In the ever-changing soccer world, Henan Club announced on the 20th that it will bring back the historical general manager Li Wei Feng to serve as the deputy general manager, fully responsible for the construction of the first team and the cultivation of young talents. At the same time, Chen Ming will step down as vice president and captain of the first team to open a new chapter.
Li Wei Feng, a name that used to ring a bell in the soccer world. As a player, he shone in 112 matches in the English Premier League and the K-League, and even helped the Chinese national team to the World Cup in South Korea and Japan as a core player. His talent and achievements have made him one of the most outstanding players in the history of Chinese soccer. After retiring from the game, he moved into management roles, serving as manager of Tianjin Tianhai and Guangzhou City, as well as interim first-team head coach. Despite the ups and downs of both stints, with Tianhai being disbanded for some reason and Guangzhou City bidding farewell to the football world, his professionalism and industry recognition has remained consistent.
After a period of silence, Li Wei Feng has once again stepped onto the Chinese Super League stage. Henan FC is looking forward to his return, believing that his experience and ability is the key for the team to overcome adversity. Last year, the Henan club ended the season in 10th place under operational pressure. The hiring of Li Wei Feng this time around is based on his leadership in the face of adversity.
On the World Cup stage in South Korea and Japan, Li Wei Feng played alongside many of his teammates, many of whom are still active in soccer today. Yu Genwei and Zhao Junzhe play important roles in the Chinese Super League, while Shao Jiayi continues to contribute to soccer as an assistant coach for the national team. Li Wei Feng, the former captain of the national soccer team, is undoubtedly the best of them all.
