep feelings, they shouted: "Zhejiang team rushed to the Chinese Super League, next year we wait for you in the Chinese Super League."
