On August 31st, heavy news came from the Guangzhou soccer world: the first-team roster ushered in a new face, with Zhang Chenglin not only serving as a physical fitness coach, but also appearing in the player lineup with the No. 43 jersey. Zhu Yi, the head of the German transfer market in China, gave his insight into this unique phenomenon on social media.
Back in 2016, Zhang Chenglin became a member of the Guangzhou team. Last year, he had a brief stint with Kunshan FC. With Zheng Zhi returning to coach the Guangzhou first team, Zhang Chenglin also returned to take on the role of fitness coach. Now, his status has been upgraded again and he has become a unique dual role in the team.
Zhu Yi pointed out in the micro article, "The number of yellow cards accumulated by a person who is both a player and an official, in whatever capacity, will increase accordingly. It is worth noting that such dual-status players will face a two-yellow suspension if they suffer yellow-card accumulation, rather than the four-yellow penalty for ordinary players."
