[Heavy News] On May 14th, Guangzhou City Football Club officially released that the contractual relationship with player Zhang Gong officially came to an end.
Dear fellow fans and media colleagues:
Today, we are pleased to announce that Guangzhou City Football Club has reached a new labor agreement with player Zhang Gong. Zhang Gong will continue to play every game of the 2022 season as a member of the team.
Zhang Gong, 30, was born on April 10, 1992, in Beijing, China, and plays as a back-rower.In November 2016, Zhang Gong, then 24 years old and "the king of breaks in the Central League", said goodbye to Dalian and resolutely went south to join Guangzhou City's big family. In his five seasons with Guangzhou City from 2017 to 2021, Zhang Gong played a total of 70 games for the team, contributing two goals and three assists.
In five years, Zhang Gong kept his feet on the ground and returned the club's trust with solid play. The 2021 season, in particular, became Zhang Gong's peak period at Guangzhou City, and his role in Van Garst's tactical system became more and more crucial.
As a defensive back, Zhang Gong has a wide range of movement and outstanding blocking ability. He is one of the few blocking backs in Guangzhou City's team and plays a vital role in the team's defensive system. We expect him to continue his dominance while also making a breakthrough on the offensive end to contribute more to the team.
Zhang Gong, who is entering his prime years, hopes to return fans' support with more solid performances in 2022. We expect that in the coming days, Zhang Gong will not only utilize his personal strengths, but also play the role of a pass-along, and work hand in hand with Guangzhou City to create even more brilliant achievements.
Guangzhou City Football Club Ltd.
