On May 14, heavy news came from the Chinese soccer world, Guangzhou City Football Club officially released a statement announcing that it had reached a contract extension agreement with player Zhang Gong.
Dear fans and media friends:
Today, we are here to joyfully announce that Guangzhou City Football Club has successfully renewed the working contract with player Zhang Gong. Zhang Gong will continue his journey with Guangzhou City and do his best for every game in the 2022 season.
Zhang Gong, 30, was born in Beijing on April 10, 1992, and plays as a back-rower.In November 2016, Zhang Gong, the 24-year-old "Central League Breakdown King", said goodbye to Dalian and transferred to Guangzhou City. In his five seasons at Guangzhou City from 2017 to 2021, Zhang Gong played 70 games for the team, contributing two goals and three assists.
Over the past five years, Zhang Gong has played steadily and returned the club's trust with outstanding performances. Especially in the 2021 season, Zhang Gong played an increasingly important role in Van Garst's system and became the team's highlight.
As a defensive back, Zhang Gong has a wide range of movement and excellent blocking ability. He is one of the few blocking backs in Guangzhou City's team and is crucial to the team's defensive system. We expect him to unlock new roles on the offensive end while maintaining his dominance and provide more help to the team.
Zhang Gong will be 30 years old in 2022, and the player, who just turned 30, is looking forward to rewarding the fans' support with more solid performances. We expect Zhang Gong to not only play well in the coming days, but also to play a role as a mentor on and off the field, and work hand in hand with Guangzhou City to create a brilliant future.
