The Cangzhou Lions club announced in high profile recently that it had successfully brought in former Jiangsu player Xie Pengfei, a move that signaled that the Jiangsu team had basically completed a blood change in its starting lineup. Jiangsu created an embarrassing record in the history of the Chinese Super League by announcing its suspension after winning the title last season, but even so, the players of the championship team are still widely recognized. Most of the players were able to make a fresh start during this cold transfer window.
Among the most talked about players of international caliber, current international player Wu Xi moved to Shenhua, Li Ang joined the seaport, and Ji Xiang chose to join Taishan. Zhou Yun, on the other hand, chose to retire, making him one of the rare players in Chinese soccer history to play for only one team. In appreciation of his contribution, Jiangsu fans bought full-page advertisements in local media to show their respect.
Dalian-born player Yang Boyu quickly joined the Wuhan team after his contract expired last season. This was followed by Huang Zichang, Tian Yinong and Ye Chongqiu joining the Wuhan team. Abdul Hemiti, Luo Jing and Xie Pengfei joined the Cangzhou Lions together, who have made no shortage of reinforcements this year despite being the lowest ranked team in the Chinese Super League. In addition, Gao Tianyi has joined Guoan, and 11 Jiangsu players have already moved to other Chinese Super League teams.
Gu Chao joined Zhejiang and was expected to return to the Chinese Super League, but the unexpected rise of the Jinmen Tigers kept Zhejiang in the Central League. In addition, four other Jiangsu players moved to the Central League. In terms of foreign players, Miranda and Eder joined Sao Paulo, while Santini returned to Croatia and joined Osijek.
