In this season's schedule, Zhejiang's record is like a bright star, shining beyond the expectations of fans. After the first 29 rounds of fighting, they have accumulated 52 points with 15 wins, 7 draws and 7 losses, ranking fourth in the Chinese Super League standings. If they can continue their stable form in the final round of matches without any accidents, Zhejiang will not only be able to lock up the top four seats in the Chinese Super League, but also be expected to qualify for the AFC Champions League.
At the end of the season, Zhejiang team made a farsighted decision. According to the latest news, the club officially announced that it has extended the contract with core foreign aid Frank until the 2025 season. The 32-year-old Croatian midfielder will continue to play for Zhejiang for two more seasons.
Despite his age, Frank's athleticism is still excellent, no decline. The industry generally believe that the Zhejiang team's move to extend the age of Frank, really a wise choice. In this way, the club locked in advance of the next two seasons of the core strength, so that the team in the multi-line war without worry.
Frank, the Croatian player, like so many Croatian players, possesses two main qualities. First of all, he has outstanding physical quality and exquisite footwork skills, able to perform key tasks, and never let people down. Secondly, he is courageous, unrelenting and full of passion and professionalism, making him a top foreigner that teams in the Chinese Super League can only dream of. Since joining Zhejiang in the summer of 2021, Frank has gradually won internal and external recognition for his hard work and talent, and has become a key player in the team's attacking line.
As an attacking midfielder, Frank not only excels in footwork, awareness and confrontation, but also has excellent speed, explosiveness, passing and shooting, and is extremely creative and aggressive. Data show that in the past two seasons, Frank for the Zhejiang team played 82 games, not only excellent completion of the midfield organization scheduling, but also contributed to 28 goals and 12 assists. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the "Oscar" of Zhejiang.
As the old saying goes, "A thousand soldiers are easy to get, but a general is hard to find." However, in the current economic pressure of the Chinese Super League team, attracting budget constraints, it is difficult to find such as Frank, both strength and professionalism of the excellent foreign aid. Zhejiang team decisively with Frank contract extension, not only to avoid the loss of talent, but also save the transfer fee, is a win-win strategy.
