In the 2021 season of the Chinese League One, Wuhan Sanzhen accumulated 79 points with an outstanding record of 25 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses, and entered the Chinese Super League next season as the champion of the New Branch Chinese League One.
Looking back at the team history of Wuhan Sanzhen, its predecessor was Wuhan Shangwen Football Club, which was established in 2016, and then renamed Wuhan Sanzhen Club in 2018, officially entering the Chinese Professional Football League.
In the 2020 Secondary B season, Wuhan Sanzhen pressed Zibo Keju to rush to the top of the league, and this year it was to suppress Meizhou Hakka and Zhejiang Greentown, lock in the champion of the Chinese First Division in advance, and rush to the Chinese Super League. In just three years, this new football team from Wuhan entered the Chinese Super League with its head held high.
With the financial support of the financial lord, the competitiveness of the lineup of wuhan three towns in the past season can be said to be very prominent in the stage of this level in the middle division, in addition to the three high-level players of Edmilson, Malkang and Ogebu, the domestic local players in Wuhan three towns are also quite strong, and there are many hometown children in the team, and there are five old-faced players who have been selected for the national football team. In this article, the author will summarize a little and introduce you to the five old faces of fans in the lineup of the Chinese League One champion Wuhan Sanzhen.
5. Liu Yiming
The 26-year-old Liu Yiming is in the middle of his career, has been the main central defender in the national youth era, and has been appreciated in the Lippi era to enter the national football team to compete in the Asian Cup, but the performance of that year was disappointing. Overall, Liu Yiming's level is still good in China, physical confrontation, high-altitude ball, defensive area can be, and the attributes are more balanced.
In terms of club career, Liu Yiming is a young man who stayed in the development route of the West, and in the early years, he performed well in the youth training echelon of Lisbon Athletic Club, one of the Portuguese giants, and got a formal professional contract at Sporting Lisbon, but he was helpless to fail to gain a foothold and return to China for development.
Thinking back to that year, Liu Yiming was in Tianjin with Zhang Xiuwei and Yan Zihao, who had returned to the same period of development, and called the three young generals of the Tianjin National Youth Gang. Later, in 2019, Liu Yiming got the opportunity to join the Chinese Super League giants Evergrande.
Unfortunately, when he played for Evergrande, Liu Yiming got few opportunities and sat on the cold bench for a long time. Fortunately, Shenzhen Kaisa Club in 2019 in the middle of the loan, Liu Yiming will not be in the best time to rise in the best time to watch the wall, but also gradually by the fans to forget the former talent. In April 2021, Liu Yiming moved to Wuhan Sanzhen Club in the Chinese League A. As the main centre-back, he helped the team to surpass the success, and his personal career also returned to the dawn of development.
Fourth, Geng Xiaofeng
The 34-year-old goalkeeper Geng Xiaofeng, one of the representatives of handsome players in domestic football, has performed well in the position of goalkeeper for many years, has played for Shandong Luneng, Shanghai Shenhua, Hebei Huaxia Happiness and other Chinese Super League teams, has entered the national football team roster in the Camacho era, and is the field goalkeeper who lost 1-5 to Thailand in the national football team.
Back in 2020, Geng Xiaofeng joined the Inner Mongolia Zhongyou Football Club, a Chinese league team, and began to disappear from the mainstream vision of football fans. With the outbreak of the cold winter of Chinese professional league clubs last year, the Inner Mongolia Zhongyou Club was dissolved, and Geng Xiaofeng turned to the new army Wuhan Sanzhen, which was relatively stable, and then became the team's territorial player.
3. Ren Hang
The 32-year-old Ren Hang, who debuted at the original Changsha Jinde Club and became famous at Jiangsu Sainty Football Club, once caused discussion among fans because of the sky-high transfer fee, and personally became the impression of fans at the most prosperous time of the False Golden Age of the Chinese Super League to some extent. In terms of strength, Ren Hang's performance in the league in his heyday was indeed a first-class full-back, but the duration was short, the national team career was not long and the performance was different from the club.
In April this year, Ren Hang joined Wuhan Sanzhen Football Club on loan from his original parent team Hebei Huaxia Happiness, becoming one of the outstanding players who returned the blood from the parent team on loan. In the Wuhan Three Towns Club, Ren Hang's partner Rong Hao was left and right, which made the team's side road very advantageous in the Chinese League A.
Second, Rong Hao
In his heyday, Rong Hao was a full-back who could sit firmly in the main force at the giant Evergrande, and was also a regular visitor to the national team, with excellent assist ability and stable personal defense. As a meritorious player in the 1.0 Dynasty era of Evergrande, Rong Hao basically could not play in the last two years of Evergrande, and successively loaned Shenhua and Tianjin, and officially ended the cooperative relationship with Evergrande in 2019, when Rong Hao was 32 years old.
Perhaps some people remember that as a native hometown soldier in Wuhan, Rong Hao first debuted in the Wuhan Optics Valley Club. At the end of his career, coinciding with the rise of a new team in his hometown, Rong Hao naturally returned to Wuhan to play football and became a member of the three towns in Wuhan. If there is no accident, in the Next Year's Chinese Super League season, fans can see Rong Hao, an old acquaintance.
1. Deng Zhuoxiang
The 33-year-old Deng Zhuoxiang, debuted from Wuhan Optics Valley Club, full of personal spirit, solid dribbling, excellent organization, strong long-range shooting and free kick skills, played an outstanding performance when he was young on loan in Jiangsu Shuntian, and then joined Luneng to continue to hand over the best newcomer performance in the Chinese Super League, and brought this confidence and aura to the national team in the Gao Hongbo era, becoming a representative international footballer who was greatly appreciated by national football fans in the dark period.
Unfortunately, due to injuries, he quickly fell back after entering the peak, faded out of the Chinese Super League early, and in recent years, he has been mixed in the Chinese First Division and the Chinese Second Division.
Thousands of sails have been exhausted, and I understand the warmth of home more! When the three towns of Wuhan became an army, the first thing they thought of was Deng Zhuoxiang, a hometown soldier, and then entered the crazy rush years of mutual achievement. In fact, Deng Zhuoxiang is still a fairly outstanding player in pure technical level, from the team to win the Chinese Second Division championship to the Chinese Super League championship, Deng Zhuoxiang's performance is outstanding, repeatedly standing up in key events to play a hero, in two years to lead the hometown team to the Chinese Super League, the physical state is also raised in recent years, looking forward to his return to the Chinese Super League, play the light spirit again!
