Recently, the representative of Guangzhou soccer - Guangzhou team, because of the parent company Evergrande Group Chairman Xu Jiayin suffered "compulsory measures", once again became the focus of fan discussion.
Looking back, Guangzhou Evergrande (i.e. the Guangzhou team) has made brilliant achievements in the field of soccer, winning 8 times of the Chinese Super League championship and 2 times of the Asian Championship championship, such achievements can be called a miracle in the history of soccer, and I am afraid that it is difficult for anyone to make a good achievement in the future.
During the peak period of Evergrande, it not only wrote a brilliant chapter, but also cultivated a batch of local stars worth millions or even hundreds of millions. Such as Gao Lin, Zheng Zhi, Feng Xiaoting, Zeng Cheng and other core players, they not only won countless honors for the team, but also won wealth for individuals.
Now, most of these meritorious players have retired, but there are still some such as Feng Xiaoting and Zhao Xu Ri who are fighting on the field. 37-year-old Feng Xiaoting joined Dongguan Dongguan United this season, and Zhao Xu Ri, who is the same age as him, plays for Guangxi Hahong Pingguo team.
This season, Dongguan Dongguan Federation had two meetings with Guangxi Hahong Pingguo, with Feng Xiaoting and Zhao Xuri both playing as captains. Although they are in the twilight of their careers, their performances are still noteworthy.
Currently, Guangxi Hahong Pingguo team is in the fifth place, with a small gap with Qingdao West Coast, and with six rounds left in the league, there is still a possibility of a comeback. However, the team has come with an unfortunate news, the music department suddenly announced the early termination of contract with captain Zhao Xuri.
Zhao Xuri made his debut with Dalian Shide before playing for Shaanxi Chanba and Guizhou Renhe.In 2012, he moved to Guangzhou Evergrande for 10 million yuan and played for the team for four seasons, winning four Chinese Super League titles and two AFC Champions League titles, making him a decorated player.
After leaving Evergrande in 2016, Zhao Xuri also played for a number of teams, including Tianjin Quanjian, Dalian Ren and Sichuan Jiuniu. At the beginning of this year, 37-year-old Zhao Xuri not retired, joined the Central League team Guangxi Hahong Pingguo.
This season, Zhao Xuri played 22 games for Guangxi Hahong Pingguo in the Central League, scoring few goals, but as the captain, his role in the team is crucial. However, with only three months left in his contract and the team still hoping for a comeback, Zhao Xuri was suddenly terminated by the club.
As a Dalian man, Zhao Xuri has a sincere character. After leaving Guangzhou Evergrande, he has never spoken ill of the club or Boss Xu. Unlike some former Evergrande players, Boss Xu publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with being forced to buy houses and financial products from his parent company shortly after the accident.
Zhao Xuri has re-entered his career after terminating his contract early with Guangxi Hahong Pingo FC. Despite his reluctance to retire, Zhao Xuri is likely to announce his retirement considering he will turn 38 in two months and the harsh environment of Chinese soccer, which is believed to make it difficult for him to find a job next year. We wish the veteran would become a soccer coach after his retirement and contribute to the rise of Chinese soccer.
