On August 31st, the wind and clouds have changed, and the Guangzhou soccer world is making waves again. Today, the first team list of Guangzhou ushered in a major update, and the much-anticipated Zhang Chenglin not only completed the coach registration procedures, but also reintegrated into the team family with the No. 43 jersey.
Dating back to the 2016 season, Zhang Chenglin shocked the Chinese Super League with a 100 million yuan transfer fee, becoming the first homegrown player worth over 100 million. In these two seasons, he helped his team win the CSL title and the China Super Cup glory. However, last season, he was loaned out to Kunshan FC in the Central League for training.
With Zheng Zhi in charge of Guangzhou's first team coaching, Zhang Chenglin chose to return and start afresh as a physical fitness coach. Now, the experienced coach and player has once again proved his strength and value.
