In the 20th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL), Shandong Taishan beat Shanghai Port 3-1 and tied Wuhan Sanzhen in a fierce battle for the top spot in the standings. At this point, defending champions Shandong Taishan showed the biggest dark horse of the season. on November 1, Football Daily featured Shandong Taishan captain Zheng Zheng's remarkable performance in a 90-minute match that deserved to be remembered. Before the match, Zheng Zheng unexpectedly received a commemorative jersey with the number 275 printed on it from the club's general manager Wu Zhidong, a seemingly mundane but significant number that signifies that Zheng Zheng has become the record holder for appearances in the Chinese Super League in the team's history. Zheng Zheng joined Shandong Luneng in 2008, and after two years of honing his skills, he made his debut on March 27, 2010 in the first round of the 2010 CSL season against Hangzhou Greentown. Immediately after, he made his debut again three days later in the AFC Champions League against South Korea's Pohang Tippeligaen. In these two matches, Zheng Zheng conquered countless fans with his superb technique, excellent physical condition and stable mental quality. His mature performance made the 21-year-old youngster the obvious choice for Taishan's main left back after just two games. In that season, he played 22 games for the team and contributed two goals. Zheng Zheng's career trajectory was perfect, as he didn't have to go through the stage of substituting and adapting to the game, and he didn't have to suffer the ups and downs that come with youthful stardom. He made his debut as a starter and has remained a starter until now, 13 years later. He said, "Luneng Soccer School and Taishan Football Club provided me with a stable platform, nurtured me and allowed me to enjoy soccer in a relaxed environment." Today, Zheng Zheng has not only become the captain of Shandong Taishan, but also shares the team's burden with the biggest star of the team, Fellaini. In fact, Zheng Zheng made the transition from left back to center back a few years ago, and he has shown excellent defensive abilities in both club and national teams. However, he will still return to his more familiar left-back position in important club matches, allowing Jadason and Shi Ke to partner at center-back, which has become a tactical adjustment for Shandong Taishan. At the age of 33, Zheng Zheng is still in great shape and has a bright career ahead of him. In the near future, he will set a new appearance record in the history of Shandong Taishan.
