Zheng Zhi traveled to Europe to join which team

Zheng Zhi stayed in England's Charlton FC and Scotland's Celtic FC. Zheng Zhi has a total of four years of experience in the foreign countries, that year in the help of Luneng harvested the honor of the domestic double, Zheng Zhi was given the opportunity to stay in the foreign countries, he decisively chose to go abroad and in 2006 joined Charlton, which at that time was still in the English Premier League. Unfortunately, the club was relegated in his first season with the club, but the player worked his way up to captain in the second division. Although Zheng Zhi was highly regarded at the club, he was always the centerpiece of the team. But when the club was relegated again, Zheng Zhi said that he would not play for them again.

So in 2009, he joined Celtic, the most powerful team in the Scottish Premier League. Zheng Zhi received a 1+1 contract, and his weekly salary was also very high at £10,000, which belonged to the upper-middle level in the team. However, after the change of owner, Zheng Zhi's performance was not as expected, belonging to the level of high start and low finish. After the new coach Lennon took over, the players regarded him as overpaid and underpaid, and at the same time believed that his physical fitness no longer meets the needs of the league level. As a result, Zheng Zhi was increasingly seen wearing suits and watching matches from the fans' seats.

But despite this, he followed the team to the runner-up spot in the league that season. Although he was given fewer and fewer chances to play, Zheng Zhi was still eager to stay in the team, thinking that he could play in his dream Champions League match next season. There was also a more practical reason: if he could stay in the team for another year, he would have been able to stay for five whole years to obtain a green card, which would make it easier for him to work in the future. But the head coach still mercilessly issued an expulsion order, Zheng Zhi had to think about their own future. At this time Zheng Zhi has two choices in front of him, one is the domestic Central League team Evergrande's high-paying contract, and the other is the invitation of the English Premier League team Birmingham, and finally realized that he is already 30 years old Zheng Zhi chose to go back to his home country.
